#fics transcending time

[fanaticsnail]

All this picturing Benn Beckman on the cover of a bodice-ripper has reminded me that my very sweet grandma wrote some bodice-rippers of her own....

Just imagie a young gingerbread girly visting her grandma's house and looking up on the wall and seeing these wonderful posters hung up:

It was great and may have awoken all this simping over men who very much belong on these wounderful covers in me 😂

I thought I would share a few of the covers for everyone's viewing pleasure!!

Have a great day/night!!

GRANDMOTHER GINGERNUT, YOU BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just picturing a small Gingernut girly skipping up the steps of her grandmother's cottage to bring baked pastries and sweets - only to find her Grandmother hunched over a writing desk and crafting smutty literature.

I am screaming Gingernut. I am actually screaming.

How special that your talent has been founded by generations of powerful women. This is spectacular lore, and I am so grateful you shared it with me.

(Beckman as the third cover, though)

@feral-artistry @i-am-vita LOOK! LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE. LOOOOOOOOK.

Time Management by @anthemxix @gintrinsic-writing and @lyrabythelake is kinda like being on a little crack/angst roller coaster. My brain had to recalibrate every two paragraphs and I loved every second of it. I definitely recommend reading it if you haven’t already!

thinking about this underrated panel (id in alt) that comes just before the couch scene

vash, in his comfort pose (bent knees, hugging himself, toes up), being loud and over the top with his speach, saying they should get on the ship as if that would somehow save wolfwood. forcing this facade because he can't do anything, he couldn't do a single thing since the moment he touched wolfwood and knew he was dying. the denial levels are through the roof and he's aware

wolfwood's absolutely devastated but calm expression. because he knows exactly why vash acts this way and he's so so sorry he has to die on him. but he can't stop it. he's already a dead man walking, but he will spend his last minutes pretending he's not

both don't say it. they never acknowledge that wolfwood is in fact dying out loud. they both say literally anything else and joke and bicker in the next panels, because they already know what's going to happen after they have this drink. so instead, they pretend it's going to be just a normal hangout. just so they don't have to say goodbye

Two weekends of work later, and I've finally finished my hardcover version of @flying-guinea-pig's So You Want To Be A Demonologist! I've never bound a book before, so this was definitely a new experience for me, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Edit: lmao I lied about being done. Here's the updated version.

When the author won’t give him a break so you have to draw him happy /lh

nothing to me will ever be more iconic than my beloved mutual managing to get me so invested in a (rarepair) ship for a media i had no previous interaction with that i was actively making my own headcanons abt their potential relationship dynamic and making song associations and engaging in others’ brainrot for months before i ever even considered getting in to said media. and now a year later i’m finally writing fic for them but still know next to nothing abt what they’re like in canon cause i still haven’t made it to that part of the story, the memories of the shared delusion are genuinely the only thing keeping me going.

[sundays-mutt]

the genuine excitement i feel about bakugous birthday is so silly but i love that guy

Fanfiction as a time loop. No, not the Groundhog Day fic trope. Fanfiction is itself the same characters written and rewritten within a set time period over and over again to try and meet the perfect conclusion, only for every attempt to be reset by the forward march of the original work. The fulfilment that should end the loop is bulldozed by the alarm clock of the next chapter release denying everything you might have imagined taking place.

something 2 be said about romances in the public eye ... Wahh

Chapters: 1/1 Summary:

One shot.

"Along the counters by the sink were other baskets. Majority were just leaves, which Yuu deduced were herbs but there was a smaller basket of pure white berries with a little red center sticking out from where the stem had been. Yuu tilted their head but no equivalent in their world popped into mind."

In where Yuu sees a strange berry they've never seen before and their first thought is "I'm going to eat that". (Yuu has weird alien biology. No one knew until this moment.)

Hello everyone!

Yesterday I wasn’t happy with this fic so today I took some time to fix things up and now I’m happy with it!

Alien biology is an idea I’ve talked about with ObscureReference (my friend and cowriter) for FE Fates Awakening Trio. I love it so much that I decided it would be fun to transplant onto Yuu. I hope you enjoy this fic!

What is cue the sun? 👀

I need you to know I am kissing you on the mouth rn (platonically) -- I've been rotating this plot in the microwave since like. mid-august.

It's transcendence au (obvi) but here's the basic hook:

The year is 7098. The last Mizar (Fang Wu -- and shoutout to aba_daba_do for making a kickass OC) has been dead for four years now, and Alcor has been MIA for about the same amount of time. In their absence, the North American continent has broken out into a full-on, cross-continental war, with the main players being the Greater Austinian Monopoly (formerly known as Texas) and the Alaskadian Collective (Alaska, plus some parts of Canada and north-eastern Russia).

In a last-ditch effort to find some long-forgotten piece of magical information that could win the war, Alaskadian scientist Fatima Tursynbekova (an r!Ford) is sent to the abandoned site of what used to be Gravity Falls, accompanied by her troubled teenage daughter Olya (an r!Gideon). They're expecting to find little more than scant remnants of a town that was razed to the ground over thirty years before -- not much better than an archaeological expedition if anything.

However, what they find instead is a thriving small town -- the inhabitants of which are all completely and utterly convinced that it's the year 2016 (feat. the OG Mystery Twins and an extremely sus Stan Pines).

Anyways blah blah blah romance, secrecy, interpersonal drama but COME LOOK AT THE MAP I MADE I spent entirely too much time on it and I've been dying to share:

(Plus better quality image link for if tumblr steals all my pixels)

I should've told you about...

“Yeah, you probably should have,” they say. “We could’ve helped you. We know you like we know ourselves.”

I didn’t want to burden you with it.

“Burden? When are you ever a burden, rancher? You use that word a lot. Love isn’t a burden.”

You loved me.

“Always.”

What do you mean, always?

“Even if we didn’t know it yet, we loved you. We loved each other, all of us. One soul. One heart. Across time. Isn’t that something? A thousand years in the future, there’s someone that remembers you when they dig their hands in the earth and hum while they do it. A thousand years in the past, there’s someone that does a double-take in a market because they thought they heard your voice. It’s just a bunch of little souvenir forevers, isn’t it.”

your soul in blatchery plain | tundra vow | "wanna know a secret?" | goodbyes on star-grass | garden of heroes | the lusher the cradle, the lusher the grave

and still, the cradle blossoms: a fic about falling in love but make it familial and heartbreaking, but worth it to have loved and lost than not loved at all
