#lifechanging fic and i mean it

[shellshocklove]

ok WOW!!!!! i just finished reading this for the first time and i'm speechless! i started reading this way too late, thinking i'd read one chapter before bed just to check it out. fast forward five chapters it was, and i'm not kidding 06.30am, and i was in a concerning "only one more chapter and i'll go to bed"-situation. anyways i fell asleep, woke up way too few hours later still thinking about these two, and thinking of them i did until i finally could read the rest before bed.

your writing is so beautiful! lots and lots of beautiful sentences and smart description. it's so clear you have a love for reading, and know your stuff when it comes to literature and mythology. in one of the warnings you said this story was self-indulgent and there is nothing better than a self-indulgent story. you so clearly put your heart and soul into this, and it's so lovely to read. it makes me so happy bc that joy shines through, hiding between the lines.

reading this felt like when i read "the secret history" for the first time. i couldn't put that book down either. i saw you reference it in this series, and i knew i was right in my feeling of this story. in a way it felt catered to my interests. like in the last part where you included joni. and as someone with a joni mitchell url (and someone who's had a joel story inspired by "for the roses" on the wip backburner for a while now), she's a big inspiration to me and i love her music. when you directly mentioned my favorite song on blue "the last time i saw richard" and the line "all romantics meet the same fate someday" i knew i was gonna be in my feelings later 😭

the story arc you've put them through has been delicious to read. the perfect balance between hot and filthy smut, and feelings that made my heart ache in the best way (and i mean. i've stopped and read a paragraph again bc i needed to really feel it in my chest). you've written the impending doom and tragedy of their relationship so well. it's hidden in every part, blowing air into a balloon ready to pop at any minute. the push and pull of the early chapters, of the "we shouldn't be doing this" to the "i can't quit you" (<- also a brokeback mountain reference or am i trippin'?).

the chapters in new york i think are my favorite. the freedom they had there to explore their blooming relationship, but again also the tragedy of how they could only be free there with no hiding :(( i knew it was coming in the last chapter. when rachel's advances got turned down by joel in new york i knew it was gonna be her that caught them. that last line broke me </3 idk i'm hoping rachel and joel's pre-existing relationship can help this in any way. rachel is hurt, but could she do that to joel? could she do that to the man she loves, even if he loves another? maybe the tragedy is that her love for him is what dooms his and reader's relationship </3

anyway, long story short, i loved this very very much! you have a gift for writing, and i'm so happy you wrote this! thank you!! <3

most unfortunate thing ive learned about getting into jr.wi is the overlap with genlo.ssers

[isalisewrites]

ive been reading terrible but great since 2021 ive been reading tomarry since i was like 12 reading fates favorite. i dont rly interact bc my main fandom and presence is so far apart that my little circle deeefinitely doesnt gaf abt tomarry or hp and wld in fact be scandalized . so i was really regretting that i dont have anyone to cry to about how spectacular and lifechanging that was and then i guessed i cld jst anon u since thats a thing.

ur a hero. just the exact, perfect, seriously right amount of lead up because if there was more i really wld snap under the pressure of tom being too thick because then it wld just piss me off instead i was spellbound. u provided a genuine .. i swear masterpiece u were providing like a parent oh wow ..... like how people want sweet treats every now and then i never had to go searching. its 1 am for me and ive had sadly late nights this last few weeks since winter break began and it happened the other day that it was 5 am and i had two beautiful long chapters of terrible but great waiting for me when i woke up. and when i tell u oooooooooooh god i sobbed like a fucking baby last night reading that. harrys heartbreak my god. my goodness. this kind of emotional turmoil probably doesnt exist so far at this extent in any other tomarry im following. that doesnt matter i wont need it because wow. truly incredible.

hes finally a bit. understanding of himself. he knows hes in love now. wow . i am a small puddle

oh and how i cried for voldemorts passing. u have no clue like i had snot all down my throat i was under my blanket like i was twelve again or something. seriously i cried because not only did u craft that so excellently but i was as attached to him as harry is . because i care so much for every little thing in this story because ive practically grown a bit with it . wow its 2025 now you know. 47 minutes since the clock went 12. so its been four years of your writing this piece anyway and ive been blessed. so thankyou i cant share my overwhelmed incandescent happiness with anyone else in the world at all sadly tragically its my own fault anyways for not tomarrying right. but its personal for me so i dont mind that im only sharing it with u. thankyou so so much.

