your fav mello/near fics??? thank yeww (also love your drawings!)

oohh this reminds me i should pick up my ff.net archival reclist project up again...

it is of note that it's been a looooong while since i've combed the archives and there's a couple of common tropes i don't usually read due to personal taste, so i'm sure there's a lot of good fic i'm unaware of and/or forgetting about! this has totally renewed my interest in making a comprehensive personal reclist >:) perhaps i'll come back and edit this post every now and then.

i owe comments to nearly everyone mentioned here i am SO sorry. it's a lost skill that i am working on developing again. at the very least i've got everyone in one place so i can go down the list this year. i encourage everyone reading from this reclist to leave a comment too!

i wrote "off the top of my head" but this got VERY long so under the readmore it goes

obligatory classics

• the famous @tierfal 's sidetracked (2010) and full of surprises (2009). rated e and m respectively. these are like the allegorical little black dress in the wardrobe of the platonic ideal of the mellonear oneshot. seem to be pretty well known across the ship fandom • stripped (2009) by blueberryash/@tka-trashfire on tumblr. explicit. i haven't read this in a while but i remember it capturing the delicate gossamer tension of the ship in a way that was sooo bittersweet and nostalgic. • to speak of rules and privilege (2008) also by blueberryash/@tka-trashfire, gen, a manifesto on tenderness, soooooooooo soft, changed the game, near being afraid of thunderstorms was immediately adopted into personal canon. big time influence for the way i write near and mello's pre-canon relationship re: big brother, little brother. • an understanding (2008) by blueberryash/@tka-trashfire, rated T, short and sweet, razor sharp prose, the aesthetics of the little piece live rent free in my head. • dual(2011) by ramasi, @ramasi here i believe. rated m. historians say this might be one of the first examples of mellonear choking kink ever recorded,

•scarification (2012) by gacrux11 on fanfiction.net, rated m, big time dead dove do not eat. sorry this one leans early 2010s era grimdark melodrama but i love it sjkdfkjfd. not enough dead dove fics about the boys if u ask me. • salt in the wound (2007) •tempus fugit (2007), and • white out (2006) by vaudevillain king on fanfiction. net. a beloved rare find. all of them are rather grimdark edgy products of their era, but some of the best the era had to offer. they make me so nostalgic for my teenagehood on fanfiction.net. i get the impression these might've been written even before death note was finished? • birthday smut (2009) by kleine_aster on livejournal. explicit. this one is SO funny to me because it is both really, really good, very in character, but unfortunately it suffers from almost satirical misogyny that afflicted fujoshis back in the day. near literally is like oh that bitch... like. he would not fucking think that but i can edit quickly in my brain as i read. bisexual mello rights! otherwise really sexy imo. i might be writing something that's kind of in conversation with this fic.

RARE finds

(please tell me if you enjoy any of these, i want to feel like an explorer that's brought back treasures from far away lands)

contemporary favorites:

