hanahaki
closed au developed with @limitlessscion, i would just like to have the details posted on here.
instead of killing him, satoru negotiated with the higher ups to share his life with suguru's, forcing a binding vow tethered to each other with the leash being held by the higher ups. forced to be the dog that suguru didn't want to be, he was giving grueling solo missions back to back, often getting a few hours of sleep a week. he blamed satoru for this selfish decision and would often lash out at him and escalate into full blown fights.
during the brief periods of peace, suguru mistook satoru's actions as him still being in love and wanting to mend their previous relationship when they were teens. satoru rejected, and it made suguru spiral. he contracted the hanahaki disease, took his anger out on suguru in physically and mentally abusive ways, and guilted him into a relationship. the illusion of a happy couple tricked suguru's mind into thinking that the disease subsided, however, the disease got worse, which only meant that satoru didn't love him.
there were frequent violent episodes, all from suguru's part. he was extremely aggressive, cynical, angry, suicidal. there was a nagging thought at the back of his mind that he decided to pursue: if the disease was a curse, how come he couldn't manipulate it out of his body? as if he researched this question, he found that long forgotten deities were real, and that the disease was actually a spirit.
he met with the love deity, the creator of the hanahaki disease, and made a deal with them: he and satoru could prove that what they feel for each other is love in its most purest form, and didn't have to be confined to the barriers of traditionally romantic feelings. they had three years to achieve this, and they did.
once they successfully mended their relationship, they did binding vow with each other, giving the other full access and control over their body and soul. because of the parameters of this vow, their intial one with the higher ups got severed, in which, both of them killed them.
when suguru found out that deities do in fact exist and they weren't curses, he was spiritual enlightened. now, he's searching for more of these higher beings in the pursuit of knowledge.

Whumptober Day 1: Hanahaki AU snippet
Where are you, Doctor, Rogue thinks, staring out into the darkness of the empty dimension. Are you coming for me? Will you make it in time? He wonders if the Doctor is coughing up flowers too, or if it’s something Time Lords pass on, but don’t experience. He wonders if the Doctor is even aware of the bond that’s formed between them - he isn’t sure how psychically strong the Doctor was, after all. It’s possible that he’s got no idea what’s formed between them, that Rogue was just a one night distraction to him. Maybe by now he’s simply forgotten about Rogue and moved on with his life…
A hard lump of flower petals forces itself into his throat at that thought, and Rogue coughs and coughs, trying to hack it up. His throat is raw and his lungs burn when he finally spits out a bough of small pink flowers.
There’s also a few drops of blood that splatter across the ground along with the flowers, but if Rogue chooses to ignore this, it’s not like there’s anyone else here who would call him on it.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗
Oh hi, thanks so much for sending this!
did the twin flame bruise paint you blue aka Break Up AU:
My favorite story of all time is of course my monster of a Silverflint mod au/novel. My pinned post gives a more thorough summary of this extravaganza, but basically: Silver and Flint meet back up at a holiday party a year-ish after a devastating break up and the cycle of heartache and desperate unhealthy codependency begins again.
This took over a year of my life to write, it nearly fuckin killed me lol. it's my greatest accomplishment. Complete with two interlocking timelines, alternating POV, a shitton of introspective kinky porn, doing the hardest parts of original fiction and fanfiction at the same time, and writing an ambiguous ending that feels the way that canon does.
and I nailed it imo. please enjoy the pride of my life (so far!)
the sweetest devotion, hitting me like an explosion aka Cupcakes AU:
Funny, sweet, and sad all at the same time. Mine and @brinnanza's baker Flint and guitarist Silver rom com, complete with an INTENSIVE beat for beat structure that like, god I’m so fucking proud of and was def the precursor for learning how to write Break Up AU.
I love this verse intensely, it holds a special place in my heart. It's basically the only time the boys get a happy ending :P
Also exists in podfic form!
in this garden there’s no feeling aka Hanahaki/flowers au:
Written as a prompt for Beach Blanket Blacks Sails Event in 2021.
This might actually be the piece I’m most proud of from a canon Silver character study angle. I really crawled deep into his head for this (derogatory). It was also VERY VERY difficult technically/structurally. Got to explore the Howell-Silver dynamic the way I always wanted while executing the hanahaki trope in… a very Silver-y way.
This is not for the faint of heart lol.
a stained glass variation of the truth aka the Silver backstory:
Yeah I'm still putting this one. This may be the most deeply personal piece I've written to date. In many ways it's my fucking heart and soul. A character study and a writing exercise, just one potential “what happened to Silver,” by no means a definitive take since that doesn’t exist. But I wrote this to get into his head more, or to have him get into mine maybe lmao, to fully embrace and understand him as a character as much as possible. It was hard, excessively researched, gave me fits, and was fucking PAINFUL EMOTIONALLY lol but I love it to pieces.
Also was the first podfic I ever recorded, if you would rather listen.
sipping on your lips, hanging on by a thread aka Milkingfic:
I talk a lot about John fucking Silver around here, but this story is a full on thorough Captain James Flint brain swizzling. I'm so proud of this character study of Flint as shown through magic freak lactation. Yep you read that right! I made it work and it's fucking brilliant if I do say so myself. Featuring Silverflint becoming partners through strife much earlier, humor, reveling in joyous sensation, and Big Flint Gender Feels.
Oh also, it's really REALLY hot.
--
Thanks for asking! My answers had changed a bit from the last time I did this challenge and it was really validating to see how far I've come since then. Mwah.

