📚Longest fic you've read in one sitting?

Okay so I just went through my AO3 history and I’m pretty sure it’s K'diwa: A Steamy Novel of Interspecies Romance, by Jim Kirk at 98,398 words! I normally don’t read long fics because I don’t have the time/attention span but ever since quarantine I've been reading a bunch.

Harry Potter Fanfic Recommendations continued...

I did one of these lists back in June, and y’all KNOW! that I have even more to share with the world.

This list is a mix between crossovers and single-fandom fics, and are drarry or rarepair-centric, but either way I’ll mark which are which when I get to it.

If you want to see what I’ve been enjoying lately, check out my bookmarks on the Archive

Man of Iron, Child of Magic by zathara001

Harry Potter and MCU, no slash, 107k word count, 32 chapters, completed, teen

In the aftermath of the Chitauri invasion, Tony Stark sorts out his priorities - including one he didn't think he had.

Okay I followed this one from the beginning as a WIP because this is exactly the fic that I was looking for. Tony being Irondad for Harry is the most wholesome thing ever, and Uncle Steve is also 20/10. I will say, this fic is not as dark as a lot of this hp/mcu fics of this trope because it happens in Harry’s younger Hogwarts years and his childhood isn’t too ruined just yet. It focuses a lot on Tony’s growth as a father rather than working through Harry’s trauma (which, don’t get me wrong, that happens as well). Harry still has the naive outlook on life that a child should have and it just makes my heart swell.

Although this fic is done, the sequel has not been uploaded yet, as this fic was just completed late August, but don’t let that deter you. The author is a sweetheart to interact with on new updates (which were quite frequent).

Golden Boy’s Dance by Madriddler

Harry Potter, Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy/Blaise Zabini, 57k word count, 13 chapters, completed, explicit

Two years after the defeat of Voldemort and Harry is feeling useless. Jobless and suffering from PTSD, Harry spent his days going from horrible interview to horrible interview hopelessly looking for a job. Feeling completely useless, Harry, with the help of George, turns to a new profession that Harry never even thought of : being a camboy. Pleasuring himself for money and people's entertainment, Harry hopes to find a use for the Savior of the Wizarding World in this Peaceful Era.

Yeah so uh,,, this is a total guilty pleasure kink fic and I’m not at all ashamed for putting this fic on here. I won’t even lie, sometimes it felt a bit cheesey, but the porn was so well written it didn’t even matter. I swear to you this is porn with plot and lots of it. Harry works through his post traumatic stress disorder in ways that may or may not be slightly unhealthy, but beyond the porn, it’s really about Harry being okay in his own skin, as someone with mental health issues and as a sex worker. It was a hell of a good time to read and I definitely cried for Harry a time or two.

A Dented Old Street Sign by orphanghost

Harry Potter, Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy, 27k word count, one-shot, completed, mature

Draco knows they aren't the only students who will be completing their NEWTs this year, but they are the only ones whose home fireplaces were disconnected from the floo network by the ministry.

At least, Draco assumes as much until he sees the light falling out from the front door of one of the other rickety old houses in front of them and the three figures cast in its warm glow. For a moment they look like some sort of strange, many legged creature. An acromantula, or a particularly massive Blast-Ended Skrewt. Then Draco hears Pansy make a disgusted sound beside him and the light falls in a less blinding way, and Draco can see that it is actually Potter and the Weasel carrying a large couch between them, and Granger fluttering around them with her wand out, seeming concerned.

I don’t think I’ve laughed this much reading a fic in a long time. The golden trio and the Slytherin gang live in the same neighborhood while attending their 8th year at Hogwarts and i swear to fucking god, the amount of mutual pining and angst between Harry and Draco is fucking ridiculous, but you can’t help but love them anyway. Sometimes I wanted to throttle them and then shove them into a closet together so they would just t a l k but like in a good way. also the Christmastime atmosphere is something I just live for.

Words Unread, Things Unsaid by PinkCrupps

Harry Potter, no slash Harry & Snape, 18k word count, 7 chapters, completed, teen

What if the Dursley’s were a little crueler, and a little smarter? What if they didn’t want Harry going to school because they didn’t want anyone to see the bruises?

What if Harry had to leave for Hogwarts, carrying a shameful secret? One that Severus Snape is determined to discover.

When I say this one hurt, I mean it h u r t. I feel so bad because when I first read the tags I laughed when I saw the illiterate tag because I make the “I can’t read” jokes often but then I read the fic and i felt SO BAD OMG.

I am no fan of Snape, let it be known, but this fic, I think made me feel like he actually deserved a bit of a redemption arc (even if it’s fanon). This whole time, all I could think of is giving harry a big hug and never letting him go.

I said this in the notes of my bookmark, and I stand by it: “

I feel like the hurt/comfort tag on this one is also meant for the reader”

What Happens to the Heart by Mossycoat

Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, 33k word count, 18 chapters, completed, mature

With no girlfriend, no job, and no idea what he wants, Harry has decided to let life go on without him. If only prophetic dreams, demanding ghosts, and Draco Malfoy would let him.

If you need a pick-me-up after the sadness for the prior fic, may i recommend this one. Seer!Harry is a headcanon that I had never seen before this fic, and I was not let down whatsoever. We love a fic where the OCs are wonderful and the writing style is immaculate. The incorporation of tarot and divination into the chapter names and plot also makes my babywitch heart s i n g!!

Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Relevant_Peach

Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, 70k word count, 15 chapters, completed, no rating specified, but probably teen/ mature for mental health tingz

Draco Malfoy would do anything to find a cure for his son's life-threatening disease. When he crosses paths with an old acquaintance, it unleashes a string of events that will uncover secrets and deceptions. Will Draco be able to look past the misdeeds of his old lover's past? Will Harry ever find the family he longs for?

Ah yes, who knew that pain could feel so good. Everything seems to be fine until it isn’t with this one.

Turn by Saras_Girl

Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, 306k word count, 14  chapters, completed, explicit

One good turn always deserves another. Apparently.

oh my goD yes a classic we love to see it. This is one of those fics that is long but doesn’t reallly feel like it is? This is definitely another feel-good fic, even if it doesn’t seem that way in the beginning. Not only does it focus on Harry and Draco’s relationship, but also their relationships with their family, specifically their children. It’s just really heartwarming whenever Harry get’s all fatherly with his kids. ugh I swear I don’t want any but this is just SO ADORABLE! Plus Blaise Zabini rights thank you very much.

Also Boris can suck my left toe.

There’s a Pureblood Custom For That by Lomonaaeren

Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, 105k word count, 36 chapters, completed, mature

The day that Harry stops Draco Malfoy and his son from being bothered in the middle of Diagon Alley starts a strange series of interactions between him and Malfoy. Who knew there was a pure-blood custom for every situation?

This is another fluffier one, and I have absolutely no shame. Draco is just trying so hard to get through Harry’s thick, clueless skull and Harry is just trying to understand. They’re just so adorable I can’t. And Harry defending Draco’s and his relationship after people are like fuck naw just warms my heart. Like yes Harry, protect ur mans you adorable himbo you.

Our Own Demons by Emmalie22

Harry Potter, MCU, Harry Potter & Tony Stark, Harry Potter/Peter Parker, 119k word count, 24 chapters, WIP, teen/mature

Tony Stark. Genius. Billionaire. Philanthropist. Ironman. (Reckless. Lonely. Father.)

Harry Potter. The Boy Who Lived. The Chosen One. Wizard. (The Master of Death. Survivor. Breaking.)

Tony Stark never thought he would be a father. But when a lawyer comes knocking and truths become evident, he realizes that he can’t let his son walk out of his life. For Harry, acknowledging his relationship with Tony is a last-ditch effort to gain freedom and control over his life. Although the journey might not be easy, Tony and Harry learn to heal and become a family, facing trials and tribulations on the way such as a scheming Death, a Mad Titian, Dark Wizards, dangerous Doctors, and living Wards.

