《 ♡ Soulmate September Schedule ♡ 》

hello lovely fandom, @aggro-my-beloved here! i’m over the moon to announce that for the entire month of september i will be posting soulmate au centered fics featuring your favorite redacted pairings! some are canon, some are not…but all the works listed below are ones i’m proud to share. the plots and pairings will be listed below the cut. please interact by replying or reblogging this post, and let me know if you’d like to be tagged in any of the following fics once they are

posted <3 (p.s. pls don’t let this flop)

all the following prompts are based on this post from my main blog, @buck-nialled

⑨.②.②④ ⇒ “Long In The Tooth” (LaskoxDear)

[lasko’s been eighteen for six years now, and frankly, he’s becoming sick of playing a juvenile. what makes his endeavor for a soulmate even more bewildering? they’re one of his students.]

❾.❹.❷❹ ⇒ “Trash Polka” (AsherxBabe)

[babe is tired of wearing hoodies in summer, and leggings in the spring. but their soulmate seems too caught up in his career to mind leaving little notes and drawings on their skin, rather than meeting up for a legitimate conversation. babe takes matters into their own hands, which soon won’t be covered by a mod-podge of their soulmate’s scribbles. at least, one can hope.]

⑨.⑥.②④ ⇒ “The Grey Area” (GuyxHoney)

[what’s more depressing than witnessing an amusement park in black and white? realizing it may be the last time you visit one, is probably what guy would answer, as he dangles upside down on Wonderworld’s “Surge” coaster. the pretty stranger next to him isn’t the worst company, though.]

❾.❽.❷❹ ⇒ “A Great Disservice” (DavidxAngel)

[david serves a dangerous line of work. and angel? they cat sit. still, both come home with cuts and scratches for the same reason.]

⑨.①⓪.②④ ⇒ “Rumination” (DamienxHuxley)

[a re-imagined dialogue to the elemental bois confessing their feelings.]

❾.❶❷.❷❹ ⇒ “Resigned/Sullen” (DavidxAsher)

[neither david nor asher have spoken post-inversion about the turmoil they experienced in the arena. not the scars that wouldn’t heal, not what caused them, and certainly not who kept asher from bleeding out on the ground.]

⑨.①④.②④ ⇒ “Pulsation” (Foolsverse!MiloxSweetheart)

[milo enjoys feeling his soulmate’s heart thump faster when he’s present. but only when he’s present.]

❾.❶❻.❷❹ ⇒ “Like and Unlike” (Davidxfem!Angel)

[angel thinks she’s finally found a cure for her crippling social anxiety at Dahlia’s local gym. but she cannot tell if david, the ill-tempered coach, will be the one to make or break her progress.]

⑨.①⑧.②④ ⇒ “Parting Song” (QuinnxDarlin’)

[when you’re standing next to who you think is your soulmate, as you watch the real one whither away in a shitty steel department chair—how do you respond?]

❾.❷⓪.❷❹ ⇒ “Battered and Bruised” (Samx Darlin’)

[so long as he doesn’t tell them, sam can keep up his act of healing darlin’ without suspicion. it’s magic, after all…]

⑨.②②.②④ ⇒ “Twin, Where Have You Been?” (MiloxSweetheart)

[“well, sweetheart. one of us is gonna have to change.” in which milo and his soulmate will forever be that couple.]

❾.❷❹.❷❹ ⇒ “Midnight Oil” (AaronxSmartass)

[the matchmaker test is the one exam nobody can study for. only fate will tell a person who they truly belong with. still, aaron attempts to pull an all nighter with his overly-charming classmate in an attempt to cheat the system.]

⑨.②⑥.②④ ⇒ “All Roads Lead To…” (DavidxDarlin’)

[david’s twelve years young and still leashed in red, wondering when he’ll meet the one on the other side of it, or if he even wants to. darlin’ is eleven years in, a hopeless romantic, and crossing the California state line when they notice their red string now has a little slack.]

❾.❷❽.❷❹ ⇒ “Change Your Tune” (GeordixCutie)

[cutie’s soulmate is the number one target on their shit list. because who on god’s green earth gets the tetris theme stuck in their head on a daily basis? well, they’re about to meet him...]

⑨.③⓪.②④ ⇒ “As If You’ll Live Forever” (ElliotxSunshine)

[the one thing more ironic than sunshine’s soulmate being a dreamwalker is how tired they’ve become of sleeping.]

[tryingahandinholdingapen]

who'd like a significantly more fucked up au than my usual?

you're getting it anyway

ummmmm so dyou know those fics wherein Bad Sibling Hashirama (knowingly or unknowingly) hands over Tobirama to an obsessive and vengeful/hateful Uchiha, and Tobirama proceeds to have a completely terrible time at the hands of Izuna and or Madara?

yeah

anyway. slight inverse of that trope!

Hashirama, through a misunderstanding or just really poor choice of words, unknowingly just,,,gives Izuna to Actual Demon Tobirama, by acknowledging their rivalry, during the war

He does not realise he's done this. Madara does not know anything about this. Tobirama quite possibly doesn't realise it wasn't what Hashirama intended, or if he does realise, he doesn't care

(Usual fear mongering/shit talking rumours about how Tobirama is Hashirama's feral beast on a leash or whatever and it's like. Well. Tobirama IS ultimately loyal to Hashirama. And he DOES obey Hashirama's every command. And he IS a monster, like, unspecified youkai/monster/demon. The problem is that Hashirama doesn't think about his words enough nor often phrase it as a COMMAND and also uhhhh Tobirama neither understands nor cares about human morals or customs, really. Which means that yes he obeys the letter of every rule or command that Hashirama issues, but the spirit thereof? Forget it)

Anyway the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are at war and undergoing the mundane horrors thereof, and as far as any of them know the same goes for everyone in both clans, meanwhile Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Izuna alone is going through the mundane horrors of war, yeah, but... He's also going through the HorrorsTM, you know?

