Gray's SuperBat Fic Recs

I have spent since May reading through the SuperBat tag on AO3 and have over 100 fics saved in my bookmarks but @thebibliosphere mentioned wanting some recs so I'm going to just rec a few that live in my head rent free.

(these are in no particular preference order other than they're probably in this order in my bookmarks XD) (also if you're an author and I have tagged the wrong blog let me know and I will change it)

An Innocent Cicisbeo by @mithen - This is the most recent one I've bookmarked, so it's very much so on my mind. I'm not usually one for Regency AUs but I really like how this one handled keeping everyone's powers and abilities but making them more tailored to the age. Also it's an arranged marriage AU and I am very weak for those.

Take Care of Business by @frownyalfred - A work teleconference that descends into absolute chaos in the form of the batkids, who woke up and chose violence. This one is good on it's own but there's also a podfic version by @mayonnaisetoffees that kicks that chaos up to 11.

Through a Glass Darkly by @susiecarter - An apocalypse AU of the snyderverse, this one is quite dark but slowly grows more positive over time. It features some extremely spot-on characterizations and an overall Mad Max vibe that I enjoy immensely.

This Time Around by @castlesteads - What's better than one formerly dead person trying to find their place in the world? TWO formerly dead people trying to find their place in the world. Clark helps Jason claw his way out of his grave and back to the land of the living. I love a found family where they quite literally find each other in the most heartbreaking ways possible.

Build Me A Place (we'll call it home) by @spiritsflame - I love it when Kryptonians are completely normal until they really aren't. This one features Clark completely remodeling his apartment because of courtship instincts and Bruce badly fumbling the entire situation. I just want to shake both of them.

don't know the rules but i got to win by @susiecarter - This is another weird Kryptonian trait thing... but this time it is non-standard abstract reproduction feat. gardening. Surprisingly enough this isn't even the first fandom I have come across with gardening as a reproductive vector. Always a different take though. This one features literal fruit-based flirting and innuendo, for a start.

A Common Misconception by rotasha - I have a very special place in my heart for fake dating aus, but this one is like watching two guys play an extremely slow and obvious game of chicken while not even realizing they're in a game at all. Fake dating for a whole year without catching feelings? Psh, easy. Spoiler alert, I don't entirely remember right now but I don't think they even make it a year XD

over this threshold by orphean - Another fake dating au but an entirely different vibe. Getting married for tax reasons is the oldest trick in the book but I am always here for falling in love when you're already planning on getting married. Also for someone so very smart Bruce can be extremely dumb and I love that for him.

Masking by @bombusbombus - I've read this fic like... probably more than 5 times and I am working (slowly) on a podfic of it. It heavily features both Clark and Bruce being neurodivergent together and falling in love via spending long hours in parallel play and infodumping and mutual unmasking both literal and figurative and just... I see a lot of myself in this fic.

There's a ton more I could rec, they're all in my bookmarks on AO3 but these are the ones that live in my brain the most these days. I hope others like them as much as I do.

[pynchfic]

Hi ! I wanted to ask because i couldn’t seem to find a lot on ao3, but do you have any favourite harry potter au fics?

Hi! I don’t have any particular favorites, as I don’t read a lot of Harry Potter/Hogwarts aus! However, here are some pretty impressive ones I found. We also do have a whole tag dedicated to previous Hogwarts AUs that we’ve recommended!

Squash One, Squash Two, I Love You by Thealmostrhetoricalquestion (G | 23225 | 2/2)

“Why won’t this thing ever open normally?” Gansey asked, staring at the door, although he sounded more nonplussed than annoyed. Nonplussed. That was a word that had made its way into his vocabulary, Adam thought with some amusement, purely because of Gansey.

“Noah keeps floating through the lock,” Adam explained, just as Noah did just that. Noah paused next to Gansey, who looked at him suspiciously for a second and then shook his head with a sigh.

“What have I done?” Noah asked, with a look of innocent confusion. Adam could see the hint of a smirk at the corner of Noah’s translucent mouth.

“You’ve ruined everything, Noah,” Ronan mumbled into his pillow. “You’ve fucking ruined Christmas.”

Now Noah really did look confused. “What? It’s September.“

“Firewhiskey,” Adam said, by way of explanation.

The Magician by ria_green (G | 14471 | 12/12)

First-year Adam Parrish befriends a corporeal ghost, King Arthur’s descendant, and most unlikely of all - Ronan Lynch.

Part 1 of the The Magician series

Amortentia by SpiritsFlame (G | 2602 | 1/1)

There are a lot of things that Adam doesn’t like about the NEWTS level potions class. The way that it relies more on theory than on direction. The way that the fumes can make him nauseous on his bad days. The way that Ronan stands at his side, leans in too close, whispers suggestions into his good ear like he has the right. The way that Adam wants to give him that right.

-Sheila

Rec: Down to the Bone by SpiritsFlame

Rec: Down to the Bone by SpiritsFlame

Title: Down to the Bone Author: SpiritsFlame Canon: Daredevil/MCU Pairing: Matt Murdock/Franklin ‘Foggy’ Nelson Rating: General [G] Word Count: 4,572 Summary: Everyone always wants to know why his daemon isn’t a bat. As though being blind is all that there is to him, the center point of his character. (more…)

[final-boy]

Any superbat fanfics you can recommend? Just starting out in the ship

Yeah i've got a few i really love! Ill post them down below, as always scan the tags and warnings before reading ^_^

🦇 "Be My Heater" by SentientBot

It didn’t matter that Batman conceptually knew the symptoms of hypothermia, experiencing it was a whole new beast. How do you call for help when you don’t even realize you need to?

