Summary: “Well,” she says, long and drawn out, and from the glint in her eyes he can tell this is some kind of inner joke, kept from him. “I’ve been a diplomat, and a race car driver, and a chef, and an astronaut, and a veterinarian--” “An astronaut,” he repeats dryly. He wants to call her on her lie - but. But. How strange. There’s no indication of a lie: no rise in temperature, no quickening of her pulse, no change to her eyes, nothing. She laughs. “You don’t know the half of it."

Note from submitter: The crack written seriously fanfic of all time. It is honestly so good and I learned of its existence after stumbling across a comment on YouTube recommending it. I must second that recommendation

This is, Lin Qiushi thinks, squirming in place, a terrible idea. It was bad enough Ruan Nanzhu had insisted on him wearing drag again. It was bad enough that Lin Qiushi already found it hard to say no to him on a normal day, much less when he was grinning so widely in a way that made Lin Qiushi’s heart flop mysteriously in his chest. It was bad enough that Lin Qiushi hadn’t protested anywhere near as much as he should, having mixed yet positive feelings about the last time it’d happened, which in turn only encouraged Nanzhu. And yet.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love ❤

ahhhh thank you <3 <3 <3

okay, this is a hard one. let's see!

(all these fics are written under @howlingmoonrise)

cinq d'epées (the princess and the frog, charlotte la bouff/dr facilier)

in which charlotte needs to turn to the shadowman to save big daddy, and then finds herself coming back. again and again and again.

honestly this one is like. a HUGE underdog, and yet possibly my fave. people always go for the barbie/dracula due to powerhouse popularity and sleep on this one. the first couple scenes or so are a bit awkward but then it really hits its stride.

--

2. a spun sugar night's dream (the nutcracker & the mouse king, nutcracker/marie stahlbaum)

Sometimes, her prince is too perfect. Godfather Drosselmeier's single dark eye is not unlike those of his nephew. But in the right light, in the right mood, her beloved’s could have been perfect black circles painted over wood, glossed over in a steady toymaker’s hand.

*throws vibes around like glitter* a fest of candy-related words with an undertone of fae creepiness, just the way i like it. post-fairytale exploration my beloved.

--

3. beloved, beloved (hold on to the world) (petshop of horrors, leon orcot/count d)

D's kind is not easy to hold on to.

*banging pots and pans* tam lin au!!! tam lin au!!! also an underappreciated fic, even in the midst of all my petshop of horrors works. it reads very poetically and, well. it is a tam lin au. it was bound to be a winner.

--

this is where is starts getting hard. i'm VERY picky and i turn my nose at most of my own writing, especially older stuff, so these last two are less faves in terms of enjoying them as a written piece and more "i had a lot of fun writing them way back when" sort of self-recs.

4. In the Woods Somewhere (ever after high, daring charming/cerise hood)

AU where Milton Grimm discovered Red and Badwolf's affair and went to great lengths to silence it. Years later, Daring Charming finds a girl in the woods. Or, Daring Charming accidentally becomes the next Red Riding Hood.

basically a role reversal, but if their initial roles were more or less the same? i wrote the first 12k of it non-stop in a fugue state after watching thronecoming, that's how many brainworms it gave me. i feel like the writing is a bit dated (this is from... 2016? oh wow) but i'm still pretty proud of the work i did regarding daring's characterization here!

--

5. hearteater (howl's moving castle, howl jenkins/sophie hatter)

It was a joke, at first. A quip thrown this way and that when they call him a rake, a rogue, a ravisher. You just go around stealing hearts, they say, sometimes accusing, sometimes sad, and he can’t stomach any sort of seriousness so he replies with a winking and I eat them, too. But this is the land of Ingary, where things such as giants and fire demons and seven-league boots exist. And so, it becomes true.

in which the whole heart-eating thing becomes a loooooot more literal. written originally as a gift for sandmancircus, my beloved

thank you so much for the ask!!!

Two Barbie Fanfic Recs

In anticipation of the new Barbie film, here are two fics I highly enjoyed. I can't wait to see the film tomorrow! I am beyond excited.

“Well,” she says, long and drawn out, and from the glint in her eyes he can tell this is some kind of inner joke, kept from him. “I’ve been a diplomat, and a race car driver, and a chef, and an astronaut, and a veterinarian--” “An astronaut,” he repeats dryly. He wants to call her on her lie - but. But. How strange. There’s no indication of a lie: no rise in temperature, no quickening of her pulse, no change to her eyes, nothing. She laughs. “You don’t know the half of it."

July 1, 2016: True Love’s Kiss, or So I’ve Been Toad

from artist Howlingmoonrise [ tumblr ] with author Sandmancircus [ ao3 / ffn ]

Urban fantasy AU. After buying the wrong potion from a seller named Blair that might have been feline a little too mischievous, Eruka finds herself being ribbeting in all the wrong ways - which is to say, she turned into a frog. Permanently. Probably. When the only cure seems to be true love's kiss, she reluctantly recruits her big, bad, smells-like-a-dog-in-the-sun friend who has a howling curse of his own.

Tagging Game

I was tagged by @noblefloweroll (thanks frend!)