• you've heard about it before and you will hear about it again: the archer ensnared (2023) by jabbernatty, rated e. a jessaerys obligatory syllabus read, the fic that made me go fulltime yaoi disease. i owe so much to jabbernatty they are my white whale my friend my enemy the writer i've psychically imprinted on from the beginning. honestly too scared to even leave a comment given the jessarys archer ensnared lore. may one day may contact and pray i don't come across as insane • postmortem (2023) by the_hemlock true gen, a favorite of ALL time. it's only tangentially mn really, it is 99% about near trying to piece together the mystery of lawlight post-canon, but the characterization and prose are some of if not the best i've ever come across. reads like it could be a piece of canon material. if you only read one fic on this list i'd pick postmortem. • it's friday i'm in love by neallo/@neallo rated m. possibly my all time fave in the neallo cinematic universe. something about the after-hours longing and the standing in the kitchen by the refrigerator lights, as the poets say. i love when stories feel like you're cutting out a window to peer into a larger universe that is just out of reach. perfectly captures what it is like to have a maddening crush • i want to hold you (hostage)(2023) by neallo/@neallo rated e. thee defining fic of this current modern mellonear era. manages to walk the line of kinky/sexy/sweet/fluffy all at once. plot twist of the century in the last chapter. near is properly as bananas insane as mello is in this fic, which is the marker of a good mellonear dynamic. really everything by morgan neallo is a safe bet for a great read • there's nothing i want but you (2023) by neallo/@neallo rated t. wammy's era mellonear obsessiveness that is soooo teenagery and yet a portent of just how codependent they might one day get. cute and ominous. • armageddon/kill game (2024) by bolide/@bolide-archive came out of nowhere a couple of months ago and ascended to the top of the game like a dark horse. rated m, chess au. one of my favorite interior mello narrations and one of the most similar to my own interpretation. such naturally talented prose. i rotate lines from this in my head all the time. still in progress but i have faith that it will be completed :') • how to burn down the sacred loom (2023) by dornishviper/@vriskarlmarx a contemporary CLASSIC. the less you know going in the better. beautiful prose, beautiful structure. they don't make fic like this anymore • the house always wins (2023) by mer_curia/@vivi-scera. screaming with my mouth closed. holds a special place in my heart given that it is my posting that convinced vi to give the ship a try, and i was rewarded with a fic that is so catered to my tastes i honestly had to read it through my fingers. SO good, the manifesto on wammyscest, so rather controversial. heed the warnings. • moonlight (2023) by tsukinousagi/@quicktimeeventfull rated t. an austere, cold little glimpse into a vampire au. it's giving let the right one in. so melancholic. one of the saddest near examinations out there. •proximity tells (2018) by abysmallypresent, rated m. truly lives up to death note's second-by-second minutia while managing to keep up the tension the entire time. great characterization. •silhouettes (2015) by bad blood/eroticcodependence, @wxmmyshouse on tumblr. unrated, post-canon compliant. made me CRY! elegantly short and simple, bittersweet and so so wistful. •arsonist's lullabye (2023) by tzviaariella/@tzviaariella. rated t. this one has a heart-wrenching air of realism to it that exists outside the chaotic universe of death note, one of those examinations of picking up the pieces after the titans have all gone away. very bittersweet.

honorary mentions

• let's die somewhere prettier (2020) by firesafinething also one of my absolute favorites, unfortunately it is discontinued and it is likely it will never be completed. sad! the premise seemed SO promising. in my mind i file it right next to postmortem mentioned above. the exploration of the tragedy of 27 year old near we could have had in a better timeline. one day i will leave a comment so good maybe it will bring back the fic from the land of the dead • august underground by me & @firebuggg rated e, in progress. >:) (shamless self promo)

[clochettesworld]

I don’t understand how you guys are so set on not talking about mind or ego but you share posts of ppl like BeingIs who talk about the mind as if it’s something separate. Like “this is from the mind, the mind does this and this” like it’s something out of our control.. Idk? I genuinely don’t understand this type of language and it confuses me a lot

It's the function of the mind. But the mind isn't something different from SELF , it still is IT. He sais it himself.

The same way the function of the seeming body is to survive.

Mind = thoughts the logic, interpretations , conclusion that go with them. It's not an entity to get rid off, the same way "ego" is talked about on tumblr. It's only something to notice. To stop tkaing seriously. As real.

It's all only a "seeming". Simply don't read if you don't understand . As he says, his posts are for mature listenners and what he means by that is the ones who understand what he's talking about and understand he's not talking literally as if there is an absolute Truth. In other words, for people who are not stuck in words .

Only seeming.

I share his stuff for people who get it.

you know what time it is CHAT SHENANIGANS TIME

[onlyjaeyun]

I have so much to say but I NEED to say this…

I saw you said that a lot of people wanted you to have Snowflake be strict with Hoon.

