[F4M] You Leave a Naughty Voicemail for Your Husband While He Works Overtime [Established Relationship][Mutual Masturbation][Car Sex][Sub to Soft Dom][Breeding Kink][Mating Press][No Thoughts][Brain Empty][Just Fucking]
Read Part 1 here!
Pairing: husband!Nanami x f!reader
Rating: Explicit - MINORS DO NOT INTERACT
Word Count: ~3.6k

Summary: You record a naughty voicemail for your husband while he works overtime, leaving him yearning for more.Ā Authorās Note: Hiya friends! Breaking my tumblr hiatus temporarily to post this. Consider this a sequel/part 2 to my other fic inspired by more NSFW audio. Someone gave me the idea to do a fic with the roles reversed, so here it is! Had a blast writing this, so I hope you enjoy! Bonus: here are some NSFW audios that inspired it (of course, theyāre AugustInTheWinter): Link 1, Link 2 (reddit links, 18+). Likes, comments, and/or reblogs are always appreciated, thanks so much for reading! Header image from the manga On Doorstep (it's BL and the MC looks like Nanami, I highly recommend). MDNI banner created by @/mikeykuns.
Itās past eleven when Nanami steps out of the conference room with the rest of his colleagues, having just finished the last team meeting of the day. He was asked to work overtime to help fix any remaining issues before the end of the fiscal year, which is in a few days. Normally, heād never agree to this, but with your wedding anniversary approaching in a month, he wants the extra income to buy you that gold chain bracelet youāve had an eye on.Ā
With all his tasks complete for the day, he can finally leave. He gathers his belongings, checking his phone to see the missed call and voicemail you left him about an hour ago.Ā She must be asleep already, he thinks, not bothering to call you back. When he gets in his car, he props his phone to the mount, ready to listen to your voicemail on Bluetooth while he drives home. He presses play as soon as he pulls out from his parking spot.
āKento.ā Your voice is hushed and breathy. āI miss you.ā
Nanami clenches his jaw, already aroused by your sultry tone. He grips the steering wheel tighter, glancing at the phone screen to check the length of the voicemail: three minutes. Thatās the limit before it cuts you off. And while the ride home is a mere ten, he has a feeling it will be excruciatingly long by the way this message is already playing.Ā
You sigh. āI miss you so much, Kento.ā Thereās rustling in the background; Nanami imagines that youāre turning over in bed, under the covers. What are you wearing right now? The cute flannel pajamas he bought you two years ago for Valentineās Day? Or the lingerie set you purchased yourself to surpriseĀ himĀ for your most recent anniversary? At this rate, for his own sanity, heās not sure which one he prefers.Ā
āI canāt wait till you get home, honey. Iām soā¦ā Your voice is heavy with lust; he can see the provocative face youāre making as you squeeze the phone to your ear, reaching between your legs to that throbbing pussy. āIām so horny right now. I wish you were here.ā If he listens closely, he can hear the squelch of fingers flicking your clit rapidly. āBut since youāre not, is it okay if I touch myself?ā
Heās tempted to slam on the gas and fly through the city to get to you in record time. Break all driving violations and his own personal morals to watch you play with yourself. Itās torture, sitting behind this red light, following the rules, listening to you moan into the phone, so needy and desperate for his cock. Whatās worse is that youāre ovulating this week; he knows how pent up you must be from his absence tonight. Fertile and in heat, that wet sloppy cunt begging to be filled with his seed. He promised heād make it up to you tomorrow morning, but why waste this perfectly good opportunity? Especially when youāre practically begging for it.Ā
āRemember how good you fucked me last night? How you pinned me down by the wrists? How tightly I squeezed my legs around you as you pumped me full of cum?ā Itās all Nanami thought about when he wasnāt focused on work today. Enough to force him into the menās room to jerk himself off, fantasizing about it. Replaying your wanton moans ringing in his ears, the way your body convulsed around him, that adorably dumb expression on your face while you were getting fucked into oblivion. Normally, heād be ashamed of himself at how lewd he was being in a work setting, but the memory of you was too irresistible, even for him.Ā
Heās not usually perverse like this, but something about you drives him crazy. His hands are typically at 10-and-2, the correct position to steer the wheel. But just this once, he deems it necessary to lose his prim and proper attitude. He drops one into his lap to unbuckle his belt, unzip his pants, and reach down to palm his cock through his briefs. Itās enough to gain a bit of relief from this torment, at least until heās safely home. Nanami wipes the sweat beading on his brow, accelerating too hard when the light finally switches to green, keeping his grip steady as he strokes his cock, listening intently to your voice surrounding him in the car.Ā
āAre you hard right now, Kento?ā Thereās more movement in the background, as if youāre opening and shutting a drawer. Blood rushes into his cheeks, predicting exactly what youāre about to do. āDo you like listening to me touch myself?ā Thereās a familiar hum now, and he visualizes the pink vibrator buzzing in your hand, the fluttering tip teasing your swollen clit. Heād do anything to teleport directly into the bedroom and have his way with you.Ā Ā
āIām so lonely in this bed without you. Iām fucking myself, thinking about you. Wishing itās you instead of this stupid toy. Can you hear it, sweetie?ā
āYes,ā he answers to no one, shoving his underwear down to release his erection, stroking himself faster with his right fist. Heās forced to stop again; how many fucking streetlights does this goddamn city need anyways?! Itās excruciating.Ā
āMy pussy is aching for your big cock.ā The buzzing intensifies; youāve increased the setting one level, on the verge of an orgasm. Typical behavior of his obedient slut of a wife. He loves sliding his fingers inside while you press the vibrator deeper into your clit. Heās obsessed with the way you gush around him, clenching him tighter, addicted to how it tastes on his tongue when he slides those cum-coated digits into his mouth.Ā
āHurry home, honey. Iām waiting for you. This pussy is already so wet for you. Iām going to use you as my sex toy tonight.ā
āFuck, I want that. I really want that,ā Nanami moans in response, releasing his cock from his grasp, thighs fidgeting from arousal.Ā
āYou love it when I use you, huh? Love it when I fuck you silly until youāre milked dry.ā
He groans, bucking his hips into nothing in the seat, briefly losing control of the wheel, causing the car to swerve. āFuck, I love it, sweetie. I love it.Ā Please.ā Heās not sure what heās begging for. All he knows is that if he doesnāt get home soon, heāll combust, taking the car down with him.Ā
āFuck, Kento. Iām thinking about how deep you hit it from behind. Slapping my ass, treating me like a bad girl, pounding your hips into me like a fucking animal. I get so fucking cock drunk off you. Makes me want to come just talking about it.ā
āThen come for me, baby,ā he blurts out, fully aware heās talking to a recording. Heās completely lost it now.Ā
āAh, Iām close. I ā ā you interrupt yourself with your own whimpers. Nanami listens as he cruises past the speed limit now, wiping the bead of precum at the tip of his cock with his thumb,Ā Ā edging himself. Itād be a shame for him to waste his load onto his lap. Heās going to give you every fucking drop he has. Build it up so that your pussy is flooding with his hot, sticky mess.Ā
You whine loudly, āIām coming, Kento. Ah, Iām coming for you.ā You moan into the phone, and Nanami has to release himself to prevent from orgasming too, Then, thereās silence on your end, except for your staggered breaths and occasionally rustling of the sheets beneath you. Eventually, the voicemail ends without another word, and he assumes that youāve fallen asleep. He smiles to himself, imagining you, his gorgeous wife, with your legs splayed out, vibrator loosely gripped, completely knocked out on the bed.Ā
He replays the voicemail, continuing to edge himself until he finally pulls into their driveway, opening the garage. He parks, shutting off the ignition, then searches the backseat for the box of tissues, wanting to clean up whatever mess heās made. Before he gets the chance to, the door leading inside swings open, and itās you, standing in the door frame in a sheer lingerie nightgown. The same one he expected youād be wearing tonight.Ā
He swallows hard, cock still out, stiffer than ever, watching you step towards the driverās side, bright face peering through the window. You glance to his lap, noticing the lewd sight.Ā
You tap on the glass, feigning innocence. āKento?ā
He opens the door slowly, face flushed, eyes half-lidded in a daze. āSweetheart,Ā please.āĀ
His slacks have been shoved off haphazardly down his legs, engorged cock sprung against his abdomen, precum leaking out the tip. His cheeks are pink, hair tousled, forehead dewy with sweat. You smirk at him, pleased to see that heās listened to your voicemail. āOh, honey. Look at you. Have you been a bad boy?ā You surround him with your fingers, jerking him slowly. He twitches at your touch, sensitive and aching in your fist.Ā
He shakes his head, shutting his eyes closed as you stroke him. āNo,ā he stutters, āIāve been very good.ā
You inspect the car, realizing what heās trying to convey to you; he hasnāt come yet. āOh, baby,ā you coo, squeezing his cock in your fist. āYouāve been very,Ā veryĀ good. My good boy.ā
He nods this time, leaning forward for a kiss. āYes, Iām a good boy for you. Iām your good boy,ā he huffs through gritted teeth. Nanami isnāt normally like this, so submissive and needy. But tonight, he has zero hesitation; heās begging to be dominated, to be used and toyed with.Ā
You lick into his mouth, nipping at his bottom lip. āDo you want your reward now? Or should we go inside first?ā
He wonāt last much longer, so he spits out, āNow.Ā Please.ā
You smirk, kissing him messily, tongues swirling, swapping spit while his dick pulsates in your palm. āFuck,ā he groans, rocking his hips into you. āIām going to come if you keep ā ā he chokes on his saliva, unable to finish his sentence.Ā
You giggle, nibbling at his ear lobe. āIf I doĀ what, baby?ā You want to tease him a bit more, so you bend over his lap, kneeling on the bottom frame of the car, sinking down on him with your mouth. He throws his head back against the headrest, swearing loudly. You blow him until his cock is lubricated with your spit and heās squirming above you, ready to burst.Ā
He pulls you off him abruptly, tugging you towards him. āI canāt,ā he urges, completely red now, all frenzied and flustered. āPlease, I canāt take it anymore.ā
Giggling, you swing your leg over him, straddling his lap and smooching his forehead. āAlright, honey. I tormented you enough.ā Youāre not wearing any panties beneath your nightgown, so when you start to rub yourself on his shaft, his eyes widen in surprise, staring at you, sputtering a mix of curses and nonsense.
You grin, kissing him softly, rocking yourself along his length. āI told you, didnāt I? This pussy isĀ soĀ wet for you. Iāve been prepping myself all night, thinking about you.ā
āFuck, Iām going to come. Put it in, sweetheart.Ā Hurry.ā
You guide him in you easily until he bottoms out, sitting on him without moving, licking into his mouth. His hands slide around your hips, holding you tenderly, staying still, melting into your kiss. Before you can start bouncing on him, he squeezes you, huffing, āIām coming.āĀ
His dick pulsates, spurting his hot seed deep inside you. You continue to kiss him, smiling against his lips, pleased and satisfied. When heās finished, you graze his ear. āGood boy.ā
āFuck,ā he mutters, brows knit together, eyes shut tight. He opens one to peek at you, embarrassed. āThis is your fault.ā The blush on his face cascades along his neck. āYou knew this would happen when you left me that voicemail.ā
Laughing, you give him a smooch on his cheek. āYouāre right. I was being bad tonight. Are you going to punish me for it?ā You tug at his tie, loosening it on his collar, trailing his chest to unbutton his dress shirt.Ā
He relaxes, smirking as he slaps your ass with his palm, cupping the flesh immediately after. You whine his name at the contact, nuzzling into his neck. āAh, Kento.ā
āBad girls deserve to be punished,ā he growls, low and wicked, delivering a fresh smack to the other side. His cock is erect again inside you, stuffing you full once more. āYouāre going to take this cock until I canāt get hard anymore. Understand?ā He rocks you back and forth on him, thumb pressed at your clit, rubbing small circles. āUntil this slutty little cunt is so full of my cum.ā
You nod silently, clinging to his shoulders, body trembling with arousal. The switch in demeanor, from him begging you for sweet release to now being domineering and cocky, has you titillating for more. He chuckles, wrapping you in snug embrace, kissing the top of your head. āLook at you, darling. Youāre shaking. Letās go to the bedroom, okay princess?ā And his ability to turn on this sweet charm has you softening in his arms, pliant and ready to be played with.Ā
Soon, youāre inside your bedroom, legs spread wide, some residual cum trickling down the inside of your thighs. He strips his remaining clothes off, cock unbelievable rigid in his fist, jerking himself off to the sight of you in your transparent lingerie, his load leaking from your slit.Ā
āYouāre a fucking slut for getting me worked up like this,ā he grunts, hovering over you, tapping the tip of his dick on your swollen clit. āI edged myself the entire drive, saving all this cum for you.ā
You bite your lip, holding back the guttural, animalistic moan escaping from within your throat. His confession has you quaking, eager to be filled even more to the brim with his seed, eager to beĀ bred. You can blame it on the fact that youāre currently in heat, or that youāre just this much in love with your husband that you canāt think of anything else you want more in this moment than to be connected with him. You grip the sheets below you, fanning your thighs impatiently, waiting for his cock. āBreed me, honey. Fuck all your cum inside me. I want all of it, every single drop.Ā Hurry.ā
Oh how quickly do the roles reverse.Ā
He slides his cock inside you, his own cum coating it as he pulls out slightly, observing the lewd scene. āLook at how full you are, and itās still not enough. Such a greedy cum slut.ā He spits a frothy wad of his saliva onto your clit, smearing it with his thumb. āYouāre going to come on this cock before I give youĀ anything. Got it?ā
You nod, closing your eyes, turning your head to the side, losing yourself to the pleasure rippling through your body as he pounds into your pussy, the sensation so intense it resonates all the way down to your toes. Heās so mean, so unlike his usual doting self when heās in this mood, and you canāt help but succumb to it. He tips your chin back towards him. āLook at it,ā he demands. You open your eyes, his expression wild, fucking you faster, his thumb working your clit ruthlessly. āWatch me fuck this messy cunt.ā He grips you behind the legs, hoisting you so that your knees are towards your chest, holding you into a mating press. Unable to contain it any longer, you moan loudly, grabbing at your own ankles to keep yourself spread wide for him as he thrusts in and out of you relentlessly.Ā
āThis is what you wanted, isnāt it sweetheart? To be fucked and pounded byĀ meĀ instead of that silly toy. To use me and milk me dry of every last drop. You asked for this. This is what you get for being so fucking naughty.ā He rests one of your legs onto his shoulder, turning to smooch the side of your knee, sucking on your skin.Ā
You continue to moan his name until itās reduced into a blubber of incoherent cries as youāre pushed over the edge, reaching your climax. āThatās it, come on my cock, princess. Thatās a good girl.ā Still, he doesnāt ease up; in fact, he fucks you harder, spurred by your orgasm, intent on chasing another. āJust keep taking it, okay beautiful? I know you can do it.ā He pounds you into the mattress, the bed creaking noisily beneath you with each solid thrust, perspiration dripping from his body onto yours. Youāre no longer thinking clearly; everything is in a haze, blissful and euphoric, only your husband on your brain. Heās fucked all other thoughts out of you. Has you obsessed with his cock, hungry for his cum, keen on him to breed your fertile womb.
āFuck, Kento, right there! Right there!ā you cry out, grasping his hair between your fingers, pulling him in for a sloppy kiss.Ā
āRight there, huh?ā he teases, slowing his pace to thrust deep into your G-spot, nails digging into the flesh of your hips. āAlways taking me so fucking deep.ā He grabs your wrist, placing your hand at your clit. āTouch yourself while I fuck you. Squirt on my cock like a good little slut.ā
You obey him, flicking your sensitive bud with your middle finger while he watches intently, another orgasm fast approaching. You twitch around him, pleasure overtaking your entire body, sending a rush of ecstasy that has you seeing stars.Ā
Of course, it still isnāt enough for him. Not after what you put him through earlier. āTurn over,ā he mutters, pulling out, cum spilling onto the sheets. āYou know what to do.ā
Heās right; itās second nature to you now, to throw your ass back and fuck yourself with his cock. All he has to do is kneel behind you with his hard dick out while you swallow him whole, pumping it in and out of your pussy. It doesnāt matter how pliant you feel, or how fucked out you are, tongue lolling out of your mouth, drool leaking from the sides of your lips. You know exactly what to do to get what you want out of him.Ā
You can feign innocence all you want, pretend to be shocked when he manhandles you like a fucking rag doll, slamming his hips into you, wet slaps bouncing off the walls of your bedroom. Shrieking when he presses his rough fingers to your swollen clit. Burying your face into the pillow, muffling your shameless moans and shrieks of, āFuck me, fuck me, fuck me!ā This is what you intended when you spread your legs earlier, phone in your hand, ready to leave that filthy voicemail for him, knowing heād listen on his way home. Knowing heād save all his cum for you because youāre ovulating, and he wants more than anything to get you pregnant. Knowing heād want to fuck you into a frenzy regardless, always desperate to empty his load inside you. Itās what you want because you know he wants it too. Thatās what makes it even better, knowing your husband is as feral for you as you are for him.Ā
āFuck, Iām close,ā he whispers, voice wavering.
Craning your neck to face him, you murmur, āWant to see you.ā
He smiles, pulling out, your pussy fluttering around the emptiness, already eager to be filled again. āI want to see you too, my love.ā He flips you over, pushing your knees towards your ears into a deeper mating press, kissing you sweetly on the lips. You wrap your arms around him, whining his name into his ear as he fucks you rough, the bed frame precariously shifting with each plunge of his cock.Ā
āFuck, Iām coming,ā he groans, cock twitching and spurting every hot pulse inside you. āTake all of my cum, sweetheart. All of it,ā he mutters, forehead pressed to yours. āI love you. I love you so much.ā
When he finishes, he lowers your legs slowly, rolling beside you to cradle you in his arms. You nestle into his chest, listening to his steadying heartbeat. āAre you okay, sweetie?ā he asks, massaging small circles into your back.
You nod against him, remaining silent, too drained to even respond with words. He lets you rest like this for a moment before hopping off the bed, stepping into the bathroom, rummaging through the cupboards. Shortly after, he returns to you with a container of baby wipes in hand and a glass of water in the other.Ā
Youāre a mess down there, sleek, wet, and gushing with slick. He kneels beside you, wiping your forehead first from sweat. You peer up at him, smiling, cupping his cheek. āThank you,ā you mouth to him. With another, he cleans your hands, then your legs, always glancing at you to make sure youāre still doing fine. Youāre truly grateful for having a spouse as attentive and as caring as your husband, who, despite his typically stoic disposition, always dotes on you so sweetly.Ā
Done cleaning you up, he traces the outline of your lips with his thumb, saying, āDrink water, honey.ā
You grumble at him, pretending to be asleep. He chuckles, leaning in closer for a kiss. āAnd go pee.ā
You peek at him with one eye open, nuzzling your nose to his. āOkay, fine. But after you hold me for one more minute.ā
He smiles, sliding his arms around you. āAnything you want, sweetheart. Anything you want.ā

