There is a fic called Star Wars: The Golden Saber by darkmagess on ao3.

Here is the thing about this fic.... it's earth shattering. It is paradigm shifting. It feels like one of the Star Wars novels you'd buy at the bookstore.

The characterization of Obi-Wan Kenobi is sublime. The world building challenges George Lucas on his best day. The OC makes me cry. I think of this fic at least once a week, and I read it over a year ago.

It explains the Jedi order better than the movies do. It takes you on journeys that build towards the canon story.

Everyone should read it.

Edit: Their tumblr is @magess!

[Teen, 27k]

A classic soul mark AU that gives me vibes of post-season 1 fics.

bird versus bard by provocation

[General, 2k]

Geralt befriends a beautiful bird. Someone gets jealous.

[magess]

Loki sat naked on the hot sand under a dark sky painted with a brilliant sea of stars. The ocean rolled and tumbled. A cool breeze brought goosebumps to his flesh and lifted through his hair, the strands tickling against his neck. He hugged his knees to his chest and breathed in time with the lap of the water. He’d left Mobius sated and asleep in a tent conjured as the sun dipped low in the sky. A luxurious affair crafted atop the carpet he had already laid, teeming with pillows to cradle fragile human flesh. Oil lanterns flickered inside, giving the whole of its shape an oscillating glow.

[eternalsterekrecs]

As she poured out her grief at Allison’s graveside, she’d made her a promise. To be better, to be worth it, to listen, to protect others, to fight and be fierce and keep anyone else from dashing themselves to pieces for her sake. She dropped prayerful tears to the earth and performed an inner alchemy to be made of finer strength.

Sterek fic Sanctuary by darkmagess

[chaosandwolves]

Gods I love fanfic.

Honestly, like, you hardly ever see published writing that hits as hard as fanfics.

Fanfic authors have the freedom to be incredibly creative and sometimes they put out sentences that are so incredibly genius. May it be in their simplicity or in their creativity.

Please, can y'all reblog with some of your favourite quotes from fanfics (and link them)?

-

-

-

I'll start and I randomly chose this one:

They’d laid no claims to one another. Made no heart’s promises or breathy bless è d oaths between a kiss and a sigh. But he knew. In his soul where the wild things lay watchful, where they paced in patient circles around their hoard of meager treasures, that the world would always, always seek a crack and send a thief. And that was how precious things are lost.

From "Oidhche (Night)" by darkmagess (The Witcher/Geraskier)

PATREON 

[jemmasimmons]

hello! welcome back! do you have any geraskier fic recs? :D

Hey anon! Thank you :) It's been fun to come back to tumblr again.

You know, I'm not normally a huge fic reader (I know, I'm weird!) but I actually consumed a TON of Geraskier fics after I started shipping them. The only thing is because I'm kind of late to the fandom, most of the fics I've read are better known (as that's where I've had to start). Sorry if the recs aren’t that groundbreaking, but I’m always happy to note some stories that I love.

I love basically any Geraskier work by sospes (ao3), in particular To Sleep Perchance To, The Public Perception of the Barding Profession, The Song of the White Wolf, and Unspoken. Note the warnings on these fics, some of them deal with noncon.

I adored The Painter by United where Geralt tries to track down Jaskier after he hears a new song by our favorite bard. The song itself is so lovely and just the fic in general is a huge joy to read, and the scene where Geralt hears Jaskier play the song in person lives in my head rent free.

The One My Soul Cries Out For by @whispered-story. This is a great soulmate AU and really recommend it for anyone who wants to be kicked in the stomach by a fic. I also really liked their fics Yet Always Back Returning to Those First Feelings and The Hand of Destiny That Was Guiding Us Together.

The Witcher Wolf and the companion The Witcher Wolf 2: Geralt's POV by @im-fairly-whitty​ were a really fun read. Not a trope I expected to love so much, but Geralt as a nice wolf is absolutely adorable.