Fictional characters you relate most to?  Uhh.... that’s a great question! I love Artemis Fowl (titular character of the self same series) and Suga from Haikyuu!! (he’s sweet but a troll, need I say more?), but I have it from a reliable source I’m more like Hermione Granger but less confident. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Book you can read over and over without getting tired of it?
  Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen or Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.

What’s your favorite comfort show/movie?
 Full Metal Alchemist. Avatar the Last Airbender. Assassination Classroom.

Which fictional character are you most defensive over? HAWKEYE. BOTH OF THEM. FIGHT ME.

Show you’re most excited for?
 Code Geass R3. The next season of Haikyuu!! The Yuri!!! on Ice movie. The next K project installment.

What’s your aesthetic?
 That’s actually hard. What is an “aesthetic” anyways? Why are you doing this to me?

- the crispness of fall

- coffee nursed

- cats

- a new exciting thing to learn about

- the smell of new books, spines uncracked

- snuggling with someone I love

- organized chaos

- fomenting rebellion

- the smell of paints and colored pencils across the nice heavy drawing paper

- the scritch of charcoal pastels, the muted blend of colors on paper and skin

- cooking

- water over dirt

- curling up to watch a movie or an anime with family

- the whir of a pcr machine, or a centrifuge

- the feel of liquid nitrogen bubbling, and the rattle of a mortar and pestle

- the zing of mutagens in sunlight

Author: @howlingmoonrise

Note from submitter: Love love loveeeeee<3 this fic is what made me like daring/cerise. The way it takes one relatively small divergence and branches out from there… insane. So good. Also very poetic at times. THE THING WITH HIS CROWN AND THE CLOAK??? THE WAY HE FUFILLS THE TALE WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING IT??? HER TAKING THE OTHER SIDE OF HER DESTINY??? HER GENERALLY BEING SICK AS HELL??? THE OPEN ENDING????? I think about this fic so goddamn much. I love ever after high fics that run wild with destiny like this.

[howlingmoonrise]

OtaYuri fic recs #6

Bless all the talented authors in this fandom! (･ω･)b

The Birth of Comets Takes Place on the Tip of Your Lashes by apollothyme, teen, 15.6k

His second visit to an ophthalmologist occurs five months later.

Just like during his first consultation, he doesn’t understand any of the medical jargon coming from the doctor’s mouth. Only now, after he’s done explaining everything in complicated, convulsed words, the man turns to Yuri with a smile on his face and explains everything once more, this time using terms Yuri can understand.

Yuri listens. He bites down on his bottom lip and he does not cry.

A Stiller Doom by Tessa on Ice (tessacrowley), explicit, A/B/O AU, 9k, WIP

“It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. Millions are condemned to a stiller doom than mine, and millions are in silent revolt against their lot. Nobody knows how many rebellions … ferment in the masses of life which people earth.”

Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Story of Another Us by inkandwords, explicit, 12k

An unexpected step further into his relationship with Otabek has Yuri questioning how far he’s willing to go for something that will change everything.

A Beginner’s Guide To The Dangers Of Making Out With Your Fellow Athletes At Parties by ineptshieldmaid, teen, 10.2k

None of this has anything to do with Otabek, except that Yuri didn’t get Otabek’s number, and so he can’t bitch to him about the whole situation. He makes do with bitching to Mila, who at least agrees that Viktor is impossible to deal with right now.

Otabek keeps liking Yuri’s selfies, but that’s it, that’s the complete and total sum of his communication with Yuri for an entire two weeks. Yuri is not mad about it because there’s nothing to be mad about. They are friends and this, it turns out, is what friends do. Like each other’s selfies and make out at international sporting events. He’s pretty sure Mila’s got at least three friends that fit exactly those parameters.

Burn by pirozhki-prince, explicit, 1.6k

He’s been fidgety all day. His skin feels tight and itchy. It’s the weekend, the only time they really get to spend together besides the few hours in the evening when they are both exhausted from training.

All he really wants is Otabek.

It’s been three days and Yuri aches inside.

Gold Medal by howlingmoonrise (TheDarkStoryteller), explicit, 4.5k

Rivals AU where Otabek and Yuri try to out-petty each other and it might or might not end up escalating to an entirely different level. Alternatively: if Otabek can’t be Yuri’s friend, he’s fine with literally anything else.

Thanks for sharing (Oh, Fuck, Yeah) by neuroglam, explicit, 1.7k

Otabek loves Yuri and Yuri loves him too! Just… not enough to stop getting fucked by other dudes and sending Otabek pictures. Beka jerks off to them.

Reluctant Company 2

Author: Sandmancircus Pairing: Free/Eruka Warnings: language, violence, sexual content

Summary: After the events of Reluctant Company, Eruka is stuck with a clingy werewolf who is not particularly keen on the subject of witches and magic in general. He also has a secret, and he’s rather afraid Eruka’s going to find out about the snake hissing louder and louder in his ear each day. As their days together progress, Free is having great trouble keeping his employer and Eruka separate. (Or, Free and Eruka go on a road trip part 2 and hijinks, angst, fluff, and maybe smooches happens)