Queer Book Bundle
Hey Tumblr, it's the end of the year, which means me and a couple of my friends are doing a queer indie book bundle. Now more than ever it's important to support independent creators. Many of us in the bundle fall under the trans umbrella, and the bundle is hosted on a cool site called itch.io so your money will be going directly to creators instead of big corporations like the zon.
15 different authors, 24 eBooks, $24 dollars
A list of all the books included Ice Upon A Pier by LADZ Fealty Of Monsters by LADZ The Cradle Of Eternal Night by LADZĀ ROTGUT by HS Wolfe In The Garden Of Echo by HS Wolfe One Saturday Morning by Tyler Battaglia An Encounter Of A Friendly Kind by Elias Strange Unbound by Luna Fiore Unbroken by Luna Fiore Velvet: Seaon One Antlers by Friction Press The Kingās Mushroom by Achilles King Vice + Virtue by Magnus Thorne Hawthorne by Sirius The Devil Owns Prime Time by SiriusĀ To Dance Among Electric Stars by Lysander ArdenĀ Mother Of Pearl by AA Fairview Peaceful In The Dark by AA Fairview House Training by Claude Hamesh Eyetooth by Mara AdlerĀ Unholy Favors by Mars Adler Deck The Holes by Wren V LothaireĀ Life Beyond Her Silver Chain by Jem Zero Shacharit by Claude Hamesh Pikuach Nefesh by Claude Hamesh If you're curious about what ITCHIO is, it's basically a site intended for indie game devs to host projects where a larger portion of profits goes directly to the people creating things. It also hosts TTRPGS, ebooks, physical books, and a couple other things. It's an incredibly robust site that values the people uploading projects to it, and one of the few safe places from censorship towards queer adult works and queer erotica. Highly recommend just checking it out in general, because there's a lot of cool shit to be found. If you can't buy the bundle reblogs are greatly appreciated! Hoping to find the freaks that want to read my weird trans books <3

Masterlist of my ā12 Days of Fandomā recs, inspired by this post. As always, please check the tags and author's notes before reading. Enjoy!
šø Terminal Lucidity by @romaine2424 (Drarry, HD Career Fair, rated G, 3K) This bittersweet fic has Harry putting his abilities as Master of Death to good use by comforting those close to death themselves. We see him at work here, adeptly easing the way for someone dear to him with compassion and care. I found this story incredibly moving and a beautiful portrait of family ties in the face of an impending loss. Featuring older, established Drarry and the Black-Malfoy family.
š¹ Our Objective Remains Unchanged by @citrusses (Drarry, rated E, 46K) Gorgeously and vividly written, this university rowing AU drew me in right from the get-go, despite the fact that Muggle AUs are not my typical cuppa. The enemies-to-lovers tension is perfectly paced as Harry and Draco fight for the same spot on the Oxford team. Citrusses did a fantastic job translating their backgrounds and personalities (as well as those of other familiar characters from the books) into this world. Class divisions and the pressure of a highly-public sporting event stand in very effectively for Harryās canon experiences. All in all, the story has the poignancy and drama of a lush coming of age film, and I canāt recommend it highly enough!
šø The Pile by @b-vul (Drarry, not rated, about 1.5K) This hilarious ficlet was born out of littlewinnowās tumblr post about Veela!Harry performing an intricate mating dance to impress Draco. Delightfully, itās from Harryās POV as he blindly ātrusts his instinctsā to guide him into increasingly bizarre actions. And the evolution of Dracoās reaction is pure comedy gold. Iāve come back to reread this one a couple of times, and it never fails to have me in stitches. (The tumblr thread also contains adorable art by regretfulcorrine!)
š¹ Shine on, You Crazy Diamond by @lagerloutfic (Drarry, HD Mpreg Fest, rated E, 42K) This is one of those fics that you canāt stop reading once you start (something I confirmed this morning when I went to skim through it for this rec and wound up spending a few happy hours devouring the entire thing again). Itās laugh-out-loud funny and deliciously smutty, with a full cast of delightful side characters and just the right amount of feelings. The story begins with the discovery of Dracoās surprise pregnancy, then switches to a long flashback of Harryās gay awakening and his fast sexual/slow emotional burn relationship with Draco. The entire fic has a joyful feelābanter-filled pub nights, chaotic family dinners, audacious curse breakingāculminating in the babyās arrival, which left me in happy tears and wishing for another 40K of this fabulous story. Featuring confident Harry, supportive friends & family, hot Charlie, and some shamelessly kinky Unspeakables.
šø Silhouettes by @sweet-s0rr0w (Draco/Ron/Harry, Dronarry Fest, rated E, 16K) Draco/Ron/Harry is not a ship Iād ventured into before I read this fic, but Iām so glad I did! Sweetās writing always hits the right spot in my brain, and her alternating POVs and spot-on characterizations of all three boys are delightful. I especially loved Ronās sexy self-assurance here. The unique magical theory around sentient houses is fascinating and ultimately poignant, once Draco gets to the root cause of the Burrowās behavior. Sweet-sorrow surely lived up to her username with this one, weaving grief with humor and a heartwarming resolution.
š¹ Harry Potter Gets a Job (A 106-Page Comic) by dustmouth (Drarry, HD Career Fair, rated M) Dustmouthās comics never miss, I swear! In this one, we find Harry overcoming his distrust of Draco with the help of the Weasleys, especially Ron (who is definitely up to something himself). All of my favorite Dustmouth elements are here: the expressive characters, Dracoās wild wardrobe choices, and punchy dialogue galore. Also featuring drunken shenanigans at the Burrow, adorable Teddy, and some first-class Slytherin-ing by Draco to win his man (and find Harry that job). What a treat!
šø the earth from a distance by spqr (Drarry, rated E, 15K) A whirlwind time-travel fic with breezy humor, bedsharing, and spqrās unmatched smut with feelingsā¦ What more could you ask for in a fic? Oh, yeah: fantastic worldbuilding for Hogwarts in 1599, brilliantly clever Draco, and a dash of enemies to lovers. I can never get enough of this author!
š¹ A Year In The Life by @ladderofyears (Drarry, HD Career Fair, rated M, 19K) I swear, the author conjured a little bit of magic to write this story. Itās told entirely with 50-word microfics, one journal entry for each day of 2006 (an impressive feat, by itself!), and yet it reads just as smoothly as any traditional fic. Dracoās voice is perfect here, full of wit and subtle emotion, as his and Harryās developing romance takes a sharp turn with an unexpected pregnancy.Ā Dracoās anticipation, worry, and joy are mixed with deftly-chosen details of his daily life, all captured with Emmaās trademark tenderness and warmth. This fic is a perfect comfort read for family feels and gentle romance.
šø try to fix you by @maesterchill (Harry/Ron/Hermione, HP Snooze Fest, rated M, 2K) A beautifully and tenderly written hurt/comfort fic set in the aftermath of the Battle of Hogwarts. Ron is the glue that holds the trio together here, caring for Harry and Hermione with gentle devotion. Thereās no dialogue needed to tell this story, just Ronās perceptive POV that captures the grief and love that compel him. I have a soft spot for this triad forming immediately after the war, as a way of holding onto each other and holding themselves together. Maesterās fic makes their transition from friends to lovers feel like the first step towards healing.
š¹ The Scent of Soft Rains by @dodgerkedavra (Drarry, HD Career Fair, rated E, 20K) When Harry is left housebound and isolated by a traumatic injury, magical prosthetist Draco gets called into help. But Harryās struggles go far beyond the physical ones. This recovery fic combines magical and non-magical therapeutic treatments in a way I canāt remember reading before. The hurt/comfort is just as it should beāboth heart-wrenching and soothingābut there are enough surprising revelations to keep the story from feeling predictable. Draco is wonderfully unflinching and patient, and the ending left me crying happy tears. With lovely, restrained prose and vivid magical imagery, this oneās an absolute stunner.
šø Connecting Lines, Connecting Crimes by @sleepstxtic (Drarry, H/D Career Fair, rated M, 15K) With its intriguing careers, fascinating magical theory, and well-researched worldbuilding, this story captured my attention immediately, and the mystery at the heart of it kept me engrossed. This was one of the more thought-provoking fics Iāve had the pleasure of reading, exploring the intersection of magic, the environment, and colonialism. Harryās first-person POV is lovely, and it feels like weāre learning to love India and the people he meets along with him. The getting-back-together romance is gentle but satisfying, propelled by pent-up yearning thatās palpable. Thereās so much to enjoy here, all in only 15K words!
š¹ Waking Up Slow by @sweet-s0rr0w and @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm (Drarry, H/D Wireless Fest, rated E, 22K) The first word that comes to mind while reading this fic is charming. First thereās the novel setting: a Christmas shop in the tourist destination of Cheddar Gorge, in the middle of a July heatwave. Next, thereās the shop itself, so imaginatively described and full to the brim with clever Muggle and magical details. Then there are the delightful OCs, Dracoās seemingly unhinged enthusiasm for all things Christmas (including ridiculous jumpers), and Harryās complete disregard for professional behavior. But underneath the playful banter and humor, thereās also a layer of poignancy to tug at the heartstrings, especially when we find out the backstories behind Harryās and Dracoās unlikely careers. And to top it all off, like the glowing star on the tree, are Joyās exuberant, colorful illustrations. This is a Christmas-y fic Iād reread any time of the year.
Thanks to all these brilliant creators for sharing their work with us!
Happy New Year!