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28852290/chapters/70773177

🦇 "Again I Go Unnoticed" by Sam4265

Bruce Wayne moved to Smallville when he was eight years old, beginning a friendship with Clark Kent that would come to define the world. But for now they’re just teenagers in love with all the wrong people, running in circles until they finally find their way to each other.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/19425502/chapters/46230448

🦇 "Satisfaction Brought It Back" by SpiritsFlame,slippin_into_darkness

(I re-read this one constantly)

Bruce always thought that Superman's cute shtick of rescuing cats from trees was a bid for publicity—until a confrontation with a magic user leaves him stuck as a cat. He learns how mistaken he was when Superman not only rescues him, but takes him back to a small Metropolis apartment. The opportunity to learn more about the alien can't be ignored, but is Bruce ready for everything he will learn about someone he has only ever regarded with distrust and dislike?

https://archiveofourown.org/works/16599113

🦇 "Get Over It" by Rotasha

(i recommend Rotahsa's entire library tbh, fave fic author)

Bruce needs to get over his inconvenient feelings for Superman and he meets an attractive reporter who he thinks can help him do just that. Little does he know...

https://archiveofourown.org/works/22673140/chapters/54192562

🦇 "In Every sense of The Word" by froggy-o (bobafiend)

Superman could not find it in himself to get along with Batman. Every conversation between the two was an argument, and not even Wonder Woman could force the two to make peace.

At least everything was going well at work. Bruce Wayne had recently bought the Daily Planet, and Clark was finding himself rather taken with the man.

Alternatively titled "Why Wonder Woman is on the verge of losing her fucking mind."

https://archiveofourown.org/works/23381521

🦇 "Just A Pinch" by Leo_Our_Queen

Bruce bakes for Clark and the whole Batfam learns that Kryptonian taste buds are nothing like human taste buds.

Good thing Clark loves Bruce's cooking anyway.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/24679585

🦇 "A Game of Misunderstandings" by JustGettingBy

Things were going well for Bruce until some hot-shot reporter learns his identity. Now, he'll have to do what he can to keep his secret quiet. Even if that means joining the game of blackmail that Clark Kent started.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/21697165/chapters/51750667

🦇 "To Bring Light Back To Your Eyes" by GoldfishForHire

Months after the Justice League is formed in the wake of Steppenwolf's attempted incursion, Superman begins pulling away, becoming isolated and withdrawn. Bruce wants to help, but doesn't know how. He goes to Martha Kent for advice, and an offhand comment leads to a clumsy, though successful, outreach.

Or, Bruce bakes Clark terrible pie to make him feel better, and Clark finds this very endearing.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/26640703

🦇 "When Everythings Made To Be Broken" by Mithen

(Mithen also has a huge library of SuperBat fic like...YEARS of fic)

Batman wakes up in an abandoned farmhouse.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/329946

🦇 "All Each Riddles,When Unknown"

Post-MoS AU: Clark, struggling to deal with the events of Black Zero Day, is assigned a straightforward human-interest piece—on Wayne Enterprises. Then Batman catches Superman's attention, Clark Kent starts investigating Batman, Bruce Wayne spends a lot of time arguing with hitting on Clark Kent, and Bruce's best efforts to find a way to hurt Superman start to bear fruit.

And then things get complicated.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/11485518

🦇 "The Downsides To A Secret Identity" by Liodain

Bruce Wayne has taken a shine to Clark Kent, but Clark is more interested in the Bat of Gotham. The Bat, however, has it in for the Superman in a big way. Clark should probably have considered that before falling quite so hard. They're working together to track down some missing Kryptonian weaponry, after all...

https://archiveofourown.org/works/14592057

🦇 "Saudade" by Liodain

It's midsummer, 2006. In the wake of his son's death, Bruce Wayne tries to outrun his grief on a cross-country road trip. When his car breaks down on a dusty road in the heart of Kansas, a friendly stranger stops to lend a hand.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/11484096

🦇 "Flu Season" by Psychobabblers

Bruce is determined to find out why Clark skipped a League meeting. Turns out, even Kryptonians can get sick once in awhile.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/31547717/chapters/78048578

🦇 "Loading and Aspect Ratio" by JUBE514

It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

“ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/34977802

🦇 "Gotham" by Messier_47

(This is the only ongoing fic in this list. Its incredibly well written.)