At some point Tobirama invents the Edo Tensei and presents it to Hashirama for approval and Hashirama goes "No. This is now a kinjutsu and you are forbidden from performing it or researching it further. This is unbelievably unethical brother how could you?"

And Tobirama (does not understand or care about human ethics) goes "Understood." and he never performs the resurrection jutsu he adapted for human usage again, as Hashirama requested

Less than 24 hours after that conversation, Izuna is in his own goddamned house being forced to BEG Tobirama to kill him and bring him back (and back, and back, and back-) in the possibly vain hope that doing so will spare his brother from the demon's attention for just a little longer, please, please, please, mercy, please-

Izuna is absolutely the most devout Uchiha in the clan, the most superstitious too. Nothing he's found that's meant to kill or banish any form of demon or youkai or evil being, or bar them from entering an area or trap them, has worked against Tobirama. But quite a few DO seem to work to slow him down or mildly hurt/injure him or distract him, so Izuna persists. It's all he fucking has. If all he can get is a few moments warning or a petty victory here and there, he'll take it and be grateful. He is acutely aware at all times that Tobirama COULD have killed him the very first time they met at the fucking river, or any time since, but DOESN'T because the bastard seems to find it amusing to play with him

Izuna is basically a bundle of various obsessive tendencies, devotion, hatred, (overcompensating) pride and vanity, annnd intense overwhelming fear at just...All times. Every moment of his life. It feels like that's all he is at this point. And it's all Tobirama's fault

Izuna INSISTS that any illness or injury he suffers should be treated in his own bedroom as much as possible, if at all feasible. He doesn't tell anyone why (he's in deep denial about this but Convinced that if he tells anyone anything about what's Up with Tobirama then he'll just target them too or kill them outright) but some people in the clan have figured out his reasoning anyway: it's because the healing halls won't allow him to burn incense, or put up wards or tokens, or (half a dozen other superstitions and/or religious practices) like he does in his own room in the main line's house

They don't want to humour him on this, because treating him somewhere other than the healing halls is not only massively inconvenient for the healers+other patients, but potentially dangerous (his room isn't anywhere near as sanitary as the healing halls, for one). However. Unfortunately they often have to give in anyway, because trying to treat Izuna in the healing halls is really fucking difficult because the poor fucker ends up going through half a dozen panic attacks in a row and blindly fearfully lashing out at half the treatments, so trying to treat him in his own home is often the lesser of two evils

Many people in the clan, including the leading priestess and his own brother+clan head Madara have tried to get to the bottom of this apparently intense phobia, but have had no luck. It's really worrying?

(Izuna in hysterics about how he won't have even a few minutes warning if Tobirama shows up again, he doesn't even have anything to alert him or wake him up oh god-)

When Tobirama stabs him on the battlefield, and Hashirama offers to heal him in exchange for peace, but Izuna instead convinces Madara to refuse, honestly the amount of trust or lack thereof he has in the Senju clan on the whole is not even a factor in his mind. He...doesn't really think about the Senju clan, really? He thinks about what he can do to help his brother, and how he can best serve his own clan, and how he can attempt to appease/escape/delay Tobirama, and about religion, and...that's about it. Its sort of pathetic to think of it, but anything else doesn't even register on his radar. His focus is very very narrow out of necessity. So the Senju clan as a whole are... They're fine, probably. Peace might even go okay, might be better than the current state of affairs, for all he knows

But.

But. Tobirama had never injured him to this extent on the battlefield before, not in all these years, despite the fact that he's painfully aware it would have been so so easy for Tobirama to cut him down at any time. The fact that the demon's decided to do this now...

...And the way Tobirama STARED at him from behind their brothers' backs...

...No. He knew, if he allowed Madara to accept Hashirama's interference in Tobirama's new game, it wouldn't be either of the Senju who would pay for the offense. It would be him, or worse, it would be Madara. That was the only thing on Izuna's mind. So he refused, he refused the healing, he urged Madara to reconsider, he ignored Hashirama's beseeching words, he refused to allow anyone to help him...

And as Madara ran home with him to the healing halls, he shuddered and tried to forget the way Tobirama's lips curled into a smile at Izuna's desperate refusal to be saved

On Home, Wally, and their dynamic

Warning: Big Long Post! Rambly. Speculative!

In the early days of the Welcome Home fandom, it was often speculated that Home's role in the narrative was antagonistic, one defined by coercive control and abuse of Wally. This idea of a sinister, manipulative Home has inspired many AUs, pieces of fanart and has overall made a big impression on the fandom's perspective of Home as a character.

While this still remains very possible as an outcome, especially given that the series is still in its prologue, a lot of what I've observed in the latest update has painted a very different picture in my mind.

Below are some miscellaneous observations, both from the update and from information we had prior to the update.

Wally is excited about Eddie potentially being able to lift Home in the storybook recording, as he would like Home to be able to get a hot dog from Howdy's bodega like he and Barnaby always do.

Wally speaks often of his love for Home in the guestbook, and even writes Home's signature for it at the bottom of the page.

Home is shown, in a famous piece of art on Clown's Tumblr, to be the "plus-one" Wally would invite to a wedding, and he's shown smiling fondly at it through the window of the chapel while it peers in from outside.

