instead of bitching why don’t we all just be thankful ao3 doesn’t have ads xxx

[that-willowtree]

just started Good Omens and I’m so fucking pissed. Like yes it’s a fucking masterpiece yes I’m in love with it yes it’s definitely going to become my new hyper fixation but I know it’s going to betray me in the end. There’s no way I’m leaving this show unscathed.

Colin (angry and talking out of his ass) : You entrapped me and we shouldn't be married

Penelope: Alright (offers annulment)

Colin: Wait- not like that

Valentine's gift for @amalia-uwu ♡ Enjoy!

A short ficlet (350 words) under the cut. SFW, but a bit suggestive because I just can't behave.

You wake up to the rustle of the bedsheets.

The cold, spring air somehow sneaked into your bedroom and filled your lungs.

Who has left the window open again?

Not you, that's for sure.

Frowning in discomfort, you curl up and realise that bony hands are wrapping a blanket around you. The phalanges click softly against each other as Sans pulls the blanket all the way up to your nose. Immediately you grab it with cold hands and hide your face in it.

"good morning, starlight…"

His deep voice, still groggy from sleep, encourages you to finally open your eyes. Sans lies back down with a sigh. You look at the beautiful crescents of his closed eyelids and watch his smile widen as you answer his greeting.

Even though you are freezing, you take your hand out of the blanket cocoon and reach to caress his round face.

How are his cheeks so soft?

"heh, i thought i was in trouble, but i see you coldn’t care less."

You sigh at the terrible pun and remind him that he's the one who is going to help you around if you catch a flu.

He chuckles in that special way which makes you roll your eyes and close them, because you know what's coming.

You feel him lean closer to you. Warm breath on your face. Sharp nasal ridge poking your nose.

"i could tell you a joke about the flu… but you are not going to get it.

Despite your sincere efforts, you snort with laughter, less because of what he said but more because of how he said it. So happy and giggly. Ridiculously adorable.

Groaning with fake annoyance, you lift your blanket and pull him flush against you, enveloping you both with the fluffy fabric. You keep your embrace tight as he playfully tries to wriggle out of it.

He stops the moment you kiss his forehead and murmur something in a quiet voice. He listens. With your hand on his back you feel his ribcage expanding as he inhales deeply. Magic warms up his bones.

from my October readings, I’ve collected a few more merlin fic recs for the people…

For favorite long (80k+) fic, I would have to pick another fic by horsecrazy, this time All Things Loved and Lovesick. It’s 90k and GODD these idiots I love them so bad. They’re just trying to take care of farm animals, elbow deep helping animals give birth at 3 AM all the while desperately wanting each other. I screamed a bit when they finally kissed I won’t lie.

For favorite mid length (30k-80k) fic, there were a LOT of contenders (most of my extra recs could’ve fit here) but I would have to pick From Where You Stand by fifty_fifty. The concept there was one I haven’t seen a whole lot (body swapping their way into a magic reveal) which surprises me cause that sounds so merlin-esque??? really loved the chaos brought on by that

For favorite short fic (<30k), I would have to choose Into Perdition by athousandvictories. If there’s one thing I’m a sucker for it’s religious guilt themes, and if there’s a snarky merlin in there too even better. the tension and resolution in this is just Delicious and Merlin is so bold I’m living for it.

And here’s a few more rapid fire October reads that I enjoyed!

An Illusion of Sorts by lordvoldemortsnipple. looove the magician x magic crossover

Chrysalis by i_canz_kill_dragon, a very well done coming of age/personal acceptance story

Tales of Magic by amithia. The coffee shop subtle magic OOO i eat it up, i love the take on Merlin’s magic being just this little instinct.

Awake by corilannam and phoenixacid- this is definitely a great and unique arthur returns scenario, with all the questions and mystery and love involved

Arthur Pendragon VS the World by Ally_Oop. more modern than the last but yet another unique take on Arthur returning, very well done and makes you wonder what the hell is happening

Swans Lost in the Stream of Time by DracoWillHearAboutThis. reincarnation memory returning goodness

I didn’t reread anything in October which is crazy because it’s the first month since May of this year that I haven’t! instead, I will recommend one of my most reread merlin fics: Rule Number Four of which the account has been orphaned. I love the silliness and tension and multi identity aspect of it, just such a good work all around for whenever you want a goofy, modern, powerful merthur duo.

That’s all for October, I’ll be back in a few weeks for my November recs and then soon after that I’ll be doing my 💫yearly merlin fic reading💫 stats (of which are very very unhinged). 2024 has been diabolicalamazing for my merlin readings and can’t wait to share 😁

~ and check out my September recs here ~

the light between the lines

(oscar piastri/lando norris, mature, 10.8k)

Oscar Piastri. Age 21. A little old, to be getting shipped in. Old to be getting shipped out, honestly, this year. Lando pulls the file out of the stack, taking careful note of where it belongs. Whipped through training under Alonso, moving up through classes as fast as regulation allowed. Developed early. Telepathy, too. Lando winces. That’s a tough one, reading minds at sixteen. Promoted to full time field work at nineteen. Fucking odd that he’s been sent here, then.

[that-girl-glader]

I'm not normal anymore (I never was to begin with). I NEED WORLD AIN'T READY INJECTED INTO MY BLOOD. I NEED EVERY FOOD EVER MENTIONED IN THE FIC IN MY DIET. I NEED A MOVIE, A SERIES, A WEBTOON, A NOVEL, EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. HECK I NEED A SONG. I NEED HAMBURGERS AND HOLD THE CANTALOUPE AS BANDS. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE POD WHILST READING THE FIC AND WATCHING THE MOVIE AND READING THE COMIC AND BOOK AT THE SAME TIME. I'M NOT OKAY. I NEED WORLD AIN'T READY AS MUCH AS ENJOLRAS/GRANTAIRE NEEDED ENJOLRAS/GRANTAIRE FUCK. I'M SO...IT FEELS LIKE A PART OF MY SOUL NOW GOSH. (been registering to my fav parts and I was like damn I need to know what happens then BOOM there's a fic and I found it and now I'm insane because fuck. Was I even alive before I read it? And it means so much to me I'm CONVINCED I've lived that life. Grantaire is me in another universe actually. Gosh, I'm just so tied/bound to this masterpiece(s)😭)