Hi! I'm not new to Myka and Helena, I remembered them from the 2010s and now watched the show just for them, but I am new to Myka and Helena fanfiction.
Do you know any more fics like this https://archiveofourown.org/works/957200?view_adult=true or vaguely like this?
Is there a big masterlist of good Myka and Helena fics? I've been reading through their tag on AO3, but there are 1600+ fics šÆ so it'll take me a while to read them. I'd like to read some good ones.
Hi and thank you for asking, anon! That fic is great, isn't it! (clickable version of the written-out link anon sent: Resigned to These Histories (We Exist) by journaliar/@snake-juice)
Anon, as far as I am aware, there is no *one* big masterlist.
Several people in this fandom have made their own rec lists over time, of course, from the very beginning. (The older they are, unfortunately, the higher the chance that some links might not work anymore, but you can still try them out!) I have a "fic rec" tag on my main blog (linked in case you want to know the source; that tag contains other fics too, not just Bering and Wells, but all of them femslash), and here are some Bering and Wells specific lists that I've found going through it:
styrofoamtokyo's list, from 2014
tracybering's list of Tracy Bering friendly fics and art, also from 2014
lonely-night's lists from 2017 and 2018
wibblywobblyida's list from 2021
There's also the Ballet AU, a collaboration with multiple fics and pieces of art, from several of this fandom's best authors and artists; highly recommended, masterpost here.
I'm sure there are more fic rec lists slumbering on people's blogs! So here's my call to anyone who sees this post: please link yours!
I myself am trying to assemble recs on an individual basis. Almost a year ago, I tried to make a list of what has been already recommended through this post, but now that is way out of date, of course.
Beyond these lists, the usual tips for AO3 and Tumblr apply (under a readmore for length):
when you found a fic you liked, click on the author's name and see what else they've written for the ship/fandom, see if you like those too
check if that author's bookmarks are public; those are fics that they liked, and maybe you'll like them too
and then with those fics, you can go to *those* authors' profiles and see what else *they* have written - and so on.
Don't forget to bookmark and/or download these fics so that you can find them again. You need to have a user profile yourself to bookmark fics (and that's not the only advantage; I highly recommend it - and remember, you can set your bookmarks to private if you want).
also, please please consider leaving kudos and comments on fics that you've liked - a lot of authors are still active in the fandom/for the ship, and kudos and comments always help us *stay* active, because they tell us that people still enjoy what we create. Even if the specific fic in question is from the early days of the fandom, kudos and comments are always welcome.
same goes for reblogs on Tumblr, be it the above lists, individual fic rec posts, or posts from the authors themselves with or about their stories.
some authors with a Tumblr blog also have a dedicated "my fics" tag or link on those blogs. Always worth clicking through from an individual Tumblr post to the author's blog, and seeing if something like that is on it - and if the author is still actively writing, consider giving them a follow (and reblogging their fic posts; I've heard from so many authors that their fic posts barely get any reblogs at all to spread the word)
I hope that all or at least some of these tips are helpful to you, Anon - there is a lot of great stuff out there, and you're right, it can be a bit daunting to figure out where to start. And hey, it's always okay to click back out of a fic you find you don't like. No harm no foul, even if the fic came recommended; everyone's taste is different! There is no "required reading" that you *have* to have done to be a fan. You already are, no matter how many fics you've read!

What is word steam?
Word steam is a company that makes "ai generated" audio books. Many of the "audiobooks" on their website are in fact, fanfictions scraped from ao3 and reuploaded without the authors concent.
How do I check if mine has been uploaded?
Go to the website and search your pen name, or your fandom name. I found many popular magnus archives fanfics for example when breifly searching.
*****WEBSITE IS DOWN, FOR NOW.*****
Legally, what next?
Well, OTW legal has been informed of the situation and so far as i can tell, have not responded yet. Equally unfortunately, the creator of the website has responded and...
I will let you all be the judge of these responses:
Reddit:
Hey everybody, the person behind word stream here: I am dyslexic and built word stream to help other students like me who have dyslexia, ADHD, vision challenges, concussions, or anxiety to access fan-fiction, because for us, reading with our eyes can be very challenging and there are no audiobooks for fan fiction typically.Ā Word Stream is free for anyone to use. There is a paid plan for ppl who want to use high quality text to speech which is priced at the minimum amount we can to cover server/gpu costs to power the text to speech. The next iteration will also include free text to speech but with a lower quality bar. I apologize to anyone who saw this and was upset this in no way is our intention. We support all valid take down notices and will always make it right if you reach out to us with the name of your work. [email protected] Please email me if we have a peace of work that is yoursĀ you don't want up there and I will take it down immediately [email protected] A future release will also add the ability to tip authors so writers can make money not from selling the works but via tips from grateful readers, the ability for authors to build and communicate with an email list of readers, ability for authors to see retention graphs of where users drop off during reading, and abilities to authors to easily manage their works. We are strong supporters ofĀ second language learners (non native speakers of English), and of users who love fan fiction but who have a job that makes their hands/eyes busy but ears free. Once again I apologize for a beta product that got more attention that it had any right to before it was complete and for the clearly tone deaf wording which we are fixing to make sure communication is better about take down notices. Warmly, CliffĀ
Tumblr: from @cliffweitzman
(in a reply) Hey everybody, the person behind word stream here. Please email me if we have a peace of work that is yours you don't want up there and I will take it down immediately [email protected] I am dyslexic and built word stream to help other students like me who have dyslexia, adhd, low vision, concussions, anxiety, who are second language learners, or who also love listening to fan fiction but have a job that makes their hands/eyes busy but ears free.

The next iteration will also include free text to speech, we have a paid tier for ppl who want to use high quality text to speech which is priced at the minimum amount we can to cover server/gpu costs to power the text to speech.

We support all valid take down notices and will always make it right if you reach out to us with the name of your work. [email protected]
In these messages, it says to email "[email protected]" - i would caution anyone from doing this immediately, and perhaps wait for OTW Legal to respond to the situation.
you can ALSO file a takedown, which other people in the word steam tag have explained how to do
as writing this, the website is down because of a dns error. i dont really know what that means.
when/if the website goes back up, i HIGHLY recommend checking to see if your fic has been reuploaded.

HELLO !!!
Having now finished binging all of your star wars fics, I come here asking for some recs. Just any of your favourites, bonus points if it will cause emotions (and tears).
Also can't stress enough how much I love your writing, it's so so brilliant <3
(this is neptunesenceladus btw, tumblr hates me and won't let me send asks with a side blog so you get this one)
HI!!! Good to see you, good to see you <3 Always happy to provide recs <3 <3 <3
I want you to know I went through my bookmarks and pulled like sixty fics and had a brief moment of panic, so this is not all of my recs just the first... thirty, or so. If none of these are appealing, oh boy, do I have more!
This list is not in any order other than bookmark order, most are on the shorter side, most are Gen and I am pretty sure all are complete.Ā I tried to warn for stuff that could be a squick when I remembered.
False Dichotomy by nsmorig
Starting off strong with my favorite Cody fic of all time. If you read nothing else on this list I encourage you to read this (if the tags are not a squick) because it will re-shape your brain and shatter your heart into tiny pieces. Basic premise is Force Sensitive Cody gets captured by Dooku and survives torture, experimentation, and imprisonment while trying to figure out his relationship to the Force and to his personhood, and the ways those things are connected.Ā
What's in a Name by Sankt
This is about Fordo post war and itās phenomenal characterization.Ā
The Last Poem of Jedha by schweinsty
How Bohdi Rook becomes a rebel and writes a poem.Ā
you're like a loaded gun by kazhan
Ok this is E and also Underage, so maybe itās a skip, but itās teen Boba/Cal trying to navigate sex and love and secret identities and itās so fucked up and so good.Ā
chicken, cattle and cat by deniigiq
Obi-Wan and Maul living in domestic dis-harmony on Tatooine. What more could you ask.Ā
Little things [are the reason to live] by i_will_bite
Clone medics navigating a slightly hostile working environment and trying to make it less hostile T-T
Two brothers (and a kid) by meerlicht
What if. Waxer and Boil just stayed on Ryloth, with Numa. What then?Ā
with poise, with grace by andeemae
Stone falls through a hole in a roof and falls in love. Beautiful clone/OC romance and very cute kids, doesnāt shy away from the difficulties of being a clone in love with a civilian.Ā Very much an inspiration for me.
second time around by This_world_of_beautiful_monsters
This is another one I wasnāt sure I wanted to put on here because it deals briefly with rape, but itās such a wonderfully fucked up take on Anakin and Rexās relationship. Or, how Vader views Rex.Ā
The Desert Storm by Blue_Sunshine
If you are looking for an epically long series to get invested in I highly recommend checking this one out. This series and its sister-series are some of the best characterization and worldbuilding for Jedi I have ever had the pleasure of reading and it is a fix-it in all the messy, hard, terrible ways people donāt usually write fix-its.Ā
Shape-Changer by Fialleril
This is a foundational fic for me. Incredible Tatooine worldbuilding. Inspired me to write the way I write.Ā
The Sun Is Bright, The Sun Is Blue by ambiguously
CUT AND SU ORIGIN STORY!!!Ā
most things may never happen: this one will by jaigeye
This is brutal but what if you were a droid and you had to dissect a person.Ā
Bad Deal by FettsOnTop (GTFF)
Boba/Lando my beloved. A brief look into their relationship and into Landoās thoughts leading up to Han and themās arrival.Ā
and the Force is with me by sauntering_down
Rex and Ahsoka and the way the war changed them, and what they can and cannot do in the aftermath.Ā
Twilight on Owl Creek Bridge by yellow_caballero
The Fox fic of all time. What if you were trapped in a time-loop with a ghost from the future but your life is so monotonous and simultaneously bizarre you donāt even notice.Ā
Fishhooks by yellow_caballero
The Boba fic of all time. This author does not write much for SW but every time they do itās iconic. What if you were a teenager running away from home but also a perfect clone of your father created to be him but better but also his because you will never escape his body and his ownership and his love. What then.Ā
Staring into open flame by SLWalker
This is such a beautiful and heartbreaking read, itās basically exploring what would have to happen for Maul and Obi-Wan to have a genuinely healthy and happy relationship post murder and bisection.Ā
Energy Drink Fox by carrinth
The crack comic of all time. What if Fox had space Monster.
lost cause by catboydogma
The foundational Dogma fic. The fic that got me wondering about how clones spend their time on Coruscant.Ā
the married au by dharmaavocado
Clone rebellion my beloved. Basic premise is the clones took over Kamino and then went out into the galaxy as a mercenary army of sorts. Rex and Cody are finding their place in the world, creating business partnerships, falling in love, manipulating public perception of clones. (Background clonecest, not between Rex and Cody.)
#cordelia answers asks#i am so incredibly flattered you enjoyed my fic#hopefully some of these fics give context for why i write what i write and can get you started with new authors#thank you again <3#fic recs#star wars fic

