Scarian Fic Recs

another one! again, pls mind the tags...

❥ you are here to risk your heart by sillyfairygarden [T, 6k]

Sometimes he thinks he’s the only one playing their little game, in the end. Scar is seemingly always a step beyond wherever he expects him to be–something Grian can easily admit, despite his peckish pride–and Grian will be a fool if he lets himself forget this.

❥ love is blind by Maggiee24 [T, 6.5k]

It was love at first sight. Well not literally, he was legally blind after all, but Grian did have a massive crush on his neighbour. Now all he needed was for Scar to get the memo and sweep him off his feet. What could go wrong?

❥ wherefore art thou scar? by zipzapzoooooom [T, 4.6k]

Grian is cast as Juliet and Scar is cast as Romeo as they rehearse the balcony scene oh no I wonder what could possibly happen

❥ somewhere between the surface and the seabed by LovesickPrince [T, 25k]

It's a classic tale of love: Grian, a mer from the depths of the sea, makes a deal with a sea witch to exchange his voice for a pair of legs and go visit the human whose life he had saved. Only in this case, Grian is more interested in the sea witch than the human.

❥ fumble to fable by chapter_61 [T, 10.5k]

When a visit to Disneyland leaves Grian fifth-wheeling his friends, he’s glad to find some respite on his own—until a smooth-talking Disney Imagineer comes crashing into his life.

❥ starboy by mariuspunmercy [M, 139k]

Scar's first thought is, Oh god, he’s beautiful. Or, after winning the Formula 2 championship, Scar lands a seat in F1. He ends up with a lot more than he bargained for when he forms a friendship with the mysterious driver from Sahara.

[ineffableclassics]

The year is 1809. Crowley’s friend Jane is a master smuggler of both goods and information who seems to know exactly who people are and how they act. She asks Crowley’s help with a larger robbery she has been planning, and Crowley agrees without hesitation. Meanwhile Aziraphale has been helping her friend, a brilliant author Miss Austen revise her novel manuscripts in the hopes that they could one day be published for the wider audiences. Aziraphale finds the books witty, innovative character studies of British gentry, but getting a romance novel written by a woman published in the early 1800s would take a real miracle.

When Aziraphale accompanies Jane to a ball, they run into Crowley, and all three are surprised by the other two being acquainted. Although the angel and the demon are happy to not poke further into each other’s businesses with Miss Austen, Jane seems to be convinced her two friends are in the middle of a great love story like from one of her novels and need some encouragement to admit their true feelings.

[abandonedshops]

PLEASE recommend me FICTIONAL podcasts/audio dramas !!!! i go through >8hrs hours of audio media a day at work and the backlog is thinning out again. and the more niche the better because I've listened to most of the popular ones. even if it's short it's always nice to add to the list

bonuses:

- mystery/murder themed

- narrator has a nice/non-shrill voice/good audio quality

- not true crime/'true story reenacted"/etc (BUT fictional stories pretending to be true crime is a+)

Had to laugh when I got randomly matched with my spouse for MEBB. I guess my taste in pairings has rubbed off on him. It's a fun postwar eventual smut read. Love exploring the new normal fics!

[anarcho-masochist]

I just found out someone wrote a whole academic article on one of the most interesting aspects of Psycho-Pass (the paper itself is from 2022). It's free, I just finished it, and now I want other people to read it. I have Opinions on this.

(loved from the sidelines fyi)

-slowburn, mutual pining, no quirks preferably, dorm shenanigans, drinking, bakugou being down bad, i rlly like first person but that isn’t required, long fic too if possible, aged up but still at UA so like 18, enemies>lovers or just friends>lovers but i don’t like the ones where they don’t know eachother previously, angst, i wanna cry my eyes out and also smile like a fool while reading it, from both their perspectives would also be preferred if possible.

ok that’s all. i’m picky i’m sorry PLS HELP

What's your favorite story so far that you've written

Geeeez, Zzz Anon, you have no idea how much I love you right now. You literally cannot imagine how much I’ve wanted to someone to ask me this. Sending you all the virtual smooches. But you have opened a can of worms and I shall yap. You’ve been warned.