I’m so sorry to give you a WIP that hasn’t been updated in 10 months, but I couldn’t let this one slide. I’m so attached to these characters it’s unhealthy. I’m not gonna lie, this fic was the product of a very hyperspecific filtered search on AO3 but I’m not even mad at it. Tony is Harry’s father but unlike the other fic on this rec list, Harry is a bit more grown up and bears a lot of the scars of 5th year (y’all don’t need me to specify with that one). It’s a lovely family dynamic and super fluffy Peter and Harry wow we love to see it. Harry is also super fucking smart AS HE IS! I will never get over people calling him stupid ugh Harry rights. But yes, author friend, if you see this, update when you can I’m so in love with this.

If anybody wants me to do more specific lists, I will totally do so. Just reblog or private message me. And if you have any other fic recs, please do so too because I’m always looking for something else to read.

[villa-kulla]

fanfic authors’ tag game

sort of tagged by @fontainebleau22!

AO3 name: VillaKulla

Fandom(s): The Magnificent Seven 2016, previously Breaking Bad, and dipped into the Kingsman fandom on one occasion as well

Number of fics: 24

1. Fic you spent the most time on: 

Oh absolutely Waveson by a mile (or should I say ‘by a league’ lol sorrynotsorry). It started out fast and then I hit the middle section and was stumped about how to give it the vibe I wanted for like a year lol. Managed to get back on it though and power through, but I definitely made the most changes/revisions to that one (rather than my usual ‘write the whole thing out in one-shot/edit as I go/make any necessary language changes later but keep the original structure’ method)

2. Fic you spent the least time on:

I wrote Ashes in like one afternoon lol, which amazes me because of how ‘complete’ that fic feels. Also Desert Sand only took about 3 days cumulatively speaking, although I posted it over the course of a week and a half.

3. Longest fic:

Chisolm’s 7 apparently! Not sure I knew that lol but yeah makes sense, I guess that one’s almost at 100k.

4. Shortest fic: 

Pens & Swords, not sure I knew that either! Aww I’d almost forgotten about that one but yeah, that one is short and sweet in all the ways.

5. Most hits:

The Kingsman football AU I did called Out of Left Field! Surprised that one gained so much traction in such a large fandom, but it did have the benefit of lots of chapters and people putting it on their rec lists. Thank goodness they did, because it was an odd AU premise lol. Desert Sand is a close second though. That one was among the first Mag7 fics so I think it became a bit of a go-to read when the fandom was first getting started, which accounts for a lot of its hits.

6. Most kudos:

Also the Kingsman one, with Desert Sand in second

7. Most comment threads: 

Again with the Kingsman one lol

8. Fave fic you wrote: 

Probs River Grit, it feels nearest and dearest. And idk if I’d call it a favourite just because it’s so damn sad lol, but I feel like In the Pines aka the ‘super sad death fic’ honestly has some of my best writing in it haha. However depressing it was to write, I did enjoy that world and the characterizations, that’s another fic that feels ‘complete’ in a lot of ways

(also I always feel compelled to point out that Billy being the ‘unfortunately chosen one’ WAS NEVER PERSONAL OR HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH BILLY I LOVE HIM. The whole fic started as a Fried Green Tomatoes prompt gone awry lol, and in that scenario it was Goody who made the cut lol sry Billy ilu <3 Had I intentionally set out to write a major character death fic for the heck of it, it could have gone either way between Goody or Billy. )

9. Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: 

Ooof most of mine I’d keep as is but there are a few I’d change a little. I feel like I kind of rushed Sam’s arc in Chis7 and didn’t give him a proper conclusion so I’d want to expand on his role more. Also there’s an old BrBa fic I did once where I uploaded a first part that was standalone, and then went and added a part two. But looking back it functioned way better as one part. I think I’d also scrap the ‘horse ex machina’ from Desert Sand lmao even though it felt fun at the time, but now it feels cringey (although on the plus side it’s maybe the least pretentious fic I’ve written:P

And not to STILL be lingering on the selkie AU lol, but I still think I could have made that better. I think what it needed was more Billy POV. In my mind Billy was going through a whole ‘little mermaid’ scenario of his own in that fic with wanting to be on land but conflicted about it. But I was aiming for a certain atmosphere of ‘present time only’, so I kept it to just Goody’s POV without delving into too much backstory of either character. But that had the drawback of diminishing Billy’s emotional state, so I feel like his motivations were never entirely clear to the reader. I think I could have solved that by sharply jumping time periods at the start of part 2 and telling Billy’s story in flashback from his POV. I think that would have been really cool. Who knows, maybe I’ll tweak it some day. Also with the selkie au, I hate to say it but they really had better chemistry in the seal scenes lmao.

Also not a fic, but I was once given a FMK scenario with Goody, Billy, and Vasquez, and I would like to revise my previous answers and change it to: F = Goody because he’s nonthreatening, M = Billy because we have canon evidence of him being the best husband in the world, and K = Vasquez because idk he’s a big boy and he can take it

10. Share a bit of your WIP or share a story idea that you’re planning:

I’m not currently working on any fics, although I do miss those sweet cowboys! I’d like to write something else for them but I just haven’t felt sufficiently motivated. But depending on how long this quarantine lasts, who knows lol.

likewise tagging anyone who feels like it!

[angrysoftboi-blog]

dark fic recs:

now i like to think it’s no secret that i’m somewhat of a dark fic connoisseur *chefs kiss*, so i have comprised a list to get you dark fic virgins in the game, as well as give the dark fic writers the love they deserve. here are a few of my favourites to pop your cherry:

daddy’s sorry

by @onestopmacabreshop

this shit is bananas y’all. b-a-n-a-n-a-s. but seriously, though, maybe try a few of the other recommended ones before you give this one a go, it is not for the faint of heart lol. like, we’re talking: rey is forced to fuck her dad (ben) at gunpoint, dark. hot in the way that you’re like “why do i think this is hot?” you know? 10/10 would recommend 👍

thick skin

by @newerconstellations

i have probably read this fic at least five times, it’s that good. teenage ben solo has a growing obsession with his babysitter, rey, and one week while his parent are away, he decides to act on it. the pr0n in this fic is muy bien 👌. i will probably read this again once i’m done.

confinement

by @albastargazer

this fic is what i would consider to be dark fic lite, which is a very good place to start off, in the way that a lot of the things that happen in this fic are out of rey or bens control. ben is the ceo of the company that rey works for, and they find themselves not only trapped together, but growing closer, as their captor seems to want to tear them apart. can they keep their humanity as well as their base urges in check, or will their mystery captor make them no better than he is? i personally love this fic, and would recommend to any darkfic virgin that is looking for a good starting point.

silence

by @malevolent-reveries

now this wouldn’t be a dark fic rec without the dark fic queen herself, MR. this is probably one of my favourites, and i will go to my grave saying so. when bounty hunter ben captures rey, a dwindling female, in a society where women are sold off to the highest bidder, the two come to an agreement that ben will take rey to find the notorious rebel, leia organa, in exchange for the big bucks. watch ben struggle to keep his end of the bargain, as he slowly falls for rey, and watch rey attempt to keep her composure as she tries to fend him off. dystopian road trip anybody?

freak the janitor

also by @onestopmacabreshop

i LOVE this fic. the emotion. the writing. the pr0n. OP’s MIND. the sweet, awkward janitor at rey’s school, matt, offers her a ride home in his car. she knows she should say no, but she also knows he’s trying to be kind, so she gets in with him anyway. Y I K E S. thank me later for this.

whole lotta sin

also by @newerconstellations

whew. i cant even with this one. so what if rey’s embezzling from the company she works for? it’s not like anyone’s noticed. until someone does. rey’s crimes are used against her for sexually favoured blackmail, at the hands of a mystery man who seems to be obsessed with her. chapter 12 slapped me in the face, spit in my mouth, and i thanked it. you’re welcome.

ligature marks

by @adventures-of-gypsy-and-renovski

this fic is tres tres bien, my friend, top tier shit. a few girls in rey’s town are showing up murdered, raped and oddly caked?? obviously rey and other members of her community are shaken up, but luckily she has her sweet next door neighbor, ben, to look after her, and he definitely couldn’t be the culprit, right? *more urgently* RIGHT?? very good, would recommend 👍

on that note, friendly reminder that the contents of what someone reads or writes do not determine their character. fiction is just that: fiction, and in reading or writing dark fic, it does not mean that you condone the actions of the story. reading or writing dark fic is not immoral or wrong, sexuality is just wack ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if you don’t like it, don’t read it, it’s as easy as that.