and my favorite thing ever in this fic besides their bitchfight and toms revelation that harry is his own personal dr who is probably fleamont potter god bless him may he marry euphemia and harry officiates or at least flowerboys for him. praise the lord and isalise for this fleamont and euphemia.......... they bring me SOOOOO MUCH FUCKING JOY wow. im gonna go reread all the fleamont moments. and then im probably gonna reread the last chapter. and then im Prrooobably gonna get it tattoed on my chest. have a good one isalise u absolute unit

FATE’S FAVOURITE NAME DROP.

Fate’s Favourite and Past’s Player are some of my foundational Tom/Harry stories, even though they’re platonic in this series. There’s a fight in Past’s Player that was the spark of my desire for a huge duel to the death, aka The Twink Fight, for Terrible, But Great. I love the fight in Past’s Player, how Tom drugs Harry for information and the two of them have a feral fight. But my story, I wanted something immense.

After all these years, I still remember my favorite line from Fate’s Favourite.

“You have very pretty eyes… They’d look good in my collection.���

Zevi Prince was the reason I wanted Quintus Prince to exist.

you belong to me (i belong to you) sparked the idea of a more complex relationship between Harry and Death in Terrible, But Great. I adore Harry in this fic so very much.

So many others were foundational fics for me. 

DMAY

Of Your Making

A Dangerous Game

No Glory

A Dangerous Game and No Glory were trigger fics, as were Fate’s Favourite and Past’s Player. What I mean by that is they were a catalyst in pushing me to write Terrible, But Great. Let me be EXCEPTIONALLY clear: they are all beautifully written and exactly what they need to be in terms of the story they’re trying to tell. They are S Tier stories and truly beloved.

But they weren’t what I was looking for exactly in a Tomarry story.

They scratched a few itches, but not all of them. (I actually have another idea for a Harry/Voldemort fic that was triggered/inspired by If Paths Diverge, but I'm not writing that idea at this time.) I needed something else. Honestly, these kinds of fics are the best because they’re always the source of creating something else. These types of fics are so vital to fandom life in all other fandoms, too.

I wanted a Harry who was equal to Tom, who challenged him. I wanted a Harry who stood up to Tom. I wanted a Harry who was still a Gryffindor, who was still self sacrificing, but also gave into his shadow side for Tom. As Harry grows a little darker, Tom grows a little lighter. (One of my favorite shounen ai manga does this. No.6)  I’d read so many fics where Harry was always giving something up for Tom/Voldemort, while Tom/Voldemort never did. Harry was always sacrificing something and Tom was always taking. The inequality grew to hurt too much. I wanted to see a Tom/Voldemort so very smitten, so very much in love that he would do anything for his Harry.

I got a comment on chapter 52 complaining about TBG Harry losing his spine and conviction, that the two of them didn’t feel like equals anymore.

Chapter 53 completely shows otherwise. Tom is willing to do anything for Harry in return. Tom is willing to sacrifice one of his greatest desires, finding out his heritage in the Chamber of Secrets, for Harry. They are equals. Terrible, But Great is a story of sacrifice, but from both of them.

The emotions of Harry realizing he’d do anything for Tom, even stay at his side while he spirals downward is a scary, sobering realization to have. It’s terrifying. He’d have to watch Tom lose himself. Though he’d stay at Tom’s side, he would inevitably watch Tom spiritually die right before his very eyes.

I was crying a ton while editing chapter 52, especially when I added the sections of Tom’s dialogue from previous chapters. UGH, MY HEART. I’m so glad those emotions carried across to you. That’s truly what I wanted. I wanted heartbreak in the most perfect way, one where it was okay in the end.

Thank you so very much for sharing your love of Terrible, But Great with me. It fills my heart so much. I can’t wait to continue on with Arc Three and beyond, to have you all share in more powerful emotions with me. Those boys still have a lot to learn.  And don’t worry, we’ll get to see more of Monty and Effie soon. You can look forward to a lot of growth for Harry and Tom in Arc Three and, yes, in Arc Four as well.