This piece of promotional art, as well as this crayon drawing from the April Fool's Day prank where Wally briefly took over Clown's Twitter to post his drawings, show a big Wally cradling a small Home in his arms. This is an inversion of their actual relationship, as Wally is just a little guy and Home is a great big house. In the latter drawing, Wally has obsessively written Home's name over and over again.

In the bug vignette featuring Barnaby and Home on the page with the script, Barnaby understands Home perfectly when it speaks and has a fluent back and forth with it. Its responses to him seem amused and sarcastic, and it generally looks to be having fun bantering with him and sassing him. When Barnaby becomes concerned for Wally at the end, Home's noises sound concerned and urgent, like worried questions. It's concerned for Wally's change in behavior too.

Conversely, Wally is shown in his audio excerpts from the show to be socially-awkward and unable to comprehend things like sarcasm and turns of phrase. At his best, he sounds like he's saying things he's rehearsed before. At his worst, especially in the audio messages he leaves, he struggles even to speak, as though he cannot find the right word or that speech itself is hard on him. He begins to hyperventilate and lose his grasp on proper intonation in the latter recordings, likely out of distress or frustration.

In the Morse code message on the So Below page, most people interpret what Home is saying as either "help" or "hello". The former indicates distress on its part, while the latter indicates it trying to go along with Wally, as he introduced it in the previous audio message and explained (while struggling not to hyperventilate) that it makes noises.

In the picture of Wally and Home in "So Below", Home's eye is shuddering in seeming distress while Wally is knelt at its window. Although this is commonly interpreted as an act of worship, Home does not look particularly happy or powerful here. Wally's outstretched hand may be caressing it, or otherwise trying to pat or soothe it. Wally's eyes shudder in a similar manner in the "Stay Quiet" page.

The dark substance beneath Home has begun leaking to the point that it is now visible on the desktop version of the Neighborhood page. This is very likely the same substance mentioned on the secret, staff-only page, which apparently causes "nausea, dizziness and fatigue" upon physical contact.

The impression that I've gotten from this is that Home and Wally are more akin to intimate peers – siblings, very close friends, possibly even romantic partners* – than they are to an abusive guardian and their child. Much of what I'm about to say is speculative, and may not hold up after further updates, but it's nonetheless the vibe I'm getting.

Wally and Home have a deep understanding of one another, deeper even than Wally's friendship with Barnaby. They are bound so tightly that one can scarcely exist without the other. Home shelters Wally within itself, granting him the sanctuary of its own body. Wally, in turn, grants Home a purpose as its inhabitant and tends to its needs, always making sure to help it feel included in neighborhood activities. Both are seen doting on one another with the sort of fondness only years of intimate familiarity can bring. Each is attuned to (and interested in) the other's needs.

Neither Home nor Wally are doing well at this point in the narrative. Wally is audibly deteriorating when he addresses us (or the Question-Answerer) in the audio snippets. He's barely able to keep it together, and some sort of horrific distortion is slipping into his voice. Home, meanwhile, has only seen its sludge problem get worse, and does not seem able to do much at all besides the occasional response in Morse code. These utterances are few and far between, especially compared to how chatty and lively it seemed in the Barnaby vignette. It seems withdrawn, perhaps even exhausted. It is very likely sick.

Home has, up until this point, been "the strong one" in the relationship, as a house must be. In addition to bearing up its body as shelter for Wally, it may have carried the little fellow's social burdens, as it seems to hold its own very well in conversation. But now it's fallen ill. Gravely ill. It's unable to go and look for help, being a house, and is put in a precarious situation due to its immobility. None of the other neighbors are around to help it.

Wally cares for his Home deeply. He is grateful for its shelter and its friendship. He's the only one who can help it now – it's finally his turn to be strong. He wants desperately to protect it, to find help for it, and this is what drives him to reach out. But he doesn't know how one asks for help, or how even to describe the problem. His tranquil neighborhood never made him confront that reality, and he's now left floundering. Home can only watch helplessly, through a haze of sickness, as he humiliates himself again and again in his pained, futile struggle to be understood.

It's driving him mad. It's forcing him to feel emotions he can barely describe. Every attempt only serves to further terrorize the Question-Answerer and double his own anger and misery.

But he can't stop. He must be strong for Home. He will make his neighbor understand.

So TL;DR, I see it as less "Home has Wally trapped!" or "Wally is doing something bad to Home!" and more this heartbreaking nugget from Learning With Pibby. If Home is malevolent, I think Wally's going to be right there at its side. And if he manages not to be, I think it will be a tragic effect of the corruption rather than any innate badness Home has in it. I think we are shown how wonderful and precious this Home can be so it will be all the more heart-wrenching when that is no longer the case. At any rate, I am enthralled and am so grateful to be able to engage with this wonderful piece.

*I hate that I have to even say this, but – please don't misconstrue that I think siblings and romantic partners are the same thing, or any other implication therein. I'm an eldest sibling myself and find the idea abhorrent. I say this only because relationships in a text can be very ambiguous, and there are many flavors of closeness between people that share similarities.

Anyway, thank you so much if you read this far! Welcome Home has really given me the analysis bug again... heehee, bugs.

Monsterframe 1999 au thoughts re: what the hex are like when they’re monsters. Scale of who’s the most cognizant/lucid when transformed: tends to inversely correlate with how well they hide and suppress their nonhuman impulses. I still need to get around to designing what everyone looks like oughh

Eleanor: most lucid. Least amount of psychological differences between human and monster forms. Able to communicate telepathically, reasonable, albeit with an increased tendency to climb on the walls and make clicking noises.

