✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩

A collection of fics I’ve read (/reread) and thoroughly enjoyed in the past week-ish from all kinds of fandoms and genres.

ATLA

Instinctual by Thisisentertaining

Sokka's instincts had screamed at him ever since Jet showed his smarmy, smug, wheat chewing face, but without evidence he couldn't convince Katara and Aang to listen to him. Honestly, as time went on and he couldn't find anything to support his unease he started to doubt it himself.

Then Jet let him in on the Freedom Fighter's biggest secret.

Sokka should have known better than to ignore his instincts.

The Mandalorian

And we are kind to snails by  vaguely_concerned (+ podfic)

Story time on the Razor Crest! It was obviously way too early to introduce the kid to combat training, but there were other ways to prepare a child for the world, surely.

If that meant Din was occasionally stuck trying to imitate animal calls for the enjoyment and edification of a delighted and indefatigable one-person audience, so be it.

Unmasked by navigatio

Things are looking up for Cara Dune, new inductee into the Bounty Hunter Guild. She’s got a spiffy new job thanks to Greef Karga, credits in her pocket, even a new ship—So when she gets a possible distress call from Mando, she has to make a decision: go rescue him, or stay in pursuit of her bounty—oh, who is she kidding, of course she’s going to rescue Mando and the kid, dammit.

BNHA

the clouds are closing in now. by carolinaa

Something in Denki's brain is different, ever since his latest turn as a human lightning rod. After all, there are only so many times he can fry his brain through and have it remain intact.

If only he wasn't constantly on Aizawa's last nerve.

(BTHB square 8: was too hard on them)

Scum Villain’s Self Saving System

to the gates of babylon by Pomfry                

Part 1 of oh, holy golden sun

The man who once was Airplane Shooting Towards The Sky, who could have been Shang Qinghua, who is now only Shang Pingke, created the world he lives in. Is it really so surprising that it complies with what he says?

a different tune by  jets_adjacent

He designs Shang Qinghua just for himself

(aka: Mo Beijun is the author and Shang Qinghua's the character)

Untamed

The One-Body Problem by metisket

The good news is that Lan Jingyi has found a mentor, friend, and constant companion through the difficulties in life.

The bad news is that that’s because he’s been accidentally possessed by the Yiling Patriarch.

marriage is what brings us together by MonocerosRex (+ podfic)         

When Wangxian decide they can't even wait a day to get married Jiang Cheng is faced with attempting the impossible: planning a wedding in a matter of hours.

 “Uh, um, hi, Jiang Cheng, we were just, um, we have to go, it’s really important—” And he actually tried to sneak past him, Lan Zhan’s wrist caught in his hand as he was willingly dragged along.

 “So you’re getting married, huh?” Jiang Cheng said, his voice poisonously sweet. Wei Ying flinched guiltily. “You’re on your way to the courthouse now? How nice. Hey, just quickly before you go Wei Ying, do you remember what I said I’d do to the next man to make a-jie cry?”

 “...you’d...you’d pull his—”

 “I’d pull his spine out through his dick, yes.”