But… the scene you wrote…

It was perfect.

I never wanted that (the “strictness”) I’ll be honest. I never wanted her to be super hard on Hoon… And truly when you have been in relationships with real people…well. They aren’t perfect. They mess up. You mess up. And it’s not ideal sometimes.

The scene you wrote was literally so perfect. Flawless. It was absolutely excellent. It was real. Raw. Beautiful. Sometimes you just get too tired…sometimes you just don’t want to wait anymore to be happy.

Sometimes the person you love does something wrong. And you don’t need to make them wait for forgiveness. You don’t need to make them earn it. In a relationship YOU will inevitably do something wrong too… Can you imagine how terrible it would be to have your remorse and genuine apology met with a list of requirements—after you have both suffered…

No…that isn’t what anyone really wants in a relationship. And it certainly wouldn’t have fit Snowflake and Hoon because…at the end of the day there is real and abiding love between them…and doing all of that…it isn’t who they are. After spending so long pretending that they aren’t each other’s person… the punishment has already been delivered. They had to live without each other for 10 years. No one is promised tomorrow. Life changes and takes and gives without warning.

I wouldn’t waste another second away from my soulmate by having him atone… What purpose would it serve? She knows his heart already.

Life is its own atonement. It is already hard without us making it harder.

True love is such a gift and theirs was so strong that it survived 10 years of them trying to kill it.

No. I’m glad you chose to do it the way you did. Because real love isn’t about “being strict”…and “making sure he pays for what he did”… Forgive me but… such things are often petty and immature…

It’s about healing and restoration and moving forward and changing and growing for the better… and it was all there in that absolutely perfect scene you wrote.

Don’t bother with what people want from you Zadie—or what their expectations are of the story you want to tell. Those are you characters. You know them. You love them. And your instincts as a storyteller—as someone who understands people—are unparalleled. I’m so glad you followed your heart on this.

viola, my love, my partner in crime, my ride or die, my adoptive older tumblr sister ☹️🤍

you never fail to make me tear up with your asks and feedback and basically everything you text me and i cant evenr thank you enough for it. your support is literally everything to me and i hope you know you've helped me through some tough times on here 🥺🤍😭✨

it always feels like you know exactly what to say to esde all those worries in my head because i was definitely worrying about if i had made the right decisions, so reading this definitely made me feel even more secure in my decisions and choices.

i wholeheartedly agree with everytjing you've said and i honestly couldnt have said it better bc you always hit the nail on the head with your analysis. this is bery important to people who have doubted CH!hoonyn's reactions and the development in their relationship so thank you for putting it into words and tkaing that burden off of my shoulders.

i love and appreciate you so so much 🤍

i had to scroungel through my discord logs to figure out his name. aparently it was godot. thats why i kept thinking 'game engine boy' thats a game engine. i literally have the godot game engine downloaded on my computer. that makes sense. okay. theres your mr green man. i now have a name to associate him with. i will forget this in 15 minutes i assure you. its happened before and it will happen again. i am winning life. sorry for tkaing you on this weird journey to go find out what this guys name is.

he is so not green

[oflgtfol]

ok so in ap lit we had to do this thing where we were given a list of withdrawals and deposits in the form of written checks over like 2 decades in the early 1900s and we had to piece together a story from the purchases and names etc etc

so me and my friend went all out for ours. everybody else in the class didnt rlly give a shit and made it super basic but OURS? we had THE MAFIA. we had FORBIDDEN ROMANCE. we had AFFAIRS and BETRAYAL and MURDER. and we were the only ones to set these two guys up in a relationship together. lawrence junior x tony spagoni

so anyway i posted it to ao3 cause why not and theres literally only 3 works for this thing (all of them written for class apparently.. LOL) and. ALL THREE. involve junior x spagoni its the funniest fucking thing

echo watches dominion smp

viking pilot pov (hello tumblr jumpscare man)

anyway immediate thoughts: this guy is an embodiment of a wet rag, i want to wring him out and hang him up to dry. nice voice.