The Alphabet Ask Game’s Answers!

The Alphabet Ask Game I invented (reinvented?) has many answers waiting to be unveiled. You will find which metaphorical doors have been opened here... 

You should look at the above link before making any requests. You will have to look up definitions for the words. Sorry... 

UPDATE 7/7/19: From here, I might post one or two fic-recs for stated favorite characters.

UPDATE 7/14/19: Since I think this has died down, I’m just gonna fill in the rest day by day. If anyone volunteers another letter, I’ll throw in the daily one as an extra.

Let’s see how much we can do, everyone!

A

While I had many choices from Miraculous, I instead decided to go for a series close to my childhood’s heart - Alex the Lion (Madagascar). With the exception of Penguins of Madagascar, watching the movies has been a tradition on my mom’s side since the first one, so I thought this would be a nice pick! Known as the King of New York, Alex has gone on many adventures with his friends (NOPE). On those adventures, he has (NICE TRY), (HAHAHAH-NO), and eventually he (YEAH NO SPOILERS). Wait... if Alex is the King, and Spider-Man protects New York, does that make Spider-Man Alex’s Knight or something?

Headcanon based off “Abomasum” - All wielders of the Ox Miraculous have been able to swallow anything without throwing up immediately. That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t puke it out at all, though - it just means they are less likely to puke as quickly as a non-Ox wielder.

Story Idea based off “Au Courant” - Overwatch AU where the Slipstream came back, after Talon showed up but before Amelie’s kidnapping. It would feature her & Winston after she was found and fixed up with the Chronal Accelerator, with Winston catching her up on everything that has happened.

B

C

D

E

F

G

Is it that wrong that I would pick Gabriel Agreste/Collector/Hawkmoth (Miraculous Ladybug) as one of my favorites? I find his backstory interesting, and his powers even more so. While I do feel bad for him, I know that’s no excuse to do what he does. He not only fits my definition of spoiled but Einstein’s definition of insanity! 

Headcanon based off “Greng-jai” - Marinette got herself into helping so many people all at once because Tom or Sabine got hurt - however big or small the resulting pain - in the bakery when she made a mistake of some sort, and she started being ultra-helpful to try and atone for it. Eventually, it turned into just how she is.

Story Idea based off “Goodfella” - Gabriel created his evil lair with the help of... illegal parties. How else was he supposed to keep the whole thing secret?

H

I

J

K

L

M

Makoto Niijima a.k.a. Queen (Persona 5) is one of the more “normal” members of the Phantom Thieves. Ever since she helped the team defeat a greedy mafia member called Kaneshiro with her newly awakened Persona Johanna - later Anat - Shujin’s School Council President has introduced many a villain to her spiked fists.

Headcanon based off “Manqué” - Nathalie’s a Hi-Po who could have become a lot more powerful in the fashion world - more than Gabriel - but her attraction to Gabriel holds her back. Gabriel knows this, and it scares him - until Mayura, it was the only reason he kept her around.

Story Idea based off “Meacock” - In which Adrien walks in on Nathalie’s secret stereotypically-girly side (writer picks the details) and gets her to be a bit more honest with herself. Bonus Points if there’s trans!Adrien. Extra Bonus Points if she reveals herself as Mayura. 

N

O

P

Q

R

S

It may not count like the others, but I chose to go with Jack Morrison a.k.a. Soldier:76. Overwatch’s fandom has many “family roles,” and Jack is the Team Dad. While I haven’t played in a long time, I recall him being the only former Offensive character who can heal others. Also, did you know Overwatch’s former Strike Commander has the middle name of Francis?

Headcanon based off “Sarmie” - Max is terrible at food prep other than slapping something in a microwave, but he makes a killer sandwich.

Story Idea based off “Sui Generis” - Adrien asks Plagg what made him special enough to be chosen. Bonus points for Gabriel angst. 

T

U

V

W

X

Y

I don’t want to repeat the same fandom too often, so for Y, I chose Yoshi (Super Mario Bros.). T. Yoshisaurus Munchakoopas (yes, that’s their full name) and their species have been helping the Mario Brothers since they were babies. They can swallow almost anything with their long tongue, and turn them into eggs for “ammo.” Speedy, sweet, and set with a stupendously-sized appetite for fruit, Yoshi will be your best friend when you need them. Just don’t let him run off the cliff, okay?

Headcanon based off “Yellowback” - Ohya has a successful side business writing fictional stories under the alias of Beelzebubbly. She had been considering quitting journalism to work on it the day Akira began a Social Link with her.

Story Idea based off “Ylem” - A fic on the composition of kwami and how it changed as new ones were created.

~Mint-Yooxgi’s Fic Recs~

Since a few of you have been asking, and since I've been wanting to do this for a while, here they are! In no particular order, here are some of my favourite fics I've read so far on Tumblr by some amazing authors. As I read more, more stories will be added to the list, but these are the ones that I could think of off the top of my head currently. So, without further ado, here are some of my fic recs!

BTS

I Won’t Stop You - Vampire!Jungkook X Reader Series by @imsarabum

Vampire!AU, Fantasy, Angst, Smut

Now, normally I don’t read long series, or many Jungkook fics since he’s not my bias, but let me tell you something. This series is one of the best series I have had the pleasure of reader. The way the characters are described and the emotions they go through make you feel like they’ve come to life. I love the way it’s written, and how the author puts their own twist on a seemingly classic supernatural creature. The sexual tension alone is enough to get one hot and bothered before any smut actually takes place. Plus, the way the OC is written is very strong, where she’s able to stand up for herself and is also very headstrong. I really enjoyed that aspect. I highly recommend this series to anyone who hasn't read it yet.

Blue Orchids - Jungkook X Reader by @inktae

Angst, A little bit of fluff

Says I don't read many Jungkook fics yet my first two on my rec post are both Jungkook fics. Anyways, I remember seeing this fic on so many fic rec posts before and I always put off reading it since I'm not a huge fan of angst unless I'm in the mood. I wish I read this one sooner. This was one of the first fics that introduced me to the Hanahaki Desease concept and from the first few paragraphs I was hooked. The way the emotions are portrayed, and the overall progression of the story had my heart clenching in pain over the course of this fic. I enjoyed reading this fic and thought it was very well written and paced.

Demon Ritual Series - BTS X Reader by @sopewriters

Horror, Smut

Now, anyone who knows me knows that I love anything supernatural, dark, and creepy (hence my love for Yandere! themed stories). These were actually some of the first fics I read when I was starting to get into the K-Pop community. They’re all very well written with their own interesting plots, plus the added element of smut adds for an even more compelling read. If you scare easily, I recommend reading with the lights on since these stories are all based on very real demon summoning rituals.

The Endless Winter - Jimin X Reader by @workofteaguk

Fluff, Idol/Fan!AU, Soulmate!AU

I remember when this popped up on my dash and I read the summary, I was intrigued, When I read it, I was not disappointed. I love the way this specific AU is portrayed since I happen to be a sucker for soulmate AUs. I was highly impressed with the flow of the story and how the series of events take place. I really like it.

EXO

The Cartel - EXO X Reader Series by @kpopfanfictrash, @iwonchubebe, @changseobbing, @bread-jinie, @imdifferentshadesofpurple, @def-initely-soul, @knockknocksoosthere, and @mak-baes (I hope I tagged everyone!)

Mature, Smut

Once I read the first two stories in the series, I was hooked. Each writer has a unique way of bringing their characters and AU to life. I was never disappointed with this series. The fact that it’s all based around a 70′s drug cartel just makes things more interesting, and usually I'm not a fan of these types of AUs. I remember being so excited for each instalment before they were released and how happy I was when I saw the next part posted. Each story flows well into the next, and you can easily follow the chain of events that continues throughout the series. This series is definitely one of my favourites along with I Won’t Stop You.

Deranged - EXO (Suho) X Reader Series by @heebiejbies

Psychological!AU, Angst

In which Junmyeon has a dissociative identity disorder and each member of EXO is a different identity. I read it all in a few hours and after I was done the most recent part, I remember being like, ‘I can't wait to see what happens next!’ The whole idea and concept surrounding this fic is so intriguing and I absolutely love the way each character is portrayed and the sequence of events that have occurred so far. This series is written brilliantly and I cannot wait for more!