12. Royal verse
(Re: part two of fic ideas I’ll never get to)
I have to start by saying I have no business dreaming of this verse cause I know nothing about medieval times nor about royal family/court dynamics. That being said, I did have a dream and I continued the verse in my head. It’s been a while so I probably forgot a lot, here goes!
• it’s gonna be set back in the day with like swords and horses (dragons?) and stuff but I’m making it up as I go cause again this is not my realm (I guess like King Arthur/GOT shit except I know nothing about either of those fandoms)
• the Kudo family is in power and with Shinichi being their only heir, he’s obviously the next King. He takes this role very seriously and genuinely wants to be a good ruler
• the Miyanos are from a neighboring kingdom and an alliance would be beneficial to both of them, so an arrangement is set up
• neither of them want to marry each other, they haven’t even met in person, but they also know they don’t have a say so they accept their fate
• first impressions are kinda eh, but it could be worse. Shiho notes some baggage that she could care less about, but she does make friends with Kaito because I believe in kaishi supremacy (a brotp in this verse though sadly. I’ll have to dream of the stable boy steals the queen fic another day)
• they get married and do all the things a proper married future king and queen should do. There is a learning curve to get over during intimate times, but he gets it eventually. Even if they’re not in love, he does care about her pleasure which surprises her a lot
• slowly over the course they fall for each other, him more quickly cause this is my fic. But alas there is a kingdom to rule and a threat has been made on the Miyano’s land by a mutual enemy
• it gains momentum and Shiho cannot sit by and wait, so she asks to go home. She is of course denied since her job is to produce an heir which they have not been able to do despite trying. It’s only been a few months though, but you know how these things are
• she doesn’t listen and stows away anyway, Shinichi finds out and goes off after her even though the court does not approve. He does find her and saves her, but a lot of shit is happening and it’s way too dangerous to stay. She does manage to get in contact with her sister who tells her to leave and she promises to stay safe
• unfortunately the kingdom falls, her parents are killed and Akemi is nowhere to be found. This of course means war. But again as Shinichi isn’t the official king yet, the main concern is still to produce an heir. But knowing how these two have a rebellious streak, they’re sent away to another location until she conceives
• now of course she is not gonna be in the mood when her family has just been slaughtered. Which he also understands and meanwhile he wants to go back home to help defend their land. Their plans escaping leads no where, they’re not allowed to leave
• the tides turn in their favor, with part of her former land reclaimed and thus they’re allowed back on home grounds. But mostly because she is carrying their child now
• which means he can officially take over and be king now, while his parents retire and take over other responsibilities (most likely meaning gaining more land cause that’s all people in power care about). But of course they settle the war first, and they win.
• Shiho waits for news from her sister that never comes (admittedly I haven’t decided if she lived or not… we’re officially at the part of the fic where I’m just making it up as I go right now cause I can’t remember what my actual plan was) Shinichi grows on her and she does allow herself to actually fall in love with him. He’s been so supportive and he’s really good to her
• everything is good. He’s officially king, his queen is also in love with him and they’re about to welcome their first child. But that’s too easy, so of course someone who escaped the terrors of the Miyano’s kingdom collapsing found refuge here in the Kudos land but grew resentment and starts a rebellion to overthrow them
• it doesn’t exactly work, but they do find traitors within the realm. A beautiful baby girl is born and the kingdom is in celebration, Shinichi is thrilled even though the courts are upset and demand they try and have another child immediately because it needs to be a boy
• okay this is the reason why I don’t think I’ll be able to write this fic, cause while dreaming this verse my mind would not allow them to get their happy ending cause things keep going wrong every time they achieve it. Because the one person that started the rebellion is to be executed anyway so he decides to take his revenge which unfortunately means Shinichi ends up having to choose to save his wife or daughter
• he does try to save both, but he fails. And Shiho hates him for it. She thinks she’s cursed, she keeps losing her family. She still doesn’t know if her sister is alive and her daughter is now gone. All she has left is Shinichi, but before they even got together she had her whole family
• she obviously goes into a depressive state. And of course yet another invasion is happening cause news of a rebellion got out, so of course enemies are trying to strike when they think the kingdom is weak. Shinichi is stretched way too thin having to manage an impending war while his queen is plotting her own demise
• he decides to fix one problem at a time and try to do it without bloodshed first. So a pretend everything is going great gala is arranged. Shiho does play her role and fools everyone into thinking everything is fine when she is very much not. She still mourns, but her duty to her people forces her to pull it together for one night
• she’s gone by morning light. Shinichi goes mad trying to find her, only glad that talks of war have quieted down (thanks to his parents negotiating with other kingdoms and them fooling the rest that they’re fine, why else would they throw a party?) He finds her on the outskirts of town, she doesn’t want to see him since she still blames him for the loss of their child (though if we’re honest she’s more upset with herself)
• he apologizes (he did before also) and proclaims his love which she does not accept. He begs her to give them another chance (not that she has a choice cause divorce is not a thing here. She would just have to die or he dies, but she’s thinking the former) she refuses, but he’s the king so he wins so they go back to the island where they were forced to stay at until they conceived
• it’s also where they chose to keep their child’s gravesite. It was too painful for either of them to bear seeing it, so they chose to keep it here. And now all Shiho does is sit by her child’s tombstone