honestly more put together when confronted with thefacthes real now than i would ever be. 'hi yes ive been watching you for a while. hello' also set on fire so much. grilled viking

everyone on this server is slightly insane. i love them

viking has. the wildest sense of loyalty ive ever seen. like yes hes fix's friend. yes hes just vibing while the others spawn a warden. yes he told taneesha peoples favourite things. yes hes immediately telling said people where they are. hes just So.

little ghost boy. what crimes will he commit.

the iou collection?? hermitcraft enjoyer in me still remembers horse head farms and the head canons of those being souls. viking the soul collector i guess

he is in your walls. he is in my walls. he is skittering around between the bricks listening in on you.

how far is he willing to go for a legundo iou. because so far seems like fix is one of his actual friends.

also just realised. he is wearing his own severed head to let people see him. that is both really wholesome and. freaky.

taking the blame. for tax fraud. does our favourite ghost boy not know that you do not fuck with the irs.

'you comitted several crimes' his reaction to crouch and look at them. god.

i am losing my mind.

ALL OF THIS FOR AN IOU

this mans priorities.

GRADY UNDER THE SLAB. HIDING. he looks so sad.

grady is so.

he got the worst deal. viking youre so dumb.

love how his outro just. has his channel icon cover his face. someone just slapped his own sticker on there.

episode 4: viking loses his goddamn mind

legundo shivering the whole time makes it so much better.

'I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE MURDER GRAVEYARD' whats wrong, legundo? do you fear death? do you fear confrontation with your own mortality? run. perhaps you will find safety under the burning sun. but perhaps you will not be alone.

i have no idea what im saying any more.

oh no.viking once again tkaing the fall for a crime. taneesha is a bad influence.

'wow whatcrimes did viking commit' 'oh, yknow, all the ones we tried blaming taneesha for' 'huh, wild'

GRADY IS THERE

this web of lies. my god.

grady just like 'youre full of shit yknow'

oh hey is now a good time to mention i tend to associate phantoms with cats.

i am so glad he told nuke. still viking has the wildest allegiances ive ever seen.

people i need to watch after viking: nuke and grady. they have such vibes, actually

changing taneeshas base from snowy wonderland toliteral hell.... beautiful.

'not a cult' idk guys might be a cult. but also void is such a good aesthetic

feeding the void. crunchity munchity

vikings one cncern is that theres no contact card. yeah ok nice priorities ghost boy. im having the time of my life here.

'take it to your grave type thing' 'oh wait i have a thing for that' because yes phantom man has a grave for his servermate. in the murder graveyard. normal person thing the have. definitely.

he literally just murdered someone. nice. i support him.

now they are bullying the man who is constantly trembling.

no object permanence.... they are best friends

casually blowing a hole in the wall of the irs' tax bunker. after being told repeatedly to not do it. just hot girl things ig

JUST PUT A BLANKET OVER IT SHE WONT KNOW

AND NOW THERES A WARDEN

beautiful. wonderful. they are so dead

vanessa....

'yeah btw jamie mightbe being corrupted by void'

also fun fact! i am guessing everyones origins as we go. i know nothing i went in blind. its great. nothing is explained i love life

this episode is a train wreck. its so so great

'SNEVE WERE GODS'

'yeah this is a good place' 'so what about the queens head right there' 'dwbi'

'i have a wish no one on the smp is prepareed for' oh no.

'it kinda transformed into its own, evil throne room' yeah ok thats perfectly normal. sure. vaults always turn into evil throne rooms. thats normal.

whats your plan viking. viking whats your plan

oh no hes gonna set legundo and fix againsteach other. i cant wait

lmao their concern over his laughs. dw guys hes just a silly lil guy. a buddy. not a murder ghost at alll

my new skrunkly is going insane. good for him

oh. good noises.

i love his evil laugh.

he got the carpet echest thing from tango!!! :D

for the record i am a tango tek enjoyer. he is my Guy tm

taneesha jumping around. bouncies.