I honestly had never heard of Hanahaki disease until this fandom, but surprisingly loved several of the fics I read with that: A Dandelion By Any Other Name by @asmolbirb, Fill My Lungs (With Sweetness) by WednesdaysDaughter (ao3), and Bearing the will of the flower by Solshine (ao3).

 A Blessing, A Curse by aileenrose (ao3) is an awesome fic that explores Jaskier leaving on the mountain as if it were a djinn wish, and man does it HURT for a bit. I also really love Another Time, Again which is an amazing amnesia fic where Jaskier tries to help Geralt recover his memories.

Truth of The Heart by CosmicOcelot (ao3) explores post 01x06 while diving into “missing moments” from Jaskier and Geralt’s travels together, all while Geralt works to save Jaskier from an incubus who has stolen his memories. It’s really poignant and well done.

Want a cute fix-it fic about Jaskier and Geralt making up and going to the coast? Then I think you’ll love Though I Try Not To by @drowningbydegrees.

An ode to Valdo Marx by Beginte (ao3) showcases Geralt parkouring to the worst possible conclusions like a champ. I love silly misunderstandings that get resolved quickly and end happily, and this fic delivers.

I love so many of the Geraskier fics by lesdemonium (winnerstick) (ao3), particularly My Heart, I'd Be the Choiceless Hope, and Everything.

Oidhche (Night) by darkmagess (ao3) is a difficult fic because it address the aftermath of a brutal noncon assault, but the writing is gorgeous and it’s very much worth reading.

home is nowhere, therefore you by @et-in-arkadia is a lovely fairytale style fic that features True Love’s Kiss, and I love it.

I’m only a third of the way or so through my bookmarks at this point, so I’m going to stop, but happy to chat off anon for more recs if you would like :) I also might just compile a full rec list that I can share going forward.

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

Knowing that you do amazing every single time when it comes to recommendations, I'm looking for fics that hit home how fucked up what Kate Argent did to Derek was. I've read a couple that just missed by a hair to encompass what I was looking for. Like Derek feeling safe and close enough with his pack to finally mention the seducing part only for the pack to worriedly point out how abhorrent that she did that on top of everything else is. The pack worriedly and frantically making sure he knows it doesn't matter if he is a guy, pointing out he was 16 and she was 21. The pack reminding him he is loved, thanking him for being so open about this and Derek coming to terms that it's not his fault!!!! Friendship bonding between Derek and Allison would be a stellar bonus. I know there are a lot of great fics out there. I just want the right balance of enough whump/hurt but so much more comfort/support and verifiable happy ending even if that is just progress in the healing process.

I don't know if these fit exactly. It sounds like you should try and write this fic! I'd read it.

Leave The Trauma Behind Us (it's okay to not be okay) by FluffyAzzy

(1/1 I 1,197 I Teen I Sterek)

A trigger: A trigger in psychology is a stimulus such as a smell, sound, or sight that triggers feelings of trauma.

;

In other words, ash has a very prominent smell and a very traumatic event linked to it. And Derek is definitely not okay.

But sometimes that in itself is okay.

Gently by darkmagess

(1/1 I 2,547 I Teen I No Pairing)

Having already confided in Stiles once about his past assaults, Derek comes to him again, this time to talk about Kate.

9. Fire Away by brokenes

(1/1 I 4,992 I Teen I Sterek)

When hunters take Derek back to his family house, he struggles to shake the ghosts of the past. No one seems to be more aware of his struggles than Stiles, so he asks him if he is okay, until his response finally changes, and he breaks. But Stiles is there, so maybe he can be okay again.

Big Bad Wolf by Nival_Vixen

(9/9 I 11,758 I Mature I Sterek)

Stiles knows that someone needs and trusts him, and it's not his father or Scott - it's Derek.

After he discovers that Kate's kidnapped Derek, Stiles tracks him down, and with the help of the pack, Stiles gets his big bad wolf back.

Fully Grown by thedaughterofkings

(13/13 I 36,305 I Teen i Sterek)

The pup smells of summer, of heat in the air, lightning in the sky.

No amount of growling sends him running; he just keeps standing there, staring. He's no threat though, smells of sparks but not of fire, no taste of ashes on the tongue.