• the court has no heart and demands he produce an heir, but given the Queen’s inability to do so (since in their eyes it took them too long to conceive a child the first time plus it was a girl) so they take matters into their own hands, choosing other maidens who would be more than willing to carry the future heir to the kingdom (and maybe become Queen themselves in the process) This pisses Shinichi off, he makes it clear he will only have children with the woman he loves
• meanwhile this only adds to Shiho’s thinking that being born as a woman is a curse and this is her punishment for thinking she could be happy. Perhaps it’s a good thing her daughter will never get the chance to go through the same process as she is right now
• Shinichi refuses to be seduced and instead finally decides to sit with Shiho who wakes each morning to mourn their child. He normally waits until she finally sleeps at night to talk to their daughter himself, he didn’t want to trigger her more but evidently it’s not working. But also because he hates to admit that he failed
• he mans up and holds her, confessing his own guilt and how he wished it was him instead. He failed at being a father before he really got the chance, how can he be a good ruler is he can’t even protect his own family. Shiho stops blaming him, now that she knows he’s just as torn up about this as she is
• they actually try and have another child. They did try before during their grieving but it was more going through the motions and made them both feel worse. Eventually they managed to conceive again, but it takes a long while
• maybe they’re not meant to be parents together, she doesn’t understand why it’s not working. There must be something wrong with her. The kingdom needs an heir, so she gives her permission for him to have a child with someone else. He refuses, doubling down that he will only have a child with her
• they fall more in love with each other in the process and to help alleviate the stress of making babies. She starts getting into running a country. She was trained to do so for her own land, but now that she belongs to her husband she’s told to stay out of it. Shinichi values her opinion, especially knowing how smart she is, she was the key to several victories they held during the war and she was able to keep the people of the kingdom happy while he was away at the line of duty
• as assassination attempt is made on her life since women have no place in power and she isn’t even pregnant. Shinichi saves her, but she decides she hates being a damsel so she starts to take self defense lessons. At first he didn’t like it, thinking of himself as a failure that she has to learn to fight for herself. But she convinces him, if she had been able to hold her own in a fight then maybe they would still have to see daughter
• he allows her lessons to continue, but he insists on being her sparring partner (this is just because I want my golden otp represented, cause this is such a thing for my true otp) anyways they probably end up conceiving during one of these sessions
• it’s a boy this time! And everything is finally going great again. Except there is a jealous person who was promised by the court power and now that’s all gone. So another assassination attempt is made, but this time on Shinichi’s life
• Shinichi doesn’t hesitate to protect both Shiho and their baby, not realizing he is the target this time. Luckily the swordsman missed the mark and was apprehended but Shinichi is pretty badly hurt. Shiho has nightmares about this and spends the whole time by his side with their child, nursing him back to health
• because this is just gonna keep going if I don’t end it, and I really cannot deal with angst or mcd. We are going to say they lived happily ever after and nothing bad ever happens again (even though it probably does)
#shinshi#CoAi#cynply dreaming out loud#was watching bob’s burgers and now I’m stuck on the logic versus emotion thing again which has nothing to do with this verse#kinda but not exactly. but mainly I was thinking about the hanahaki verse#I seem to have a thing for him being in love with her while she kinda gives up

blue spring is such a beomgyu kind of song I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was credited in the lyrics like he's definitely the type to say that kind of tooth decaying gut wrenchingly sweet bullshit to his s/o "you're my spring" "my youth is yours" IM FOLDING SO BAD
#the writer in me is itching#if i write a hanahaki au about him what then#the things i'd do to have seen them perform this live CURSE YOU KMOAS#soobin's verse got me sobbing like someone died

@voxuli whispered a line !! 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐇𝐀𝐊𝐈 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒 ( always accepting! ) ❛ do you want the surgery? ❜
❛ no. ❜
vox didn't hesitate. it didn't matter how much pain he was in. it didn't matter that he'd been cursed with this for more than fifty years, or that it wasn't even just one. that there were two flowers blooming in his very lungs, one more recently than the other. it didn't matter that the smallest exertion took what little breath he had. that a real coughing fit left him immobile for whole minutes.
❛ i'm surprised you even asked. would you? run the risks? choose to let go of something like this? ❜
it was an emotional response, but a genuine one as he tried catching his breath.

It takes thirty seconds exactly before Alastor gives himself the room to breathe.
The desire to be entirely out of range of being heard before he allows his body to reject everything about the moment prior. Forcing up petals as if they were bile. As if he had any control over the flower ruining his lungs.
Crushing them in his hands and letting them fall. The bright blue contrasting an otherwise dark room.
Calm otherwise as the time ticked away. Was there any hope that Vox would return? He wasn’t sure. But he promised the fifteen minutes, and he would allow him that.
The bigger concern was what exactly Vox would bring back, should he reappear at all. It wasn’t as if he had willingly communicated, just taken the limit and run off.
Should Alastor be preparing for a fight?
Vox had lost his one chance for a willing sacrifice. No, if he wanted Alastor dead now, he would have to work for it. Unwilling to commit to love, and now unable to commit to hate, either.
Minutes ticked away. Alastor remained steadfast. This was what he understood. What he wanted to be for Vox from the beginning. Trusting, willing to give within proper boundaries. Hard to keep the faith whether he came through the door or not, but for these fifteen minutes, he was dedicated.
It only took 14 minutes and 2 seconds.
If Alastor is surprised, he isn’t showing it. There is something twisted up in his eyes, but shock isn’t it. Closer to withdrawal, surrender even.
“You do as you please.”
An unhelpful comment, perhaps in this context.
The first concern wavered. But now Vox was here, and he wasn’t entirely satisfied with that either. He highly doubted the bag was anything threatening, which had quelled the rest of his worries. That still left an unanswered question.