Amir: mostly lucid, although lacks impulse control and is distracted to an extreme. Capable of understanding things spoken to him, but limited in his ability to communicate back which visibly frustrates him. Not entirely coherent, but usually reasonable, and it does not take much to snap him out of mindless behavior.

Aoi: actually having a grand time. Prone to brief flashes of agitation and aggressively animalistic behavior, but for the most part is not aggressive. Destructive (methodically disassembles random shit) and maternal (will bite you by the scruff and carry you somewhere else) but otherwise harmless if she likes you. Can follow a conversation, but Will pin you to the floor and groom your hair against your will.

Quincy: alternating between being aggressively angsty or chewing on things he shouldn’t. It takes a lot to draw him to coherency, and has selective hearing when others try to talk to him. Independent and aloof in the way a standoffish cat is, although will never be far away from others. Ambush predator.

Lettie: da giant rat that makes alla da rules. Hostile to all but her rat colony, almost always highly agitated by human presence, but can be bribed with peanut butter. Often engaged in grooming and nesting behaviors, hoards food. Spits and hisses and runs away to hide. Capable of squeezing through smaller spaces than you’d expect.

Arthur: having a horrible terrible time. Territorial, easily agitated, incoherent. In the rare instances where he’s not rampaging in a panic he spends most of his time pacing and sulking. Most likely to be found engaging in explicitly destructive behaviors (ripping apart a sofa because it pissed him off). Often possessed by the compulsion to Run Away Very Far Away and Scream into the Night. Most likely to eat a guy.

So a while back, @a-slight-sweet-fiction and I came up with a Carlos-Charles roleswap AU!

In which it's Charles the Theologist, along with his infant son Donovan, who comes to Night Vale in 2012 to study Huntokar (and the angels, the Glow Cloud, etc.) and ends up falling for Her Voice, and several years later it's Carlos the Scientist who ends up in Desert Bluffs Too on his quest to study the scientifically-fascinating Other Empty Desert!

Charles and Cecil are somehow the least unhinged pairing between these four; they mellow each other out a lot, and probably have lots of deep existensial conversations about the universe while snuggling and staring at the stars (and the clouds, when those get legalized).

Inversely, Kevin and Carlos enable support each other to the most extreme degree and are probably a few sideway steps away from world domination. (I just really wanted to draw a Carlos who's a little more Mad Scientist; he wears Kevin's blood in a vial around his neck because he's a romantic like that.)

It was Alex's idea to call this the Scientifically Assured Destruction AU, partly to highlight the more harmful ways Kevin and Carlos enable each other, and partly because it abbreviates to SAD and that would piss Kevin off so much :D

[thiswasinevitable-rwrb]

Inverse Hades Game au where Henry is a pantheon god on earth who fights his way down into the Underworld to find his father.

Alex is the prince of the Underworld but also ambassador to earth, so he and Henry already know one another but are both annoyed that Alex, of all people, is not only the best person to help him, but that he is voluntarily helping him.

"Dude, are you sure about this? Have you heard of Orpheus? Not a great track record, coming down here. Oh, you gotta meet him. He's not much for conversation but his tunes are sick."

"Hey! You again? Well, you're headed straight for Asphodel, so take this, you'll need it." (Bestows boon.)

"What are you the god of, anyway? Stubbornness?"

"Oh. Shit. You're...a demigod. That's...arguably worse than a normal god. Too much human means you've got too much heart. Hearts don't last very long where gods are concerned."

"Want a wager? Since you're down here so much. First one to Elysium wins. I'll give you a boost if you win."

"Henry...take this. It's my cthonic companion. If you're about to die - or any reason...maybe just to see me - you know what to do. I'll be with you in an instant."

[christian-dubuis-santini]

Qu’est-ce que la psychanalyse a à voir avec la phénoménologie de l’esprit de Hegel ?

La psychanalyse — la vraie, qui ne court pas les rues, et encore moins les plateaux-télé — est une clinique du discours et un Discours.

L’analyse n’opère que du discours qui la conditionne. Le Discours de l’Analyste est le lien social déterminé par la pratique d’une analyse menée jusqu’à son terme logique.

Le Discours Universitaire, qui est par structure le plus antipathique au Discours de l’Analyste, fait recel du Signifiant-Maître (S1) et met ainsi en scène une disjonction entre sujet de l'énoncé (grammatical) et sujet de l'énonciation (logique).

Pour comprendre l’écart entre sujet de l’énoncé et sujet de l’énonciation, mis à jour par Lacan, il n’est pas inutile de faire un petit retour sur la Phénoménologie de l’esprit de Hegel…

Lorsque Hegel traite de la position ascétique, il dit que l’ascète convertit le déni du corps en un déni incarné.

Prenons garde à ne pas prendre cette inversion hegelienne pour un simple reflet en miroir qui renverrait les éléments dans les limites de la même configuration.

La conversion hegelienne est «médiée» par un impossible (qui correspond au Réel lacanien) - puisque l ‘ascète est dans l’impossibilité de dénier RÉELLEMENT le corps (ce qui signifierait sa mort) la seule chose qu’il puisse faire est d’incarner ce déni même, c’est à dire d’organiser la vie de son corps comme un vivant désaveu, une renonciation incarnée.

Mais alors l’ascète subvertit lui-même sa propre position "théorique" qui veut que la vie terrestre du corps soit inutile et impuissante, il ne s’occupe plus que de son corps, ne cessant de trouver de nouveaux moyens de le mortifier, de le pacifier, au lieu de lui témoigner une indifférence distante.

Notons que le passage d’une «figure de la conscience» à une autre a lieu quand le sujet prend conscience de l’écart qui sépare son «énoncé» (sa position «théorique») de sa position d’énonciation réelle, et assume en conséquence, comme sa nouvelle position théorique explicite, ce qu’auparavant il mettait en scène à son insu.