Satisfied, he turns around, leaving the pup behind, ignoring the acid scent of anxiety and fear that suddenly fills the air.

~*~

Stumbling across a wolf in the preserve is not what Stiles expects when he goes for a run the last night before school starts again. But even if the wolf acts more intelligent than a mere animal, he can’t have anything to do with Stiles’ unusual soulmark, four vicious scratches down his forearm, can he?

And what is Kate Argent doing back in Beacon Hills for the first time since the Hale Fire?

[valdomarx]

You’re the royal of fic recs, so I was wondering if you had any geraskier recs set in Kaer Morhen? 😊 I love your blog and all you do for us hopeless geraskier shippers, giving us a little light in the world.

Aww thank you! I’d be delighted to share some geraskier at Kaer Morhen recs:

One Blessing by Jana_C  (especially big rec for this one, I enjoyed it tremendously and still think about it often)

Madainn (Morning) by darkmagess

Adopted By Love Interest's Family bywinnerstick @lesdemonium

his sweet kiss by witchertrashbag @witchertrashbag (this one is jaskier/all the witchers, including geralt, but that’s just a bonus as far as i’m concerned)

Tactile by letmetellyouaboutmyfeels

Hunt Me Down by round_robin @round--robin (jaskier/witchers, horny in the best possible way)

[samstree]

33? 14? If I can pick 2?

Of course you can! I can talk about good fics for a very long time ;)

33: Hawthorn by darkmagess

Hawthorn beloved! Geralt tries to apologize with acts of service, followed by plant love language and tender d/s dynamics. One of the classics. I recommend the same author's other works too!

14: a light through the fog by Shinybug

It's one I haven't read, but everything by this author is so so good. Do check out this one if you like sentinel/guide AUs.

send me a number (out of 318) for a bookmarked fic 🎀

[officialthiamlibrary]

is there any campimg/campire/wilderness thiam fic? thanks(:

Here are some of our favorites!

Damn, I need a vacation! by Little_Betawolfies_Chimera (Not Rated | Complete | 1.8K) Tags: Songfic, American Football Player Theo Raeken, Thiam at the beach, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Theo First Person POV Summary: Theo and Liam have a camping trip to the beach. Liam came up with the idea after Theo confessed that he needs a vacation. A Peek Inside: "Damn, I need a vacation!", I thought as I sat down on the barstool in the kitchen of Liam's house. School and everything that's going on with the hunters got me pretty exhausted. I rested my head in my hands and closed my eyes tiredly. Vacation was never an option when I lived with the Dread Doctors. So I really wanted to visit the ocean someday. I've seen so many pictures of it, but I never saw it in real life. Maybe I should ask Liam to come with me? It would be fun

Burn by darkmagess (General | Complete | 1.9K) Tags: Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Banter Summary: 6x16 coda. After escaping from the hunters at the zoo, Theo and Liam camp out. Liam asks a question he's been wondering about for some time. A Peek Inside: Theo keeps driving. If they’d been followed, he’s fairly sure he’d have seen headlights trailing them into the twilight. Liam’s exit strategy, such as it was, called for looping back before leaving the zoo to gather up whatever camping gear they could salvage and heading to the woods make real use of it, to give the hunters a false trail and the impression that they’d found the whole pack and let them slip away. Theo hadn’t managed to salvage much. Just a few sleeping bags and pillows. But the rest of the idea seemed sound.

Do Over by LI0NH34RT (Teen | Complete | 1.2K) Tags: Honeymoon, Autumn Feels Summary: Thiam goes camping for their honey moon and everything goes wrong so they try to recreate it on their one year anniversary. Aka a tooth rottingly fluffy autumn story. A Peek Inside: “Talk to me, baby, why are you so upset?” He sounded so helpless that Liam couldn't hold up his silent facade any longer, with one fluent movement he turned around in his husband's arms and pulled him into a tight hug. “I am so sorry", Liam all but whispered. “But for what?” “This", Liam swallowed around the lump in his throat, “this was supposed to be the perfect honeymoon. Just you and I, in this tent and a campfire under the stars. It was supposed to be everything you want.”