Clark hated Gotham.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/23023852

Okay,,Im gonna end this here, mostly cuz its gotten long af

if yall want me to rec more, just let me know! these are just some of my personal faves (●'◡'●)

[passiveinsane]

7/15/2020

Teen Wolf

Safe at Anchor by Jerakeen | Only available to ao3 users

“The next morning, his dad barges in without knocking, which is a very parent thing to do and definitely something Stiles expected. That's why he and Derek are both dressed and lying over the covers. The picture they paint is probably sickening, yes, there might be handholding involved, but is it deserving of parental scorn? Not at all.”

hope is the thing with feathers by ShanaStoryteller

Stiles saves the Hales from the fire, and everything changes. Only, not really. Featuring magic stiles and Sterek

Hide Of A Life War by Etharei

“In between being herded around and shouted at to move faster, the hostages have mostly been left alone, the smugglers occupied with arguing with each other and dealing with the police presence outside the compound. Their guards watch any movement suspiciously, but don't stop the hostages from talking to each other as long as they're not too loud about it. Stiles reads that as the smugglers not taking the possibility of the hostages escaping seriously, but he can't tell if it's because the smugglers are overconfident enough to think ten scared-as-shit people would not be able to do it or if there's a hidden threat unknown to the hostages that make escape an impossibility. By all accounts, it's most likely overconfidence, but.

Stiles' senses are tinglin'.”  (sterek)

So Take a Long Shot by relenafanel

The author has a thing for competent stiles with a gun, and so does derek. Sterek

Even the stars they burn by rufflefeather for i_know_its_0ver

““Because I��m the weakest,” Stiles says, still not looking at him. Derek wants to shake him. Wants to roar, how can you not know, because he can smell it on himself. The want, the need, the desperate longing that deepens with every second he stands there. But Stiles isn’t a werewolf. He’s a human who thinks that means he’s less than everyone he spends nearly all his time with. It's the exact opposite because Stiles has no superhuman abilities, can't heal from injury within hours, and he steps into the line of danger anyway.

“Because you’re important to me,” Derek simply says. A quiet truth. Stiles looks over, eyes wide.” (sterek)

Mother of Dragons by Lissadiane | HP AU | Series

Stiles and Derek are at Hogwarts, Stiles likes magical creatures, there is a dragon. Fluffy fluff fluff, sterek.

The Things That Don't Matter by Lissadiane | Stiles survives to graduate au

“Something stops then, a little hiccup of uncertainty, a shifting of the ground beneath Stiles’ feet, something… because that’s not true, is it? It’s not okay to not be okay. Stiles always has to be okay. He always has to figure out the source of danger to keep the others safe, he has to dive in with his baseball bat or his wit or his father’s gun and be the pack’s last hail Mary. And then he has to pick himself up again with a sarcastic comment on the bloodstains on his clothes or the damage to his jeep or the fact that his dad’s gonna ground him again for discharging his weapon.” (sterek)

Whatever Our Souls Are Made Of by Lissadiane

Stiles can see the ghosts of animals who’ve got an emotional attachment to the person they follow. Derek walks in with a wolf. (sterek)

Wolves and Foxes Don’t Get Along by Lissadiane

“ “Dude, of course he’s going to notice. You’re pack.”

Stiles laughs, a sputtering, stunned sort of laughter, and says, “What? No I’m not.”

“Of course you are.” Scott frowns, shifting to cross his legs and lean closer, eyes narrowed. “Unless -- do you not wanna be?”

“I don’t -- it’s not -- what I want doesn’t matter,” Stiles tells him. “I can’t be pack. Pack is for wolves and I am not a wolf.”

“Lydia and Allison and Kira aren’t wolves. Hell, Malia’s not a wolf either if you’re getting technical. That doesn’t matter. I mean. Stiles, if you don’t wanna be, that’s cool.” He looks like it breaks his heart to say it, but Stiles isn’t going to call him out on it. “But you should maybe tell Derek before he gets anymore attached.” “

Living a Teenage Dream by Lissadiane | Easy A/Ten Things I Hate About You AU (no knowledge needed)

“ “Stop thinking,” Derek says, breaking the kiss but only to brush his lips down along Stiles’ jaw. “You forgot to kiss me back.”

“Oh,” Stiles says, a grin finally cracking the muddy pout he could still feel on his face. “Oh, I did, kiss me again.”

So Derek does, and it’s amazing, and if it tastes like mud, Stiles doesn’t mind, because it’s the best kiss he can remember, and it makes his fingertips tingle, and his toes go numb – though that could be the cold lake water.

And then something slimy wiggles up his pantleg and Stiles starts to scream about leeches and water-borne vampires and Derek’s laughing so hard that he’s finally having trouble breathing, and after they pull each other out of the lake, they decide to head back to the car and into town for ice cream, because it’s probably safer.” (sterek)

Night Owl by Lissadiane | Series | Stiles is a blood witch AU

“Stiles doesn’t know how good he’s gonna be at handling that level of responsibility, that’s all. What if he does something wrong? What if he hurts someone, or curses someone, or someone’s relying on him and he fails to come through because magic is hard and he has the attention span of a newt?”

bend bridges, mend bones by Thealmostrhetoricalquestion | Fantasy AU

“ “You almost died,” Derek says.

“But I didn’t,” Stiles says.

“But you could have.” “

Just the Same by ericaismeg

Okay so, the werewolves + stiles are the lacrosse team- yes, all of them- and there’s still werewolves. Sterek, obviously.

These Scars Tell A Story (But It’s Not Mine) by HappyJuicyfruit

Stiles, a mage, moves to Beacon Hills- a sanctuary for supernaturals. (sterek)

Love and Other Accidents by goblinish

Stiles gets injured in new and interesting ways, and Derek is the EMT assigned to him.