Nothing More - Baekhyun X Reader Series by @peachykaix

Angst

This was another series I was hesitant to start since angst hurts me in so many ways, but it was so worth the read. I loved every second of this fic, and the way it is written is so beautiful. The way the emotions are portrayed really tug at my heartstrings. I remember reading part one before class and wanting to read the next part immediately after, but I had to wait. It was worth it, and my heart was aching by the time I was finished reading it.

Exodus Mall Series - EXO X Reader by @yehet-me-up

Fluff, Smut

I’ve only read a few of the stories posted so far, but I'm already in love. I love the buildup of fluff scenes, they make me feel all soft on the inside, and the progression just makes for a great story. I’m excited to continue reading this series and for more parts to come out! I love the way the author also interconnects each story with each other. It amazes me the time and effort spent planning this all out, and they're doing such a good job so far!

Devil’s Advocate - Vampire!Chanyeol X Angel!Reader by @nunchiwrites

Action, Fluff, Angst, Thriller, Vampire!AU, Angel!AU

Now, when I say this is a good series, this is a good series. I remember when I first came across it when I first got into the K-Pop community on Tumblr, I thought it was going to be completely different than how it turned out, so I put off reading it for a bit. This story completely blew away my expectations and flipped what I thought about it upside-down. I absolutely love the way the characters are portrayed, and everything leading up to the end flows so smoothly and leaves you wanting more after each chapter. Plus, I love how there’s fight in the OC instead of just surrendering immediately.

Of Lemongrass and French Vanilla - Werewolf!Jongdae X Reader also by @nunchiwrites

Fluff, Action, Thriller, Mystery, Werewolf!AU

Literally one of the best Jongdae fics I have read so far. I love everything about this fic and the situations that occur in it. The way the scenario plays out made me want to read it as soon as I could to figure out what happened next. I also love the portrayal of the characters and overall the way it is written. Plus, I'm a sucker for any typer of soulmate AUs.

Scars - Sehun X Reader by @forexcapism

Angst, Soulmate!AU

Remember that post I made awhile back regarding this fic? No? Well let me remind you. This fic is so beautifully written and progressed, your heart will be aching the whole time you read it. The portrayal of emotions and scenes are so well written, that this fic actually brought me close to tears, and I don’t normally get too emotional over fics. I love this fic so much, and it’s sequel. Honestly, everything on their masterlist is a pleasure to read!

I’m Here - Kyungsoo X Reader also by @forexcapism

Horror

The entire concept of this fic had me intrigued, even just by reading the title I was hooked. The element of suspense and horror situated throughout this fic is just the perfect amount, and it definitely sent a few chills down my back as I was reading it. I definitely recommend it if you love supernatural type fics with the element of horror. Plus, it’s written very well.

Pink - Sehun X Reader by @soobadnoonecanstopher

Humour, Smut, Fluff, Neighbour!AU

Reading this, I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I could not keep the smile off my face as I read the first half of this fic. It’s very well paced and feels like an actual situation that could happen. Plus, the added sexual tension and smut at the end makes for one hot story. I love this fic, and I highly recommend you read it, as you won't be disappointed.

All Yours - Sub!Jongin X Reader by @silhouetted-beauty

Slight Angst, Smut

Holy shit is this ever a good fic! Sub!Jongin? Sign me the fuck up, hell yes! The way this story is written is so sinful, but it does not take away from the plot at all. An added bonus is that this story is told mainly from Jongin’s perspective, a fact that I love. The way this fic is written is so entertaining, and I remember finishing it and thinking, ‘wow, it’s over already?’ It is that good.

GOT7

A Theory - GOT7 X Reader Series by @maknae-unnie

Angst, Smut

In which all seven members of GOT7 take the OC on a wild ride, with the influence of Jimin and Taehyung, of course. Let me just say, I love the concept behind this fic and the way it’s written will have you smirking in no time (or blushing, idk). I definitely recommend it.

Seven Steps To Hell - GOT7 X Reader Series also by @sopewriters

Seven Cardinal Sins!AU, Drama, Angst, Smut

Each of the members as one of the seven deadly sins? Yes please! Each story has a unique take on these sins and how the sins are portrayed. I love the entire concept surrounding this fic and it is very well written. This is definitely not your typical seven deadly sins fic. I love how each of their characters are portrayed, and how the OC’s character is as well. It definitely gives you something to think about.

7 Days of Heaven - GOT7 X Reader Series by @yg-got7scenarios

Smut, Fluff

What better way to celebrate your birthday than with the guys of GOT7? How about a week vacation where each night you get a different member to live out a confessed drunken fantasy with? Score! Honestly though, I love the whole idea behind this series as it’s unique, and hilarious to read at the beginning of each fic what the OC unknowingly confesses to certain members while drunk. This series made me learn some new things about myself too, if you know what I mean. *Wink, wink* In all seriousness though, I really enjoyed this and I love the way it’s written.

Pull of the Moon - Werewolf!Jaebum X Reader by @honghearts

Werewolf!AU, Fluff, Smut, Friends to lovers!AU

When I say please read this fic, please read this fic! The way it’s written is so amazing and I really felt for JB for the first little bit. Plus, it was really hot. This is literally one of my favourite fics that I always go back to because I love the plot, the smut, and the flow of the story. You will not be disappointed if you read this fic. Another early fic of mine the I found when getting into K-Pop.

Monsta X

The Line Between Right and Wrong - Vampire!Wonho X Chubby!Reader by @jaehyunskitten22

Smut, Fluff, Vampire!AU

Words cannot even begin to describe how I feel about this fic. I love it so much, and it’s so damn sexy! I also really appreciate the fact that it’s with a chubby!reader as sometimes it’s hard to picture myself in certain fics as I'm not the skinniest person out there. I remember when I chanced upon this fic, I was immediately blown away by the writing style and the concept. Literally everything on their masterlist is gold. I love this fic so much, and I highly recommend reading it!

VIXX

Proud - Ken X Reader by @byleo

Fluff, Smut, First time!AU

This fic is literally the reason I started biasing Ken in the first place. It’s written so well, and it’s so hot, I love every single aspect of it. Not only is it written well, but it is more from the point of view of Ken, which just adds onto the story in my opinion. The first time AU incorporated into this fic is literally the sweetest thing ever, you will not regret reading this one bit!

[classicdaisycalico]

Thank you X3 Now for the last one! Luigi/Daisy 😎 (Luisy?)

AHHHH YESOTP TIME HERE WE GO

Send me a ship and I’ll tell you:

WHO HOGS THE DUVET: Idk…probably Luigi? I think he can get kinda cold easily…

WHO TEXTS/RINGS TO CHECK HOW THEIR DAY IS GOING: Daisy, without a doubt. If Luigi is ever having a bad day, she will never hesitate to try and send him a cute message/phone call/text/Snapchat to make his day better!

WHO’S THE MOST CREATIVE WHEN IT COMES TO GIFTS:Luigi, most likely. He’s a really nice guy, and I think he knows just what to do when it comes to gifts because he’s good at reading people.

WHO GETS UP FIRST IN THE MORNING: Daisy, actual ray of sunshine that she is, is up with the birds, always ready to greet the day!

* S K I P AAAAAAAA*

WHO CRIES AT MOVIES: Mostly Luigi lol, although Daisy does shed a tear or two on a regular basis.

WHO GIVES UNPROMPTED MASSAGES: Daisy; again, it’s for whenever Luigi has a bad day.

HOW THEY ARE WHEN THEY’RE SICK: Daisy can get very grumpy, quite unlike her general mannerisms. But Luigi, sweetheart that he is, will spring into action to help her feel better, and not just with the family recipe of the spicy soup, but he’ll try to spruce up the place a little bit to make her feel better. Whenever Luigi is sick, Daisy is about the same way; she’ll drop anything to help Luigi feel better, and that includes a lot of recipes from around Sarasaland that are supposedly really good for various sicknesses.

WHO GETS JEALOUS EASIEST: Neither lol they don’t really have eyes for anyone else. I headcanon that Luigi fell in love with Daisy practically at first sight soooooooo

WHO COLLECTS SOMETHING UNUSUAL: Probably Luigi…don’t know what he would collect, though. Maybe something having to do with all of his ghost adventures?

