#i also kinda stay away from roleswap as well. i dont know i dont really find the concept that interesting

[theunconcernedembalmer]

(For mun) you mentioned that there were a couple of good writing for Aesop's character, I'd really like to read those recs if you're okay with sharing them!

boi i have not read these fics in a very long time, mostly cos i got tired filtering out all the horny all the time n all the AUs i dont dig. n is it just me or i really cant find good joseph n aesop fics in the tag. hmm. also if u have been looking through the tags in ao3 u probably have read all these before aha. also i just realized u meant aesops character n not. joseph n aesop.. to which i will apologize first cos thats all i ever read aha. but i promise aesop is ok hand sign in these uwu

anyway if anyone has good reccs pls hmu i’ll share them here XD i am pretty picky with my fics tho so i guess i shouldnt be complaining when there isnt much Food. anyanyway the gucci is under the cut

its really not a lot HAHAHAHAH the post just got uncomfrotably long with text. i definitely did not waste so much time on this rereading everything i probably missed a few since i dont actually have them saved n had to trawl through the tags for them, but here are some of my favs, all finished. minimal horny stuff, though if there is its part of the plot.

Truce Day- a day where hunters and survivors team up for a game in the manor. i really like aesop’s character in this where he realizes that joseph is his favourite kind of person: dead. very slight horny warning

Local Frenchman Becomes Uncle to Rich Headless Boy- modern AU where joseph calls aesop in to cover babysitting duty for robbie, a very unhinged little boy. i love the dynamics between aesop and joseph but especially joseph and robbie.

Will you give me a drink?- modern barista AU. barista and regular customer pine for each other from across the cafe counter. some parts are incredibly cheesy but its really really sweet, and i especially love That One Chapter. that chapter really sold it for me (its the bitter sweet drink one)

To Pause Time With You- post manor AU, slow burn. this one has pretty heavy themes including homophobia n religious stuff (ngl some of it made me feel a little uncomfortable), so a huge heads up. also some horny, but the author made it such that u can skip it entirely without affecting the story. its not recommended for minors to read, but when has that stopped yall really. anyway im a sucker for slow burn n there’s really not many slow burn fics for these two so

and if you’re just here for left aesop with no joscarl i can only recommend Emma Woods Direct Identity V Stage! high school theatre AU oneshot, that n everything else is in the title really HAHAHAHAH this one has a lot of characters everywhere with no particular relationship in focus but everyone is very well characterized and overall a joy to read. sorry im just here for the pairing so u get this HAHAHAHAH