And he wasn’t going to ask it.
To ruin the smallest peace the two of them had in so long. Selfishly hoping the moment would stay quiet, so that it would never come to pass.
Letting the rest of the remaining seconds pass before finally entertaining a small piece of his curiosity.
“What did you bring?”
A timer for fifteen minutes exactly flashes across Vox's screen; he pushes it into his virtual desktop and jumps into the hotel grid. From there into the VoxTek drone, and from the drone into the electrical supply for the larger city.
Reappearing in his own penthouse apartment takes approximately a minute. His gyroscopic stabilizers flounder for a second or two, leaving him wobbling on his feet.
Vark lifts his head from his dog bed, his thick tail starting to beat against the floor. In the relative quiet of his own space, he notices his own fans starting to skip; his internal readouts indicate temperatures above normal across the board. The desire to stay here and simply collapse on the floor with the hellshark on top of him is an urge that doesn't go unnoticed.
...His thermals are above normal, but only in cautionary territory right now. He tells himself there'll be time for that later. Right now he's on the clock.
He spares a few seconds to create a block in his calendar, simply labeled 'A.' The timer for it goes off instantly (less than fifteen minutes till, of course). All that matters is it creates the obligation.
Okay. Okay.
First a trip down to the tower's in-house pharmacy, to terrorize its employees into dropping everything and bumping him to the top of the priority list. He leaves them scrambling to fill it and jumps back into the grid just over a minute later.
This time he exits in Cannibal Town, right inside Rosie's on the tail end of her closing hour. Normally he's politer than emerging straight into her shop; coupled with a rush order means he will be owing her a favor sometime soon. He can handle that.
A return to the pharmacy while Rosie pulls together his request. Vox swipes the small bottle, taps to confirm the purchase, and zaps up to his penthouse to grab a laptop before the pharmacists can even sigh in relief.
Back to Rosie's. He knows the cannibal Overlord can read his tension in his posture and underneath his words, and she's going to want to know about that later. She doesn't pry though, handing him off the bag and receipt with minutes to spare.
The drone is still waiting at the edge of the city; piloting the damn thing always feels so slow compared to jumping through the grid. He's still got time, even if he's cutting it close. Perhaps it's a good thing; gives him time to remember to cut the lights again as he approaches the hotel. (Something tells him Alastor wouldn't be forgiving if he was late because the Princess's hyper-vigilant guard dog speared him out of the sky.) Vox brings it close enough that he can jump back in through the Hotel's gaudy neon signage, sending the machine to wait behind it after.
When he finally reappears in the room, it's with less than a minute to spare. He hesitates before setting the bag down on the nearest table, the prescription bottle nestled among the food inside.
Truth be told, he hadn't really given any thought past the part where he came back. His eyes shift over the room before he mutters. "...I'll-- I'd like to stay for a while. If you'll have me."

Hermitcraft / Life Series Fic Recs
Because I love so many of them...
I'll split the fics into completed and updating fics, and try to only recommend currently updating fics (i.e., not abandoned). I'm going to write a little about why I like each fic and what the general vibes are - so this is also a kind of review I guess?
I've tried to @ the authors if they have a public tumblr. Sorry to anyone who didn't want to be tagged, I can remove any @ if you ask (or if I have embarrassingly tagged the wrong person). Anyway, enjoy, and I appreciate reblogs because I want as many people to see these fics as possible!!
This ended up being incredibly long so I'm putting a divider here. Click to keep reading!!! Also, fair warning: shipping ahead! Some fics will have mild sexual content, please read the tags if you are unsure <3
Updating Fics
I have already recommended Help Me To Breathe, lost in the dark (he's got a heavy heart), and There Are Monsters Nearby in this post, so I won't explain why I like them a second time, but definitely check them out!!
Death's A Good Gig by @mawofthemagnetar is probably going to be finished by the time this post gets to you, reader, but I'm putting it here anyway. It's short and sweet, one of my favourite representations of Zedaph (or, Zedeath) I've read, and just a joy to experience. If you like grim reapers and discussions of unions, this one is for you. Also I need more Zedaph in my life.
Look, I'm Sorry, Please Stop Scaring Everyone by @cat-in-the-desert reminds me a lot of a particular TV drama I liked when I was younger, which followed a similar premise. This fic follows Mumbo (vampire) and Grian (ghost) as they get up to various housemate shenanigans and meet their local magic-expert and salesman Scar. This fic is fun, but still includes a nice amount of Feelings and hinted-at Angst which I really love. It's lighthearted, but never boring.
It Hurts To Hope by Inquillitory is my favourite of the "Grian crash lands into Hermitcraft and causes problems for everyone" genre. Seeing how many fics there are with that premise, I think that says a lot. It handles Grian's weird Watcher stuff really well. Honestly, I just want to know what happens next!
killing the boy in the tv by @raspberrystruck is like a sickfic on steroids. If you want Grian with so much past trauma he forgets how to function in society, this is basically the fic for you. I really love how hybrid traits affect the characters' interactions in this fic, and how everyone is kind of messed up because of the imbalance Grian brings. It is wonderfully descriptive in all the right places!
Love Me Like I'm Dead by @daniofcrows is such a gem. You know how hard it is to find good Xisuma whump? It's impossible. I absolutely love how Xisuma and Evil X are characterised in this, and I am obsessed with the unique take on hanahaki disease which I have never seen handled in this way before. The balance between flashbacks and present day is maintained wonderfully and I cannot wait to continue reading this one. Wow.