WHO IS THE TIDIEST AND ORGANIZED: Probably Daisy.

WHO GETS MOST EXCITED ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS: Oh boy, LUIGI. He’s so excited about Christmas. Right after Thanksgiving is when he starts planning decorations and which recipes to prepare when it comes around. Same goes with Thanksgiving food, and I could say the same thing for food for Halloween parties. Costumes, too. Again, like I mentioned with the previous ask about Mario and Peach, Mario and Luigi know how to put on a good party. (Again, there’s an entire spin-off in the Mario-verse that justifies this…)

WHO IS THE BIG SPOON/LITTLE SPOON: They switch lmao

WHO GETS MOST COMPETITIVE WHEN PLAYING GAMES AND/OR SPORTS: Hoo boy, totally Daisy…that’s not even a question my dude

WHO STARTS THE MOST ARGUMENTS: These dudes don’t fight; Luigi doesn’t want to start anything, and Daisy doesn’t want to set Luigi off. They’ll probably get super worried about each other, though, so they will have to talk some stuff through, but no actual fights…

WHAT ARE THEIR NICKNAMES FOR EACH OTHER: Apart from Mario and a few other close friends, Daisy is the only person Luigi is okay with calling him “Weegee”. With Daisy, Luigi sticks with the really cute Italian nicknames like “cara” or “fior” or “bella”. And even then, he blushes like crazy whenever he calls her either one of those things.

WHO SUGGESTS THAT THEY BUY A PET: Luigi already has Polterpup lol they don’t need to suggest anything

WHAT COUPLE TRADITIONS DO THEY HAVE: Well, since their relationship is fairly long-distance, so they try to Skype once or twice a month. But whenever they’re together in the same place, they always, ALWAYS try to go on a date.

WHAT TV SHOWS THEY WATCH TOGETHER: “Parks and Rec”, “Galavant”, “Brooklyn Nine Nine”, maybe “Glee”? And maybe some cartoons like “Steven Universe” or “Over the Garden Wall”.

ANOTHER COUPLE THEY HANG OUT WITH: Mario and Peach, definitely.

HOW THEY SPEND TIME TOGETHER AS A COUPLE: Well, they’re already super cute when they’re messaging each other long-distance, but when they’re in the same place, they’re pretty much almost always together, and their cuteness is only amplified when they’re with each other. Aside from that, they’ll do competitive stuff like sports together, but they’ll also do other cute stuff like dance together??? (Tango Tanglers, anyone?)

WHO MADE THE FIRST MOVE: If you’ve ever read my fic “See You Again”, you’ll notice that it’s actually Luigi! He’s kinda shy about it, but he manages to get a word in. See, what goes down is that he meets her just outside of Peach’s castle one day and after introducing themselves to each other they kinda just talk and end up walking through town until sunset. When they get back to Peach’s castle and Daisy is just about to walk back in, he asks her if he’ll ever see her again. (She says she hopes so.)

WHO BRINGS FLOWERS HOME: Both of them! Daisy has to have a natural green thumb, so she must be good with arranging flowers and taking care of them. Luigi brings them home because he knows Daisy will enjoy them. (He mostly brings back…well, daisies.)

WHO IS THE BEST COOK: Absolutely, positively Luigi. As I mentioned in the previous ask, Mario and Luigi are no fools when it comes to food because their parents taught them how to cook at an early age. With that much experience under their belts, they’ve learned to become really good cooks.

WHO SNORES: Luigi lol

FINALLY I’M FREE!!!!! Thanks for all your asks! I’m sorry that they all took forever to get answered but I had a lot of fun with them! :)

[its-love-u-asshole]

about me as a writer

I was tagged by @oiivkawa <3 Thanks so much, this was super fun!

Tagging: @emeraldwaves @ivyfics @calmgeyama @ohoholyshit @yatatsukki and?? anyone else who wants to I guess lol, I feel like most ppl I know how been tagged ^^ 

I’m putting my responses under the cut as well bc I know myself lmao, my responses can be long af ^^’’

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean? bleh I have two usernames, and both stories are embarrassing LOL I’ll go with my actual ao3 name though I guess?? When I was in middle (?) school I used to watch the anime HOTD, which is like...awful first off. It’s borderline hentai, shitty fanservice, the whole thing (don’t ask me why I watched it, bc who knows, the music was A+) but my favorite character’s name was Saya, and her servants would call her ladysaya, so that’s the explanation for that ha. I put the x in front because I used to be obsessed with x men and all the marvel/dc animated series, so it felt appropriate pft. Man, even talking about this brings back so many cringe worthy memories lmao forgive me. 

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (Bookmarks/ Subscriptions/ Hits/ Kudos) for Haikyuu!! it’s definitely Slipping Underneath, and for K Project it’s There You Are <3 

3. What is your AO3 profile icon and why did you choose it? It’s Semi! The reasoning for this is because I have 3 fav Haikyuu!! characters: Tsukishima, Oikawa, and Semi. So I just try to distribute my love evenly tbh lol. I have a Tsukki icon on here and discord, Semi for AO3, and Oikawa is on my phone case ^^ 

4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters? ahhh I have several but I’m not aware if many of them have tumblr?? A lot of people who comment on every chapter of my multichapters are very special to me, I love them all!

5. Is there a fanfic you keep going back to read again and again? Ah damn there are so many lmfao, I have a lot of fav fics and I don’t want to make this post super long. Please check out the rec posts I’ve done here and here ! Or also message me for specific types of fics <3 I will say though, one fic I always go back to read even though it’s been YEARS is a kyoukao fic by potionwine! 

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked? I consider myself pretty picky, but I do read a LOT of fic, so I have a decent amount of both ^^ About 187 bookmarks, and 16 fic/author subscriptions! 

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most? Probably college?? even though I know that’s super broad, and all kinds of different AUs can be based in college but that’s how it is lol. I think that’s because I honestly don’t like redoing AUs?? I like experimenting and making up really weird shit and original scenarios as much as possible. Though, I’m sure you can find apparent trends across all my fics ^^ 

8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? haha...I have 76 user subscriptions, 436 general fic subscriptions, and 792 bookmarks. I don’t even know how that’s real lmao I feel so blessed that so many people enjoy my writing <3 

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!) not really honestly, if I have an embarrassing or indulgent idea at this point, I just write it lmao idc but there are lots of types of fics I am scared to write just bc I don’t know if I could do them justice heh....

10. Is there anything you’d like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc. yes lmao updating better would be something I’d LOVE to improve on ; ; Also writing action scenes too fff fuck action scenes

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often? Uhhh I’ve dabbled in both but yeah, more often than not I stick to more popular pairs just because I need content to motivate me pftt

12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day? 50! 

13. How many stories do you have saved in/ with your writing program? Like WIPs? ffff WIPs...maybe like 4 or 5 at this point, including multichapters, and wow that’s actually not a lot, usually I have a ton and I’m drowning in them loool

14. Do you write down story ideas or just keep them in your head? Both...I usually just keep things in my head, but if a fic starts giving me issues, I like to plot it out

15. Have you ever co- authored a story? Nope, but I’d really love to at some point with a friend! 

16. How did you discover AO3? Uh I honestly don’t remember loool I think one day I sorta just saw that no one was using ff anymore and I was like ‘aight’ 

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3? Not really lmao, I mean...my siren au does pretty well, but otherwise my fics get kinda slept on -shrug- it is what it is 

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers? lol i do not

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write? Well I’ve always loved to write so no, but @brynne-lagaao is a big reason I started writing sarumi fics back when I was in K fandom! And nowadays in the hq fandom, a lot of amazing authors really push me to keep writing ^^ 

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author? don’t be afraid to write and write whatever you want basically lmao I know it can be daunting if you think your writing skills aren’t matching up with other authors, but the best thing you can do is practice, practice, and eventually you will see results! Also read a lot, reading other ppl’s stories really helps, and above all, just have fun with it! 

