#fic: theaa

[thisishowgalaxiescollide]

You're honestly so close to getting me into nico/jack it isn't even funny anymore 😂

Anyway, if you're willing, give me the final push there and/or your fave fic (if you're reading any). I know I am tempting fate here but... Yolo. 😌 I accept it.

Come, friend, to the dark side. no, seriously, though, they make me ridiculously happy. Like, we don't have to do anything as a fandom because they already do the gay and the loving for us.

I must confess I haven't been reading much lately because work and life have been complicated enough to keep me from doing much more than reblogging a few things here and there. BUT my past self used to read, so I have a few treats for you, <3

1386 fic rec list

Melt the ice, by theaa

Summary:

So, like—was he just not supposed to notice, or—?

So, so, so good!

Caveat Emptor, by Kerfluffle

Summary:

Two months of advance preparation—memorizing detailed building blueprints, stalking specialists on LinkedIn, reading The $12 Million Stuffed Shark—and Nico gets fucked over by his turtleneck. Or, Nico lands himself in hot water after a recon mission goes awry.

Delightful and sweet.

50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, by Kerfluffle

Summary:

Unlike some supernatural disasters, theirs starts ordinary—with a harmless bar bet.

Fluffy, horny and funny. Great characterization.

kiss me on the mouth (set me free), by coastalhighway

Summary:

Headlights as bright as Jack’s should be illegal, probably. Nico locks the door behind him - three twists, one two three - and counts his steps to the car. He gets to twenty-seven and opens the door, and Jack smiles at him, sharp as a razor’s edge. He smells like smoke. “You good, baby?” he says, and Nico wonders if he tastes like smoke, too. Smoke and lies and broken mirrors, a nasally voice whispers in his ear, breath hot on his cheek. You broke the mirror, soothsayer, sweet-talker. Liar, liar. Nico sits down in the passenger seat. “Drive.” Jack doesn’t bother asking questions. He drives.

Gorgeous. Jack calling Nico "baby" has me !!!

deep into that darkness, by countthestars

Summary:

Quinn’s whole thing is talking to the dead, but Jack’s gift is dealing with the living.

Amazing. Quinn needs a nap and jack is a brat. I love him a lot.

Double Play, by dilangley

Summary:

This is minor league baseball, long days in little towns no one’s ever heard of playing games no one will remember once the lights go out.

This one blew my mind and broke my heart simultaneously even though I know nothing about baseball.

sense of expectation, by greenteam

Summary:

“No, no, hear me out on this…” Jack’s mind is running a million miles a minute as he tries to compile his thoughts into something even vaguely coherent. “I don’t have to go out and find someone new to be in family photos who I know I’m gonna turn around and dump the next week. And you get a free invite to the Hollywood wedding of the century.” Nico looks pensive as he lounges back on the sheets. “I think Ellen would give me an invite anyway.” Jack facewashes him for that. (or: 5 +1 plus ones)

Adorable.

won’t believe half the things i see inside my head, by rafting

Summary:

Jack can’t perfectly shift into anyone anyway; he has to concentrate and base his shifts on what he’s seen, what he knows of someone else’s face and body. So he’s never a perfect copy, often missing freckles or getting the hair or eye shades slightly off. He can’t shift his own dick into someone else’s if he’s never seen it, which is what most guys want to know. He thinks he’s got Nico’s face down pretty well. He’s spent enough time looking at it by now. or, the USNTDP is a program designed to help mutant hockey players control their powers, and Jack’s a shapeshifter who is starting to suspect Nico can read his mind.

Very interesting concept.

take the wheel, by greenteam

Summary:

Nico rakes a hand through his hair. “I just worry. That’s my job. You drive, I worry.” “I thought your job was to fix,” Jack says instead of doing something stupid like kissing Nico.

Just !!!

The tag is thriving, though, so I've probably only scratched the surface. I need to get go back and start reading again. One day soon.

huh, I read superposition and no envy & no fear by theaa and the tumblr link in the description goes to your blog, sorry if this was a case of blog urls changing or something!

SCREAMMMM i have to say in my entire decade long tumblr career i have never encountered someone who had my url before but apparently the previous owner of my url is writing fic because that is very much not me 😭😭😭 sorry to disappoint!!!

[phdmama]

📚🍬🥤

Thank you pal!! xox

📚 ⇢ what's the last thing you wrote down in your notes app? 

Oooo huh. Lemme look.

