[saturday-byte]

Rabbit Walter . You agree

secret santa here! hi again. i hope things have been good with you. ❤️

would like a better grasp of things you love! could you share some of the following (and feel free to describe what you love about each to your heart's desire)?

favorite fics of your top ships

favorite authors (literary, fan fic space, etc.)

hi! i've been good, still on hiatus but breaking it for half of a second to answer this. for all my favorite fics i'd suggest looking at my bookmarks on ao3, which has all ships and why i love them <3

favorite luztoye fics

- no good without you by @disastrouscanasta

a pacific rim au, and genuinely lovely. i've actually never watched pacrim, but the love and genuine human understanding and experiences in this (paired with the insanely skilled writing) makes this a top luztoye fic of all time for me <3

- the road is long, we carry on by rebelsquad (wolveheart)

this fic genuinely kills me because both its prose and understanding of luz as a character is absolutely top tier. additionally, the way that the author Gets the ship is just absolutely stunning, and i'm obsessed with the way they have the finger on the pulse of this insanely gorgeous premise.

- knit us together by @almost-a-class-act

just an all-around good fic, required reading tbh. i'm guessing that you've read this, dear exchange partner, because it's truly a bible in terms of luztoye fic.

favorite loosier fics

- where the weather suits my clothes by @disastrouscanasta

yet another arthur fic, but well deserved, as per <3. absolutely gorgeous 70s au that understands both hoosier and leckie like genuinely No One does.

- in the night i am wild-eyed (you got me now) by @riddlersboyfriend

an all-time favorite by a previous and beloved exchange partner <33. truly one of my favorite canon era fics in all of hbo war and it is so, so visceral and lovely to read.

favorite authors

going with novels for this, since fanfic is above and in bookmarks <33

- betty smith

she is genuinely such a fucking icon, a tree grows in brooklyn my beloved. as someone who grew up in poverty with strong ties to a mother country this both read me for filth and made me cry multiple times

- herman wouk

mostly for war and remembrance. the king of character voices, period-era fics, and multiple people pov. also long books. so, so painfully long but in such a good way. he is a Man as well though so beware because sometimes he suffers from Not Understanding Women

- fyodor dostoevsky

the idiot. the brothers karamazov. crime and punishment. i'm insane, i'm insaneeee!!!! not a lot to say on him and i mean what IS there to say he's dostoevsky

thanks for asking!! if i can help with anything else or if you just want to chat, always feel free to hmu <333