So just to give the straight answer right away for those who don’t wish to read the yap, so far my favorite fic that I’ve written is the Fire Dildo fic where the Dragon finds a fairy in the forest and makes a dildo out of his fire breath.

I literally have no idea why I love it so much. But I do. It’s my absolute favorite, nothing compares in my heart lmao.

If you love wild and unique stories (with a lot of smut) then make sure to stick around. Because there is so much more wack and fun twists on monsters to come.

Yap is belowww the cut!!!

But in general, my favorite fics are the ones that are absolutely wacky. Just random but interesting. Like my #1 fav. But also like my Dragon fic where he thinks reader will hatch an egg for him. Or my recent Monster Harem fic that has the most random collection of monsters. The fic I wrote where reader was chained up during the full moon instead of the Werewolf. And basically everything about the bird hybrids x dance instructor!reader. But especially the fic about the Mistaken Eggs.

Then my secondary batch of favorites (geez I sound full of myself but whatever), are ones that I was happy with myself for thinking of. For instance, my most popular fic the Vampire cockwarming. Everyone loves that last line and so do I. The banter in my Werewolf/Vampire Marking fic makes me so happy. The dialogue and plot in the Leashed Werewolf fic I loved writing it, super fun. Then in the CEO Bull Hybrid spanking fic I get so giddy at their interaction at the end.

So yeah!! That would also be my recommendations for which fics to read given they’re my favorites :)

HEY ! okay so this is rlly random but i was wondering if u had any book .. well really any piece of media that has to do with ur interests and the ships you like? ik u get stuff from the bible and etc but i need more content of Jonathan and David , you have me invested.  😭

Heheh! You have come to the right place!

First of all, the book that truly put me in a chokehold is The Prince's Psalm by Eric Shaw Quinn.

I was hooked and read it in less than a week. I think it's really well written in both storytelling and character development.

Then we have Beloved King: A Queer Bible Musical by J. Sylvan. Right now, there is only a demo with 6 songs. But I'm really eager for it to get a full release one day.

Then we have the opera David et Jonathas by Charpentier! I know it's an opera, but seriously, it's really good, and I'm gonna be honest, the song when Jonathan dies made me ugly cry. It's an opera, so they play heavily on the tropes. Jonathan plays the almost feminine damsel and David is the hero. Saul is the over protective/paranoid father role.

I do have a much detailed review of these 3 adaptations from my Rating the most gayest King David adaptions. The other movies - adaptations there are for the memes.

Then we have books that I haven't read but want to: The Secret Chord by Geraldine Brooks and How Are the Mighty Fallen by Thomas Burnett Swann. I know that How Are the Mighty Fallen portrays David and Jonathan's relationship as romantic, but I'm not so sure about The Secret Chord. In case you are interested, you could take a look?

I also recommend non-fiction works such as Jacob's Wound: Homoerotic Narrative in the Literature of Ancient Israel by Theodore W. Jennings Jr. This book focuses on ancient Canaanite culture and narrative storytelling, explaining why David and Jonathan would be considered queer in that time. It's really interesting and provides some key details. The author mostly talks about the dynamics between David/Jonathan, Samuel/Saul, and Elisha/Elijah. But he also discusses Joseph and his gender nonconformity, as well as Ruth/Naomi.

And this is kind of non-David/Jonathan related, but I do really recommend the podcast It's in the Book: A Queer Bible Podcast. It's by the same person who's making the Beloved King musical. It has only 2 seasons and covers only Genesis, but gosh… I learned so much about queer themes in the Bible that, well, nobody really talks about. Like God having a womb, or Rebecca being called a twink 20 times, or the idea that Joseph and Dinah's souls were switched in the womb, explaining why Joseph is very feminine presenting. It's genuinely a really good podcast.