Favorite fics and authors?
Hey Anon!
Thank you for this ask! This is a really hard question as I'm sure I'll be forgetting some but to find all the authors I've read check out @thgfanfictionlibrary and the "Library of Authors" page!
Let's Begin:
@absnow (Abagail_Snow) literally read so many of the published works and ficlets on both AO3 and tumblr. Recently read Flatshare!
@awhiskeyriver (amelia_day) I kid you not, I have read The Bet so many times. Truly makes me wanna shake Katniss in a not nice way. Also !!!BIG BOY PEETA!!!
@muttpeeta (atetheredmind) I think i've almost read all of them with maybe a few missing. If you like the gang all together but for some reason Peeta and Katniss beefing but obvi wanting each other "Cabin Fever" is for you.
c_r_roberts: I mean, come on, more enemies to lovers with "Best Man" and then a getting together modern au with big boy peeta "Have Your Cake and Eat it Too" and countless more
You wanna have the longest most heart wrenching slow burn with so many missed moments and could've been(s)? Try Court81981's "Crash My Party"
@endlessnightlock Can't go wrong with any of them tbh. Re-read "Do You Need a Ride Home?" and "Diner Drabble Series" recently.
Modern au with puns and a sneaky Prim? "Size Matters" by hutchabelle was super cute!
@katnissdoesnotfollowback Literally can't go wrong. Highly recommend "Unmasked" and "Wrapped in Red".
@lemonluvgirl FAKE DATING and amputee!peeta in a modern au?! Sign me up with "The Holiday Stand In"
@mollywog again, reading through the whole library but "Senior Year" is a fav
titania522's Good Again was one of the first fics I read in the fandom
And to finish it off "A Painter, a Baker, and a Boy who Never Took Sugar in his Tea" by katiac. I could not put this down! Loved the look into Peeta's healing journey!
I'm sure I'm forgetting loads of my faves and will remember as soon as I wake up tomorrow but if you want more recs look at @thgfanfictionlibrary where I have begun tackling master-listing all the works I have read and now not read as well!
Thanks for the ask!

