Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, I recently went into the x-men and I found my own dead with Charles and Erik AND I NEED READ MORE OF THEM BUT I SO LOST AFTER POWERS AND HOUSE OF X SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE CONTINUE, can u help me?

(alsoIlikeyoursdrawingsiwishbeingsoconstantwithmycontentlikeu)

i'll be very candid with you my friend: i'm totally lost too !!!!!!! your comic-reading journey is about as green as mine and so i cant personally give you a super great guide- but beautiful people on the internet exist who've done most of the dirty work for us when sorting through the stories you 'should' read so i'm borrowing them to help us both

you can read this article to read about one person's advice with exploring krakoa and- in their opinion- its most 'significant' stories, though to summarize the issues they recommend looking into:

House of X/Powers of X (which you should have already done)

X of Swords event

Hellfire Gala

Inferno

X Lives and X Deaths of Wolverine

Second Hellfire Gala

Third Hellfire Gala

Fall of the House of X/Rise of the Powers of X (also should have already done, however...) +Single issue: X-Men (2021 series) #35 aka Uncanny X-Men #700 is featured at the end of the FoX omnibus, though the omnibus excludes an extra bit at the end involving a cliffhanger for Charles's fate after he's arrested

if you want to dig a little deeper though, you can check out this article from another individual which includes another wave of 'relevant' (word used loosely as some can be considered more poignant than others) krakoa stories and stories related to it or set during the period.

it's a lot longer and more in depth than the last article, so again i only really rec peaking at this one depending on how deep you wanna go, or if you decide you want to explore more after reading the more 'key' stories. def wouldn't hurt to give it a glance just in case you read some summaries that pique your interest!

all in all, don't take these as concrete rules or guides to follow: comics are meant to be fun, these are just good starting points if you're feeling lost or overwhelmed. at the end of the day, you decide ultimately what you want to read and which stories interest you the most

happy reading !

hi!! i love your fics, esp. your femslash, and was wondering if you had any recs with similar vibes to them? i can never find good sapphic content in this fandom lol. no worries or pressure either way, just wanted to let you know that i love what u do :)

hi thank u i’m glad u like my fics <3 unfortunately i have not been reading much fanfiction lately so i’m afraid that most of what i rec would be stuff u can already find in my fic recs tag, but i���ll tag some of my fave writers who have written lesbian marauders fics! u could check out:

invisiblemuseum @theinvisiblemuseum

twisted_tales_told @twisted-tales-told

arakhnee @arakhnee

thebloatedfrog @thebloatedfrog

dykesiriusblack @dykefever

moonymoment @mayescapade

bizarrestars @starsworth

& u can also look thru my fic recs tag! there are definitely many other people in this fandom writing really great lesbian fics i promise lol

[babybirbb]

Just started watching suits recently and was wondering if you had any good fic recs, particularly AUs. The nature of the show really lends itself to Selkie fics imo but also I just love selkies

anon i need you to know that as soon as i saw your ask i immediately went scouring through the AU tag on ao3. i’m not gonna lie, i'm not usually an AU reader but i wanted to challenge myself to provide some recs as unbiasedly as possible.

at first observation, i noticed a lot of the AU fics were still in some way canon (divergent and adjacent)-- usually splitting off somewhere along the show or a situation where Mike or Harvey is still a lawyer, while the other was not. i will say i skipped over smut-based (omegaverse, bdsm) and lengthy fics (under 20k is nothing, anything more than 50k is pushing it for me) cause i just did not have the brainpower to even try to get through them :/

so of course the ones i ended up liking were mostly canon divergent/adjacent but i tried my best to get you something different. what i managed to dig up for you is under the cut and i really hope you like them anon (also fyi these are all pretty much marvey fics, hope that's okay!) <3 also thanks so much for the ask! i enjoyed this little scavenger hunt haha!

As the World Caves In by SupernaturalIdjit16 | Mature - Zombie Apocalypse, Warning for the usual triggers that come with zombie apocalypse. It’s not a complete work but it literally got updated today!