Break the Lock If It Don't Fit by Dira Sudis (dsudis)

“ "So I'm not in the pack yet," Stiles said, looking back up at the ceiling. "But I'm, like, going steady with it?" ”

The One Where Stiles Thinks Derek is a Drug Lord (and he kind of is) by Triangulum

Title, sterek.

A Guide To Your Supernatural Life by SpiritsFlame | Series

Stiles is pack mom, but- in a hyper in-character way! (sterek)

some nights by Hymn

“ "Isn't it kind of what you do?"

Stiles muttered something unflattering about werewolves and privacy and personal space and issues, oh god the issues”

It seems wasted now by DaaroMoltor

Stiles gets pushed out of the pack, but what if extra Feelings! (sterek)

Stiles Has Been a Demon All Along!AU by Tegami | Series

https://archiveofourown.org/series/376520

Title, hilarious.

Binomial Coefficients by DevilDoll

“In which brainy freshman Stiles Stilinski wants star quarterback Derek Hale to join the math team, AKA math nerds in love.” (sterek)

what do you call a lost wolf? (a where-wolf) by holygolightly

“ "So you're doing this out of some weird wolfy-obligation?"

"No, you idiot. I'm doing it because I'm worried about you. Now shut up and eat your soup before I pour it down your throat."

"Now that sounds like the Sourwolf we all know and love."

And if Derek's heart fluttered a little faster on the word love, well, nobody else was around to hear it.”

Before They Were Pack by orphan_account

Ever wanted an entire long fic about stanning stiles? No? Too bad.

[bennguinfest]

Hey y’all! Our summer exchange has wrapped up, and we’re delighted to be sharing the amazing fics everyone wrote for each other now that author have been revealed! Go shower them with love - there are some really fantastic fics written for this exchange!! Thank you so much to everyone that participated - we had a FULL participation this time around and that’s all thanks to you!

Without further ado - here’s the list of fics under the cut! 

All I Dream of Lately by DizzyRedhead for Why_so_drama

To play with someone like Tyler Seguin, Jamie would do a lot worse than share a room. Now if he could only get rid of this pesky crush...

After flunking out of BU thanks to too much partying, Tyler would do a lot to keep playing, including moving to Texas. Now if only he can manage not to jump his new captain...

And I never wanted anything from you except everything you had by Bluejay141519 for chibinecco

It isn’t entirely his fault. That’s the truth and he’s going to stick with it.

It’s mostly his fault, but it’s not entirely.

Tyler wakes up the morning after a hard game and some light drinking and he’s no longer got hands. Which sounds alarming, but at least it’s not the first time. No hands but- paws. He’s a dog again.

Not really how he planned for his Tuesday to go.

Blow What’s Left of My Right Mind by eyeslikeonyx for SpiritsFlame

Jamie stares at his phone, reading over the article that Jordie sent him just moments ago as he walks through the woods on the outskirts of his hometown. It’s early in the morning, and he’s finished his daily run, and he’s not entirely sure if he’s reading the headline right.

Seguin, Eriksson Swapped in Seven-Player Trade.

Dad of the Year by SpiritsFlame for literaryoblivion

Jamie has never in his life cared about other people’s kids, but hearing Tyler talk about tossing a ball around with Gerry at the park is somehow the highlight of his week.

Now Confusion is Oh So Clear by Milionking for alocalband

Jamie has a new teammate that oozes sex. Jamie now has to deal with it.

OR

The 5 times Jamie had a gay crisis and the 1 time he acted on it.

Oh Captain, My Captain by eafay70 for Bluejay141519

Tyler figures out how to deal with his crush on Jamie.

The Parties by Tisaniere for eafay70

Jamie goes back to Victoria for a summer of fun after the Dallas Stars crash out of the playoffs. And he gets to spend time with his summer best friend Tyler Seguin, who also happens to be the man of his dreams.

In which Jamie Benn is an oblivious idiot, Paul Bissonnette fancies himself a matchmaker, Tyson's the most annoying best friend on earth, and Nathan Mackinnon can give love advice whilst nursing a broken heart, because he's a pro through and through.

Places to Call Home by Why_so_drama for Tisaniere

When Tyler takes over the family farm, he doesn’t expect to be giving away his very first parsnip, and along with it, his heart.

This can be read whether or not you are familiar with Stardew Valley.

Sidelines by dharma_club for Milionking

Nothing ever goes according to plan.

Or, Tyler Seguin is a dumbass.

Some Fairytale Bliss by chibinecco for DizzyRedhead

Soulmates!AU where you can mentally link with a compatible partner by achieving a sense of peace and relaxation together and from each other. Tyler and Jamie get creative with how to get Tyler to focus long enough to get them there.

Supposed Cinematic Moments by alocalband for EveryDayBella

Jamie and Tyler admit their feelings for each other just as the Stars' season comes to a close in a game 7 loss in the second round of the playoffs.

Having the whole rest of the summer to figure things out between them sounds great on paper. But when they both already have plans to spend said summer thousands of miles apart, it gets a little trickier.

Vows and Promises by EveryDayBella for eyeslikeonyx

Jamie had made a lot of promises in his life. At ten years old he’d promised his mom that when he made it to the NHL he would pay off her house. He’d signed contracts for millions of dollars promising his best play in return. None of it measured up to this promise.