21. Do you plot out your stories or do you just figure it out as you go? I try to have a basic plot (beginning, middle, end) because I used to just DIVE IN to stories and it was awful lmao I need some sort of guideline, even if it’s small

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do? yes ofc, but I honestly try not to dwell on them because they’re not worth it. I either ignore or delete in most cases

23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (Action, smut, etc) action and smut are never easy for me lol

24. What story(s) are you working on now? well right now I’m working on two secret santa fics for iwaoi, as well as my two kurotsuki multichapters! I am also trying to write kacchako as a x-mas present for a friend lol

25. Do you plan your new projects before you finish your current ongoing story(s)? ha yeah, it’s a bad habit but I have no self-control

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself? I do not! I just try to write at least a little bit each day if I can, but there’s never a word minimum I try to reach ^^ 

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started? oh 100% lmao comparing some of my old fics from even a year ago to my fics now is eye opening 

28. What is your favourite story that you have written? Shaking in My Skull for sarumi, it’s also the longest fic I’ve ever written and it holds a special place in my heart ; ; For kurotsuki it’s gotta be Let My Love 

29. What is your least favourite story that you have written? fuck me, Pencils and Paper LOL it was an earlier sarumi fic of mine and I just...hate it. I’m not even gonna link it LOL 

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years? Still writing fanfic most likely, maybe some original stuff (I hope!)

31. What’s the easiest part about writing? lmao nothing, writing is super hard work, sometimes even just thinking up ideas can be difficult, then there’s actually writing and making the ideas come to life, and don’t get me started on editing lmaooo writers are my heroes 

32. What is the hardest part about writing? Finding the motivation, at least for me. I struggle sometimes with it because I’ll have the time and inspiration but depression just kicks my ass every time fff

33. Why do you write? For me it’s super therapeutic, I love the satisfaction of putting hard work into an idea you love and finishing it, and the high that comes with that. Plus sharing the story with others and getting positive feedback is a feeling that can’t be beat. I’ve always loved writing, I love how the possibilities are endless, and I hope I never stop <3

cafecliche (@cafecliche)

I love the way cafecliche writes Yuuri’s anxiety. I’m a fan of stories where he and Victor (and others) learn to navigate his anxiety. And cafecliche is also great at capturing the heartwarming, fluffy domesticity between the two. Both fic recommendations are snippets of adorable offscreen moments set during and after the series.

Rating: General Words: 3.6k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Fluff; Anxiety; Vignettes; Episode 5 to post-Season 1 ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: Victor lands in Japan on New Year's Eve. Travel time included, they've been apart for a week and a half. According to Twitter, their reunion is less 'darling, I missed you' and more 'darling, they told me you were killed in Normandy.' (Or: a travelogue of a competition season. Featuring: flight delays, detours, fumbling mutual support, and the Yuuri Katsuki Hotline.) ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: I have a hard time deciding which part is my favorite. The panic attack at the airport where Victor is Best Boyfriend Ever? The Katsuki Hotline where Victor feels validated? The desperate reunited hug? Every moment is lovely.

Of course he warned Victor it was coming. But he’s not sure he ever told him what to do. (Or: some days, it's all Yuuri can do to manage his own anxiety. He certainly doesn't expect Victor to do it for him.) ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: Small moments of Yuuri with anxiety, in which Victor is there and supportive even if he doesn’t know what to do.

caneeljoy (@youngwildmildlyinsane)

Holding the Spark

Rating: Teen Words: 83.7k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Magic AU; Elemental magic; Highschool AU-ish ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: There are two types of people in this world: the Earthens and the Magical. Those who carry the Spark are called "corrupt" or "diseased," and those of the Earth are unfailingly prejudiced against them. Yuuri Katsuki, raised by Earth parents in an Earthen community, is in for a rude awakening. ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: I really appreciate fantasy or magical AUs where the author puts in the time and effort to develop their universe, do the world-building, flesh out the rules, laws, political or social climates and how that affects the characters. I like the world that caneeljoy has created, a reality where many cultures have been forgotten (Yuuri and Victor learn that they are what was once considered Japanese and Russian and begin taking language and cultural classes to connect with their cultural history). I like the description and set-up of the school and how it has been adapted to accommodate the four elemental magics (think of this fic like Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, where Yuuri is introduced to a magical new world, except Hogwarts is The Flintstones to Apricus' The Jetsons). How much you enjoy this story might depend on how much you like YOI fanfics drifting away from the original material. Some AUs still stick pretty close to the original scenarios and plot; this fic builds a fantasy world from the ground up for the YOI characters to inhabit. Sometimes this results in more focus on the worldbuilding, but the story still takes care to develop the characters and their relationships with each other. If you want a story that is fun and light-hearted in an interesting world, then definitely check this fic out!

cityboys

lie to make me like you

Rating: Mature Words: 80.1k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Alternate careers AU; Actors and dancers ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: It's become a game, of sorts, to anyone privy to the fact that the pattern exists in the first place: ask Victor out at the beginning of the month, date for however many days, and wait for the end to come and for Victor to say, always: I couldn't fall in love with you. Let's break up. ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: Iyashikei ("healing" in Japanese) is a term used for anime and manga created with the specific purpose of having a healing or soothing effect on the audience. And, honestly, that is probably one of the best terms I can use to describe the mood evoked by this story. It reminds me a lot of the tranquility and melancholy I felt while watching Mushishi. cityboys has written other melancholic, soothing, lowkey stories, but this one is my favorite of theirs. They have a poetic writing style and they tend to express the character's thoughts and feelings in a less direct way, more showing instead of telling. This story is easy to get sucked into, trapped within the web of emotions. Victor and Yuuri come to love one another, but carefully dance around the issue, hesitant to take that final leap. It's a gorgeous get-together story that you should definitely check out.

22 questions now meme

I was tagged by two excellent folks for an 11 question ask meme. They both had different Qs and I’m having my normal nightly nervous streak, so here goes TWENTY-TWO ANSWERS

First off, @lunarymagic‘s questions:

1. Autumn or Spring?

I am DEFINITELY a Spring. It’s close to summer, which is the best time of year for me psychologically (sort of). Autumn is cold and I don’t like cold. It also is a super busy time at my job, so fuck that.

2. What sort of dreams do you typically have?

Boring dreams about doing regular tasks, OR dreams about living post-apocalypse, often with zombies. Literally only two flavors to my subconscious. 

3. Thirteen hungry dwarves have come uninvited to your house! Quick, what do you prepare for them?

This assumes I answer my door for anyone who isn’t carrying a package for me. 

4. Five songs or groups you’ve been into lately?

Depeche Mode. Stan Rogers. Um, that 80s retrowave stuff. Every single song that will be in Thor: Ragnarok. The Decemberists. 

5. Would you rather be saved by an Elven prince plagued by a terrible Oath or a Space Alien princess overcome by grief?

I’m gay and want to fuck aliens so the Space Alien princess sounds perfect. Hopefully she’ll cheer up after being subjected to my amazing sense of humor for weeks. 

6. This world is falling apart but a portal has opened up. Which fictional world would you like to live in for the rest of your life?

GOOD QUESTION. This is where my love of crapsack worlds comes to bite me. Star Trek, I guess? It’s boring to me but I’m anxious person who enjoys having rights, safety, and hates capitalism. 

7. The most hilarious mishap you’ve had or had witnessed?

So the wife and I were driving to work behind a guy in one of those little crotch-rocket motorcycles. We were at a stoplight on a city street in bumper to bumper, but this guy wanted to go FAST. He tried to weave around the car in front of him, except instead he so, so slowly hit the bumper, shattering the back light and spilling his motorcycle flat (couldn’t have been going more than ten miles per hour). We were right behind him so we saw him lying spreadeagled on the pavement, clearly too embarrassed to get up immediately. It was peak physical comedy because a) hilarious fall due to hubris b) no one was hurt. 

8. If you’re a fanfic writer: do you remember the first ever fic you ever wrote? Or if you write mainly original fic: first story? Artists: first art piece?  

The first ever fic I wrote is still up on AO3 and is the oldest thing up there. It’s not great. My first original fic was some absolutely terrible thing I wrote with a friend when I was 12 or so and thankfully there is no evidence it ever existed. 

9. What book or show or movie or game was dearest to your heart as a child?

The Lord of the Rings. I was... a huge Tolkien nerd, then and now. Thankfully my attitudes about women have changed a thousand fold since I was 8, but I do still love LOTR. 

