Happy Tuesday, Black Sails Nation!

As was requested by @billie-bones, I’ve listened back through 18 hours of interviews and compiled a list of every fic mentioned on the podcast.

This list is categorized by episode and includes ratings and summaries, as well as direct links to the fics, themselves. I’ll tag as many authors as I can, but I may not know the tumblr accounts for everyone. If you see someone who’s fics are referenced and you don’t see them tagged and happen to know their handle on here, you may want to send this on to them, that way they know which episode they’re mentioned in and can listen to hear the fic discussed if they so choose.

Some fics got multiple mentions across several episodes and so, to streamline, I’ve listed them only under the first episode in which they are mentioned, so there are no duplicate listings.

Edit: This will be a living document, updated with each new episode with any new fic recommendations. If you’re an upcoming guest and want to compile your top 5 and prefer to mention fics that haven’t been mentioned before, this list will be a valuable resource to cross-reference.

I want to thank my dear @tiofrean, partner in crime and all-around badass extraordinaire, for taking my bare bones list of titles, authors, and links, and filling them out with summaries and all the details you may want to know before committing to a fic. She also broke down every series referenced into its individual parts, since ratings and details will change throughout a particular series. She did this without me requesting it because she’s simply that awesome. Not only has she donated cover art commissions for several episodes, including the upcoming-coming Episode 13, but she helped with this project, which took several days, just for that part, out of the goodness of her heart. You sincerely fucking rock!

And without further ado, here is the Reading Between the Lines Podcast: Fic rec Masterlist!

Once again, if you don’t see your friend’s account tagged and they are on this list, please tag them or send this to them.

Sincerest thanks to all of our listeners! When you listen to the podcast, you’re supporting so so many people in this fandom!

In reference to this post I was tagged in by @jadedbirch, regarding political discussions about War of Faith.

This is ground I've already covered years ago, so I'll link to those posts. Ultimately everyone gets to decide to what degree they want to confront the politics of a situation, but they definitely don't get to dictate how others approach such things, or to shame them or make it seem disloyal, culturally inappropriate or wrong to critique the politics inherent in what is an intentionally propagandistic drama.

A fairly comprehensive post about politics in fandom where I break down all the ways in which trying to shut down political discussions in fandom is not OK.

A fairly comprehensive discussion about false equivalence when comparing the political climate of China vs the West.

I have a lot of other posts about these topics, many of which can be found under my sociopolitical analysis tag. If anyone has specific questions about these topics feel free to add them in the notes, or message me or send in an ask and I'll address them when I get a chance.

A post about how I reconcile myself politically as a fan of GGDD.

I also recommend reading Pie's post about these types of issues because it is incredibly detailed and gives a very clear picture of the stakes of propaganda in China.

No one has any rationale for bitching about my coverage of these kinds of topics, since I tag everything. People who want to avoid these topics can simply filter, "your poltical disengagement is a weapon against you."

Fic Word Meme

Rules: you will be given a word. Then you share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that starts with each letter of your word!

I was tagged by @bbcphile who gave the word HISTORY with a backup word of FORTUNE and I was having fun, so I did both. XD

All sentences are from my long canon divergent Mysterious Lotus Casebook fic and are mostly not even vaguely in chronological order. ^_^

HISTORY

H: He'd come on like the storm: fast, furious, and unforgiving.

I: If this was what Xiangyi needed, if this was what it took to convince him that Di Feisheng had not committed this latest in the string of atrocities he had been accused of, then so be it.

S: Stepping forwards, he placed a firm hand on Li Xiangyi's shoulder and pitched so low that only he would hear, said, "You will not do this."

T: The old endearment tumbled from his lips before he'd even thought it through, and it rang in the air between them, a lightning flash of memory on its coattails. 

O: Only the smallest stream [of Yangzhouman] remained behind, circulating through Li Xiangyi's heart meridian, protecting the only ground they had managed to save.

R: Rather than answer with words, Li Xiangyi answered with force. 

Y: "You cannot prevent me from living the life I choose, especially as you are responsible for the fact that I can live it at all."

FORTUNE

F: For a moment, Li Lianhua could taste the sea, the salt burn of it across his cold-chapped lips, before that too was gone.

O: Once they were well out of sight of even the most far-sighted of Tianji Hall's watchtowers, Di Feisheng reached for Li Lianhua's arm and said quietly, "Let me help you."

R: Releasing his grip on Li Xiangyi's neck, Di Feisheng sat back.  "I never imagined myself a hero."

T: Three hours later, with a sinking certainty that one determined fool could, in fact, have gotten much further in his condition than he should have been able to, Di Feisheng was nearly ready to admit defeat and change tactics. 