Happy September 15th! Which, if you didn't know, is 'leave a comment day.' I could be wrong though, since my source is a poll i took on my other blog - either way, i've come up with a fun idea.
In honour of āleave a comment dayā iāve made a list of all of my favourite fanfics/authors that I can think of atm, and I wanna leave a nice little note about them and their work! This isnāt in any particular order, tbh itās mostly me going through my AO3 bookmarks and re-reading all of my fav fanfic, haha.Ā
I honestly had no idea 'leave a comment dayā was a thing, and if you didnāt either, show your favourite authors that you appreciate them! Anything from a heart emoji, or a key smash, or an insightful/heartfelt comment will do wonders in terms of showing/being appreciated.
A lot of these fics below have influenced me in some way, big or small, into how/what I write today. I guess I wanted to give thanks where I could. (Itās also just really sick to make a doc full of your favourite things,and I highly implore you to do it too, even if you donāt wanna post it. (That's totally fair, no pressure.) I keep going over in my mind what I like about each fic and āoh, this fic is different from that, but itās still fantastic, oh and this fic, too,ā etc. itās such a fun little snowball effect of positivity, i definitely recommend you do this if you have time and need a pick me up, haha.)
Little note, here, If youāve seen that Iāve read your fic, but found youāre not on the list - itās not that I donāt like you/or work! I probably very well did enjoy it! I found as I was making this list it was taking a lot of my free time. (Free time that iād rather like to use writing or reading more, haha.) And, I feel like this list is already so wickedly long ācause I can't shut my mouth to save my life, to add more might be a little bit much to read all in one go. š
So, please donāt be upset if thatās the case! ily *mwah*Ā
Also, thereās a few nsfw fics mention at the end, so if youāre a minor, pls buzz off,Ā that content isnāt for you! I also recommend you check the links on some of these fics. I think Iāve included warnings where I think theyāre due, but you know yourself better than i do. And, who knows, I mightāve accidentally missed a tag or two - So, please take care of yourself out there!Ā
Youāll notice iāve either included a source for either the authors tumbr, or AO3. I originally was going to try and do both, but i lost steam. Each story is linked to their author, on some site, promise.Ā
Last thing, most of these fics are in the undertale fandom, tbh. Itās been my ride or die since highschool, so iāve got a lot of love and things to say. You wonāt find any frans or foncest here, iām a reader insert girlie, simply put, and I don't care much for those tags on the fics i read.Ā
Quick legend here:
Complete = complete work
Ongoing = still updating / i think theyāre still update
Incomplete = either hiatus, or just incomplete
So, without further ado-Ā
Ā Road Side Attraction (Ongoing, teen+ rating) and Dirty Laundry (Complete, teen+ rating)
By Popatochisp Ā (AO3) / popattochisp (Tumbr)
Iām going to be grouping together fics by author. Usually when I find one I really like, i really lurk around their tumblr/AO3 for others, haha.
āAND because I canāt think of one fic without the other. I find myself going back to read them both quite frequently, usually on rotation,Ā theyāre my little bedtime stories i keep on repeat in my mind, lol.Ā
I mean, if youāre in the undertale fandom how can you not know about pop? For me, them (and luluwrites, among a few others i canāt remember rn,) āwere really impactful to me growing up, as I think it was to a lot of people. (Tbh theyāre still impactful, actually. I find myself going back even pretty often to read the same fics I read in high school.) Theyāre like the one piece of media you read in English class in high school that sticks with you throughout your adult life. (Looking at you, monkeyās paw.)
Pop has like 1,000 different auās to choose from, all with fantastic and deep characterizations and lore.( I donāt know how they do it, iām only writing a/b ONE skeleton rn, and i feel like a hamster on a wheel trying to get his characterization right.Ā I couldnāt imagine doing that for every single au they have. God damn.)Ā
I especially love Roadside Attraction, because of how easily i can relate to it? Iām deep in the sticks, a town more populated by livestock and people. When I read this, I can really put myself i MCās shoes - b/c iāve been there! (Hah, maybe not the dating skeletons part, granted, lol.) But itās such a fantastic read, I love any and all media that has a vibe that it could take place in like a Ā rural Montana. (think scenes in Twilight. Tall spruce/pine trees, misty morning, the possibility of seeing bigfoot, that sorta thing.)Ā
And Dirty Laundry? Come on, dude. What a love letter to the swapfell universe, truly. If you haven't read it, you gotta. The world building, and the changing POVās are so damn good, that every chapter feels crisp, and like youāve got a really good inside scoop of each character. You canāt knock the characterization in this one, fellas. All the dynamics are so dead on - how Sans and Papyrus interact, how Sans and Alphys ā dude, even how Sans and Toriel interact read so deeply in character. Everyoneās motives and ideas make sense to each character and the conflict that it Ā brings. Big fan. 10/10, will definitely read again and again. (Thereās also a āMenswear addition, where the reader has he/him pronouns if thatās your cup of tea!)Ā
Bones Picked Clean (Incomplete, teen+ rating) and) ApƩritifs (Ongoing, Mature rating)
By Skelezbian (tumblr) / luluwrites (on AO3)
Woof, where do I start?? I think Bones Picked Clean is another one of the first fics I remember being a really impactful piece of undertale fanwork that stuck with me. I know theyāre not the one who created the whole ālodgeā scenario, (if you know, you know. Thank you @Tyrant_Tortoise, weāll be seeing you next,) but they put a spin on it that is so interesting to see. The problems feel very realistic, like something that can easily happen in a house full of busy bodies with not enough communication. And, ohmygod the MC. My first love, truly. You get to see each set of skeleton brotherās, and watch how MCās befriends them all. Granted, they have a track record of putting themselves in dangerous situations, for reasons revealed in the fic, but theyāve got a heart of gold, and a PHD in being a sweetheart.
The horrortale boys really shine here. I havenāt read much horrortale centric fanfics, but I really like the soft horroraleā spin. The healing after the damage, the sunshine after the storm, watching the fauna overgrow, etc. I love watching characters grow when love is shown, and here, you can really see it here. I love domesticity, and using food as a love languageā which is something this fic has in spades!
(I also love love swapfell characterization in this fic, chapter 13 does a REALLY good job of walking you through the mindspace of sf pap. But in terms of favourties, iād have to say that would be Chapter 18. You get to see sf papās relationship with his brother!Ā You really see/understand their dynamic, and how they really act as brothers behind closed doors. The other reason itās a favourite is the inherit domesticity! Maybe Iām a sucker for the normie, slice of life, but how MC and sans chit chat at the start of the chapter is so cute! )
Warning: mention of past cannibalism, past murder, past abuse? I think thatās it, maybe check the tags to be sure. They sound scary, but I promise itās a very sweet story.Ā
Ohh, ApĆ©ritifs. First of all, what a clever name! Iām a sucker for word play, and this title alone really did it for me, haha. (if you donāt get it, please google ādefine ApĆ©ritifsā, and youāll be just as jazzed as me.)Ā Theyāre three stand alone one-shots featuring aĀ different skeleton each chapter. I will say, I think chapter 3 is my fav. Itās actually heavily inspired me to make one of my one shots - itās that good! I love the world building in it, as well. Really, you canāt go wrong. (Lulu really knows how to nail flirty dialogue, in very funny ways. āāso, you a fan of spare ribs, or just mine?āā (ch. 3 ā ApĆ©ritifs) KILLS ME, oh my god, what a funny flirty little one-liner.Ā
Skeleton Squatters and The LandLady (Incomplete, teen+ rating)
By Tyrant_Tortoise (AO3) tyranttortoise (Tumblr)
Manā SSLL walked so we all could run. The amount of ālodgeā type fanfic dynamic iāve seen, BECAUSE of this fic is wild. I might be wrong in saying this, but I think they were the one who came up with the whole ālodgeā type scenario, like all the reverse harems with all the auās.Ā
I havenāt read anything of theirs in a long time, but I wanna pay my respects where respects are due. Tyrant made one hell of an influential fanfic, enough so, that Iām pretty sure if I had a timeline of fandom evolution on undertale aloneā I think there would be a noticeable difference in the before and after SSLL.Ā Which, is so sick!! To have influenced a whole fandom with a concept that weāre still seeing it years later? (I get that trends sorta tend to last longer in fandoms than they do irl, but isnāt that such a neat thing to think about?)Ā
Iām going to age myself (and maybe you, reading this a bit, butā) the first chapter was posted in 2017. 2017! Isnāt that nuts to think about? I was literally 17 at the time. No WONDER it stuck with me, my teenage brain was looking for all theĀ serotonin it could get from fandoms.Ā (wow. Things haven't changed all that much for me, haha.Ā
Skeleton Ex Machina (Incomplete, teen+ rating)
By Cryptid_jack (AO3)
Ohh, okay, for all the SSLL fans out there, you probably already know who cryptid_jack is. And if not, I'll gladly tell you!
Theyāve made this cool ass AI AU (itās a LOT cooler than it sounds, I promise!) in their words, āa fanfic of a fanficā thatās actually in Skeleton Squatters and The LandLady (see above.) Iād recommend reading SSLL to fully understand this - although, if youāre good at picking up context clues, or maybe donāt mind missing some context, I donāt necessarily think youād have to, since jack does a really good job of showing the reader everything thatās going on. (although, i really Ā recommend you do.)
I think this au is so cool, itās literally tagged as āQuarantine Sansā (which, iāll be the first to say, that maybe that name didnāt hold up too well, with recent 2020 events, anā all that. Pandemic aside, itās a cool name for an AU!)Ā
Itās also really fun to see two friends in the fandom interact with each other's works like this. Even reading the note at the start of the fic, you can just feel the camaraderie and care that went into paying each other's proper respects.Ā
Big big ups, hats off to proper manners and friendship!
Allās Fair In Love and (Prank) War (Incomplete, teen+ rating)
By torrikor (AO3)
Ohh, this is a short and sweet 2 chapter read. I donāt the author is going to circle back to it, but i suggest you read it anyways! the idea is so so good! In essence, MC and sf sans are roommates, and MC starts a prank war. I love love love their dynamic, their bickering is a real treat to read, that, coupled with their size difference? Sign me up!
My Favorite Thing (Complete, teen+ rating) and A Conversation Starter ( Complete, teen+ rating)Ā
By peachwhimzy (AO3) peachwhimzy-things (Tumblr)
Iām a slut for their characterization of sf pap here, oh my god. Both are so so good, and i knowĀ i must sound like a broken record by saying I love how this author interpreted his character - but i canāt help it! So many people have good ideas and ways to showcase a character! Sue me.Ā Ā
A Conversation Starter is another one thatās inspired me to write a little one-shot. Itās so fantastically written, sf Papyrus and MC are at a bus station, both the first human and monster either have met. The world building is subtle, but wonderfully done. MC is so damn cute in this, and so is Papyrus, whoās really just trying to keep the conversation going, lol. Thereās a delightful slice of life aspect to this.Ā
Honestly, a lot of of Peachās work feel very domestic, and sweet, and romantic. Sorta like iām reading a studio Ghibli movie. Do yourself a favour and go check em out!
Late Night Shift Romance (Complete, teen+ rating)
By Inumaru12 (AO3)
The one fic on here thatās not a romance,how about that. (I guess thatās not technically true. There's possibly something budding, if you squint. I always read it as platonic friendship- itās fanfic! Read it with whatever context youād like!)
Burgerpants and MC are at the same convenient store late at night, and thereās a robbery. Friendship ensues. I love seeing the background character of undertale, and honestly, who doesn't relate to Burgerpants? Perpetually working shitty minimum wage jobs, trying to chase his dreams - thatās rough. I appreciate a character who can give a nod to class solidarity.. I think Inmuaru12 did so well writing his character, it feels like he was plucked out of the game himself, haha.Ā
My Dearly Detested Delivery Man, (Complete, teen+ rating) and Black Coffee (Complete, general audiences rating)Ā
By Little_old_lady (AO3)
Lol yet another set of swap fics, haha. (Yet another great example of different interpretations of the swapfell au!)
My Dearly Detested Delivery man is soĀ fun, I love an āenemies to friends to loversā type of fic. I love the dialogue, itās so funny! Like almost sitcom-esk with how good the one liners are. I think my favourite thing about writing fanfic is the dialogue- but reading what other authors have cooked up is such a treat, too. I love seeing authors with a certain brand of wit/cleverness they think the character would have, and seeing their own comedy bleed through, too sometimes. Little_old_lady does a good job showing the reader what you can gleam from the characters with how they talk to each other, in a way that sets the tone for their relationship. (whether itās platonic, romantic, etc.)Ā Thereās so many ways you can show friendship, but I think the āpassionā (lmao I donāt know what else to call it!)Ā thatās at the heart of any argument is what can create the difference between friends arguing, vs two people who could be more. (Better put, I think what I like about two characters arguing is the sorta obvious chemistry it can create.)Ā
Black Coffee does a good job about that too! Iāll be the first and last to say that I love any characters whose love language is āargueā (lol even though irl I wouldnāt last long in any relationship like that, haha. ) I can be hit or miss with a soulmate au, but thereās another layer that I think undertale adds another level to in a soulmate au-since the game established that monsters and magic are realā that it almost feels a little more plausible of an au, than say, a soulmate AU of parks and rec? (no hate on the au or parks and rec, haha. I guess it just feels more ārealisticā being that undertale is already a world made of magic, that magical soulmates, is one more step into weird that also makes sense?) I also love the bro-ship mc has with pap, in this one. Coming from someone whoās constantly worked retail/with customers one-on-one, somedays you want to go ape shit, so itās nice to see an MC who can.
Half Your Age Plus Seven (Complete, teen+ rating)Ā
By KassyKins
Ohhh, what a little treat this was to read. Tragedy! Romance! Love-rivalry! (NOT a love triangle!) People just Trying to do their best, theyāve got it all! This is another MC iām in love with. They know what they love, and what theyāre passionate about, but when push comes to shove, theyāll choose their family over themselves every single time. I think itās a very admirable trait to have, integrity, and the ability to self-sacrifice.Ā I think those two tropes/characteristics can really lead a story in so many interesting directions - weather it be an MC whoās too self-sacrificing, giving parts of themselves to everyone, leaving nothing for themselves, or an MC whoās pushing themselves through the ringer trying to do what they think is right according to their integrity, burning them up in the process.Ā In this particular case, itās maybe a little bit of both, coupled with (sad) a slice of life meet cute, with a healthy dose of growing pains.Ā
Thereās something about it that always hits extra hard to me, the āthrust into the lime light, or power, or a position they have no business being in. But, theyāve got people on the line, their people to take care of, so by god theyāll try.ā Thereās something so tragic and poetic about it ā but who knows, maybe I'm waxing poetic about the eldest daughter trope.Ā
This fic really nicely written, and thereās so many fun hijinks and shenanigans in there to make you chuckle. Featuring another MC whoās able to shout at their boss and get away with it- big ups from me, lets goooooo working class!
Fair warning, this is a notable age gap from MC and swapfell gold sans. It is talked about in the story as well. I personally donāt mind it too much, but if thatās a no-go from you, youāve been warned. (Maybe just check the tags on this one, (spoilers!) I know someone gets pregnant later. But, I know that can freak some folks out, so, heads up.)Ā
Thereās some smut mentioned, but it doesnāt go into detail about it, so iāll leave it above the NSFW section. Just fair warning! (Maybe not a story for minors? I donāt know, read at your own discretion if you are?)Ā
For the smut mention, be warned that I couldnāt find any age in their bio, do with that what you will.Ā
And Now Itās Crystal Clear(Complete, teen+ rating)
By nighttimelights (AO3)
Oh, man. What another banger read.Ā
Fun fact- i read this in . . . highschool? But i forgot the name of the fic,and it took me FOREVER, im talking YEARS before I found it again. I actually gave up the hunt, and just found it again one dayā what an utter joy that was for me to rediscover it. I felt like I ran into my highschool sweetheart at the grocery store after not thinking about them in years.Ā
Itās really cool concept on the whole āmachine gasterā situation. I respect someone so damn much who incorporates a bit of sci-sfi in their fics, I have no idea how to write it, but I love to read it/see it in media. So to see it, and understand it, and how itās relevant to the plot is a real treat!
I also love the ending.Ā :)
Wish Bone (Ongoing, Explicit rating)
By timeofjuly
I could not, in good conscience make this list without including my bestie, the OG and probably the reason why I'm actually posting what I'm writing today. I really canāt sing their praises high enough ā but for the sake of comment day, I sure can try, haha.
July really does a good job of creating a wicked atmosphere in her works. The stark difference between Wish Bone (a political romance drama) and Resisting the Currents (reverse harem, but the gf likes you too. It's linked in the nsfw section, please check it out if you can.) is so incredible ā theyāre really an author that can do both, haha. Even though both fics are so different, what they have in common is their ability to get you right in your feelings, in whichever way the story calls for.Ā
In WishboneĀ ā Flint (the MC) has a bad case of being a massive asshole, thatās verging on becoming chronic. Their paranoia has caused their head to permanently be a swivel, and theyāve developed a taste for their own brand of Justice (however malicious as it is.)Ā That sounds like the start of a vigilante story, but in all truth, Flint is a dick. Which, is another thing July is great at! Writing MCās who are assholes! You love to hate them, you hate that you love them!Ā
This is a MC x sf Pap, and later X sf Sans as well, If youāre hoping for a sappy romance, youāve come to the wrong place. This is a reluctant soulmate AU fic, a fantastic spin on the traditionally very romantic au, a meet ugly, sort of vibe. If you love arguing, political drama, fantastic world building, and a very, sad, broken MC ā youāre going to love this. Hell, even if how I described it doesnāt sound appealing to you ā I implore you to check it out anyways. July will absolutely knock you on your ass with her writing. By god, thereās themes, motifs and symbolism that I'm not smart enough to analyse, let alone talk about. Whether July intentionally put them there or not, I have no idea, but theyāre there and it adds another layer of depth in a delightfully, painful soul crushing way.Ā
Go, see what I mean for yourself!Ā
Tbh, i feel like I could go on forever about what I love about their fics, and my little personal theories on them ā but I feel like I already look pretty unhinged. For the sake of my ego, iāve gotta move on.Ā
In terms of warnings, I think I sorta covered them? There's Plenty of anger, and hatred, ummm monster phobia? There might be some sorta nsfw stuff down the line, thus the rating, but as it stands now itās smut free! Just a heads up, I suppose.Ā
ļæ½ļæ½In Two weeks time and Red is my favorite color
By who_wants_a_muffin (AO3)Ā
My other current ongoing fav, in two weeks time! Another swapfell sans one, to the surprise of absolute of no one, haha.Ā
This MC is a dude! A man! Which is a refreshing change up, I donāt think thereās many many fics out there with a male leaning/male dominant MCās. The characterization of MC is very good,Ā
is so so good, itās and X sf sans, and heās got the exact right amount of snark and sass to keep you coming back, haha. (Or, I guess in this case, he keeps coming back. MC works at the pool he frequents.) Their banter is really fun to read, bordering on bickering, really. Theyāre almost like a little old married couple, haha. Which is to say, you can really feel the chemistry they have even though theyāre basically strangers.Ā
sf Papyrus is such a little shit in this one, i love it. Heās perpetually the youngest brother, and how Muffin writes him is so snarky and funny, and very endearing.Ā
The chapters are short and sweet, enough so that you can read it a few times in the same day and still enjoy it, even though his updating schedule is crazy fast! I donāt know how he does it, but theyāre just motoring along, haha. I get excited whenever I get an email saying Muffin updated. Itās like a little treat to brighten your week.
Iāve been reading a bit of his other stuff, and he just gets it! Like the dynamic between MC and fell sans in Red in my favorite color, is just perfect. I love the soft!underfell au, and he does a really good job of capturing how underfell sans straddles the line between being a bad boy, and a boy that's not all that bad.
I also love the notes he writes, āHello gays and other assorted sillies!ā (from Chapter 2 in Red in my favorite color,) Like COME ON, thatās so funny!Ā