Oh, you wanted me to do a verse? by @bugbbear is... kind of indescribable. It's horror. It's comedy. It's the apocalypse. It's boatem. Scar eats someone. One of the most interesting and unique apocalypse stories I have read. Slowly updating but worth the wait, in my opinion. This one NEEDS more attention.
So Much For Stardust by @a-plethora-of-peters is basically one of my all-time favourites. Which is a damn good achievement seeing as I don't usually read ZITS fics. Like, ever. In this fic, Skizz is a human abducted and hurt badly by aliens, now recovering in the care of good aliens who don't know how 'sentient' he is. Every update of this one makes me smile, it is wonderful. I love how the characters are written and how the different perspectives are shown. It is just great.
Solar Waltz by @raspberrystruck and aroundtheclock is a brilliant and very very sad regression fic. I love fluffy regression fics as much as the next guy, but this one just... hits different. The hurt/comfort levels are off the charts. Grian is so damn cute the whole time, while also being harrowingly complicated and sad. I am so ready for whatever comes next.
Tango's Castle of Cards by @evilrat-sabre is the one where Tango is a BUG. He's just a little guy (horror). This one is so beautifully written, with poetry-type interludes and perspective changes that really make everything feel so much more impactful. Finding out your buddy is a murder bug isn't the easiest thing in the world. I love this so much.
Traveling Thieves {Dark Fantasy AU} (series) by @amethystfairy1 is basically one of the series of all time. I know I keep saying that but it really really is. I love a good fantasy au, and I love an au with hybrids even more. In this world, hybrids are treated like slaves, but it isn't all doom and gloom for the main characters of each installment. There is a lot of hurt/comfort and the different stories feed into each other in really interesting ways. I try to read as much as I can, though I've missed a few because my emails are buggy. Definitely worth reading these fics, especially since now they're all starting to come together!
Completed Fics
Solving Counting Sheep by @theminecraftbee might have rearranged my brain chemistry a little. Another strong contender for 'fics that inspire me to kill Grian', this time with a more concrete notion of "replacement". Three is my favourite fucked up living weapon. It's so rare to find Evo fics in this day and age, too. This fic had me immediately clicking on every update as soon as I got the emails.
Rescue Fire by @imaginethat0327 is one of the most unique takes on a fictionalised life series game that I have ever read. The whole concept is explained in a realistic and easy-to-follow way, as we learn what's happening with the characters. There are several brilliant storylines happening in this one, but my particular favourites are Jimmy & Tango, Joel, and of course Scar & Grian. This fic is full of whump and, well, read the tags, it isn't always pleasant, but those are my favourite things ever. Definitely worth checking out this fic and its currently updating sequel.
don't you know about me? by takenbadgering is a wonderful comedy of errors with just the right amount of angst for a realistic setting type of fic. If you enjoy polyamory miscommunications, rave aesthetics, kandi, school teacher dynamics, and a lovely blend between grumbo, cubscar, and mumscar, this is the one.
Eventually the Birds Must Land by @milo-hypno follows a polyam ship I would have never thought of, and I cannot believe how much I loved it. This married-as-friends fic premise is wonderful, and captures the main trio (Grian, Mumbo, Impulse)'s personalities so well, while balancing them with the incredibly terrifying descriptions of the Watchers and their power. There's a lot of angst here, but it is ultimately hurt/comfort to the maximum degree. I loved reading it as it updated. Yay for gay marriage!
From The Archives (series) by @sixteenth-days was the absolute inspiration for my own Comms AU, and I will never forget its influence on me. As someone basically unfamiliar with TMA, I thought this series might be hard to follow, but it was not! I read all 57 parts in the span of two days, and I think it altered my brain chemistry. Please read it, even if (especially if) you don't know anything about TMA. The Cleo and Grian storyline lives in my head rent free. I mean it. This is horror at its finest. Also there's an audio series of this fic being released rn, which is very cool.
SUPERCRITICAL by @masque-of-plague hits different. It is such a wonderful take on the superhero/HotGuy trope, and it gets so super dark at some points! This one really takes swings at it's fictional government, which of course I love, while at the same time building this brilliantly emotional relationship between Scar and Grian. I do enjoy a bit of enemies to lovers, but the actual plot mixed into the story makes this one extra special. It is thrilling, with action that I don't get to see too often! Great work.
I am weary with contending! is one of the mumscarian fics of all time. From 'this house has people in it'-type horror, to magic gone wrong, to childhood trauma, to attempted assassination, to gender fuckery, this fic has it all. Usually I don't go for convex siblings, but this one is good enough to get a pass from me. Amazingly detailed worldbuilding alongside a brilliantly creative story.
It Spreads by @foxxology may not count as a fic, actually. It's a comic. But it's posted on ao3 so it counts. I was obsessed with this one as it was updating, honestly. It rocked me to my core. The art is phenomenal. The writing is brilliant. I love sculk.
Luck of the sea by Sleepy_Duck is a lovely take on mermaid and human interactions, with Grian as a marine life conservator and Scar as a very neglected mer. This one takes us emotionally in all sorts of directions, and offers lots of hope for the future of the characters. I heavily enjoyed this fic - if you like mermaids and marine biology, check it out.
there are many downsides to being a marine biologist by donnerstag is another mermaid fic but with a pretty different vibe. First of all, it follows what I would consider a rarepair Doc/Martyn. Second of all, reading this as it updated was a thrilling experience that nearly made me cry at certain points. I love how the relationship builds in this fic. It is honestly amazing. The whole idea of experimenting on a sentient sea creature, learning that he can communicate, then losing funding and having to save him from being dissected?!?! It's crazy. I love it.