Won’t Fall for Your Charm by literaryoblivion for dharma_club

Tyler might have been born with the power, but it has taken him most of his life to figure out how to use it, how to control it, how to know how far he can take it and when it’s too much for him to wield (which luckily has only been a few times, but unfortunately resulted in him being kicked out of Boston’s academy).

So when he gets his acceptance to the Supernatural Training Academy of Renowned Sorcery (STARS) in Dallas, he’s excited and nervous and above all, relieved.

And as a new student at STARS, he gets a campus mentor, Jamie Benn, to help show him around.

Again, huge props and thanks to everyone that participated and made this exchange so successful! it’s amazing to read all of these great new Bennguin stories all at once, and we’re looking forward to running another event closer to when the season starts!!

[postcardjpg]

Pynch fic recs: shinealightonme on ao3 has my favorite fics in the fandom, I HIGHLY recommend her fics!! They are hilarious, great characterization, can have some good angst as well. Also: "Time Isn't Real (But You're a Constant)" by SpiritsFlame, and "The Time It Takes (To Believe In Fate)" by LydiaStJames are two EXCELLENT time travel fics. And finally, EtoileGarden has great fics as well. You'll be entertained for a looong time if you check these authors/fics out!

thank u so much! it’s so nice seeing people share what their favorite fics are

Do you know any fics where other members of the gangsey walk in on Ronan and Adam?

Hello! The following fics all involve someone intruding on something else (someone on pynch, Ronan on Adam with other people present, etc.)

Time Isn't Real (but you're a constant) by SpiritsFlame (E | 89446 | 6/6)

"Time is what prevents everything from happening at once." - Albert Einstein.

Adam wakes up in the future, learns a few things about himself, about time, and about his priorities. But mostly he just wishes that Time was doing it's job better.

Two Boys Kissing by Again_n_Again (E | 9236 | 1/1)

Blue needs someone to pose for her, so she can build up her figure drawing portfolio....Adam ruefully agrees. Which leads to Ronan having to see a half-dressed Adam in his place all the time....things unfold naturally from there. Sorry about all the words....I get carried away.

don't make a shadow of yourself by softambrollins (T | 1567 | 1/1)

They're just filling up the space, with noise and words and insults that never quite hit their mark but just glance off of the walls or each other, hoping it's enough.

Blue and Gansey happen to walk in just as he says the one thing that lands right where it was supposed to go, where he never intended it to go.

Author Name:

For English stuff it’s elareine. I had other usernames before but that one stuck. 

Fandoms You Write For:

This year it’s been DC, mostly batfamily, a lot JayTim. If you count what’s on AO3, ff.de, Animexx and my notebooks, I’ve written in over 30 fandoms, most of them very small. 

Where You Post:

AO3 for longer one-shots and WIPs, and Tumblr for drabbles. If anyone has a suggestion how to organize those on AO3 without annoying the shit out of everyone, hit me up! Please.

Most Popular One-Shot:

By comments Feather, by kudos and hits Finding Surety, by bookmarks But you were always on my mind. All of these are Hockey RPF. 

For DC it’s Reasons to be jealous by kudos and bookmarks and A soft place to land by comments. As for Tumblr drabbles, there’s these two.

Most Popular Multi-Chapter Story:

I had stopped writing multi-chapter stories for at least six years (probably longer) until I started In the Shallows last year, and the reception has blown me away.

Favourite Story You Wrote:

Uhm. There’s one self-indulgent Lotr/Silmarillion/the Hobbit one-shot that exists only in handwritten form and which I’ll likely never post because my style has changed since, but I kinda love it. On AO3, A Woman Is Herself, which is the first time I was the first to post in a fandom, and a reminder to myself to write about women more.

For DC, it’s probably To love and to honour. I wrote that when my father was in hospital and I was basically just clinging to anything keeping me distracted. I’d stumbled upon the JayTim two weeks before that and threw myself headfirst into JayTim Week. And this my personal fave from that. It’s not perfect, there’s about 12 things I’d change about it now, but still. 

Story You Were Nervous to Post:

Everything I ever wrote for an exchange, especially touched your head gently (felt my heart melt) because it’s about being a father, and also my first DC story ever.

How Do You Choose Your Titles:

Song lyrics and quotes that fit the theme or mood if I can’t think of anything, which is often. I try to go with the style of the fic a little, e.g. for Secret Witness, it was about making it sound like a TV show (while totally forgetting Silent Witness is a thing,) and with The Reluctant Brides I wanted it to resemble Georgette Heyer. 

Do You Outline:

Yes, except for drabbles. Length and details might change, but I need something to orient myself. A Hope Like You is the first multi-chapter that I only have an over-arching plot and a list of things I want to happen at some point for, instead of a detailed chapter-by-chapter outline. We’ll see how that goes.

Complete:

40 on AO3. Technically two more that I deleted. 

In-Progress:

Too many.

Coming Soon/Not Yet Started:

First chapter of my Urban Fantasy Week contribution is almost done; I hope to post today or tomorrow. After that, I have a few non-JayTim oneshots I want to work on, and the next chapter of Secret Witness.  

I also got like three requests today to do more regency, so... 

Oh, and it’s DCU Bang posting time soon! 