10. Any book/movie/show/game rec for your followers?

DISHONORED PLAY DISHONORED BUT HONESTLY SKIP TO DISHONORED 2 BECAUSE THE PLOT MAKES SENSE WITHOUT THE FIRST GAME AND THERE’S FULL INCLUSION OF WOMEN AND POC AND EVEN A SMIDGE OF BI REP PLEASE O B S E S S OVER THESE GAMES WITH ME

And while you’re at it, read the Gentlemen Bastard sequence. THIEVERY!! LOYALTY KINK!!! 

/flings pseudo-Italian steampunk over everyone

11. Is the absence of evidence an evidence of absence?

Clever! But no, because absence is evidenced by being an able to document an absence where other things *should* be. Absence of evidence just means you don’t have dick. 

And now for @edgeoflight‘s Qs!

1. What place would you visit if money and time were no object?

Taiwan because I want to eat all the food and visit all the museums and enjoy the weather. However, if we want to take time more figuratively, I would go back in time to observe the first groups of humans, so I could slap evolutionary psych up the face with their bullshit he-man theories of innate savagery. 

2. What book have you read that influenced you the most?

I have to pull out LOTR again, just because it gave me such a lasting love of worlds in decline and the medieval setting in general. Asimov’s novels also predisposed me towards seeing robots as helpful and good and think that humans are going to get out ok, and technology isn’t something to be afraid of.

Thankfully, when I got to college, I finally started reading some women and getting over my internalized misogyny. I’d say that James Tiptree Jr./Alice Sheldon’s stories will always be the gold standard of what I want my writing to be - painful, insightful, and beautifully written. 

3. Tell me about a time when deciding something differently would’ve changed your whole life.

If I’d never played FFXII (an MMORPG) when I was still in high school, I would have never met my ex and endured years of hell that I was too depressed and abused by my family to escape from. :( 

4. What do you see as being the next big revolutionary technological innovation?

Search and YouTube algorithms which don’t allow neo-N*zis to recruit.

5. If you reached out with your left hand, what would you touch?

My wife’s butt!!

6. Which is the most important: truth, beauty, freedom, or love?

Love, because people lacking in the first 3 can sometimes still be decent people. If you pick someone with just one of the any other qualities though, y i k e. 

I also don’t give a fuck about truth if it’s not compassionate.  

7. What’s your relationship with your parents like?

My father’s dead and my mother is evil. I’m actually on better terms with her now that I’ve been living away from her for 12 years so I could a) understand that she gaslit, verbally abused, and emotionally abused me for 18 years, and b) be distant enough that I could pity her for still being stuck with my also evil, also abusive siblings. I’m sorry that my answers to these Qs are all coming out so dark!! Anyway, you can see that all my immediate family has suffered abuse from their parents, my mother included. I wonder how far back the family tree the abuse goes. 

8. If I gave you a million in your own currency but told you that you couldn’t spend it on yourself – you had to give it away – what would you do with it? You can divide it up as much as you like, but you can’t keep any of it.

Start a small LGBTQ+ youth shelter and school. 

9. Do you believe that patriotism is a good thing or a bad thing?

It’s always bad. 

10. How would you define romance?

Hmmm tricky question. I think that romance is culturally defined, but I personally see it as something where people love each in a way that spurs them to positive actions. 

11. Imagine you are very old and dying. What do you think you will regret, if anything?

Honestly, everything up until I was 26. And also the job I’ve held from 27-??. I regret living where I am for more than a year. YIKES SO MUCH REGRET 

[sharkfish]

Ugh, stop tempting me with all your Sterek posts! I don't have time to watch a new show! Do you think I really need to watch in order to read some fic about them? Or can I just skim wiki about the show haha

oh you absolutely do not have to watch the show and in fact i would recommend you do not. i started reading fics kind of randomly a couple weeks ago and had never seen the show – i wasn’t going to bother but it’s streaming free on amazon prime so i watched a few episodes just trying to get an idea of like… their voices and mannerisms? anyway it’s real bad. like, i talk shit on supernatural for not being a good show, but teen wolf is… in another category of not-good tv. and even the fandom seems overall pretty miserable about everything that happened past s3 or so (multiple people have told me specifically to stop watching past s3 if i make it that far) (spoiler: i won’t). watching the main character (scott mccall played by tyler posey) is real painful. i’m cringing thinking about it. 

TEEN WOLF SPOILERS FOLLOW FOR ALL SEASONS PROBABLY

the main thing you’ll probably want to know about teen wolf is re: werewolf lore [link to teen wolf wiki]. even a lot of tw au fics feature werewolves, which i expected to really hate but i am actually pretty into. i’m still relatively confused about what exactly it means to be an alpha, beta, or omega werewolf in tw-land (no relation to a/b/o in an spn fandom-style omegaverse, though those exist too!!!), but as long as you realize it’s unrelated to a/b/o stuff you can generally figure out what it means in the context of whichever fic you are reading. 

otherwise, here’s what you need to know: setting: beacon hills, california (fictional but probably somewhere in nocal). scott mccall got bit by a rogue alpha werewolf, turning him into a werewolf. he is not relevant, but he does accidentally fall in love with a girl (allison argent) from a family of werewolf hunters. his best friend is stiles stilinski (played by dylan o’brien, who you may know from the maze runner), the boy with a polish name so unpronounceable it isn’t even actually said in canon until later in the series (it’s Mieczyslaw, though many older fics use various difficult-for-americans polish names). stiles talks too much and is super bi. they meet derek hale, who is a hottie werewolf. (derek is played by tyler hoechlin, who is currently running around with this beard that is really upsetting to me because i am not generally into beards but i’m actually really into his beard, ugh, god dammit.) he is very broody and really just gives off some alarming edward cullen vibes in his first appearances in the show. very grumpy and mysterious and quiet and shirtless a lot. there’s a scene where he pushes stiles into a wall that is one of the gayer things i’ve ever seen since the last time dean and cas were on screen together. (seriously – there’s a similar scene between scott and stiles a couple episodes prior that is extremely non-gay, and then stiles and derek start staring at each other’s lips and fixing each other’s jackets and shit, WHOA.) 

stiles is in love with lydia martin, who is a super popular pretty redheaded girl who is dating jackson. stiles’s mom died when he was younger (cancer i think but i am not sure) and his dad is the sheriff. 

derek fell in love with kate argent when he was 16-18 (canon never specifies derek’s age and there is confusing info specifically in response to his age during the kate thing) (are we never told his age bc he and stiles’s antics are a little gay and stiles is only 16 at the beginning of the show? idk), not knowing she was a hunter. she used his love for her to trick him and ended up murdering his entire family (mom: talia; dad: idk his name; sisters: laura and cora [one of them may have survived the fire but died later? i am confused about this] [and then i guess cora wasn’t really dead at all?? that all happens later in canon and doesn’t come up in fics very often]) in a house fire. also i’m pretty sure derek killed this other girl he loved when he was younger (paige) – i’m not sure of the details but he’s real fucked up and guilty about it even though it is generally presented like he does not deserve that guilt. 

other notable characters: erica, isaac, and boyd are members of derek’s pack. sometimes in fic isaac is in a poly thing with scott and allison which is p cool! erica and boyd are usually together. ummm there’s also a chick named kira who is a kitsune (i have no idea what that actually means in the tw verse) and might hook up with scott in later seasons. chris argent is allison’s hunter dad but some fics portray him as an ok dude. peter hale is derek’s uncle and is a creepy dick. 

fics!!! k i have read a LOT of sterek fics (like.. hundreds…..) in the last couple of weeks but here are the 3 that have made it on my bookmarks list so far: 

Love Runs Wild by DevilDoll derek and stiles are porn stars who do like softcore werewolf-human porn for a magazine called neckz ‘n throats. stiles shows up to a shoot with a hickey on his neck and this is Bad News cuz werewolves have this whole thing about marking (!!!) and derek is like really upset but trying to pretend it’s fine and he’s not all in love with stiles. this is probably a good intro to general ideas the tw fandom has about werewolf mating rituals. also it’s just in general A+ smutty good times.