Thus concludes my fic recommendations. I hope you enjoy at least some of these, and consider reblogging to spread these wonderful fics around <3

Unchained Melody || Joshua [Teaser]
Pairing: Joshua X Fem!Reader
Genre: Angst, Fluff, Florist!Joshua, Professor!Reader, Multiple Reincarnations au, Soulmate au, Unrequited love au, Historical au, Hanahaki au, Fantasy au
Synopsis: You find Joshua, your soulmate in every lifetime and it takes only a sight of you for him to regain the memories of his past lives until you find him again in the current one but this time he doesn't recognise you at all.
Warnings: multiple reincarnations, heartbreak, major character death in some of the lifetimes, concept of soulmate and red string of fate, multiple vague verses and a whole lot of things through different lifetimes.
Dropping anyday, anytime.
[ SVT Masterlist ] [ SVT Flick - Fic Masterlist ]
Joshua waits. He observes you. But as time passes, the confusion in his eyes morphs into something somewhat you could term as agitation.
"Do you really not recognise me?", you ask with hesitance in case he's joking but the vague look in his eyes now is giving an unmistakable answer.
"I'm sorry but as I said, no. I really don't recollect meeting you before.", he says apologetically, "If you don't mind introducing yourself so that I can...", his voice trails off.
"This has never happened before", you mumble to yourself, "What's happening?"
You freeze when your gaze falls on the bouquet of red carnation, that he had kept on the counter.
The memories of your last life flashes in your mind. How you had coughed those red petals till you faced death because Joshua never reciprocated your feelings.
You get reminded of how once again, in one more lifetime he was your soulmate but you weren't his.
How the red string of fate tied to his pinky never linked him to you.
How your fate was always bound to him but the two of you never ended up together.
And how it was destined for you to find Joshua in every lifetime only to get effaced by another heartbreak.

POKESHIPPING WEEK 2024!
It's that time again, pokeshippers!
Last year, we announced that the format of Pokeshipping Week - one theme per day - was getting retired. We also said that we'd still put on a celebration of some kind going forward. Well, the time is here, and I'm happy to announce that we are planning a pokeshipping zine...next year!
If you'll forgive the bait-and-switch there, we have seriously talked about doing a zine, but time got away from us this summer. So, while we do hope to tackle that undertaking in 2025, for this year, we're planning what you might call an open Pokeshipping Week!
How does it work, you ask? Simple: over the years, you all have submitted a lot of potential themes for Pokeshipping Week. For every seven that got chosen each year, plenty were left behind. Well, now you can fill November 1 to 7 with art, fics, AMVs, GIFs, graphics, etc., all about our favorite Poke-couple, using any seven you'd like from the unused themes list.
Any and all contributions are welcome, and if they're tagged #pokeshipping week 2024, we'll reblog them here and on the main @pokeshipping blog. Besides Tumblr, we’ll keep our eyes out for the tag on Twitter and DeviantART for artwork, for fanfics on FF.Net and AO3, and for AMVs on YouTube (no NSFW, please).
The full list of unused themes (from years 2020 through 2023) is below the "Read More" break. Use, combine, and create as your heart desires, and we'll see you November 1!
A bad fight A day in the life A never-ending road A ship full of shippers Alola sunset scene Amusement park Anime characters meet their game/manga counterparts Anniversary Art classes together/Drawing each other Ash and Misty in Sinnoh Ash’s hat Avatar: The Last Airbender AU Birthdays Breakup Cameran Palace ball (as in Movie 8) Celebrating Celebrities Champions/Masters Cheerleader Misty Childhood sweethearts Chocolate Comfort during a natural disaster Comforting each other Competition Confiding in one another Cooking disaster Costumes Criminal/Detective Crossover Crossover with game/manga-verse D&D Dealing with Team Rocket’s teasing in “A Scare in the Air” Dewpider/Araquanid Different hairstyle Disaster dates Disney AU Double dating Elder years Elders Ash and Misty Evolution Fairy tales/Fantasy AU Fankids Fireworks First day on the job Food Fortune-telling/foresight Game of Thrones AU Giving advice to a younger generation Grey hair Gym leader Ash/beginner Misty Halloween/horror/ghost story Hanahaki disease Handkerchief Happily Ever After/Fairy Tales Hiding Hogwarts AU Horizons Hot tub/Hot springs If Ash heard Misty’s Song If Ash or Misty weren’t from Kanto If Ash started his journey at 16 or older If Ash’s journey had ended after winning the Indigo League (in season 1) If Misty caught Lapras If one came from another region If their parents met If they didn’t meet on Ash’s first day In-universe Pokéshippers Intimacy Japanese-style confessional love letter JRPG AU (ie, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, etc.) Karaoke Ladybug and Chat Noir Last goodbyes Learning a different language Lost Pikachu Love Letter Love triangle Lovers across the multiverse Lovestruck (if Ash acted like Brock) Meeting the parents/relatives Mewtwo Strikes Back alternate ending Misty and other Pokégirls discuss their loved ones together Misty meets Goh and Chloe Misty overcoming her fear of Bug-types Misty the coordinator Misty’s Bug-type phobia Mixtape/playlist Mystery dungeon Nervous Ash Never have I ever Other Pokemon games AU (Detective Pikachu/Pokemon Masters/etc) Out of their element Overprotective Misty Perspective of Oak Ranch Pokémon on their relationship Photo shoot Pirates Plot twist Pokemon daycare Pokémon Mystery Dungeon AU PokéNav communication/Video calling Possessed/evil Misty Pregnancy/Birth Pro-gamers Puberty Reappearance of Ash’s father and/or Misty’s parents Regency Era Romance Return to Orange Islands Romeo and Juliet Sci-fi AU Scuba diving Secret identity/superhero AU Slow Slumber party Spies AU Stargazing Studio Ghibli AU Sunshine and Rain Superhero AU Swimming lessons Sygna suits Tabletop RPG AU Taller (height differences) Tauros ranchers Ash and Misty Time capsule Training together Umbrella Vacation Visiting Oak’s ranch Water and electricity/water and fire What if Ash didn’t take Misty’s bike?