Do You Accept Prompts:

Yes, and it really doesn’t have to be from that one kiss prompt list. I might re-blog another one soon. 

Will I get to them in a timely manner? Different question.

Upcoming Story You Are Most Excited to Write:

Apart from my WIPs? The companion fic to Reasons to be jealous, because it’s been a while since I wrote from Dick’s POV. 

Tagged By:

@glaciya​, thank you :D Reading yours, I suddenly realized that my friend sent me ‘Time After Time’ years ago with about one thousand exclamation points about how good it is and how it’s her favourite. (I concur.) I just double-checked with her and she said she still re-reads it every few months on her kindle. 

Tagging:

@scootboot97 @magoril @reah22 @spiritsflame - If you feel like it! Or anyone else that wants to, seriously, feel free to just put me in as ‘tagged by’.

could be canon fics

Continuing Education 

Author: Taricha

Summary: “Yeah?” Alex said with a smirk, sneaking his fingertips up under the lab coat. “Does that turn you on? I could calculate the area of a circle for you, if it gets you hot.”

“Maybe later,” Hank said agreeably, and kissed him briefly before pulling back and saying with alarming enthusiasm, “you could go to college!”

If I Were an Enzyme 

Author: AlwaysCryOverSpilledMilk

"If I were an enzyme, I'd be DNA helicase so I could unzip your genes."

"I don't wear jeans. These are dress pants."

When Hope Guards the Gate 

Author: Meddalarksen, victoriousscarf

Charles pretends to create a mutant school, Hank actually creates a mutant school, and Erik's band of revolutionaries weaves in and out of their lives.

No none ever claimed being a mutant was going to be easy, but no one said it was going to be this complicated either.

my absolute favorite, must-read! Edited version of „Not Just Pain and Anger“

Not Just Pain and Anger 

Author: Meddalarksen, victoriousscarf

After the events of First Class, Erik and Charles' lives continue to intertwine, and they attempt to stay together despite being on opposite sides. It's easier and harder by turns, as one tries to continue to build his school, and the other tries to raise an army.

The Things That Fade 

Author: UisceOneLove

It was little things here and there in the beginning.

Lapsing on the affection Alex always had in that nickname like the previous time in the lab, or he’d forget a word when it was right on the tip of his tongue. There were a few times he would be in the middle of a conversation with Charles and he would suddenly blank on what point he was making. Once he ended up in the jet’s bay and forgot why he was there in the first place.

Or in other words, the world where Hank gets Alzheimer's and is forced to see his world crumble.

Amazing fic, read “It Ends Tonight” after this

It Ends Tonight 

Author: UisceOneLove

Alex was tired.

Alex was angry.

Alex wanted to destroy everything he could with his beams.

Scientists Prefer Blondes 

Author: Meddalarksen, victoriousscarf

Hank made a vague distressed sound and shook his head. "How's a steady lover treating you?" he asked and Tony choked on air.

Alex snorted at that, crossing his arms out of habit, "And he's a blond too. I tell you, you guys have a type."

"A type?" Tony blinked and Hank laughed. "We have a type? Who has a type."

"Apparently scientists prefer blondes," Hank translated for him. "It's been Alex's pet theory for a while."

Someone to Love the Both of Us

Author: emperors_girl

In the nursery, the baby is still crying. Charles leaves Erik where he sleeps and goes to pick up the child. They'll both be gone by the time Erik wakes.

not a fan of mpreg, but I really liked this one!

AU where everyone is a big family (especially Hank and Alex and sometimes even Scott)

this is only now (where do we go from here) 

Author: thebodyeclectic

From this prompt on the 1stclass_kink meme: Modern AU, where an older Alex (in his mid twenties?) somehow figures out/recieves the news that, no, his younger brother didn't die in the crash like he'd been told, and then sets out to find him.

some favourites from my bookmarks/downloads :] unfortunately i did most of my reading on super hyperfixation mode in which i forgot about the bookmarks function and also was using a private window (force of habit) so i have several faves lost in the sauce... ill come back for them someday

Like A Steel Trap - missigma: identity stuff, road trip E, 27k “A young Bruce Wayne travels to Metropolis to try to gather more information about a mysterious new hero, Superman. After his first attempt—questioning reporter Clark Kent in his hotel room—proves fruitless, he returns to his original plan to meet the man himself. Long aware of a kidnapping plot, Bruce allows himself to be taken captive in hopes that Superman will rescue him. While Superman does make an appearance, nothing else goes according to plan.”

Lost Time Without You - rotasha: soulmates + identity T+, 68k “In a universe where your soulmate’s injuries show up on your skin, Bruce is convinced he doesn’t have a soulmate, and Clark is seriously concerned for his soulmate’s well-being.”

The Long Hangover - CoffioCake: identity stuff, overall really funny T+, 55k "Clark knows he should take a break: His powers are on the fritz, he feels like shit, and Batman’s treating him like a liability. But Gotham's villains seem to have it in for Metropolis' Big Blue Boy Scout and Clark won't just wait around for answers. Batman might be the world’s greatest detective, but Clark Kent is one of the Daily Planet’s most tenacious reporters. This is definitely a job for Superman."