Chaotic Disaster Part One by Maryse2311 (Not Rated | Complete | 784) Tags: Liam is a disaster, Theo is also a disaster, Angst Summary: Liam irreparably harms his friendship with Theo. Or does he? P.S. No, of course he doesn't. He's just an idiot. A Peek Inside: Liam looked up at him from across the fire. Suddenly he couldn't hold back. "I need to tell you something. It's just really hard and terrifying." Theo stood up, moving around the fire to take a seat next to his friend, who looked so nervous, he feared he might pass out. "Whatever it is, it can't be more terrifying than what we've already been through together." He placed a hand on Liam's back. Then Liam did something neither had expected.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light by ExtraSteps (Explicit | Complete | 8.3K) Tags: Smut, turning into wolves Summary: Liam needs to get away from the pack for some peace and quiet. Theo decides he needs company. A Peek Inside: Some might say that spending New Year’s Eve on your own was sad, pathetic even, but Liam found that he couldn't care less. The last thing he had felt like doing last night was being around other people. So, he had packed his swag into his car, grabbed enough supplies to last a few days, and driven as far into the preserve as he could and still have enough petrol to return. He had found a clearing near the cliff face that overlooked Beacon Hills and set himself up with a small campfire, listening to the crackle of the flames consuming the wood as he stared up at the starry night sky. From all the way up here, he had had a perfect view of the fireworks that had rung in the new year.

The Only Thing Theo Kept From Beacon Hills by TVTime (Teen | Complete | 1.2K) Tags: Protective Theo Raeken, proposal Summary: Theo tightened his arm around Liam's shoulders and nuzzled his face in his hair. He kissed the space just above Liam’s ear and hummed with contentment. Liam sighed and turned his body sideways, deeper into Theo's embrace as they stared up at the stars and the breathtaking display lain out before them. Liam. Theo hadn't left Beacon Hills all those years ago because he had owed Liam for resurrecting him, for saving him from his personal hell and giving him the opportunity to do something good with his life. It seemed fitting that his new purpose had been protecting Liam – from the Ghost Riders, from the hunters, from himself. But as Theo had left the hospital that fateful night after the Anuk-Ite chapter of their lives had ended, he felt a new sense of freedom and purpose. He didn't feel obligated to Liam anymore; he felt affection toward him, friendship. And that had given him the strength to say goodbye. A Peek Inside: Two days after the Anuk-Ite was defeated Theo left Beacon Hills for good – his own.

You’ve Got A Friend by tabbytabbytabby (Teen | Complete | 3.4K) Tags: Pack bonding Summary: The pack goes on a camping trip as a way to reconnect. It works a lot better than Theo was expecting. A Peek Inside: He’s surprised when Liam comes running into his room the night before the trip and frowns as he looks around, “Where are your bags?” “My bags?” Theo asks, glancing over at his boyfriend. “What bags?” “For the trip!” Liam says, “You know, the one we’re going on in the morning.”

Desolate by glittercake (Explicit | Complete | 60K) Tags: Slow burn, alpha Liam, guilt, fluff and smut, panic attacks Summary: Liam involuntarily becomes an Alpha. He refuses accept the new wolf and instead runs away, leaving Beacon Hills behind, and takes to a small cabin in the Colorado mountains for refuge, mostly from himself. He subdues the alpha wolf in him... Until one day when he has absolutely no choice but to let it out. A Peek Inside: He pulled the pot from the fire, freshly baked bread inside, and filled his mug with orange juice. There’s only one chair at his small table, one of everything, reminding himself that he is in fact very alone, there’s no one for him to hurt or to let down. As far as he knew they’re all safe in Beacon Hills and for all they knew he was dead. And that in itself was much more comforting than reality. The wolf inside always chose the most inopportune moments to remind Liam of what he’d done. Bread should have no significant meaning but yet, as he butters the one side, watching it melt and seep into the dough, it starts….