A rough draft of this poem - which, honestly, I am not super thrilled with it. Might want to rework it!

🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

Imma be real with you pal, I *heavily* curate my dash for my own fandom experience so I'm pretty sure I'm completely out of the loop wrt to unpopular opinions about any of my beloved blorbos! I really work hard to fling myself into love and joy and let other people do their thing (and you know, if it happens to often I just unfollow and move along haha!).

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

OH MY GOD WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN?????

it is perhaps no secret that I've fallen deep down the hockey rabbit hole, both with real life and with hrpf, and I'm having an absolute blast. If that's your thing, I would highly HIGHLY highly recommend:

@donderwolkenblog (I can't even tell you how many times I've read in the honey and how much I love it, also everything else they wrote pretty much)

theaa on AO3 (we're the heirs to the glimmering world is GORGEOUS)

@notthequiettype knows how VERY STRONGLY I feel about their writing (how to cherish your own shadow KILLS ME ALL THE TIME and I've read like it. So many times. AND ALSO THEIR STEREK OMG)

thehoyden on AO3 has written some massively popular fics and they deserve it - gorgeous writing

same for turningterrific - gorgeous fic (they also wrote one of my all time sterek fics too)

like for real, I can give you a LOT of recs as I've really... err... .yeah. Read some stuff.

thanks for the ask!! xox

Writers Truth & Dare Ask Game

[grittyreadsfic]

what's up my pals my reading this month was uhhhhhhh unhinged? clearly i'm doing, based on the number of found family fics i have read and the fact that i reread both cut to the feeling and once more with feeling this month, rip 2 me everyone

but anyway, must reads for this month:

-i know i was yours long before you were mine by sensationalshehulk is such a fun little nate bastian/mikey mcleod fic. absolutely love the premise (marriage clause!!!!!) and the vibes and the way the team all tries to help keep these two together even when scattered across the globe, very sweet

-it's hard to be a saint in the city by theaa was a super compelling jack hughes/nolan patrick fic. i loved this characterization of jack so much, and i really think the fic made this ship work, made it compelling and engaging and it's fun read

-tragic ends by trueneutral is an absolutely lovely quinton byfield/alex turcotte ghost/haunted house fic. it takes a certain something for me to enjoy a fic around a ghost, and this has it. really cool world building, the dynamic between quinton and alex is perfect, and i got SO emotional reading it

dig it when you're fancy dressed up in lace, dig it when you have a smile on your face by theaa

jamie drysdale/trevor zegras (ducks) | 5,7k | mature

A month ago, when the random woman gave Jamie her card at the Mall, Trevor was too busy being pissed their pre-movie hang was being rudely interrupted.

rec comments: i felt truly called out by the “nearly 6k about jamie’s freckles” tag bc it was bc of that tag that i immediately opened up this fic. anyways. this is a good college au about jamie wearing fancy things as a model and trevor going full gay panic about it and i loved it - @pattyrosyteeks​

Yes. I think Jamie/Trevor is one of my fave pairings I like to read in a college AU set up, don’t know why it suite them well. Loved Trevor being all sad because Jamie couldn’t hang with him and being worried about his work/life/health balance and stuff. And perfect ending, obviously. - @macknnons

Ao3 year in review

Thanks to @zeegras for the tag!

Fics posted: 8 (well, 7 + 1 on anon)

Word count: 43,782

i’ve already said this five million times but i’m going to say it again lol i really have no idea how i wrote that many words, let alone found the courage to post them on the internet but here we are and it’s a real nice place to be

Most kudos: a little heads up, and it might be my favorite thing that i wrote this year, so feel its deserved haha and thanks to theaa’s wonderful prompting or i probably would never have attempted to write the three of them together 

Longest: keep the lanterns lit, i’m so proud that i even finished this, it was a struggle to keep the momentum through some life stuff that came up, but i’m happy i finished and posted it and that my last tk/patty fic is a lil soft thing bc i’m not sure i’ll be writing anything more for them for a bit

Shortest: innocence and fucking gucci, lmao fever dream mitch/harry styles my beloved, thanks to v for the inspirational tags, it was so much fun to write a self-indulgent lil one shot

Personal favorite: okay i already said it was a little heads up, but i’m going to choose another one because it feels nice to talk positively about my writing and i also really love somewhere west of wherever because it’s the rarest of pairs and it was so satisfying to make dylan and patty come together in a plausible way and also i got to write one of my favorite tropes of sleeping with one person to process a relationship with someone else