Sell Your Body to the Night by Dira Sudis (dsudis) this one is about 16 year old sex worker stiles, hired by rich werewolf derek. so… like… warnings for all the consent implications re: being a 16 year old sex worker, and generally i stray away from underage stuff even if both characters are the same age, but this is a really beautiful sweet love story, and i can’t believe i’m describing something that is tagged with watersports as a “beautiful sweet love story,” but it really is. (i am not into watersports lmao but am glad i read this anyway. it’s one scene at the beginning of ch9 that can be skipped but tbh unless you are super squicked, i would suggest reading it bc the scene manages to come across really intense and intimate and all around great despite, you know, someone getting peed on.) 

Cornerstone by Vendelin derek is a marine vet and stiles is blind. derek makes a dick out of himself and stiles kind of forcibly befriends him anyway and it’s sweet and fluffy and all-around wonderful as fuck. this was the first sterek fic i ever loved and i hope i don’t forget that feeling (i was just lamenting last night that i have zero memory of when i went from someone who was real scared of the spn fandom in general bc wincest was the only ship anyone ever talked about to dedicating 90% of my available brainpower to destiel – how did i even hear about it?? when did i start reading fics??? what kind of fics did i read??? how did i feel about them??? i have no idea!!!). 

also i went through most of @bleep0bleep‘s fic rec list [link] and enjoyed the vast majority of them so i would definitely suggest checking that out for some good fics!!! (i read a bunch of bleep0bleep’s fics, too, and they are also great [link to their ao3]) 

keep me updated!! send me the good fic links!!!! 

ps i am vaguely working on my first sterek fic. destiel is the first fandom i’ve ever completed fics for (i do have one (1) unfinished merlin fic that predates any of my spn writing, but that’s it) and the only thing i’ve written in years so it’s super weird/fun to play in another sandbox! 

[franeridart]

So Bakugou and Todoroki's hero names didn't get decided early on I think because they're each gonna get their own little mini arcs that get em to decide them, but I kinda wanted to know your opinion on what they might end up being? 'Course they'll probably be derived from future plot that we don't know right now, but I wanted to ask anyway!

!!!! I’ve never really thought about Todoroki’s, tbh? So I have no clue, honest, but as far as Bakugou goes I’ll keep on holding onto Ground Zero until Horikoshi officially and unequivocally tells me he 100% definitely scrapped it, my friend - it’s such a cool name??? I read it and I nearly cried when I realized that probably it’s not gonna be his actual hero name rip

Anon said:You need to draw Bok.uro more (i love them so much,(you to of course)

I’m sure you didn’t mean anything bad by this ask anon, but as I’ve said more than once I really, really don’t like the word need. I don’t need to do anything, no one’s paying me for this. When I’ll want to draw more bokro it’ll for sure happen, so don’t worry about that~

Anon said:Would you read Bobata x Terushima fanfics? Do you know any??

I would! But last time I checked there were none *sob* do you know any? °u° if you do I’m all ears!!

Anon said:asdfghjklajhsns mirit.ama is adorable thEY’RE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS AHHHH i love them a lot,,,

I K R they’re so soft and pure!!!! Such a good couple I love them so much !!!!!

Anon said:Since most of what you post is such simple arts, I find myself forgetting a lot that your a really skilled artist, and I sort of get this shock like ‘what the fuck Frans amazing’. I really got that when you posted that drawing with Monoma getting scared by kuroiro, the one you posted a while ago with witch Kaminari, and the recent tododeku fight one.

I’m ???? dying ???? This ask slayed me??? Oh my god thank you so much I’m not sure I deserve such praises yet but!!!!! BOI this just made my whole week!!! Thank you!!!!!

Anon said:idk how you feel about bakus.hin but pls read coffee can and energy drinks bc it’s super cute and convinced me to ship it also the characters are on point 👌

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh … sorry anon but I don’t ship Bakugou with anyone that doesn’t like him, and the one time Shinsou interacted with him he really didn’t seem to like him…….. #rip maybe one day I’ll try the fic, tho! Thank you for the rec!!!

 Anon said:I just wanted to say because of your wonderful art you have converted me to watching boku no hero academia!!!! (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you’ll like it, then!!!!!! *O*

Anon said:I definitely smile when reading Teacher Bakugou comic Fran XD i just like it very much like the kids went to being scared and go to adored him and i just like that the kids will defend him from others and the way he just casually broke the window just to get to class in time :) There this hc i read can’t remember where but it said that Bakugo will adress his student by insult like fuckmunch (?) and will change it everyday and like the kids will just remember it (sorry for the bad english)

Anon said:I’m dying because of Bakugou-sensei AU?????? IT’S SO AMAZING!!!! You always kill me with your AUs, so unfair hahahah I’m in love with the idea of Bakugou being a beloved teacher because I think he already suffers too much on the canon series (seriously, he needs a break and a hug ffs). Anyways, I just love it really much 💜💜💜💜💜

I’M SO SO HAPPY YOU BOTH LIKED IT OMG!!!!!!!!!!! *O* I know it’s a pretty unlikely possibility but he’s the only one in canon who actually took on the role of teacher at some point? And Kirishima did pass his exams so he can’t be too bad at it either!! The possibility of him actually enjoying it makes me so happy hahaha

Anon said:Your little note about “Maybe it’ll make you smile” under the teacher Baku is- I’m- I’m going through a bad depressive episode and it really did make me smile so thanks

*holds you* I’m glad I could make you smile at least for a bit, then! And I’m so so sorry you’re not feeling alright, right now ;-; I hope today’ll be a better day, for you

Anon said:ILOVEYOU

ILOVEYOUTOO!!!!!!

Anon said:Fraaan another AWESOME comic !!! Another baby doodle !!! just !!! my heart !!! can’ t take it !!! aaaaaah !!! they’re soo cute. Ashido just eating Bakugo hair and he just let her and Kirishima call him Bakuo and Jirou saying Bakusquad will cry if got taken from Bakugo and she just nonchalantly tell Bakugou he that he cares about them Aaaaaah !!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡ By the way is the Bandage (?) that Bakugo has because of the squad and do they remember Bakugo ?

Thank you for liking it!!!! Oh my gods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn’t a bandage tho, just baby Sero messin around! And yeah, they do remember him! They’re just deaged, time didn’t literally turn back for them - only being babies their thought process is way simpler so the most they know is that that’s Bakugou and he’s good and safe and they like him. That’s about it, nothing more complex than that haha

Anon said:u are like, 80% the reason why i started watchin bnha. i thought my fav would be someone from the bakusquad (kirishima maybe) because of ur art but somehow monoma is my fav, the jerk. i love him. why am i cursed to like side characters with barely any content.

Monoma’s great tho!!!! I mean. He’s an asshole. And a total disaster. And his inferiority complex is a seriously huge thing. But he’s great!!!!!!!!!! That’s an amazing pick as a fave character t b h I think we’re getting more of him (together with the whole 1B class) in the manga soon, so don’t despair too much about the lack of content just yet haha

Anon said:THE LITTLE SERO TAPES ON BAKU’S ARM I’M WEEEEEAAAAK

Anon said:Baby Sero putting tape all over Bakugo ’s arm made my study-full day a lot better, thank you Fran.

I’m!!!!!!!! Actually surprised by how many people liked Sero most out of the whole drawing??? But I’m GLAD he’s amazing please love my son as much as I do (or more) (if you can manage that) (the more love he gets the better)

Anon said:Is it in canon that Kirishima has terrible handwriting because I think it should be

I don’t know if this is terrible or not because I actually can’t tell good handwriting from bad in Japanese, but this is Kirishima’s canon handwriting!!

Terrible or not it’s definitely a sharp, STRONG handwriting, which is all that matters as far as Kirishima is concerned!! 💪💪💪💪 haha

Anon said:that bakukirikami art with the AU killed me

PLEASE DON’T DIE ON ME ANON !!!!!

Anon said:YES my emotions are from tododekus I’m just😭😭😭 I love Shouto so much!!!! I didn’t realize how much until just now tho??? Like how dare that episode honestly

!!!!!!!!!! he’s a super great character and honestly I like him way better after the sports fest is over and done with, he’s such a chill nice silly guy bless him and bless Deku for making his actual personality come out *deep sigh*

CS AU, set in 1815.

Lord Killian Jones is haunted by the demons of his past which makes him nowhere near the man he once was, so he can't be the father he wants to be. And above all, he believes he is undeserving of love. Perhaps with Emma that is all about to change. But falling in love is never easy, that's just how it is.