Here at the end of all things by tattooedsiren | Explicit - Apocalypse, Hurt/Comfort, Mike and Harvey protecting each other, Mike does shoot someone and goes a bit into the psychological aftermath, light smut towards the end

The Haunting of Penthouse B by Skara_Brae | Teen+ - Supernatural Elements, Happy ending, Mike’s a ghost…or is he?

Meet Me at Midnight by butdaddyilovehim | Teen+ - Superheroes/Superpowers, Protective Harvey, he's also Batman…need i say more?

Complications by LearnedFoot | Teen+ - Canon divergence, Fake/pretend relationship, Harvey decides not to hire Mike, instead asks for his help to spite Jessica, of course they end up falling in love

The Touch by FrivolousSuits | Teen+ - Magic, Angst, Soulmate inspired, it’s also from Donna’s pov which was super fun and interesting, as was the nature of the magic

TBR list:

Wear My Name by Lunarflare14 (Teen+) and whatever the question by tattooedsiren (Explicit) - These are both Fake/Pretend relationship AUs based/inspired by The Proposal movie! (a very good movie imo)

The Game by FrivolousSuits | Teen+ - It’s a Hunger Games AU so i am intrigued, just haven't gotten around to reading it yet

Ocean Dream by Blue_Five | Mature - i apologize for being unable to provide you with a selkie fic so the best i could do was the incomplete merperson au... i hope it's enjoyable...😅

[wooly-nooly]

Edit: i added a fic also locked- i don’t want to dance, i want to be the music

Edit 2: added another fic- turning divine by swissieoo

[clearlydusty]

For drawing requests, how about post-game au Oumota?:o

I'm curious about what you think that could be, so no specifics from me!

No pressure ofc!!

Also I have a general question, did you ever watch Promare?

Oooh post game huh? Interesting ! Oumota is an interesting one, too! Fun fact : When I was younger I absolutely HATED Ouma, but now that I’m older and have a better understanding of his character , I don’t hate him anymore (Character development lmao) it would be nice to try something new, so ill def try an oumota post game au !! would you like to see multiple sketches of my interpretation them, or like a full drawing maybe ?

No I’ve never watched Promare (never heard of it either), I am interested in learning about what it is tho if you’d like to give me a summary on what it is 🩷 !

Thanks so much !!!

[oifaaa]

hi! I recently got into dc and I really like your characterization of the members and dynamic of the batfam - I was wondering if you had any fics to recommend based on that?

thank you!

Not really I've bookmarked a couple fics that are based off my Aus on my ao3 (you can find a link on my pinned post) but aside from that I don't really know any fics that have charaisations or dynamics similar to mine I kinda went off on my own a while back doesn't help that I've only read 1 batfam fic in the last 6 months (it was one of @dragonpyre you should go check out their fics tho they're good)

[tenspontaneite]

you mention you read a lot in a recent ask about your interests - do you have any particularly cherished favorites? rare gems? genres or tropes you enjoy?

The majority of what I read is fanfic, but if I recced fanfics I'd be here for years and frankly I cannot be bothered. I do have a lot of book recs too though. I'll just do a few of the main ones that come to mind rn.

Most recent fave: Project Hail Mary, Andy Weir. Same author as The Martian, again with a storyline that I would describe more as PvE than PvP, which I personally really enjoy and can never find enough of. I only bought this book like a month ago but have already reread it three times. I want a hundred more books with the same kind of alien first contact and interaction and mutual problem solving that this book has. The premise: the sun has a space algae problem, and this is going to result in the death of everyone on Earth in a few decades if a solution isn't found. Also looking for a solution: at least one other alien species whose sun, similarly, has a space algae problem. To quote, "Astrophage on my star. Bad, bad, bad."