In another universe, anakin fake spits out flowers and tells obiwan they are for him. Like fake pregnancy test, my boy is gonna flower trap that old man
anakin: cough cough oh no I guess I’m dying too look at these flowers
obi-wan, speedrunning through his hanahaki getting worse at the sight of anakin being in love with someone who isn’t his wife but also isn’t obi-wan: oh no who are you in love with?
anakin, who stole these special stewjoni flowers from the Coruscanti greenhouse gardens and was almost arrested for it: I don’t know master. can you take a look. at the flowers. to see what their planet of origin is.
obi-wan, who has never once stepped foot on stewjon and is not well-versed in stewjoni flora at all: no thank you padawan, you know I don’t have the head for botanical sciences. I will escort you to the halls of healing though - you will be a good candidate for surgery, I think.

hiii guyyss hiii tumblr dbd fandom
I came from twitter and wanna try using tumblr
a couple of days ago I came to dm of my fandom bestie @adskayapanda with a discussion about painland hanahaki au
then I decided that I wanted to describe it in more detail and post it on twitter AND THEN all this shit happened there that made our beautiful jayden revri deactivate his twitter account and want to stop all interaction with the fandom altogether
so I don't want to post this on twitter yet
hope you like it, have a nice read🤍
✨SO PAINLAND HANAHAKI AU✨
it's a dubious idea I agree BUT PLS HEAR ME OUT
I know it's weird considering that the main point of hanahaki au is that the living characters ARE DYING OF NOT MUTUAL LOVE AND HERE OUR TWO JERKS ARE ALREADY DEAD BUT
let's imagine that in the afterlife this works in a special way: for example flowers in the lungs feel about the the same as cat scratches or iron
and in particularly advanced cases of illness instead of death the ghost may simply disappear forever
btw it's worth noting that cases of illness are rare even in the world of the living, not to mention the dead but we all know how "lucky" edwin is for all kinds of suffering
soo just imagine after confessing in hell charles begins to notice how edwin is increasingly abruptly going somewhere perhaps not turning pale like alives but e.g. sometimes becomes slightly transparent and in principle begins to avoid his company
and then he abruptly begins to find scraps of bright red poppies in the office (neatly collected in a bouquet or bag) and thinks that these are gifts from edwin's new admirers or new attributes for spells (if we are talking about bags with petals you never know what they can be useful for charles is not so well versed)
but one day edwin doesn't have time to escape and charles accidentally finds him in another attack
charles did not really believe that people could have hanahaki at all - there were legends about it and nothing more but for ghosts hanahaki does not make sense at all!! they are ALREADY dead! - charles thinks trying to calm down and watching edwin vomit bright red petals
he doesn't recognize these flowers at first..
but when almost a whole flower bursts out of edwin's throat the realization suddenly comes along with a sudden flashback from childhood - charles often ran away from home at an early age when his father raged too much just to the nearest poppy field - and then brought small bouquets from it for his mother
charles's heart sank with realization
it hurts him to look at edwin in such a state and realize that it is entirely his fault that he did not reciprocate such a wonderful man as payne but it hurts even more to think that he will somehow misunderstand his feelings and break edwin's heart
and therefore after charles took care of edwin during the attack it was tacitly decided not to discuss it as always
(but edwin of course has already studied everything about hanahaki and knows what it leads to, but he tries (unsuccessfully) to calm himself with thoughts that, at least, this is not hell and that he did everything that depended on him - confessed his feelings)
and as a result, it turns out that boys "live", solve cases, and charles literally watches edwin fade away - his body is becoming more transparent, more and more often he turns into a ball shape in order to imbue himself with at least some energy and delay the moment of the inevitable even a little bit, but this is not enough for a long time
and edwin despite feeling as bad as possible tries to hold on as best he can and gets so many cases that there is not thes lightest extra second to think about his tragic situation
and charles understands the horror of the situation (and finally realizes his feelings) when e.g. edwin suffering from a particularly severe attack goes without warning for a week's treatment to some hermit sorcerer in his wilds for a rare ritual that promises to at least alleviate the symptoms of hanahaki and prolong the existence of a ghost and at most to completely cure it
and charles thinks that he is gone forever (cause just the day before while investigating another case leafing through the book "magical diseases" he came across a chapter about hanahaki among ghosts where some main points were highlighted in blue pencil and edwin's hand as well as repeated handwritten notes - edwin obviously studied for a long time and tried to do everything possible to improve his well-being. and in the end of page the inevitable scary result DEATH is emphasized and at the bottom there is a footnote that death for a ghost is a conditional removal from the universe he generally will cease to exist)
and this is the very moment when charles realizes everything - that he simply cannot exist without his edwin and that the feelings in his heart are not just friendly
at first when charles doesn't find edwin he thinks that he just left on business as often happens