L’inconscient est un savoir insu de lui-même, un dire qui ne se sait pas.

Là où il y a le plus d'inconscient, c'est dans "l'auto-conscience" que nous avons de nous-même, la façon de nous rapporter à nos attitudes "conscientes".

Il est nécessaire que je sois privé de la couverture fantasmatique qui me dit ce que l'Autre veut de moi car c'est seulement à partir de là, bourré d'angoisse, que je prends conscience que l'Autre veut effectivement quelque chose de moi - mais sans savoir quoi ! - ce qui me renvoie à ma responsabilité absolue de prendre le risque consistant à déterminer "par moi-même" (à savoir dans l’inconfort de l’indécidable qui marque l’impossible) les coordonnées de mon désir…

Peronality Inversion AU: Team Sol

Blaze

Doesn't take her job very seriously but still begrudgingly guards the Sol Emeralds to keep the status quo/her lifestyle.

More carefree and chill. Also the aforementioned lifestyle. Doesn't take most things seriously.

Likes fancier outfits (refuses to wear high heels though cause they cramp her style) but still likes room to move.

Shoves most of her work onto others so she can go off and do whatever.

Not a dictator but definitely not trying her best to run a perfect country.

Best friends with Marine even if she won't admit it. Not that she really has anyone else she's close too...

Bit stuck up. Feels a bit pride whenever referred to as a princess despite not doing much princess things.

Not afraid to let her true feelings shine most of the time.

Little to no manners.

A bit scatterbrained at times.

Marine

Not very talkative and mostly just speaks when spoken to. Blaze is the only one she'll actually have a real conversation with.

Tends to be a wallflower.

Self appointed herself as Blaze's personal assistant (later became a maid) after she was nice to her one time. It kinda weirded Blaze out at first but she got used to it.

Not only is she Blaze's maid but she's also her bodyguard, having trained her hydrokinesis ever since becoming acquainted with Blaze.

Thinks things through carefully.

Very serious. You wouldn't wanna get on her bad side.

Does not seek adventure but she's content going wherever Blaze goes.

Silver

Extremely serious and not naive.

Pessimistic and quite selfish.

Doesn't have a very strong sense of justice but fights on the side of good because he really hates how shitty the future is.

Considered being selfish and just living the past but like... if he doesn't make sure the future is fine whose to say the present won't go to shit while he's living in it?

Isn't too good at reading others bad intentions yet refuses to follow his gut.

Related to the above, he likes to think things through but often times his lack of the above things makes his plans fall through.

Despite the two above things, he's actually a really great liar.

Doesn't take time to appreciate the beauty of nature but was still entranced upon seeing it for the first time after coming from a future with little plant life.

Rude and brash. Not afraid to speak his mind. Surprisingly, Espio has been able to get him to tone it down and help with the below.

Not a people person but acknowledges the strength in numbers Sonic and co brings.

About my tags on that "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" post I just reblogged: My Gravity Falls fic list at the moment is something I upkeep on a personal Discord server, originally so I could find them again later easier, and also because I didn't want to 'lose' them, I suppose. I thought of it as a list of my favorite fics, but it ended up just turning into fics I liked a lot in general or found otherwise noteworthy, rather than being my most favorites. I have marked out a relatively small section of my top favorites of all the favorites I've read, though, and a sort of secondary tier for my top favorites that aren't that high.

I have it organized into categories and subcategories and everything! It's actually gotten so long that I've deemed it no longer sustainable to keep organizing on Discord, so I started assembling a Google Doc for them. I've only gotten a few of the fics transferred over there from Discord though; it's kind of a tedious process and will take more time so I've been procrastinating, haha.

The categories and subcategories are as follows! Note that these can be pretty arbitrary, loose, and/or based on vibes, haha. Oh, and the overarching categories like "Sea Grunkles" and "Canon-Compliance / Mid-Canon" count as places for fics to be, too! They don't have to just be in the subcategories. For example, I have "Elemental" by Voidfish and "Saltwater" by interlude simply in the Canon-Compliance tab rather than being further organized into any of the subcategories since these fics are about moments across characters' lives, thus don't really sort into specific time periods particularly cleanly. "A Mariner's Guide to the Unexplained" by mariezies, "A Steady (Heart) Beat Goes 1, 2, 3, 4" by JackyRubou, and "Ever-newer Waters" by dorbee are all simply under Sea Grunkles since they're more about the Grunks in a general sense post-canon, or the situation they're dealing with isn't an Adventure, exactly, which is where I'd put them dealing with anomalies. There's a lot of overlap with categories and subcategories, so I think of them more as "what does the primary focus of the fic seem to be about" and focus on vibes. Like I said, arbitrary and loose! I haven't really read any Reverse Falls stuff yet, so I don't have a category for it, among other AUs I'm sure I'm missing. Billford - Pre-Betrayal - Post-Betrayal

Sea Grunkles - Adventures - At the Mystery Shack - Introspection / Repairing Bridges - Mental Health / Trauma - Amnesiac Stan-Related - Nightmares

Post-Canon - Bill's Theraprism - Post-Weirdmageddon Woes - Piedmont - Holidays - Amnesiac Stan-Related

Canon-Compliance / Mid-Canon - Summer 2012: Before Ford - Summer 2012: After Ford - Portal Era - Ford's Portal Adventures - Researcher & Mullet Pines 80's Era - Stan Twins Childhood

Canon Divergence - Summer 2012 - Portal Era - Researcher & Mullet Pines 80's Era - Stan Twins Childhood ----- Ford Leaves Home With Stan AU / Hobo Stans AU / Homeless AU ----- Stan Re-Enters Ford's Life during Backupsmore AU

(I should probably move those two into the misc. AUs section for consistency...?)