Overall fave author: M.C.A Hogarth. Most of their work is for an overarching universe called the Peltedverse, which comprises multiple series. These are extremely queer sci-fi series involving humans, aliens, and human engineered furry races. Dreamhealers is the best series to start with, but my favourite of the Peltedverse series is Prince's Game (warning: challenging content). There's also separate series like the Stone Moon trilogy (warning: challenging content), which I also adore but only recommend if you like things that rip out your heart and stamp on it. Overall Hogarth has probably been the biggest influence on my writing style in the last decade, and I love what they do with characters.

Last rec of the day: the Scholomance Trilogy, Naomi Novik. Novik is a pretty well known name in fandom for a lot of reasons, but I feel like fewer people are aware of this series than the Temeraire series. This book is about what if there was magic but being magical was so heinously dangerous due to all the things trying to eat you that people end up doing really fucked up things to survive and that's now the foundation of magical society, and also shoving all your kids into a hell school full of monsters is legitimately the best way of getting them to adulthood uneaten. I find Scholomance has a vibe which makes it unusually rereadable, so I have read it more times than I have most book series. All three are good books but mostly first and third imo, sometimes when I'm doing a full reread I skip some or most of the second one.

[vaperarmand]

hii what are some of ur fav roman gerri fics? i just finished night steals and i’m in desperate need of a new slow burn fic

ooh i don’t know how much these could be considered slow burn (i am the king of reading short one shots) but these are my absolute faves:

love is: by darlingdarling

probably sweeter than real life rg but i’m only human and also the characterization is SOOO good. post canon stuff but written pre s4

evacuation strategies for a yacht on fire by devourthemoon

truly a classic, fake but real marriage, s2 ish era which makes me so nostalgic, plus i appreciate the more detailed references to lower manhattan because i’m an insane person that way

show me what you’re good for by parhelion_shoreline

phone sex, crazy good dialogue, roman being feminized 😈

the true encounter by wellprince

nasty in a good way, does gay roman things with jeryd mencken 😈

also really anything by @threeguesses but i especially i was born to beg for you for a post s3 + s4 narrative and sweet you rock and sweet you roll for just inspiringly in character smut

[demelzathemer]

I've never been active in any fandoms, not really, but dbd is such a special thing I started writing posts and commenting on fics regularly, slowly changing from being a lonely lurker in the fandom space.

But now after the news, I feel even bigger need for community, I want to find my people, I want to participate. I'll follow all the blogs who are staying here and I'll keep commenting and interacting.

You can say hello in the notes if you feel the same. We can inspire and support each other to create our own content!

If you have any active/open discord servers, share the links, I know many people have the same longing for community. We can be that for each other!

[tojiscrack]

Recommend us some good jjk things u already read 🎀

say please 😐

unfortunately, i don’t read jjk fics… like, at all. i have two main reasons why:

i write them, sure, but i have this intense fear of reading jjk/reader fics (hypocritical, i know, but idc 🌝) simply ‘cause of the fact that i have these characters a certain way in my mind: VERY CANONICALLY-CENTRED.

when reading, i’d enjoy that with only a TOUCH of fanon, seeing as it’s usually romantic, reader-insert, love interest fics, and we’ve only ever actually seen two couples in jjk, and not even in depth — miwa and mechamaru + toji and mamaguro — therefore we can’t exactly say for certain what other characters would be like in a relationship and stuff: what we picture and write here is fanon.

but i did try a couple times. it just wasn’t for me, ig.

secondly, literally every gojo/reader story ever (i say gojo specifically cuz i’m only interested in reading about him and no one else 😭) has smut in it.

unpopular take, but i dislike smut. very much.

so essentially, i’m useless in this department.

p.s. that’s not to say that you yourself can’t read other fics and enjoy them the way they are. that’s great for you, and lovely for the author, but my personal opinion is that i just can’t, and that’s alr. i’ll silently move on and write my own :)

[allastoredeer]

Hello, I recommended ‘Day by Day, Week by Week’ and have returned with three things.

First of, how ya going?

Second, what did you think of the fic? Just curious.

Third, I’ve found another fic series that I think you might enjoy, it’s by oly_chic, the series is called switching control, it’s got a decent bit of top Al, but it’s more focused on communication and learning boundaries and finding a way to be healthier together.