U: "Unless, of course, the rumors are true, and you would prefer to see him dead before sunset?"

N: "Now that I've caught you, don't make me chase you any further."

E: Even deep in the bowels of the Di Fortress, Di Feisheng had never felt fear like he had seeing the telltale signs of the world's deadliest poison on Li Xiangyi's body.

And I'm going to tag (and only if you want to!): @sephstones, @zoi-no-miko, @jadedbirch, @momosandlemonsoda, @fixaidea, @qilingxiong, @lizardrosen, and as usual, anyone who sees this and wants to do it, please consider yourself tagged, too! I've lost track of who's actively writing something right now.

Anyway, your word is: FORESTRY and your backup word is BRANDISH if the first doesn't work for you. ^_^

for @jadedbirch Happy Birthday!

everyone should read El's fabulous fic Rambutan by ElDiablito_SF For six years, Lan Xichen has lived in self-imposed exile in Singapore. But when he hears that his Didi is in a stable relationship with Jiang Wanyin, he decides it is finally time to come home.

Not to break them up or anything. Nope, definitely not to do anything like that.

Long Night in Longwood by ElDiablito_SF

Long Night in Longwood

by ElDiablito_SF

M, 13, Wangxian

Summary: For three years, Marshal Lan "The Swan" Zhan and Marshal Jiang "JC" Cheng have been scouring the country for Wei Wuxian, who'd done a runner from Chicago after causing a fracas. Could it be they finally found… him???

Mojo's comments: Aww, this was delightfully absurd, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Also, the included artwork is fantastic. Also, also: Old Shitface Yao the saloon owner is going to nourish me for a week.

Excerpt: “Well, I’ll say,” JC mumbled, looking askance at the singer and the corpse of the former proprietor of the saloon. “The crowd was getting restless and I came back here to see how you were getting on. And what do I find? A corpse, and the two of you in a prelude to the carnal embrace. What about your undying love for Wei Wuxian, huh?” “Who’s Wei Wuxian?” The Red Lotus looked momentarily scandalized. “That your girlfriend, sweetie? I should’ve known a handsome cad like you would be taken.” “It’s not…” Lan Zhan stammered a bit helplessly. “I’m not…” “What? Taken?” the Red Lotus asked with a sly grin. “Handsome,” JC cut in, throwing Lan Zhan a rather judgmental look. “Look, it’s…” Again, Lan Zhan found himself at a loss for words. “It’s all rather complicated. But in any case, you don’t know that name, then?” “Who, darling?” “Wei Ying.” “Who’s that, baby?” “Wei Wuxian,” JC cut in again. “Well, which is it, I haven’t got all night,” the singer declared as she turned towards her vanity and fixed the locks of the crimson wig around her sharp cheekbones. “It’s the same man!” JC replied, growing visibly irritated. “Oh! It’s a man! Well, why didn’t you say so before, darling? Here I was all getting worked up and jealous.” She looked back over her shoulder and threw a playful wink in Lan Zhan’s direction.

Hi RBS!

I have an unusual question but it's relevant to our boys and I'd love to hear your thoughts! I just reread The Little Prince for the first time since childhood. And it was just as heartbreaking and depressing as I remembered it. 😭😭😭

My question for you is, what do you think it is about this story that draws DDGG to it? I'm not imagining that they've both said before that they love it, right? And I feel like they've both referenced it before separately. Or am I getting fannon and cannon confused? 🤣🙏🏻💗

Hey @jadedbirch!

Funny you should ask this particular question, because I have had a along post about them and the Little Prince in my drafts for months and months, probably over a year now (from whenever The Little Prince last came up in the fandom), and with DD's recent Little Prince photo shoot I've had a mind to finally finish it and post it.

I was going to do it today but I have been so busy. My hope is to get it done sometime in the next few days. 🙏🏻

I agree, the story is pretty bittersweet. More when I get the post finished. 😅

Yeah, May of last year. I'm so slow. 😅

Edit: You can find the post here.

[serinmatheson1]

So despite my name not, in fact, being Serin Matheson, that is what I go by on like all social media platforms. And its to the point that I fully believe some days that my name *is* Serin Matheson.

I had a co worker adding my number to her phone and she goes "oh by the way, how do you pronounce your last name?" And my first thought was "theres only one way to pronounce Matheson". And I had to remind myself, no bitch that is not your last name. You're just obsessed with a TV show that ended over a decade ago. She means your legal last name.

I eventually told her but the silence was a little awkward as I tried to remember who I was