LEGUNDO JUST SHIVERING. THE ENTIRE TIME

'the queen doesnt scare me' sir. poor move. probably.

YOU DO NOT FEAR THE VOID? THE ALL CONSUMING NOTHING? THE ETERNAL DARK?

oh. oh he just wants his memories back. hm what is going on here.

'i dont want to be a ghost forever. its lonely' ow. ow

viking the puppetmaster.... pulling the strings of chaos

finale time. oh god. im not ready actually

the PODIUM..... my god

JAMIE NO

'THIS MIGHT BE REALLY BAD' yeah the queen just got possessed by the void and flew off with the egg. and you think it MIGHT be bad???

'for chaos to be fun theres gotta be a world left' yeah. true

IT WORKED IT WORKED IT WORKED IT WORKED

he got nuggies!!!!

'nothing could possibly go wrong' legundo said, before everything went wrong

oh shit. ok. yeah ok that was. shitt

conclusion: viking dominionsmp is a pathetic wet rag and also a catboy who deserves to Kill. i fucking love this smp

[seokwoosmole]

Ok I just realized why Rowoon's acting in TKA is far superior than his acting in his previous projects. Aside from the fact that this plot is much more emotional and dramatic, therefore requiring actors to be capable of portraying a greater range and volume of emotions, AND besides the fact that the romantic part of the plot was much more complex than that of his other roles, what truly made this role different from his others was THAT HE HAD PARENTS!?!?

This literally occurred to me for the first time today while watching the scene where Ji-un's dad dies in his arms (which totally wrecked me btw but I'll get back to that later). In Extra-ordinary You, Haru had no family whatsoever, since he was a background character in a comic, therefore he was written without relationships in his life. And in She Would Never Know/Sunbae, Don't Put On That Lipstick (which was strictly an office romance – not many other aspects to that plot), his character had parents but were never shown on-screen and were not important at all to his character. The King's Affection is literally the first drama where Rowoon has parents💀 (at least ones that are relevant to his character and the plot). And WOW were they relevant. Maybe not so much his mother, but I think some of Rowoon's best acting scenes from TKA are the ones involving Ji-un's father. It's such a complex relationship and the way Rowoon acted was just sooo perfect. It'd be easy to play a son that loved his father or a son that hated his father, but Ji-un's relationship with his dad is so beautifully messy and complicated. He's angry with his father and he hates his father's actions and choices, but it's still clear that despite everything, a part of Ji-un still loves him. And that is what Rowoon portrayed so beautifully – almost every time Ji-un had intense scenes with his father, the emotion his face carried was not just anger, but sadness and disappointment. And disappointment comes from being let down by people we care about and that's exactly what made their bond so interesting. Ji-un's relationship with his father first fell apart after he killed that court maid so ruthlessly, which heavily scarred him but also disappointed him, because this was not the father Ji-un knew him to be.

tka ep33 (s3 ep9)

my favorite forever-17 baby T_T you look kind of generic here but i still love you

they really made some baffling sartorial decisions in this ep like what's the in-universe reason that li rui and qf are the only ones wearing ee team uniform but then when they go take the challenge qf literally changes out of his uniform to do so. i know narratively it's gonna be so that he can go look for yx at happy cafe but then why not just have him not wearing the uniform here.

also i'm sorry but what even is this tshirt sweater collared shirt qf would never. it's not even red.

tbh i miss clear plastic jacket qf.

anyway. the flashbacks! his expressions! wahhhhh

despite all the other animation complaints, i think i like the fight animation in s3 more than in s2—they're more creative with the choreography which i really enjoy, that's something that you can only really get in this medium, that creative license with the game mechanics. in s2 i noticed they took a lot of shortcuts with like impact backgrounds and face closeups etc

yx's expression when he realizes how much qf hates him at this moment 😭

i like this portrayal of the coaching match! obviously in the novel they can be much more subtle with it, vs here where yx has to point out things explicitly—but i like getting to know these specific details!