Badass waterbender Yue

Jealous Azula

Sokka's bisexual crisis (TWO badass royals? He's dead)

Zuko being a terrible mentor

Azula's general badassery

[seaweedbraens]

oh my god okay so i came across we could walk through hell when like. around when the hazel and frank appeared?? (i dont remmeber which chapter) and ive been saving it up for a looong while and then i finished the whole 10 chapters in a day. i have no words to describe how much i adore this fic. its not a fic anymore—its a whole world. yknow when they say books can take you anywhere or something along those lines? yeah. this was it.

anyway im not here to rant about how good and how lifechanging the fic was. since aug 18 is stilk quite a while away and im very very bad at staying Normal after reading such masterpieces, do you have any fics that partially inspired wcwth/any fics that you just like to recommend? i finished wcwth and read all of the rest of your fics immediately after, so do you have any fic recs?

thank you, anon!!! that means the world to me :)

so what inspired me was actual canon not inspiring me, so i might not be too much help with recs. unfortunately, i haven't read too much pjo fic that's very plotty, but i've heard nothing but good things about son of the sea foam by caffeinatedflumadiddle and works by combattombat. greenconverses is also an absolute legend. my friend @glove23 also recently wrote a royalty au that's got plot and it's soooooooooooooooo good.

the most plot-heavy fics i've read are from miraculous - you can check my bookmarks on ao3 if you wanna find them, but if you're into the show at all i'd 100% recommend reading because they're SO good.

i dont read too much pjo, so if anyone else sees this feel free to drop some recs for anon (and me) in the replies!

[munchausensexdrome]

It is objectively kind of insane to still be like posting about [shipname] but like not my fault that I read a lifechanging fic that stands up to this day. But I mean I've been talking to myself for weeks about a fake character I made up so is anything even embarrassing anymore. Not my fault a character with 5 minutes of cumulative screentime across two movies is really good.

[cuddlytogas]

MUSLIM COSETTE I’M SCREAMING

I LOVE YOUR FIC SOOOOOO MUCH

SAME ANON AS BEFORE YOUR FIC IS LITERALLY LIFECHANGING - LIKE I’VE BEEN SAYING THE USYD COHORT (SPECIFICALLY FOR THE COURSES I WANT) ARE SUPER PRETENTIOUS BUT WHAT DOES THAT MATTER IF I CAN BECOME A LES MIS REFERENCE

sdjfgahsdfjkghaldfkgnadfkha THANK YOU OMG??????? <33333333333

unfortunately, you know what this means, right? and i think you've known it in your heart all along. les amis are........ also kinda pretentious........... UnU

anyway, i had a great time at usyd, but that was for my specific courses and also a decade ago, so lmao that doesn't help. i know it's even more of a capitalist hellscape now, but tbh, what university isn't? 🙃

[fearandhatred]

🍓❄️🦋?

🍓: how did you get into writing fanfiction? 

i watched the sandman bonus episode which was lifechanging and i was also really sick and i just spat out a really short fic half unconscious loll. lowkey one of my best works

i have had ideas before in the past but the most i did was write a few paragraphs. i never came even remotely close to finishing a fic before this

❄️: what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

i am a simple woman my absolute favourite thing to read is generic hurt/comfort where character A wrongs character B (but not in a really bad or irreversible way) and B is really sad/hurt and A apologises LMAOOO. i don't have an author in mind who would write it best but i have read some really good fics with this in other fandoms

🦋: share something that has been on your heart and mind lately

not you making me think lol i have not been thinking much recently because i'm on break and it has eaten away at my brain. but since i've been bingeing the breaking bad franchise for the past month or so one thing i've been thinking is how money really is the root of every single problem ever. "money doesn't buy happiness" whatever u say..... every single thing that the main characters have done in brba and bcs was for money. i mean we have known that capitalism IS inherently inequality etc. etc. and in sociology we do study that further but it's still an insane system if you think about it objectively. anyway if you ever hear me say "karl marx was right" (which i say very often) even if it's jokingly just know i actually mean it from the bottom of my heart

ask game

[one-blaze-of--glory]

literally every single question for fuckin zombie saga and/or &j idk if it's meant to be specific to a fandom but whatever

for &j

list 3 positive things about your current fandom(s)

clever writing, great characters, banger music

a headcanon you weren't sure about at first but have come to like!