Bonley Hearts Club (Demo available, Ongoing, teen+ rating)Ā
Bonely Hearts Club (tumblr)Ā
owl-bones (tumblr) is the Developer and Director and (self proclaimed! Iām not being mean!) Lead Nerd.Ā Here is a link to their cast, although it might not be fully updated. (ItāsĀ \a big one, so I'm going to leave it as a link.)Ā
I donāt even know how to begin to explain my love for Bonely Hearts Club. Itās a fanmade game, made entirely of love, which you can tell, even before you play it. The sprites are so cute, and fantastic, and the writing is so in character and on point, do not get me started on the voice acting - which is also incredible. Iām not kidding, when I first played the demo, I immediately followed the voice actors on tumblr after, haha.Ā
This is the kinda piece of art that you just stand back and look at it, and just go āwowā. Itās such a big undertaking! I know very little about game development, but from what i vault remember from my comp sci class - is that isās hard. Mad respect from me to Owl, and everyone a part of the team/process.Ā
This is off topic, but I wonder if Toby Fox has read any of these fics, or played the demo of this dating sim, like in the same way Alex Hursh has played a bit of Swooning Over Stans: A Grunkle Dating Sim. Iād pay serious money to have Toby play the dating sim demo. God, could you imagine the energy in that livestream? It would be goddamn electric.
[ Soul Redacted ] (Completed, teen rating) and The Great Noodle Jape (Completed, teen rating)Ā
By nighttimepixels (game jolt) nighttimepixels (tumblr)Ā
// active twitter lethalhooplaĀ Ā
//active tumblr lethalhoopla
Good god, talk about a . . .what, triple, quadruple threat? Thereās nothing nighttimepixels canāt do. They write, they make art, theyāve made two complete games, (and the beginning of another,) and they animate!! Like oh my god! Another love letter to the fandom, everything they do is so so good.Ā
[Soul Redacted] is a very cool rpg sidescroller explorer/mystery, and iād say a touche of sci-fi in there, too. It has fantastic writing, and features Q! (from Cryptid_jack au, in Skeleton Squatters and The LandLady fromTyrant_TortoiseĀ fic! see above for all!) Truth be told, I got a little scared playing this. Granted, I played it at like 2 am in the dark - and I am a coward lol. I donāt think the average person will get scared, but fair warning anyways, haha.Ā
Theyāre not into the undertale fandom anymore, I don't think. Which is sad to hear, but also understandable. Itās not fun making art and other creations if youāve lost that spark there. However, if youāre a mass effect fan, theyāre making a bunch of art on their other bog. I personally really love their art style, so iāll gladly keep checking back. Also, thereās so much undertale content on their blog that youāll be good for a long while. And if not, you can always go back and look again! If you canāt experience it for the first time, the next best thing is to experience it again.Ā
Warning: I think thereās some flashing lights at some point? Maybe double check the tags on that one if thatās a concern for you.Ā
The Great Noodle Jape is so damn cute. As night put it, āa visnov style silly whodunitā, which I think it captures it perfectly. The writing is so fun, all the characters feel very well written/in character, and i love how they all interact with each other. As well, the sprites are so fantastic! Night has that kind of art style where you just know it's theirs without needing to confirm.Ā
No warnings that I could think of, other than youāll be wishing for the experience of playing it for the first time once youāre done.
ā non-Undertale related fics -Ā
Cult of the Lambā
The Rehabilitation of DeathĀ
By bamsara (AO3) / bamsara (Tumblr)
WOOF. I am an āhappy ending angstā lover, and a āenergies to lovers slow burn,ā and this fic takes the cake on both regards. Truly, who could pine better than a god, whoās named literally āThe One Who Waitsā? What an aptly named character for one of the major troupes in the fic, haha.
But for all you freaks out there (lol me) who donāt mind horror some of the time, I recommend reading it! Even if youāre not into CoTL, the pining is so goddamn good! (Considering itās about gods, theyāve been pining for hundreds of years without even knowing itāĀ the slowest of burns, like oh my GOD.) Bam also is known to post longer chapters- so if you like a read that lasts a couple days, PLEASE do yourself a favour and check it out. I donāt wanna spoil anything, but theyāre getting to the part where the main couple is starting to be nice to each other, plus, the subplot B couple is starting to sorta shack up too. There are so many good, funny dynamics that are in this fic, that I donāt have enough words to properly explain them.Ā
They also make fantastic artwork and sketches for just about each scene in their fics - which for all you visual girlies out there (myself, haha.) I think youād appreciate it! I wish I was that type of triple threat, but I think iād burn out too quickly if I was also drawing scenes of my fics ā which is why I think itās so impressive when other authors/artists do it!Ā
Ā They do art streams pretty frequently, too, and they make stickers too! A true triple threat,Ā
Just, fair warning-Ā like Cult of the Lamb (the game the fic is based off,)Ā this fic mentions a lot about gore, and death, and mention of cults and religion. So if any of that is a turn off, or something you donāt like to read about, this might not be your cup of tea.Ā
Non-fanfic Undertale fandom related materialāĀ
FNAFā
Solar Lunacy (Incomplete, Mature)
By BamSara
(I kept these two separate on the account theyāre different fandoms, lol)Ā
I was very briefly into the FNAF fandom, I only read a handful of ficsā but Solar Lunacy really stuck with me!
Robots with trauma! An overly curious MC! I think what I like most about this, is how driven mc is? Usually it gets them into trouble, haha, but I love that troupe where the MC really puts themselves through the wringer looking for answers. (I.e like ford and bill from gravity falls.)Ā Ā
Whatās not to love? For all you robot fans out there, itās pretty sick! Iām sure if you dig deep enough on Bamās tumblr youāll find all their old DCA fanart, and draw parts from this fic.Ā
Fair warning! Scary robots, the regular tags of the fnaf fandom (past child abuse/past child murder), robots donāt understand boundaries, maybe check the tags on this one, just in case.Ā
Sleuth Jesters (Series!) (Complete, teen+ and mature ratings, depending on which fic in the series youāre reading.)
By naffeclipse (AO3)
This was the other FNAF fanfic that really stuck with me when I had the robot bug. (lol)Ā Iāll be the first one to admit that Iām not overly into the whole āmafia bossā side of self-ships, but if I had to choose one to read for the rest of time āĀ it would definitely be this one. Itās like a detective noir, where mc is the vigilante whoās only law they follow is their grey moral code - but usually itās for the good! So you canāt really feel to bad about that, haha.Ā
Tbh itās almost hard to verbalise what I like about it, itās one of those fics that give you a feeling you canāt name, and itās so frustrating to have this unnamed feeling you canāt quite pinpoint! (PLEASE tell me some of yaāll know what iām talking about!)
I feel so tragically for the MC, if that makes sense? Theyāre constantly putting themselves in harm's way for answers, and for others.Ā Theyāre selfless, yet selfish, and they never let anyone too close, except for when they do. Thereās some heavy themes and very toxic relationships, but thereās a happy ending!Ā
Ahh warning for a very possessive, toxic robot, and kidnapping in later fics - i suggest you read the tags just in case! Bam is really good at tagging triggers accordingly,Ā
Fair warning: blood and injury, very possessive character, toxic relationships (one sided), mention of injury, violence, kidnapping, guns, gunshotĀ wounds, shootouts, broken bone- probably some more. I recommend checking the tags on this one as well, just to be on the safe side.Ā
NSFW Below ā Minors get out of here pls!
A quick mention, before I get into thisā
I tried to check and make sure all the authors below are all well over 18, iāve indicated which link has their age posted in their bioās if youād like to check for yourself. If I couldnāt find it, I made sure to be clear that I don't know.Ā
Just doing some light housekeeping, here. You should also check the tags on each fic for what kinda . . . stuff it has, lol.Ā
Play With Me (Incomplete, explicit rating)Ā
By grimrester (AO3) / grimrester Ā (tumblr/ age in bio here.)Ā
Oh my god. Oh my god! For all you queers on the ace/aromatic spectrum just like me, this is the fic for you!
I could easily go back and read this again and again - tbh I already do. Itās plot with porn, and then it turns into porn with plot, but emotional!Ā love the relationship between MC and Sans. There's something about their intimacy thatās so casual (maybe not the right word for what I mean,) but vulnerable, and realistic, but very enthusiastic and personal? I donāt think I even have the right words to properly and fully describe what all I like about this fic, but what I do know is that I like it a lot, haha.Ā
I like that it shows sex and intimacy in a different way. I know itās pretty common for undertale smut to have some kind of ecto junk involved - this one doesnāt. I personally, like the creativity involved in thinking different ways a person can get off that isnāt just penetration. (Donāt get me wrong, thatās in here too, but that comes a little bit later.)Ā
Iām also s Big Fan of the sf sans interpretation here. Itās like a soft swapfell, one of my favourite version of him. I said it already, but thereās so many ways a person can go with his character, and I really really like the worldbuilding. Itās a nice subtle nod told through the characters. I love his relationship he has with Alphys, it all feels so incredibly in line with the character, even though heās a swapfell version, he still does have some sort of friendship with her ā even if to him itās under a guise. To me, itās one of those things that you can see the core traits that make him a sans, and thatās a hard needle to thread! Just an all around great character study.Ā
ALSO, I think I have a particular penchant for MCās with oddly specific niche jobs?? In my heart of hearts, Pixyās (the name of the arcade MC owns in Play with Me) is like right next door to Faunas (the name of the pot store my MC owns in Into The Weeds.)Ā
Warnings: iām pretty sure this one is tagged accordingly on AO3, so iām not going to tag it all here, just know thereās smut.Ā
Something Good (Ongoing, Mature)Ā
By skeletonlvr22 (AO3)
WARNING: No age in bio that I could find. This fic isnāt at the smut yet - but becuase of the 'eventual smut' tag, and for the sake of transparency, iām letting you know. (Iām like 90% sure this person is an adult though, since thereās a tag thanking their husband for their help.) Do what you will with this info, youāve been warned.Ā
This is another one of my current reading obsessions lately!Ā
I think iām realizing I have a particular penchant for some of the lesser known auās? (niche, I suppose?) Fellswap Gold Pap sets out on his own in only his trusty bus, to explore the surface above, away from the (over-) protective eyes of his brother.Ā
This is the escape fantasy of my dreams. A stray skeleton on the adventure of his lifetime, seeing the sights and the city lights. The romance portion in the later chapters is so damn cute too, itās very much the āfirst loveā, type of romance thatās very sweet and charming. (also, cāmon, who doesn't love a coming of age story?) Love love seeing a Fellswap Gold fic, and a Papyrus based one, too! People are so damn creative, I never would've ever thought of this plot for a fic, but now that I know itās real, I love it!I Iām really not kidding when I say itās prime escape fantasy material -Ā I think it would be the cats ass to have a van and travel across north america, thanks skeletonlv22 for letting me vicariously live through Pap in your fic. :)Ā
Warning: Only the ones iāve given at the top! Itās a very cute story. I put it in the NSFW section b/c of the eventual smut, thereās none in it now ā although, they certainly are starting to get flirty.Ā
Resisting the Currents (Ongoing, Explicit)Ā
By timeofjuly (AO3) timeofjuly (Tumblr)Ā
WARNING: No age in bio that I could find, but Iāve been chit-chatting with July for months now and iām 99.99% sure theyāre well above 18. Itās not my info to give out, and iām trying to be transparent on my end, do with this info what you will!Ā
Edit: age confirmed in the tags!
This is easily another fav of mine for sure.Ā
Resisting the Currents is a reverse harem fic (with all the auās!) but with a twist - the gf likes you too! Itās a refreshing take on the āreverse haremā tag you see often in the undertale fandom - and holy shit, truly āonly love can hurt like this.ā The relationship they have with the MC is so painful, verging on devastating. Thereās love there! There is! But thereās also hurt, and a lot of it, the kind that doesnāt just go away, not on its own, anyway. Iām trying not to spoil too much, because I truly think you should read it for yourself.Ā
But, Oh My God, their MC? Holyshit- I have a(n aforementioned) weakness for impressionable MCās, oftentimes, I end up loving them more than the love interest in the fics.Ā I canāt help it! The electrician is personable, relatable, and funny! Theyāre a lovable goofball with a rough past, with a history of doing the wrong things.They're recovering/recovered? (Iām not too sure which is the correct term, here,) drug addict, and theyāve come a long way! Theyāve changed a lot, and I love love love to see that kind of realism in an MC.Ā
If youāre reading RtC (which you should be,) you can 100% see me going apeshit in the comments trying to figure out what the elections and Quinnās deal is. (ESPECIALLY chapter 11!
(Sorry if theyāre not coherent, at one point, those theories made sense in my head, but looking back on them, I think theyāre more so like the crazed ramblings of a conspiracy theorist, haha.)Ā
This fic is in the NSFW section b/c it does have a chapter where two characters get it on, but i canāt say thatās what the whole story is about. I put it down here to be safe rather than sorry, haha.Ā
Ahh, fair warning, there is past drug mention, and past abuse child abuse I think? Plus, a bit of mention of religion and the negative effects that can have on a person. Read the tags just to be safe!
Shark Teeth (Complete, Mature rating)
By luluwrites (AO3) skelezbian (Tumblr)
Warning: No age in bio that I could find. If it makes you feel any better, they joined AO3 in 2012, while I joined in 2016 and iām 24 currently. Iām not good at math, but I think weāre all in the clear here. But like always, do with this info what you will!Ā
I will say, this isnāt full on smut - itās saucy, but Iām trying to keep anything suggestive, kinda together?Ā
Not to divulge myself too furiously here, but uhāThereās not a day that goes by where I donāt think about Shark teeth. Cāmon. Y'all get it, right? Itās just a funny, saucy little number! A funny moment that happens between couples that we get to see. Thereās so many different interpretations on the fellswaps, (I know iāve said it a lot,) but Luluās just happens to be one of my favourites interpretations!! Sf Sans is a very precarious character, and I think Lulu does a good job showing that the swaps can be written in a multitude of ways, he doesnāt just have to be the dickhead all the time, lmao. They really do a good job showing how he shines, yāknow?
Warning: teeth and/or biting? Not full on smut, or anything, but it is saucy. So, take that into consideration.Ā

Just some great lady-lovinā smut! Size difference! If you love the pillow princess treatment, this is the fic for you.
Warnings: (Lesbians? Queers?) really going to town on each other, def NSFW. Check the tags before reading, itās nothing Dead Dove, or anything - just want you to be aware.Ā

mothiepixie (twitter, age in bio here too)Ā
No fic to tag, but their art? AHHHHH. Theyāre more active on twitter than tumblr since The Ban, but ohhh their art is very, very good. Very great if you like fictional hunky men, and beautiful shapely ladies.Ā

Book recs: Space!! part 1
We all love space, right? I certainly love space, and I'm always on the hunt for a good space book. What you've got here is a pretty wild mix of everything from fun and adventurous space opera to horrific and brutal space horror - hopefully all the space fans can find something to enjoy!
For more details on the books, continue under the readmore. Titles marked with * are my personal favorites. And as always, feel free to share your own recs in the notes!