Portal-Related AUs - Portal Mabel / Drifting Stars ----- Relativity Stars AU ----- Grifting Stars AU - Portal Stans ----- Blind Faith AU ----- Bounty Hunter AU - Reverse Portal ----- Portal Stan - Other Portal AUs

Solar AU: So how does Hadou feel about Midoriya?

She would think he's neat! His QUirk is kind of like an inverse of hers in that it draws power externally, but he's also someone who can and would keep up with her in conversation

Permanent Roleplay Ad

Pen Name: Writer Age: 24 Currently: (Very Selectively) Accepting Age for RP Partner: 18+ Location: Discord/Google Docs/G-Mail Warning: I am very selective about this, please read the entire post.

All info that I figure is relevant has been posted under the cut. Enjoy!

Requirements

Literacy: Literate/Advanced Lit Size of Replies: 6-8 paragraphs per side, so a total of 12-16 paragraphs per reply. Anywhere from 3.5k chars to 8k chars per side, usually (500-1,000 words per side). This is my minimum. Genres: Romance, Adventure, Action, Fantasy Preferred Reply Speed: Anywhere from once a week to once a month. POV: Third Person, Past Tense. Fandom: My Hero Academia/Boku No Hero Academia Universe Type: Soulmate AU (more info later on) Where: Discord/E-Mail/Google Docs NSFW: I am happy portraying NSFW, but only between adult characters. I would like at least one NSFW scene for my side.

I will not accept adult x minor RPs. I am more than fine accepting CC x CC, OC x Canon, or SI x Canon from other parties.

I will not accept adult SIs that have been aged down to ship with teenagers.

The inverse holds true as well- I will not accept minor SIs that have been aged up to be with adults.

I can portray anyone for your OC (or canon if you want a CC x CC on your end), but do keep in mind that I only accept Toshinori Yagi as Finley Well's love interest. If you do not want to portray Toshinori Yagi for me in exchange for whoever on your side, please do not contact me.

Whether you prefer Discord. Google Docs, or E-Mail, I will be making a web of ways to talk to you. Bare minimum will be channels/E-Mail threads for: general OOC conversation, artwork and reference images, music we may want to send one another, character headcanons/info, plotting, specific in-universe details, planned events, filler ideas/little in-universe events, and another channel/thread for the roleplay itself.

Regardless of what you want to RP on (Discord, Google Docs, G-Mail), if you have a Discord, I will probably ask for it so I can at least set up an OOC space for us.

Please be alright with my side (YagiFin) being a quickburn. I don't want to portray any slowburns (that's- not really my style) but I'm more than fine to do medium burns, if it's preferred over a quickburn romance.

You must be capable of writing in complete English, with decent grammar and spelling. A mistake every now and then is fine, but text loaded with spelling/grammatical errors will not be accepted.

While it is not required, I'm a bit of a purple-prose writer- so I enjoy writing emotions and thoughts into my responses, as well as general scenery and the like. It would be nice if you could match this, though it is not required, if you're more of a technical writer. I do, however, wish you luck in somehow meeting the word minimum.

Initial Message

Please send me a writing sample early on. I will not move forward to making a server/handing out my E-Mail until I have read your writing sample.

Please send me the info listed below, I don't have a passcode, but if this is not sent I will not respond to you:

Pen Name: Age Range: Favorite Genre to RP: Least Favorite Genre to RP: Preferred Romance Speed (quickburn/mediumburn): Favorite MHA Character(s): Favorite Arc (if any): OC / OC Info (if applicable): Who you'd like me to portray for you (can be one character or a list): Timezone: Writing Sample:

Extra Stuff (That Fits Nowhere Else)

Another 'not required' but it is in this area since it fits nowhere else: it would be nice if our characters could root for each other! Whether it be your OC and Fin's being friends supporting the other's blossoming relationship, or other such things- I just find that kind of link between characters helps make the roleplay more fun!

Please be sure to read the Soulmate AU Info section in its entirety. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know- and if you can, please let me know early on if you have anywhere in particular you want the Words to be for your pairing, as well as what the Words are!

The RP will always start near the start of the MHA series. I like to RP through the series from the top, in each RP. I also enjoy incorporating each of the movies (as I can) into the RP, depending on how far I get.

Do note that I keep tabs on the timetables of the roleplay. I have my personal headcanons for when things happened (approximately) and some events can be moved around, but I do try to keep tabs on the timeline overall. I am not against meandering and messing around between major events (that's literally the bread and butter of the RP), in fact- I encourage it! Just know that (much like real life) time is a resource.

Note: My timezone is EST! Also, I will not be doing any RPs that are particularly angst-heavy, as that isn't my style. I prefer fluffy (lightly smutty too) romance, but I will do some angst (since fluff cannot exist in a vacuum). If you're here just to torture a couple, please contact someone else, that's not my jam.

Soulmate AU Info

The Soulmate AU I’ve crafted starts with one of the base ideas of a generic Soulmate AU - the first Words your soulmate will ever say to you (if you have any) are written somewhere on your body, in your soulmate’s native language and specific handwriting. These Words are pitch-black until spoken to the target, and once spoken, they will glow- until the target realizes who their Soulmate is. One cannot die until their Words have glowed at least once, so there are some who are incredibly reckless as a result. There are some who wander the world, their Words having been glowing for years- but with no idea as to who their Soulmate is.