yeah trans Romeo as well

a character that fandom has helped you appreciate

Romeo, i liked him before too but i mean i think we really made him more better

say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)

hmm tough. i guess Anne and Angelique could work. like in another universe. love gay people.

something you see in fics a lot and love

i mostly read your fics and you write maycois dialogue so arorably

something you see in art a lot and love

shapes. &j fanart always has fun shapes somehow

your favorite tropes to read/write/draw

this is going into zombie saga territory but if focused specifically on &j uhh i love to write Frankie being soscared because i mean he always is

you hope more people will come to appreciate ___ (a ship, a trope, an episode, etc)

hmm idk. just like the show in general. if i were to say something specific i guess Anne, she's kind of the hidden main character to me this has nothing to do with my Betsy bias /hj

a ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy

langelique. I'm very casual about them

a blog (mutual or one you follow) that has made your fandom experience brighter

well. yours. also just like the rp blogs

if you're a writer or artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?

all of it, duh. for non saga because I'll get to saga after these, the one where i drew Juliet and May in those them coded clothes

compliment someone else in your fandom

you! you're the amperstan ever

the ship that always makes you smile

maycois and jumeo, they cute

the character that always makes you smile

like all of them? but i guess I'll day Frankie rn

a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate

okay not to be negative in the positivity asks but i want more people to do the opposite of appreciate for the ue ue ue ue you KNOW what I'm talking about. no one else talks about it.

the thing in canon that everyone loves and that you also love

the "it's super dope" quote let's be real we all say it all the time now

the fandom friend you've known the longest

of &j definitely you

how has fandom positively impacted your life?

honestly it's seeing it live that did most. it was lifechanging

and now for saga in general:

list 3 positive things about your current fandom(s)

it keeps my creative thinking active at all times, it's deliciously angsty and it's so self indulgent

a headcanon you weren't sure about at first but have come to like!

like saga related? i guess in brighter timeline Del's whole arc. I'm glad we did that now because the character exploration of it is very fun. also lesbitaly (it really grew on me)

a character that fandom has helped you appreciate

i feel like all of these characters grew so much more on me than ever before. special shoutout to Fletcher for being lifted higher on my list of characters i care about

say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)

is there any valid saga ship i don't personally ship? i doubt it

something you see in fics a lot and love

well these are our fics. Caroline's continuous agonies though. love torturing my fave

something you see in art a lot and love

there's barely any saga fanart so the mere existence of it

your favorite tropes to read/write/draw

i love writing conflicts that are not even zombie related it's just people being mad at each other it's fun

you hope more people will come to appreciate ___ (a ship, a trope, an episode, etc)

maroline!! I'm spreading so much maroline propaganda all of you are obligated to like it now

a ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy

delbed and lesbitaly. I'm casual about both (still love them)

if you're a writer or artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?

weirdly it's all my most fucked up chapters. the one where zombie Richard killed Frankie. the one where Caroline killed Frank. the latest opposite deaths I wrote

compliment someone else in your fandom

i have to say you, this whole series wouldn't exist if it wasn't for you

the ship that always makes you smile

at the end of the day it'll always come back to richaline in brighter timeline. as much as i love these other ships for them

the character that always makes you smile

Caroline, Mary, Richard, italiAnnie in the timelines they're in. at the end of the day you can always tell I'm biased towards them

a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate

the fact that I've referenced a Betsy Wolfe character in my last chapter for every timeline. also that I've been putting Harmony references all over the place especially in brighter timeline. you could miss some of them

the thing in canon that everyone loves and that you also love

just. all the angst

how has fandom positively impacted your life?

i feel like I've explored my favorite pieces of media in a unique new way through the saga and it keeps productive and creative which is important to me

[mephsation]

i just finished your fic 'wicked games' and it seriously may be the best fic ive ever read. lifechanging, breathtaking, stunning, incredibly well-written. im sure you hear it all the time but you deserve all the praise! gonna go read all your other bfu/watcher fics now lol

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Means a lot to me

[brick-a-doodle-do]

questions for you here they be, answers I ask please give to me!