Satisfaction Brought It Back - slippin_into_darkness, SpiritsFlame bruce turns into a cat G, 18k "Bruce always thought that Superman's cute shtick of rescuing cats from trees was a bid for publicity—until a confrontation with a magic user leaves him stuck as a cat. He learns how mistaken he was when Superman not only rescues him, but takes him back to a small Metropolis apartment. The opportunity to learn more about the alien can't be ignored, but is Bruce ready for everything he will learn about someone he has only ever regarded with distrust and dislike?"

Conflated - GamiPami: identity stuff + body swap T+, 31k “Are you sure you’re feeling quite all right, sir? I was but fairly sure the head hadn't been impacted.” “No… no, please. Listen. I’m in his body, but I’m not him. I can prove it.” Ill at ease, Clark rubbed at the back of his head, not stopping to think about the weird sensation of feeling not his own curls, but somebody else’s hair. The man continued to stare at him with piercing and scolding eyes. “I believe you.” He nodded. “Mister Wayne doesn’t say please this early in the morning.”

where i come from - soetry: ANOTHER soulmate au, no identity stuff, "will happily write fics where clark's like Bruce I Love You and bruce goes Oh No He's Possessed" <- tag by the author E, 52k "Bruce doesn’t have a soulmark, and Clark doesn’t have a soulmark, on an Earth where everyone has a soulmark. Somewhere in there is a simple solution. Somewhere to that solution is an overcomplicated journey. Surely two of the world’s leading superheroes will not take the overcomplicated route? Surely not?"

Man of Steel, Man of Heart - capsicleonyourleft: identity shenanigans fr.. they work together as the hero + civilian combos... love to see it M, 13k "Clark gets information that Lex Luthor is in possession of Wayne Tech and decides to confront Bruce Wayne about it. As he suspected, Wayne isn't involved with Luthor, but he is ready to look into it. It's just Clark's luck that some paparazzi catches their meeting on film and suddenly the papers are filled with "SUPERMAN: WAYNE'S LATEST CONQUEST?""

Clark Kent, of Krypton - TerresDeBrume: REALLY GOOD krypton survives au. i cant wait to reread this once a little more time has passed :] its kinda dceu but also not really because the dceu is vastly different when superman was simply not there during any of the canon events. LOVE the worldbuilding btw M, 98k "Batman crashes on Krypton a few days before the Turn of the Year celebrations, and Kal-El's life takes a sharp turn to the left, on a path that will, ultimately, lead him to becoming Clark Kent."

under ice the flowers - susiecarter: dceu + no identity stuff BUT its got kryptonian culture stuff and its really cute so i included it anyway. lives in my brain rent free T+, 3k “Clark had already liked wearing the black suit a little too much. The black suit—the black cape.”

(A Superhero's Amateur Guide to Saving a Life, Falling in Love, and Preserving the Space-Time Continuum Despite) Time Travel - susiecarter: dceu with no identity stuff again but theres time travel (as mentioned in the title). the way it all comes together is fantastic, highly recommend. i cried T+, 18k “There isn't anything unusual about the day Bruce dies. Clark wishes there had been. He wishes he'd known it was coming; he wishes he'd been ready and waiting to stop it before it happened at all. But having the chance to fix it after the fact is the next-best thing. He'll take it.”

Anypony got superbat fics i miss them 😔

[itsthegameilike]

Just some fic recs...

I’ve read a lot of really good fic this year and I just thought the best of the best deserved some recognition.  I tried to weed out the super popular fics, but some still show up because I love them that much.  Also, the ships are numerous and varied.

Running on Air--eleventy7; Drarry Draco Malfoy has been missing for three years. Harry is assigned the cold case and finds himself slowly falling in love with the memories he collects. *I would murder people to protect this fic. ��It’s beautifully written, well-plotted, original, and it reuses certain sentences, making them more poignant the later in the story they’re used.  Like, fuck me up*

the ghost of you--kissmesexybatman; Klance When Keith goes missing without a trace, all his family and friends are able to do is move on with their lives. When he shows back up after a year, they have to convince him they still want him back. *I may be slightly biased because the coolest person in the world wrote this, but let me tell you, it’s emotionally heartwrenching, wonderfully written, and gives you a happy ending without sacrificing the needs of the characters*

My soul is an empty carousel at sunset.--dawnstruck; Otayuri Yuri grows up and grows older and grows into himself. Otabek helps. It just takes a while to get there. *I’m demi and this fic described exactly what that experience has been like for me, as it features a demi!Yuri.  Beyond that, it was sweet and genuine and I adored it*

Dewey Despicable--ghostystarr; Klance "To the toddler who left coffee stains all over the ancient myth books – have you ever heard of these fantastic things called lids? You can put them on all sorts of things; cups, Tupperware, a coffin. Which is exactly what I’ll be shutting you in if you desecrate my thesis paper’s primary sources again." *This one is just hilarious and sweet and adorable and it made me smile for hours*

tears and vines--adamganseys; Pynch The turn for Monmouth is about to come up when Adam speaks again. “Do you want me to drop you at Monmouth?” There’s a note of reluctance in Adam’s voice, and that’s when he realizes how very much he wants Ronan to come to his apartment with him, how much he needs his comforting presence after what just happened.

Ronan studies him in that intense way of his before replying, “I’d rather just chill at St. Agnes a bit, if that’s cool with you.”