The Words begin to feel as though they are burning if a Soulmate is in danger- it can range from a faint uncomfortable sensation to an intense agony, like one is being branded or cut through with a blazing knife (the strength of the burning sensation depends on the danger the Soulmate is in, with life-threatening being the most painful). Any injuries that occur to one’s Soulmate’s Words can be felt by the other person, on their Words. Words are also located in generally the same location, and Soulmates can be polycules or couples, or anything in between- and range from romantic to platonic.

Some actively seek out their Soulmate(s) for the sake of the power boost such a meeting offers. To meet your Soulmate is to have your stats suddenly see an increase- though it isn’t always the best. Heroes have been tied with Civilians. Villains have been tied with Heroes. Soulmates of powerful or important individuals (if an important individual has a Soulmate) have to be careful due to the target on their back, since if your Soulmate dies, so do you. It’s not an immediate death- but within the course of a month, if one’s Soulmate has died… They will wither away as well, the speed at which it occurs depending on their willpower, but none who have Soulmates survive beyond a month after their Soulmate’s death.

Sections of Hero Agencies have been dedicated to protecting Pro Heroes’ Soulmates, and kidnappings have been known to happen when a Villain finds their Soulmate. Civilian pairings are the safest- but by no means happen all the time. Some think the Words are a curse, but there is no way to remove them.

There are also some Quirks that are Soulmate-centric, and thus do not affect those without Soulmates.

Toshinori Yagi has spent years keeping All Might’s Soulmate tie a secret. He made sure his costume’s sleeves were long enough that no one would ever see the two simple Words written there- dodging questions about having a Soulmate every chance he could. He’d never met them, his Words were pitch-black… Two simple Words, in scratchy English: Oh, hi!

He could never let anyone know All Might had a Soulmate. The target that would be painted on such an individual… They would never survive.

Toshinori’s stat increase was that his timer as All Might doubled, and even after episode 49 of the anime/his fight with AfO, he can technically turn into All Might for a few minutes at a time- but his power is still greatly diminished. Diminished far too much for him to continue his work as a Hero, though it does help in split-second circumstances, if he burns through what few minutes he has in a momentary burst of strength.

Fin’s stat increase was a general increase to their strength, speed, and stamina to near superhuman levels- they can lift up to 550lbs after meeting All Might, and run up to 24mph (though it takes a little bit to get to that speed). Their Quirk remained as it was, with no noticeable increase- though at the time that Fin met Yagi, they didn’t know ‘Quirkless’ meant something a little more when it came to them.

Generally, when I RP in this AU, one of my first questions for others about their ships is: What Words they want their ship to have, and where. This helps immensely in setting up the starter.

NOTE: There is an alternate take on the Soulmate AU, which you can add somewhere in one of your early messages as 'Intense Soulmate AU', if you are interested/would prefer this variant. Soulmates (while they still have the Words and the boost and everything of the base AU), upon meeting their other half, are also able to feel a lowered version of their other half's emotions/physical pain from then on, instead of just being limited to feeling a burn when their soulmate is in danger/feeling pain inflicted upon the other half's Words.

trucs que je déteste que les gens fassent/disent

- les gens qui donnent des tapes sur l’épaule (plus tu sursautes fort mieux ils se sentent) - les gens qui disent au jour d’aujourd’hui ou malgré que (faut arrêter de suite, si vous n’arrivez pas à vous y faire faut contacter l’académie française) - les gens qui haussent le ton dans une conversation pour pour couvrir ta voix et avoir la parole (attends ton tour comme tout le monde) - les gens qui font des bruits de bouche (pas de commentaire) - les gens qui coupent la parole (attends ton tour aussi) - les gens qui racontent une histoire/blague mais sans faire de chute (quel est l’intérêt ?)  - les gens qui disent "hein” ou “quoi” quand ils ont pas entendu (ça ne m’a jamais donné envie de répéter) - les gens qui finissent leurs phrases par “ou quoi”: mais t’es bête ou quoi (si c’est tant une évidence que ça, t’as pas besoin de le relever) - les gens qui s’amusent à siffler avec leurs doigts (vous pensez que je peux me permettre de perdre de l’oui gratuitement comme ça ?)  - les gens qui continuent à applaudir quand tout le monde a arrêté parce que c’est marrant apparemment ?? (ça ne l’est pas) - les gens qui mettent pas leur main devant lorsqu’ils éternuent (si j’avais voulue être malade je me serais débrouillée autrement tu peux garder tes postillons)  - les gens qui disent “j’ai lu en diagonal” pour pas avouer qu’ils ont rien lu du tout - les gens qui te posent une question mais qui n’écoutent, ouvertement, pas la réponse (ne me la pose pas dans ce cas, ce sera un gain de temps précieux) - les gens qui vont courir aux heures chaudes et qui se plaignent d’avoir mal au crâne (sois plutôt reconnaissant de pas avoir fait une rupture d’anévrisme) - les gens qui disent “j’aurais pas aimé être à ta place” (en général c’est assez logique vu les contextes où cette phrase peut aller) - les gens qui utilisent une belle expression française mais se trompent (”mieux vaut tard que plus tard”, “pas vendre la peau de l’ours avant de l’avoir harponné”, “l’herbe est plus jaune ailleurs” c’est non)  - les gens qui sont sûrs d’eux quand ils disent une énorme connerie (c’est plus pour eux que pour moi) - les gens qui disent qu’ils préfèrent le goût des fruits/légumes surgelés (à moins que tu n’aies pas les moyens d’acheter du frais je ne suis pas en mesure de comprendre) - les gens qui disent oki doki (c’est mon unsafe word jsp pk) - les gens qui prennent jamais de position en disant toujours “si tu veux” même quand la réponse ne peut pas être autre chose que oui ou non (-on appelle les pompiers ? oh bah si tu veux- niquel) - les gens qui pensent vraiment que leur horoscope est une excuse au fait que ce sont des vrais cons (je trompe mon mec mais ça c’est parce que je suis taureau oups ihih) - les gens qui répondent “ça va et toi ?” lorsque tu dis ça va dans le sens c’est carré (la ponctuation est ton amie) - les gens qui se plaignent d’une douleur mais refusent de prendre un médicament (juste prends le médicament ou tais toi ou les deux c’est encore mieux) - les gens qui agrémentent leur phrase par “ma belle”(ya pas grand chose de plus méprisant que ces deux mots collés) - les gens qui disent “ya pas de souci” alors qu’il y en a clairement un (juste parle fr) - les gens qui font la distinction entre les collègues, les connaissances, et les je le.la connais de vue (c’est pour se compliquer la vie ou à ce stade ya vraiment une diff ?) - les gens qui disent concubin et pas partenaire (j’aime pas ce mot, peut-être parce qu’il y a con et cu juxtaposés) - les gens qui disent “tant que toi ça va, moi ça va” (c’est connu, on va bien parce que les gens autour de nous vont bien ou inversement) - les gens qui commencent leur phrase par “bah” (ça me donne l’impression que j’étais censée savoir) - les gens qui disent trop bon trop con (t’es juste en train de laisser croire aux personnes les plus crédules qu’être gentil est finalement un défaut qui donne raison aux mauvais comportements) à suivre