8. have you had water today?

12. favorite tv commercial?

15. what’s the weirdest thing that’s happened to you?

22. do you have a collection of cool rocks?

23. five words that describe you?

39. is there wise words you live by?

45. favorite tea?

50. is there a fic you're dying for a continuation of but know probably won't get one?

Enjoyeth Bricticus! <3

mmmm props to you adding the questions <33 (i'm guilty of not doing that but it's a relieving gesture eueu)

8 : have you had water today?

yes! like 2-4 bottles ,,,,,

12 : favorite tv commercial?

mmm i can't really remember any off of the top of my head but one of my favorites, i don't know if it technically counts cause it isn't really real, but the ad that plays at the beginning of m3gan that's advertising those toys. "i had a dog he was my best friend but he grew old and died and now i'm alone again" like WHAT it was so absolutely random LMFAO,,, and when i first saw it i didn't realize it was part of the movie and thought it was a genuine ad sdfhfdb,,,

and if that doesn't count than any liberty mutual ads. i like singing the jingle at the end ,,,

15 : what's the weirdest thing that's happened to you

oh boy. um. i can't pinpoint the weirdest because there's been some weird ass stuff but i remember one time when i was living in vegas, there were these people in paw patrol costumes (like full unlicensed character ones like the ones in times square but more legit) and one started barking at me. vegas is a troubling place

22 : do you have a collection of cool rocks?

I DO !!!! me and my mom love rock hounding and we have a special box for them ! i have absolutely no idea where it is but it exists !! i also try to get a rock from every cool place i go. rocks for the WINN

23 : five words that describe you

this is my primary school selves biggest nightmare. ahhh becky i can't specifically say anything but irl i have adopted the personality of technoblade, quackity, gnf, and tommy so that might have some pointers eueueu

39 : is there wise words you live by?

not exactly. i usually tell myself "don't look for what you don't want to find" in situations i don't really like but other than that i don't have any cool lifechanging mantras 😔

45 : favorite tea?

i am not a tea drinker nor a coffee drinker, i do not see the appeal. but if i had to say i'd go with the basic chai vjsfd

50 : is there a fic you're dying for a continuation of but know probably won't get one?

ah, yes. definitely. i don't want to point fingers and make people feel bad on the very low chance that they see it, but there's two i'm thinking of, one that's t!sapnap and one that's t!dream but they left it on a CLIFFHANGER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i get switching fandoms and stuff but ahHDVGFVFGSHFHAFSDV

ask game !!

if i come off as rude in this i promise i don't mean to,,,, for some reason i feel like my responses were pissy, i assure that was not my intention 😭🙏

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

ari! i just wanted to say i love your writing so so much! like it's sooo beautiful and yum yum to read, like the way that you use words is soo good 🙇🏾 for example, the yan!gojo fic was bloody good. it's literally lifechanging. I'm obsessed with the way you characterized him

"you, you, you. the only thing that exists."

"satoru smiles. he is proud of you. and this is exactly how it should be. he’s just bending the world into its rightful shape, cutting strings from a wrongly woven web, righting the wrongs of the people around you."

"so his only option is to bend the world into a kinder shape — twist and mold until it forms a path good enough for you to follow."

"satoru would never cage you in. never, never, never. he wants you to enjoy your life — confining you wouldn’t do any good, would only stifle that pretty smile he loves so dearly. he wants your world to be large, brimming with life, blooming with fervor, wants the air to be clear enough for your beautiful lungs. he couldn’t build a world for you, here, in this apartment. no matter how big or luxurious."

LIKE HELLOOO!??! SO SO GOOD OMFG

oh, and the suguru angst fic where he's the reader's childhood friend made me CRY like it was so bloody heartwrenching

"and, contrary to everyone else, you don’t think there’s anything wrong with him. when you tell him that he’s different from the rest, you mean it in the best possible way. you say it with starlight in your eyes, gleeful, giddy. like he’s special, not broken. like you’re also tired of those other kids, those sneering adults, the silence of a town so isolated it could crush a child’s heart."