Bye bye 👋

Hello!

To answer you're first question, I am...doing my best! Been having massive brain fog over the last week and I am confused about everything all the time.

Second, I thought the omegaverse world the author built was very creative and interesting! I don't think I've read another omegaverse that had so many different, uh, castes? Second genders? I don't know if they specificed that exact term for it, but it was interesting! I like how Alastor automatically switched between based on his emotions, it was cute <3 Also the part where Charlie was hugging Alastor, and he said "your dad is here," but Charlie thought he was talking about himself as her father figure and hugged him even tighter I fldjnsdlkjskldbvjhsbvflibvsip that scene hasn't left my brain since I read it, it was so cute and wholesome (and then hilarious when Charlie realized he meant "biological dad" LMAO)

Ah, I'm not much of a top!Al gal (in any form of the dynamic). I just don't get a lot of enjoyment out it, so I tend to avoid it. I do love Lucifer and Alastor focusing on communication and boundaries though 👉👉 god knows they probably need it.

[puck-luck]

Thank you for recommending their blogs. I will surely check them out. 🩷 I’ve been trying to find more hockey blogs to follow and new hockey fics to read.

i hope you enjoy! My favorite fic by Cappy is her Quinn x Reader x Trevor threesome and my favorite fic by Brynn is her Risqué Reflections fic with Luke.

[jovenshires]

do you have any damangela fic recommendations? thanks!

i actually dont read any damangela tbh!! just not my jam. BUT i feel like treasured mutual and my buddy @gay-nonderogatory might have some recs??

[bookwyrminspiration]

Hi quil what are the books you like about dragons I want to find them I feel like I’ve asked this before oops

Someone's asked, but I have no problem revisiting it!

The Aurelian Cycle by Rosaria Munda; with one of my favorite depictions of dragon/rider bonds I've ever seen, we follow Annie, Lee, and the other young dragonriders of Callipolis as it tries to establish itself in the aftermath of a violent revolution. Annie, former serf, and Lee, former royal, grew up in an orphanage together in the aftermath, and together have risen to the top of the new regime as dragonriders. But the regime is untested and flagging under the stress, and did the revolution even fix anything? With beautiful character relationships, arcs, plot, and politics, Aurelian Cycle is a delight to read

The Memoirs of Lady Trent by Marie Brennan; Lady Isabella Trent, now an old woman, tells the story of how she became the world's most renowned dragon naturalist, literally changing the world, via her memoirs. Dragon's are little understood beasts, but they've enchanted her since childhood. Overcoming sexism and the infinite political hoops of science, we follow her rise to the top--involving her personal life, her professional life and its politics, uncovering the biology and past cultures of dragons/dragon-centric societies, I adore this series.

To Shape A Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose; Anequs discovers an egg indigenous to her island and bonds with its hatchling, the species thought to have disappeared years ago. But there's all sorts of rules by the colonizing Anglish society when it comes to dragons, and to prevent them from taking out their wrath on her people, she must attend their school to learn how to handle the hatchling as they see fit--but her customs and theirs consistently clash as one of the only girls and one of only two Indigenous people at the school. The thorough worldbuilding, character relationships, and real-world complex topics of culture and colonization make this book absolutely gripping--I eagerly await the sequel

When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill; In the 1950s, thousands of women across America spontaneously turned into dragons and left society behind. No one talks of it directly, dragoning a distinctly feminine and therefore shameful thing. Alex loses her aunt to dragoning, and her mother to illness--and finds herself responsible for her young niece at only 16, who keeps looking to the skies. She struggles to find herself as the world struggles against the continued dragoning of women who are tired of being made to feel small. It's a lovely story of femininity and empowerment and self, though it does focus near exclusively on white womanhood.

Those are the first that come to mind--I've also enjoyed The Ice Dragon by George R.R. Martin, which is a quick read. And A Chorus of Dragons, but despite the title that's not really about dragons.

I've recently acquired some new dragon books though, so perhaps soon I can add them to this list!