(Or, my response to the prompt things you said when you were crying, where Ronan comes to Adam's apartment with him after Robert Parrish's trial) *A nice, slight deviation from canon fic that really utilizes Adam’s connection to Cabeswater in the best possible way.  Plus, Ronan is excellent in this*

Mental--sara_holmes; Drarry Harry has had quite enough of sharing his mind with someone else, thankyouverymuch. A miscast Legilimecy spell says otherwise. *This is one probably everyone has read, but if you haven’t, fucking do it.  It’s sweet, well-written, and Draco’s characterization is amazing.  Definitely one of the favorite ones I have*

Nerve Endings--Phyona; Viktuuri When Yuuri moves in with Victor in St. Petersburg, they have to work through Yuuri's anxiety and Victor's secrets to find their balance. *Again, probably everyone has read this, but jesus christ if you haven’t, it’s a must.  Yuuri is done wonderfully, especially his anxiety, and the relationship is sweet and caring and perfect*

Smoke and Mirrors--Footloose; Merthur Merlin's magic has been revealed, and it has all gone wrong. Arthur might hunt him, he might hate him, but Merlin can't help but protect him from afar. *It’s angsty as shit and frankly, does not get any less angsty as it goes, but it deals well with the magic reveal and the writing is hauntingly lovely*

The Lullaby of Nifflish Erupments--sheafrotherdon; Wolfstar Sirius Black is a Boy With Ideas. Remus Lupin is the target of his cunning plan. James merely loses his underpants. *This is short and sweet and hilarious and Sirius is just so Sirius*

A Creature Void of Form--ignipes; Wolfstar Christmas, 1994. Two men, a cave, a hippogriff, some blankets, a hot meal, a blizzard, a bottle of vino rosso, and a conversation. *Again, kind of super angsty, but it never fails to make me feel warm inside by the end.  There’s just something about the devotion against all odds in this one*

Play Your Cards Right--merlywhirls; Solangelo Will and Nico meet through a Mythomagic forum board and begin texting, and begin to own themselves. *It’s a truly delightful texting fic.  This author is so goddamn good at them.  It’s pretty short and funny and definitely romantic*

Étude--xlydiadeetz; Lamen “The heart has a melody. Once you discover it, there’s no going back.”

Present day, Auguste is dead. The Golden Pianist is gone, and Laurent finds himself completely alone in the world. Haunted by the ghost of the promise he never accomplished, he goes through the stages of grief as he remembers his brother and deals with the return of a high school crush who makes him start to believe once again in the beauty of music. *Yet again, I’m probably a little biased, but this fic has heart.  It’s painful a lot of the time, harsh mistakes are made by the characters, but it doesn’t take away from how human they are and how much they all love each other*

When There’s Moonlight, I See Your Eyes.--Kali Cephirot; Noah and Brian There is, hidden in the hatch where Noah existed for the past two years, even deeper than that, the smallest, tiniest, brightest little hope that likes to go maybemaybemaybe at him if he thinks too hard about this. *The only fic I’ve read--admittedly there aren’t many for I’ll Give You The Sun--where Noah is captured perfectly and it definitely pays off.  This fic is lovely*

Adunatio--Vixenette; Wolfstar A potion accident has unexpected consequences *I think you know what the potion does, but FUCKING READ IT.  That’s all I’ve got*

Because I Cared--jostenminyard; Andriel Andreil prompt: A Raven sneaks a dashboard lighter on to the court and Neil gets hurt and has a panic attack. *Because everyone has read Lessons in Cartography and I haven’t read nearly enough fic for these two.  This one is super good, however short.  It’s just so them*

Midnight Doesn’t Last Forever--ghostystarr; Solangelo "So come and watch the sunset with me?" Solangelo. *This is reread worthy.  Fluffy and fun and it captures the personalities of Will and Nico so perfectly and makes me love them like ten times more than I already did*

Sansûkh--determamfidd; multi The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger. *Listen, so many people have read this, but I had to.  It’s a must read, even if you aren’t a Lord of the Rings person.  I’m telling you.  You won’t regret it for a second*

Time Isn’t Real (but you’re a constant)--SpiritsFlame; Pynch "Time is what prevents everything from happening at once." - Albert Einstein.

Adam wakes up in the future, learns a few things about himself, about time, and about his priorities. But mostly he just wishes that Time was doing it's job better. *A relatively well known fic, but it’s my favorite pynch fic by far.  There’s just something about younger Ronan and older Adam interacting.  Well, and the other way too.  The older versions are so beautiful and in character, but they’ve also grown and it’s just so rewarding ughhhh*

Text Talk--merlywhirls; Wolfstar Sirius is in boarding school, Remus is in hospital, and they don't know each other until Sirius texts the wrong number. *And the holy grail.  I have read this fic like twelve times.  I don’t even care if you like Remus or Sirius or if you don’t read texting fics or you don’t like harry potter, you have to read this.  It’s my life.  It is my comfort food*

The fic I was looking for

Hello, there!

You guys remember I was looking for a Sterek fic? I published the description in the Teen Wolf Rec lifejournal community and they actually found the fic I was looking for! The reason I wasn’t able to find it was because the fic is part of a challenge. So, here are the links they gave me for reading, I’m sharing them with you, guys.

Fanfic: Worst Case Scenario.

Author: SpiritsFlame