"(when he’s with you, he feels like it, though. feels like he’s just a normal boy, like there isn’t something glued down wrong inside his brain. something twisted, something that needs to be plucked out.)"

"i’ll support you, no matter what. 

the instantaneous answer makes suguru smile. not the kind of smile he plasters on to appease the adults around him, nor the smile he wears when he needs to lie convincingly. a full, genuine smile, that reaches his eyes and blossoms like a flower in the light of the moon; a warm, gentle smile, one you’ll always, always associate with him."

"it’s embarrassing. it’s childish. suguru wants to claim that he isn’t a child, anymore; that he wouldn’t give in to hesitation, at the sight of your meek expression. that he wouldn’t cry, at the thought of moving away from his best friend."

he asks you not to forget him. you laugh through your tears, and tell him that you never could.

before he has to let go and step into the train, you tell him that you love him, and his grin blooms with honeyed affection. he ruffles your hair, always gentle, always teasing, always the same suguru.

he tells you that he loves you, too.

— then he’s gone.

(you’ll forever regret not convincing him to stay.)

LIKE 🧍🏾‍♀️ my heart was aching..

"and the moment before the last flicker of light leaves his eyes, suguru chooses to think of you.

he thinks of your smile, the way your lips curled up at even the smallest things. he thinks of your curiosity, how it always lead him back to you. he thinks of what could have been.

he thinks of that question you asked him, all those years ago — how accepted it made him feel. that sensation of being understood. suguru thinks you saved his life, that day.

(he never got to thank you for it.)

you were his childhood friend. his nearest, dearest, oldest one. 

suguru doesn't believe the world he lives in is kind enough to allow him a second chance. and he doesn't think he really deserves one, either way.

but if there is a next life, if he’s lucky enough to be reborn —

then suguru hopes he’ll be born as a dragonfly, so he can find his way back to you.

he’ll meet you, again; in the afterglow of sunset, by that dusty, forgotten, tiny summer creek. framed by silver-hued fish and cicadas, and the silence of a town that glimmered while you were both in it.

he won’t be able to wipe your tears away, won’t be able to clean the bruise on your knee — but he can be with you. and maybe, in your next lives, that’ll be enough.

(what a lovely thought.)

suguru smiles, and lets a final breath of air course through his burning lungs.

— it tastes like summer."

so beautiful. ari, you are such a phenomenal writer like the EMOTIONS i went through reading this fic were a lot. your works are so amazing ☹️

ah!!!! anon!!!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺 i can’t tell u how sweet this was to read and how much it means to me… i’m so overjoyed that u liked these fics :’3 somehow u managed to pick out the two fics i’m most insecure about LMAO so it really means so much!! and the lines u picked out are all very precious to me too !!!!!! soso overjoyed that they stuck out to u <333

aaaa just. tysm for taking the time to read my fics and to send this my way 🥺🥺 i appreciate u sm !!!! keeping this ask so so close to my heart <33

[queen-haq]

Honestly i would have loved more billy being sad without reader. I need the angst and the sadness. I was shocked how adamant he was about none of his behavior being his fault

Oh, he's completely adamant about "Accident Billy" not being him. Because in his mind they're two different entities and he absolutely can't reconcile himself with that guy. That's who he was before he met Reader. The real him (a.k.a AWS Billy and who he is once he regain his memories) is who he is after he fell in love with Reader. She was the lifechanging event in his mind that made the biggest difference in his life.

If it matters, I can assure you Billy is haunted by his behaviour. Just because he can't consciously admit it doesn't mean he doesn't feel regret. He does. And it's going to come out in many different ways in the life he builds with Reader. She's going to get away with a lot more lol - Beast being number one example. In one of the one-shot fics I wrote about REader and Billy there's a throwaway line that has Reader saying "he won't even let us get a puppy". And now Reader has a full-fledged dog that needs her constant attention and that was definitely not something AWS Billy would've agreed to. She can demand almost anything at this point and he'll give it to her.

Thank you for the message :)

[crosswordgf]