then when he conditionally doesn't return in the evening charles begins to worry
BUT WHEN EDWIN HAS BEEN GONE FOR 2-3 DAYS CHARLES STARTS PANICING AND LITERALLY GOES CRAZY
he can't find peace worries panics tries to do something find edwin convinces himself that everything is fine AND THEN CATCHES HIMSELF THINKING THAT EDWIN MAY NEVER COME BACK (AND ALL BECAUSE CHARLES DID NOT RECIPROCATE IN TIME AND NOW IT'S TOO LATE!!) AND HE'S HAVING A TERRIBLE TANTRUM
and when edwin arrives a week later CHARLES IS ALREADY ON THE VERGE OF MADNESS AND AFTER HE SEES EDWIN HE CAN'T DECIDE WHAT HE WANTS MORE - TO KISS HIM RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW WITH NO WORDS OR KILL HIM A SECOND TIME HIMSELF
(after all he doesn't do any of this just hugs and sobs on his shoulder choking in tears wailing how he was afraid that edwin had disappeared forever)
then charles sits edwin down on the couch and interrogates WHAT ACTUALLY THE FUCK WHY THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OR NO NEWS FROM HIM
and edwin rather casually replies that he felt unwell and went to be treated by some sorcerer who promised to rid him of hanahaki (here he adds that his stupid feelings initially interfere with both of them and charles's heart feels like it's splitting)
(wow edwin looks noticeably better, - thinks charles)
and then charles's already nonexistent heart suddenly sinks into his heels - it seems to him, judging by how well edwin looks and holds himself that he succeeded
which means only one thing - he managed to stop loving charles - just at the moment when charles finally so acutely realized that he loves him back, that's so unfair!
having received this realization charles abruptly gathers up wipes his tears pulls away slaps edwin on the shoulder congratulates him on his recovery and begins to leave
and then edwin who bitterly thinks that charles is making such a mockery of him breaks through: tears flow like a stream his voice breaks and trembles and in his eyes there is a mixture of doom fear resentment impotence and PAIN
with tears in his eyes, he explains that even the promised "wonderful" weekly ritual of that sorcerer could not rid him of these painful damn feelings that spoiled everything from the very beginning and no matter how he tried to get rid of them nothing works
charles turns around in shock and sees how because of all these painful emotions edwin twists another attack of hanahaki
bright red poppy petals fly to the floor again
charles hesitates for just a second and then instantly flies up to edwin falls on his knees in front of him gently grabs edwin's face with both hands forcing him to look into his eyes and in an incredulous whisper clarifies: "so you still love me?"
edwin's eyes start running again counting every red petal on the floor just to avoid meeting the deep brown eyes looking at him such hopefully
charles has enough barely audible "sorry" to immediately start covering edwin's entire surprised face with happy little kisses saying between them how much he loves edwin what a fool he was how scared he was that he might lose edwin forever how he wouldn't let go anymore and a bunch of other sugary nonsense
from that very moment on bright red poppies began to appear in their office only in beautiful carved vases reminding of something personally important for these two dead idiots..
thanks for reading!!🤍
and one more: english is not my native language so I'm so sorry if smth is written incorrectly

❛ anyone who doesn’t love you is a complete idiot. if they don’t love you back, leave them behind. ❜
𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐇𝐀𝐊𝐈 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒.( always accepting! )
WASN'T THAT IRONIC? vox was tucked away in the hospital bed, sitting up with his legs crossed, a laptop resting on his knees. one of many handkerchiefs pressed to his face, catching the blood && red petals of the rose he coughed up on the daily. sometimes he wondered if he should plant one, when he did wind up with a full one, but he had yet to make that choice. it would have been a nice little reminder, but a beautiful one, wouldn't it? at least something would be blooming, living here.
if they don't love you back, leave them behind.
if only it was that easy. if only vox could find the will && strength to express who it was. did alastor think it was someone else so truly? that he wasn't the one who was making him sick, that it hadn't been him for decades, for genuinely over fifty years? he supposed he wouldn't. if alastor never felt the same, && vox had never spoken up, why would he know? he could tell him. maybe he should.
but vox was selfish. alastor wanted him to get the surgery, he wanted him to leave this behind. he didn't know if he could handle another real rejection. he'd gotten that back in 1975, && if it happened now ... it might actually kill him. dramatic, but a real possibility.
❛ i don't think there's many people out there i'd have left if i did all that, alastor, ❜ he said instead, half - joking. the number of people he believed loved him was a total of one. but even that was only hopeful enough. something he worked hard to have faith in.
❛ come on, we don't have to talk about this. the fit will pass. ❜
interrupted by coughs again, triggered no doubt by the conversation at hand, his own thoughts. the presence of the origin of his illness. they wracked his body && left blue - red streaks in the tissue he held. another half petal coughed up, then tossed into the bin that was full of them.
#【 I'M GROWING COLD | VOX ( IC ). 】#【 WHY ARE YOU MY REMEDY | STATICINTONE ( HANAHAKI VERSE ). 】#【 UNFLINCHING HOTELIER | STATICINTONE ( ALASTOR ). 】#【 WISH WE COULD BE LIKE THAT | STATICINTONE ( ALASTOR && VOX ). 】#【 WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW IS ... | ( ASKS ). 】#staticintone#sadge#i tried to match ur hanahaki tag for us ghjkfd