qf's angry voice 😭

dm has this saved as his secret desktop wallpaper (sorry someone had to screencap it)

oooh yeah and i remember some of these moves from the trailers. man i love spear fights gotta be my fave cold weapon

omg yx shaking out his hands 😭 also this def would've been a smoke break except we can't show yx smoking anymore lol

maybe in THIS universe qf will catch up to yx <- me, delusional

but no actually the editing for that whole chasing bit, the camera panning and the cuts and split screen—very nice very heart-breaking 🥺 god bb is just so efficient with storytelling like qf isn't even mentioned until now and then BAM heartwrenching backstory

i love how thye convey the difference in time via the lighting... same street but just missed each other...

alrighttt but at least in this universe we must still get the cinematic punch yeahhhh wooooo

the bgm for this whole ep is truly on point

boo he didn't even fall over

ooh next ep preview has some fun shots im excited!!! everlasting! dawn rifle!

[saxifactumterritum]

I was fishing for screenshots for a thing for Lynne and now I have a collection of faces from episode 23 TKA.

the face of a man who's just discovered something he's going to have so much fun with:

[image description: a screenshot of Yu Wenzhou from the live action 'The King's Avatar', he is turning his head away but you can see he's smiling, you can see the muscles in his face like he's fighting it a bit. End ID].

The face of the smuggest man ever:

[ID: screenshot of Yu Wenzhou, same show, framed by blurry hands on a laptop at the bottom of the image. He's holding a water bottle, about to drink, his smile is very smug. End ID].

Wouldn't you trust this face? Most innocent face ever:

[ID: a screenshot of Huang Shaotian, same show, sitting at a counter with a laptop that he's turning away to hide the screen, looking at Yu Wenzhou out of shot, smiling with his lips closed and tight, his eyes a bit wide, his body leaning ever so slightly away. End ID].

The face of a man who cannot believe he's having to actually literally point at the huge projection:

[ID: screenshot of Yu Wenzhou, his water bottle out of focus held up to point out of shot. His eyebrows are raised, right higher than the left, his expression sort of blank, mouth relaxed, like he's waiting. The very bottom of a screenreader command-bar is still visible at the top. End ID].

The face of a man happy to be winning, very amused, but also still can't really believe that he's being insulted on a huge projector screen or that his vice captain is Like This. Very great face:

[ID: screenshot of Yu Wenzhou, his smile is quite wide and his eyes are crinkled up, but his eyebrows are still slightly raised. The progress bar for the video is visible, with the episode title: The King's Avatar, S1:E23, Episode 23. End ID].

They both have such great expressions in this show. I know most of these are Yu Wenzhou, he has a whole many face journeys in this bit, it's so funny.

[lynne-monstr]

i’m sorry i’m probably annoying but i have no friends who are into tka that i can yell at and i saw that post you reblogged about writing sad stories about characters you love and i was like ‘that is literally me with xsq rn, O M G’ okay i’ll shut up now, i just appreciated the post xD have a nice day!

hiii! i love getting yelled at about tka! it's so great. and yayy xsq stories, he is great i love him a whole lot even though i don't write enough fic about him. torturing your faves is a time-honored fandom tradition. i hope you have a good day too!

brb crying 

.

tfw you realize - the account is attached to the card. Meaning this line:

“Almost ten years.” Ye Xiu answered confirming that he and the card were one.  

It’s actually false. because. the first-edition account card Ye Xiu had was One Autumn Leaf - now in the hands of Sun Xiang. 

No. this card is Su Muqiu’s. 

Ye Xiu has been casually constantly carrying aroung Su Muqiu’s account card with Lord Grim for fuck knows how long.