The Long Way To a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarers series) by Becky Chambers
Rosemary Harper just got a job on the motley crew of the Wayfarer, a spaceship that works with tunneling new wormholes through space. With a past she wants to leave behind, Rosemary is happy to travel the far reaches of the universe with the chaotic crew, but when they land the job of a life time, things suddenly get a lot more dangerous. A bit of a tumblr classic in its day, this is a cozy space opera with an episodic feel and vividly realized characters and cultures. While pretty light on romance and focusing found family, there is a main f/f relationship.
Ascension by Jacqueline Koyanagi
Ascension follows Alana Quick, an expert Sky Surgeon who stows away on a spaceship in hopes of landing herself a job. But the ship and its crew are in deeper waters than she expected, facing threats emerging from a whole other universe, all of them searching for the same person: Alanaās spiritually enlightened sister. Undeniably a bit of an odd read, Ascension is also very creative and features polyamorous lesbian relationship.
Illuminae (The Illulminae Files) by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff*
Young adult told through the medium of transcripts, text messages and the like (this is one of few books where I highly recommend reading a physical copy over a digital or audio copy as the visual aspect is much more enjoyable like that). After their colony is attacked, the surviving inhabitants flee on spaceships, attempting to avoid the pursuing killers while also dealing with a deadly maddening plague on board and a ruthless ship AI seemingly losing its mind.
Kea's Flight by Erika Hammerschmidt & John C. Ricker
Young adult. Kea has been in exile since before she was born. In a future where abortion has been forbidden, Earth has found a new way of handling unwanted children: send them off to space to colonize new planets. Kea has lived her entire life on a spaceship, surrounded by other kids rejected for 'flaws' in their genetic makeup, Kea herself being on the autism spectrum. The ship follows a strict authority, but when a new threat appears, Kea and her friends must rise up to ensure they make it to their new home.
The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James*
Young adult. Romy is the only survivor on a spaceship headed toward a new planet, her only contact with other people being messages sent to and from Earth which take months to arrive. Then she receives news: another ship has been sent, one which is more advanced than hers and will eventually catch up. Ecstatic about the prospect of meeting other people, Romy begins communicating with J, the sole passenger of the other ship, and finds herself developing feelings for him. But Romy knows nothing about J, and have begun receiving worrisome messages from Earth...
Ancillary Justice (Imperial Radch universe) by Ann Leckie*
A space opera in which sentient spaceships can walk the ground in stolen human bodies, so called ancillaries. One of these ancillaries, the sole survivor after the complete destruction of her ship and crew, is on the hunt for revenge against the leader of the Empire for her crimes. This series does very cool things with gender and culture!
The Stars are Legion by Kameron Hurley
Zan wakes without memory, a passenger aboard one of the living world-ships of Legion, a fleet of decaying generations ships. Told she's the salvation meant to free them from the fleet, Zan is flung head first into a brutal and bloody conflict. This book fucked me up when I read it. Itās weird, itās gross, thereās So Much Viscera, there are literally no men, it has living spaceships and biotech but in the most horrific way imaginable. Had I to categorize it I would call it grimdark military sf. Itās an experience but not necessarily a pleasant one.
Ninefox Gambit (The Machineries of Empire) by Yoon Ha Lee*
Disgraced Captain Kel Cheris is given a second chance by allying with and becoming the host for undead Commander Shous Jedao, who in life never lost a battle, but also went mad and massacred his own army. Now, Cheris must decide just how far she can trust him, with her forces as well as with her sense of self. Military space opera where belief and culture shape the laws of reality, causing all kinds of atrocities as empires do everything in their power to force as many people as possible to conform to their way of life to strengthen their technology and weapons. Itās also very queer, with major gay, lesbian and trans characters, albeit little to no romance.
An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon
Life on the lower decks of the generation ship HSS Matilda is hard for Aster, an outcast even among outcasts, trying to survive in a system not dissimilar to the old antebellum South. The shipās leaders have imposed harsh restrictions on their darker skinned people, using them as an oppressed workforce as they travel through space toward their supposed Promised Land. But as Aster finds a link between the death of the shipās sovereign and the suicide of her own mother, she realizes there may be a way off the ship.
172 Hours on the Moon by Johan Harstad*
Young adult horror. NASA is finally returning to the moon, and to gain the needed funding and attention they hold a world-wide lottery: three teenagers will get to travel to a recently revealed moon base alongside the trained astronauts. For Antoine, Midori, and Mia, this is the chance of a lifetime. But there's a reason NASA stayed away from the moon for so long, and while three teens may be going there, only one will return... This book scared the shit out of me as a teen, recommended for slowburn mix of supernatural and sci-fi horror.
Children of Time (Children of Time series) by Adrian Tchaikovsky*
Millennia and generation spanning sci-fi. After the collapse of the earthen empire, a planet once part of a project to uplift other species to sentience is left to develop on its own, resulting not in the intelligent monkeys once intended but in sentient giant spiders. Millennia later, what remains of humanity arrives looking for a new home, only to be met by the ancient, artificial remains of the woman who once led the uplift project - and she is not willing to let them disturb her spiders, or her planet, no matter how desperate they are.
All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries) by Martha Wells*
After having hacked its own governor module, SecUnit uses its small amount of new freedom to secretly download and watch as much media as it can between doing its job guarding humans. But when the scientists itās been charged with keeping safe come under attack, it must make a choice about whether to continue keeping its freedom secret or risk it all to save them. The series features both novellas and full length novels, and balances humor with scathing critique of capitalism.
Dust (Jacob's Ladder series) by Elizabeth Bear
In a dying spaceship, orbiting an equally dying sun, noblewoman Perceval waits for her own gruesome death. Having been captured by an opposing house, her wings severed and life forfeit, Perceval's execution is imminent - until a young servant charged with her care proves to be Perceval's long lost sister. To stop a war between houses likely to doom them all, the two flee together across a crumbling, dangerous spaceship. And at its core waits Jacob Dust, god and angel, all that remains of what the ship once was. And he wants Perceval.
Binti (Binti trilogy) by Nnedi Okorafor
Young adult novella. Binti is the first of the Himba people to be accepted into the prestigious Oomza University, the finest place of higher learning in all the galaxy. But as she embarks on her interstellar journey, the unthinkable happens: her ship is attacked by the terrifying Meduse, an alien race at war with Oomza University.
A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe (The Salvagers) by Alex White
In a universe where science and magic work hand in hand, Boots Elsworth makes a living selling fake treasure maps and Nilah Brio is a racer. When one of Boots' maps turns out to be more real than expected and Nilah has to go on the run after having been framed for a murder, the two find themselves on the same spaceship, working with Boots' old captain to find the rumored treasure and reveal the conspiracy it's hiding before the people hunting them catch up. Features a main f/f relationship.
The Vanished Birds by Simon Jimenez
A strange child lands on an isolated planet, scaring its inahbitants into handing him over into the hands of Nia Amani. As captain of a transport ship, Nia is not only the planet's only contact with the outside world, she is also a woman outside of time, years compressing into months as she travels through space at high speed. Now responsible for a child who doesn't speak and in a galaxy that wishes them ill, she must rethink exactly what she wants to do with her life, and what she's prepared to give up. Features multiple major queer characters.
Eacaping Exodus (Escaping Exodus duology) by Nicky Drayden
Seske is the heir to the leader of a clan living inside a gigantic, spacefaring beast, of which they frequently need to catch a new one to reside in as their presence slowly kills the beast from the inside. While I found the ending rushed with regards to plot and character, the worldbuilding is very fresh and the overall plot of survival and class struggle an interesting one. Itās also sapphic!
Dead Silence Here by S.A. Barnes
Horror. As her current mission as team leader for a small repair crew in distant space nears its end, Claire grows desperate to find a way to not have to return to a life on Earth. When the crew picks up a distress signal from Aurora, a luxury cruise ship thought lost decades ago, she sees a chance to make enough money on salvage to buy her own ship. But Aurora is housing horrifying secrets beyond its cold hull, and Claire's own past is coming back to literally haunt her. If she wants to survive, dangerous truths must be revealed.
Activation Degradation by Marina J. Lostetter
Unit Four comes to life in the middle of a war. The mine it was created to care for is under attack, and as Unit Four is activated with the memories of its predecessors, it is thrown into the task of protecting it at any cost. When the battle leads to its capture, it is prepared to do anything to stop its captors, even as their very presence causes it to question all that it knows. Includes multiple major intersex characters.
This Alien Shore by C.S. Friedman
Space opera in which humanity found a way to faster than light travel and began establishing colonies all over the galaxy, only to belatedly realize the method of FTL caused irreversible mutations and disabilities and leaving their nascent colonies to die. Much later, many of the colonies have survived and thrived, and one has found a new method of FTL travel, allowing an interconnected space society to grow. However, Earth is on the hunt for their method and is prepared to do anything to steal it. Trapped in the middle of all this and forced on the run is young Jamisia, who is little by little coming to realize that not only might she be the very solution Earth is after, sheās also not alone in her own mind and body.
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir*
Ryland Grace just woke up from a coma, unable to remember anything. He finds himself alone on a spaceship, the rest of the crew dead, and as his memories slowly trickle back, he realizes heās been sent on a mission: to find a solution to the impending doom of the earth. Still struggling with holes in his memories, Ryland tries to fulfill his mission, but as he gets closer to his goal, he discovers someone else got there first. And they arenāt anything close to human. Funny, heartfelt, and heavy on the science.
House of Suns by Alastair Reynolds
Six million years in the future, humanity has spread across the entire Milky Way galaxy. Purslane and Campion are both clones of the same woman, sent into the galaxy millions of years ago to explore along with almost a thousand clones like them. Every 200 000 years they all meet to compare memories and experiences. But this time Purslane and Campion arrive late - and discover that a secret millions of years in the making has led to an extinction level attack against their kind. Now they must find out the truth before their line is completely wiped out. Absolutely wild world-building, featuring various kinds of posthumans (among which the clones are, shockingly, the most similar to people of our time).
Empress of Forever by Max Gladstone
Vivian Liao is a highly successful innovator, but she may have bitten off more than she can chew and fears the government is coming for her. As she goes into hiding, she attempts to pull off one last stunt that could fix everything - but something goes wrong, and suddenly Vivian finds herself waking up in the far future, under attack by an army of robots in space. Hoping to find her way back home, Vivian must assemble a crew of dangerous outlaws and outcasts to help her hunt down the Empress of Forever, the all-powerful entity who pulled her into the future. Lesbian main character.
Finder (Finder Chronicles) by Suzanne Palmer
Fergus Ferguson is a finder, and his latest job has just taken him to a small colony in the farthest corner of inhabited space. There he's searching for a stolen spaceship, what he thinks will be an easy job. But things become complicated as Fergus' arrival inadvertently sets off a civil war, forcing him to ally with the thief's enemies to get out alive with his prize. And beyond it all, the ships of a dangerous and mysterious alien species watches over it all, picking people off when least expected.
Space Opera (Space Opera duology) by Catherynne M. Valente
Eurovision in space! If you lose, humanity is doomed! Good luck! The sentient species of the galaxy have chosen to face each other not in war but in a musical contest, and now humanity is invited to partake. The problem? If we lose, our species as a whole will be exterminated. While I found this book as a whole slightly gimmicky, itās a fun and flashy experience with some wild and creative alien species.
Blindsight (Firefall duology) by Peter Watts*
Vampires and aliens and questions of the nature of consciousnesses, oh my! A ship is sent to investigate the sudden appearance of an alien vessel at the edge of the solar system, but the crew isnāt prepared for the horrors awaiting them. No, seriously, this book will fuck you up, highly recommend if youāre okay with a lot of techno babble and existential horror.
The Outside (The Outside trilogy) by Ada Hoffman*
AKA the book the put me in an existential crisis. Souls are real, and they are used to feed AI gods in this lovecraftian inspired sci-fi where reality is warped and artificial gods stand against real, unfathomable ones. Autistic scientist Yasira is accused of heresy and, to save her eternal soul, is recruited by cybernetic āangelsā to help hunt down her own former mentor, who is threatening to tear reality itself apart. Sapphic main character.
Honorary mentions AKA these didn't really work for me but maybe you guys will like them: Dare Mighty Things by Heather Kaczynski, Chilling Effect by Valerie Valdes, Medusa Uploaded by Emily Devenport, We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor, The Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang
#nella talks books#book recs#space#space books my absolute beloved#next list will probably be queer horror books so look forward to that!