2022 goals/expectations: i don’t have any particular goals for the year, the reason i was so prolific (for me) the last year and a half was because i was un/under employed and i’m still trying to find the balance with writing for fun after writing for work all day. so i’m not putting any pressure on myself, but i would like to do at least one exchange fest, and finish at least one of my languishing wips and if i post at least two things this year i’m going to call it a success!

if you have not done this and wish to, consider yourself tagged :)

FanFic Writer Questions

Shut the fuck up I could cry. Thank you so much to all these LOVELY, AMAZING, TALENTED people who tagged me: @jboobies @priestess-of-artemis @vivilove-jonsa @kittykatknits

Please answer the following questions and tag 5 friends!

1) Which current fic(s) are you excited about at the moment?

There are so many. Gaaahh. (In no particular order) 

- This Little Light of Mine by Abbyli

- Catch Her If You Can by @kittykatknits

- A Match by @vivilove-jonsa

- Hysteria by Janina

2) Which older/finished fic(s) would you recommend and why?

- I Want Some More by @jboobies (Jeanettesc on AO3) *a CLASSIC

- Suit and Tie Undercover (he’s gonna save my life like superman) by Theaa 

- And All This Devotion, I Never Knew At All by lit_chick08

3) Can you remember the first Jonsa fic you read?

I started up last August and the first two I read and obsessed over were:

- Lost and Found by Janina

- A City of Fortune and Failure by @just_a_dram

4) Are there any writers that you think deserve more kudos/comments/general acknowledgement of awesomeness?

This is so hard!! There are so many great writers I don’t want to leave anyone out. I love pouring over some Jonsa fics and here are a few of my favs @lathwell55 @priestess-of-artemis @vivilove-jonsa @kittykatknits @jboobies @myrish-lace-love @rusalkkas @buttercup--bee

-Questions for the writers only-

5) What about your writing are you particularly proud of? (A certain fic? Your style? A specific paragraph or prose?) - Come on - don’t be humble! Shout about your talents!

Geesh, this is kinda uncomfortable hahah. But I am proud of myself when I can write some angst that makes everyone all wild in the comments. It feels nice to be able to tell a story that gets a reaction from people. 

6) What do you admire about other writers?

Their talent for being able to sometimes make their stories even better than canon. 

7) Do you listen to music whilst you write?

ALWAYS. I have specific playlists I make for it. (I’d be willing to share if any of you care lol)

Thanks again for tagging me! I LOVE being a part of this fandom and on AO3. I’d tag people but I think this is pretty old and I’ve seen a lot of others share. I also suck at realizing who is who from AO3. 

So feel free to do this and if you’d like- you can say I tagged ya. Lots of love to all my lil jonsa babies

We could kiss and just cut the rubbish by theaa

matty beniers/brendan brisson (kraken/golden knights) | 2,3k | mature

Outside, the music is a steady booming thump, low bass leaking through the screen door. Matty’s kicked back on one of the deck chairs, a can of beer loose in his fingers, out on the porch alone.

rec comments: i truly cannot wait until we get more briss in rpf but until then i will just savor any little bits we do get. and if you’ve never seen the picture in the header there’s a link to it in the fic summary and its a treat so i suggest checking it out. anyways, this is short and sweet and i loved it - @pattyrosyteeks​

The mentionned pic alone should warrant tons of fics for them. Loved both of them in this and the whole mood around them. What they have, what’s coming but not easy to thing about because a little sad maybe, you know, sweet. - @macknnons

travis konecny/nolan patrick (flyers) | 18k | teen

From: t.konecny@makeanassist.org Subject: Make An Assist Team Representative To: npatrick19@flyers.net Hi Nolan,

Firstly, congratulations on the start of the season! The opener against the Penguins was incredible!

Secondly, I was passed your email address by the Flyers front office. We’re so happy to hear you’ve expressed an interest in being the team representative for Make An Assist. We have a whole host of opportunities lined up for the coming months and we’d love to more fully explain the ways in which we envision your involvement going forwards...

That's not the reason why Nolan volunteered for the charity shit, though. It’s not like, to fill a gap, or whatever.

rec comments: okay so i don’t read a lot of non-explicit fic bc mostly i’m here for the hot and steamy bits BUT this years flyers fic exchange has me branching out a bit. this one is very sweet. patty working with kids is just such a dream of mine - @pattyrosyteeks