Oooooh what a kind offer! What about this gorgeous bit:

They turned the project in and won a prize. They split it 50/50 and went to the Hob to celebrate. She watched him drink unlabelled liquor out of a clouded glass and imagined a flute of champagne between his fingers.

Halfway through a quart they started to talk. About things outside of the lecture hall, university, work. He could’ve told her about his dad then, but he didn’t. Maybe she should’ve taken the first step, spoken about her parents, their grave-shaped absence in her life growing up. But she didn’t, either.

It was later—all that. Later. After the project was turned in and they won their prize and they got drunk off cheap whiskey and stumbled back to his house. After he sat in the wingback chair in front of the fire and she sang him a song, her voice tobacco-stained and a little tired, and he looked at her like she’d pulled the sun out of her throat. Handed it to him on an open palm.

It was later, right, when they’d gone to bed and he’d lied about how many houses his father owned (but not how many sons he had, never that, never that) and woke up with his face against her chest. It was then, his lips ghosting the scalloped lines of her ribcage, that he told her. That she told him.

Dead, both of them dead, and they little babes left in the burial dirt.

from my first snowbaird fic, chokecherry—a modern au where Lucy & Coriolanus meet at college/university & sort of glide, descend, fall semi-elegantly into a darkly-edged, toxically co-dependent kind of dynamic after being paired for a rhetoric project. I had a v specific setting & mood in mind for this story: a big, echoey house in the middle of a dark city, & early on an entrenched sense of separation between the two worlds the two characters inhabit; it’s almost a quest to get to the brownstone, it’s almost a castle set above the city she’s just been driven through, & we don’t even get a glimmer of the place she’s been fetched from, it’s just “other,” it’s just far enough away that we forget about it by the next sentence.

this idea of separation is threaded into this section; the Hob (refashioned in this au as a dive bar) isn’t Coryo’s natural territory, but he has followed Lucy here nonetheless—an inversion to how it begins, the fetcher & the fetched, with the roles continually intermixed—& this is him kind of “dressing up” as what he thinks he should be in this space, what he thinks she might want him to be here, buzzcut, cheap beer, bruised knuckles, whatever the fuck; despite the effort, however, it’s clear to both of them where he really belongs, who he really is: embodied by the swapping of his whiskey glass to a champagne flute in Lucy’s mind.

on that note, I love playing with beverages in fic (something @thistle-and-thorn can well attest to from past feverish comment exchanges & conversations, ly 🫶🏼) & I liked placing a juxtaposition here between the undrunk beer bottle he plays with during their first “meeting” in his house v. now necking homemade whiskey from a dirty glass at this celebratory jaunt till they’re both drunk & back at the brownstone where it began, where it’ll always go back to—there’s a sense here between them of being on the right side of sloppy drunk where you’re cut a little looser & able to chisel away at a few hard-won layers but you’re sloppy drunk, right, so you’re also distracted, you’re singing, you’re sitting, you’re forgetting why/how you even got drunk in the first place, what layers are being unpicked—so it’s not till things are in the post-sex quiet that you start spilling secrets, the secret, & it’s hazy in this fic as to when exactly this night is taking place contextually, all that’s clear are the bare bones of the setting, the telling: his bed, his mouth, her ribcage—breathing his heart into the little bird-beat of her chest, if you will, & then the final line of this section is a neat epitome of a tenet of what bonds them in this fic, & perhaps in the larger sprawl of canon verse: dead, both of them dead, and they little babes left in the burial dirt.

& it’s sharp, it’s almost sobering: it’s the sort of thought that cuts across your mind when sloppy drunk ebbs to scathingly conscious for that minute you’re looking at yourself in the bathroom mirror, or the millisecond you’re aware you are in bed just before you crash—this awareness they’re both orphaned, unattached in the most basic sense, spiralling alone except for each other, & it’s that idea of being known, isn’t it, that terrifying sensation of showing, being shown, knowing, being known: the inescapable inevitability of it all—just like the brownstone, & what happens between them inside it.