Hello, do you know if there is any tips on finding Jily fics on A03, without being lead into a trap by the fake tags? I opened one Jily fic but I had to closer the browser because it wasnāt Jily it was of James and Hermione š¤¢ š¤¢literally the line was like āI love you, Hermes. Lily only cares about Harry she doesnāt think of me, your the one I loveā. So I just couldnāt, do you have any recommendations on Jily fic authors that actually show James and Lily?
šµāš« Oh yeah that's....a bait and switch for sure!
Hi there! I will be totally honest, I get most of my fic recs on Tumblr for exactly the reason you've stated above...every now and then I'll find a good one through ao3 tags but often it's a total shot in the dark!
BUT recs? I can do recs! For starters, here's a roundup of some of my favorite fics I read last year! And I would highly recommend checking out the other works of any authors on that list. In addition to folks there, here are some other great accounts to follow: @jilymicrofics, @jilymicro-oops, @thegobletofweasleys, @athenasparrow, @charmsandtealeaves, @nodirectionhome-ao3, @mppmaraudergirl, @uncertainwallflower, @jamesunderwater, @abihastastybeans, @startanewdream, and @suzyq31 (who's just starting to write Jily, and we're very excited!).
And I know I'm missed some people but checking out these folks and the ones from my 2022 fic rec lists will definitely get you in the orbit of what you want! And a special plug for @jilytoberfest, which starts in a week and will have lots of Jily content!
Hope this was helpful, Anon!
Oops! Editing to add the links to the Jilymicrofics, Jilytober, and Jilyweek AO3 collections in case you don't have a Tumblr to follow these accounts!

do you have any more reccomendations? of any kind of fics?
If you're looking for anything to read, could you do me a favor and check out these authors? Some of them have written massive epics, while some wrote short ficlet snacks. Obviously check the tags, and I really hope you find what you're looking for.
@unusualjuggernaut - StarscreamxOC - mentioned them before and worth mentioning again. @moodymisty @murder-at-the-bingo-hall @montyuh - big collection on tumblr and AO3. @defaulttwig @afssh @rampantresistor @ironwolf-gone @tarot-readingz @coffeeborneaddict @allswellinthiswell - Good chunk of reader One Piece fics, but wrote other fandoms. Some of their work is on my read list. @maplesyruplover - Love their OC, CrashCart. @circuitsrewired @energonbunny @thegoldenshi-shi - They make comics on webtoonz - check it out. @vaultofqueenorion @unstabledodo @snurtsnurt @techtainia-makes-things @limited-practice - 18+ dark tf fics. Mind the tags. @authorticity - Good stuff. Highly recommend. Wholesome. @writeyouin - a massive collection of reader/TF. Their Human/Swerve series was pretty cute. @solain-rhyo - Multi-fandom. Very good. @ss-shitstorm - Because obviously you should.
#I hope these authors don't mind getting tagged#Its my loss that I haven't read from many of these on the list#But just because I haven't read their work doesn't mean you shouldn't.#I went off of whether they had 'writer/author' in the header or had any post on their works#There are a few names here who have been a huge inspiration to me and gave me the confidence to share what I write#I wish you luck on your quest anon#Anon asks#ShySpider Answers#Friday hiatus break#Im supposed to be working but...

It's that time of year again -- here's my AO3 Wrapped! [Find all of my fics on AO3 as w00t4ewan]
While I didn't write as much as previous years, I still hit some amazing achievements that I'm proud of. Namely, I had a blast participating in @cmkinkbingo2024 back in July! I wrote 25 smutty delicious fics that month in order to get a bingo blackout š¤©š¤©
Another achievement not mentioned above was the work I put into turning the Fooled Around AU series and the Jara: Stand By Me series into physical books!! I love having these novels sitting on my desk as inspiration.
My three most read authors were @swpf , @justjasper, and @arwenlalaith. All of whom I highly recommend checking out!
Thank you all for another incredible year of femslash and fun!

Hi!
(A mild panic on the topic of: This is not a question, oh god, this is NOT a question. This is a recommendation of a fandom at BEST.)
So I was reading a fic one day and my brain went very quickly in succession:
a) /Oh/, this is the good stuff
b) No wonder you think so, remember spydoc telepathy edition (And you, Taka, are like an ambassador of that land in my mind)
c) Actually many fics from this fandom are like this
d) Do we thinkā¦?
So I had two facts:
1. This is a thing someone I have a great respect for would probably enjoy.
2. There was no indication Taka has seen or engaged in the fandom of Pacific Rim. Despite its notoriety in this neck of the woods due to the concept of drifting in particular.
And what I am doing with those facts is telling you this. I think you are great and I think you would like the fics of Pacific Rim. So if you feel like checking it out, itās very low effort on entrance. Only one movie to see. Or two. Depends who you ask.
Here are two excerpts to judge for yourself. (Is this a spoiler? I know people for whom this would be a spoiler. For me itās a tester.)
1) Whatās a Little B&E Between Friends? By VoiceOfNurse (Part 20, Chapter 1)
No need to reach for the void, when he was so complete, nestled up against the part of Them that was Hermann.Ā
ā¦safeā¦Ā
Newt was aware, in as much as Hermann was aware. It was difficult to separate himself out, when Hermannās mind was locked around him like a steel trap made of numbers and chalk dust and spite. They were one organism in two parts- four lungs, drawing breath, two hearts beating in time. There was cold, and there was pain, but it was far away.Ā
There is no room for (masters-monsters-precursors) here. They are (insects-vermin-insignificant) when faced with (memory-language-connection). We are (brilliant-unstoppable-rockstars). We are (music-logic-science). We are (Newt-and-Hermann) and they are nothing.Ā
2) Whatās a Little B&E Between Friends? By VoiceOfNurse (Part 20, Chapter 2)
They were Drifting. Tendo couldnāt quite work out the whys and hows of it, especially now that he was being bitten to within an inch of his fucking life, but he was certain. Heād hurt Hermann by moving too fast, probably jostled the guyās leg, actually, which was folded weirdly under him with Newt on top, but the closest set of teeth bit him. Newt wasnāt even conscious in the traditional sense of the word, but Hermann was. Hermann was, and apparently Newtās teeth were available to rectify the situation. Newtās urges, too, because Tendo didnāt really picture Hermann as a biter.Ā
HELLO MY FRIEND oh my days I'm SO sorry but I'm laughing so much because this probably happened because tumblr search function is useless but 'no indication' sksksksk, oh my sweet summer child: here's the pacific rim tag on my blog LMAO - or, even better, the entire pacrim au I came up with for s12 of doctor who one time. Also. Also. Buddy. This is so funny, I love you so much. Are you aware that I'm obsessed with the works of one of the biggest Pacific Rim fanfic writers ever? I did, to be fair, literally take their name off my blog description yesterday to replace it with Bloodywood instead, and I'm more on the Stargate Universe side of things these days - but cleanwhiteroom is one of my favourite authors, and I read Designations Congruent with Things before I touched any of their Stargate material. If, my dear anon, you've not heard of cwr, then I really highly recommend their stuff, but I'll add a link below and see if I can dig up the other fic that I really loved from back in the day. Thank you for the fic rec though!! Those excerpts look excellent haha, I shall check that fic out when I get chance because you're absolutely right I love that kind of thing.
(also, absolutely DELIGHTED that you read this sort of stuff and thought of me - that is SUCH an honour oh my days! Like...rancid spydoc telepathy ambassador....what a title, I'm dead chuffed at this haha bless you!)
I think this is just so funny to me because - you couldn't possibly know this, of course, but like you know where I got this from? This love for writing weird, messed up mental connections between people?
Pacific Rim fanfiction HAHAHAHAHA
(and, later SGU - but I mean, mostly just cleanwhiteroom tbh. I was 16yo and I imprinted okay. But there were also other fics too, and they had an influence. Guh, Newt/Hermann post-drift fics are PEAK man)
Okay but actually let me tell you the story of how I got into pacrim because I think it's hilarious. So most people get into fandoms by like, yknow. Watching the film, reading the book, seeing the show, etc. I mean, how else would you do it? I'll tell you how. I was pottering about on deviantArt, back in the the grand old year of - oh, it must have been 2014. 2015? Something like that. Anyway, I stumbled across some Newt and Hermann fanart, and I didn't know the fandom but I was intrigued and REALLY liked the artstyle (I think the artist was feriowind?) - anyway I went on their profile and was MORE intrigued when I found they'd done some gorgeous cover art for THIS FIC, which got me so curious that I decided to read it. Without having watched the film. What I did was: read the plot summary on wikipedia, watched a couple of newt and hermann fanvids/clips (LIKE THIS ONE) so I could see them/hear their voices right, and then just blitz on through the fic with google images open in another tab so I could google thing like 'the shatterdome' and 'the LOCCENT pacific rim' and stuff like that for visual reference SKKSSK. Damn this is a throwback, I'm having a great time. ANYWAY. Read the fic. Loved it. Read the sequel. LOVED IT. Started looking for more fanart and stuff like that - and found a bunch of people kept on mentioning this fic called Designations Congruent with Things. Searched it up, found it on ao3, read the first 6 chapters and it almost melted my brain LMAO so I stopped. Then I couldn't stop thinking about it and I came back to it and oh my days. Oh my days. It fully rewrote my brain and DAMN I was obsessed. By this point I was vibrating in place at the mere thought of actually SEEING THE FILM, YKNOW. The film I'd read hundreds of thousands of words of fanfic about. Anyway, my friend who got secret santa for me that year literally had the easiest job on the planet HAHAHAHA so I watched it on Christmas Day and it was so so funny because like. You probably are aware of how much damn lore this film has. Like I knew the names of most of the jaegers that aren't even mentioned in the movie, I knew about Caitlin Lightcap and Sergio D'onofrio, but I had NO IDEA what was extended canon and what was fanon and what was actually. Y'know. In the film. So when I watched it I was like BUT WHERE'S LIGHTCAP for most of it HAHAHAH, but yeah it was great. SO GREAT. Guh I love the concept of the drift SO SO MUCH it's absolutely fascinating and just. AHH!! So so good.
Anyway. Absolutely losing it, bless. Sorry this is all over the place, I'm very tired but my goodness. Yes. Talk to me about drift bonds any day of the week, I'm here for it. If you want cleanwhiteroom fics, you can find them here. I linked the other one above, but there were a couple of others I read too...like I read a LOT of fics, and this was before I had an ao3 account rip so I don't have it in my fic reading history. There was one called Occam's Razor that I read a lot of, but I don't think I finished it. OH but I also liked this one (that i thought I found but it turned out to be the wrong one, am looking again now lol), from after Pacific Rim 2!! Which, as a film, I mostly consider to just be like. A fanfic with an exceptionally high budget ksksksks so yknow. I don't hate it because I don't consider it canon as much as I consider anything outside the original film canon. ANYWAY LOVE YOU
#SKSKSKSK I'M JUST LAUGHING SO MUCH I'M CRYING#BLESS YOUR HEART#i mean you're not wrong!! you are in fact absolutely right!!!#i definitely would enjoy this fandom!!!#taka replies#anon#pacific rim#<- here's my tag if you need it on mobile#cwr#cleanwhiteroom#cwr influenced so much of my writing style it's unreal#literally had a comment today mentioning that exactly phenomenon which ALSO made me cackle#bless you guys hahahaha#needed this today#thank you for bringing me a lot of joy#i love remembering old hyperfixations#fic#fic rec#long post

Hi! Iāve had a few qs around binding, goodreads etc so I thought Iād put them all in one place.Ā
Binding: Thank you so much for wanting to bind my work. I have no issue with this, providing that it is not for profit in any way. This includes, unfortunately, binding works to raise money for charity, commissions, or other worthy endeavours.Ā
If you are binding for personal use, please tag me! I would love to squeal with joy.Ā
AI: Please do not use my work in any kind of AI programme. If you are using AI to generate images for my work, please do not input extracts of my fics into them. If you want to read more about AI, language and meaning then I highly recommend this New York Magazine article, āYou are not a parrotā.Ā
Goodreads: This is controversial for many authors and I am absolutely only speaking for myself here, so if you want to do the same with another writerās work please check in with them first.Ā
I currently donāt have an issue with my work being on Goodreads. Iām not personally on there, but I appreciate that many people like to keep track of their reads this way. Please be mindful that other creators do not feel the same. And please also be mindful when āratingā that this is fanfic. I donāt really have beta readers (a friend will occasionally pick up a typo, but they absolutely sneak through), I write for free, and I also never have any assistance with plot, pacing, or character arcs. The quality of work does reflect this!Ā
Downloading: Thank you for wanting to read my work even when you donāt have access to ao3. I also donāt have a problem with fic downloads. However, my favourite thing about fanfic is the community. If you do decide to read āoff-gridā, please come back when you can and say hi. Iād love to chat!! (I love to chat, generally). If you read my work off ao3 (zip file, or reddit, or wherever), please come say hi/give it a shout out wherever you found it.
Fics of the fics: If you would like to write something based off of one of my fanfics, YAY! Please just tag me when itās up, so I can again, squeal with joy.Ā
Questions: If you have ANY questions about ANYTHING, writing processes, moodboards, playlists, thoughts, feelings, what my favourite anything is, please ask away! I try to answer all DMās, and I love to chat. Did I mention that already? Come chat to me. I donāt want to do my work. I want to talk about fanfic. You can find me on ao3, tiktok and tumblr as @cr0ftisprocrastinating <3
