SERIOUSLY. love to every single one of you, you're all incredible. know that i recognize your handles when you like and reblog and comment on things! i love this lil space of the internet where we can gush over stevie and eddie and talk nonsense and be there for each other. so for now, be well. take good care. and please enjoy the festivities!!

🧺 hi lovie!! ive been going back and forth on sending this for like a month bc i didnt wanna be a bother but i just wanna say congratulations??!?? on 2k!?!? all the love!! and support!! 💖💝!!

first off, im a quiet reader but when i tell u i have deleted absolutely deranged comments crying over your writing. i actually love u sm i cant even go to sleep w/o one of ur fics anymore.... a lil treat to end the day 😞💌 but seriously tho i feel like you genuinely help our mental sanity and stability and i wanna thank you for being here <3

i'd love to request matchmaker 💘💘:

favorite colors would definitely be dark green and black (funny bc im a slytherin too 😭)

i love love love reading, listening to music, sleeping (also funny bc i get like none 🤩⁉️) and i play the electric guitar!!

i dont watch a lot of things bc im always just rewatching comfort stuff so erm im just gonna ramble a lot abt my favorite music instead ☠️? here's some music recs 😭? i like a wide range of stuff so one extreme we got like soul crunchingly sad music?? ⁽ᵇᶦˡˡᶦᵉ, ʰᵒᶻᶦᵉʳ, ᵐᶦᵗˢᵏᶦ, ˢᵘᶠʲᵃⁿ ˢᵗᵉᵛᵉⁿˢ ᶠᵗʷ!!⁾. then we have the parasites in me (girlypop music!! taylor, bts, the weeknd and lana!!). then theres the really old and really white man in me (nirvana, rolling stones, beatles, kiss, queen, metallica). then we have the Oldest White Man in me (tchaikovsky, debuss-ing ⁽ᵖˡˢ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ʷᵃˢ ʰᵒʳʳᶦᵇˡᵉ⁾ ⁽ᶦ ᶜᵒᵘˡᵈⁿᵗ ʰᵉˡᵖ ᶦᵗ⁾ and einaudi). also only one im a lil ashamed of but that Younger White Boy in me... (cant believe im admitting this but like. travis scott, jack harlow, lil nas x and metro boomin are lowkey fire...) (im an afab girl btw mdsjksjds i feel like i should mention that with all these white male jokes help) (sorry for this genuine brick wall of text help)

PLS i didnt mean to rambfl so much im sorry. but erm. favorite animal. cats!! and wolves!! i feel like the internet's ruined it with all the jokes but oh i was born to be a lil wolf frolicking with the gang getting up to shenanigans in the woods :(

again, not to be a bother pls feel free to skip over this one if you have too many asks to get through!! i rambled way too much xmksdjjk 😭 (bonus question + reverse matchmaker but im curious abt who you would ship yourself with?!?!! (i'd guess barty or james!?!)) sending so much love 🎀💖

"because you didn't want to be a bother" BESTIE......you don't bother me please for the love of god send the asks and the comments, I'm begging you [especially if you're gonna be a cutie pie]

the parasites in you hahahaha ok so I want to say Sirius because of the slytherin/opposites attract kind of thing but I also think you guys have a lot in common re: music lovers. also he would love to frolic in the woods with you.

It also gives me Barty vibes? Because your music is so all-over the place [in the best way] which is so Barty-core tbh. I think he too would like to frolic in the woods with you <3

-> as for your question; I've always considered myself a Remus girlie. but I was asked this earlier on in my celebration and people had me answer the questions and they also shipped me with James and Lily!! so that's fun you're adding Barty hahaha

thanks for playing xx

dear readers and writers

— a little advice i wish i would have heard before i started this blog and writing in general. sorry i’m that writer that makes post like these, i just want you to understand that things like this change everything. if this looks like a lot, just find the ones that pertain to you.

writers

➤ 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐝

there are so many good works that come from you focusing on the genres you are most comfortable with, and only writing those is not a bad thing. it’s not a “you’re not growing as a writer” situation, it’s a comfort zone situation. just because smuts do well doesn’t mean you have to force yourself to write them. just because angsts come in bulk because you can never ignore the emotional bits of writing doesn’t mean that has to be the main focus of every work. just because fluffs are the most reblogged content doesn’t mean it’s the only genre people will enjoy from you. focus on what you love, others will follow!

➤ 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐥, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥

if you don’t consistently open your inbox, do it at least once. close it when you feel overwhelmed or at any time you feel necessary. don’t believe that you have to write them all in a short period of time. be statistical about it: only open it for a short game or blurbs. use the requests to fill in blanks or practice writing in different ways. play with the word counts. change up the tone. delete a few, you’re not obligated to actually write them, this is your free time and your work. but sometimes doing requests can change how you write, maybe even give you a breakthrough you wouldn’t have had with writing things from your own mind. and have fun.

➤ 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

filling the warnings up with silly little comments or parts from the story is important, too. even if it’s a paragraph’s worth of potential warnings or triggers, never skip adding them. even if you think it’s something not worth mentioning, it will be to someone. add as many as necessary.

➤ 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟏𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞

word counts don’t determine how good of a writer you are. from brilliant blurbs with two paragraphs and one line of dialogue, drabbles with less than a thousand words, or full on double digits fics: what counts is that you enjoyed writing it. it made you excited. you paused just to mention to a friend how much you love writing it. you got chills piecing together that one line. that energy gets put through your work and into your reader, seriously.

➤ 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭?

everyone reads. anything. everything. you name it, one person’s read it. whether your confidence in your writing ability is low or not, the process will only benefit you. and you get to spend time writing about some of your favorite people/characters, it’s a win-win. it’s no competition, only a fun time that you get to create and share with the world. try it.

➤ 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠

the more detail, the better the mental picture. if you read something and love visualizing every scene, hearing every line, then you should work for the same within your stories. close your eyes and put your scene into your surroundings, every little detail counts. and although i said word counts don’t mean anything, if your brain does focus on you having large word counts (it happens to every writer, big word counts make you feel cool for writing so much), then this is a sexy step to use because it heightens that number pretty quickly.

short sentences look weird, but are better than run-ons.

vocabulary is sexy and thesaurus dot com is your best friend. need a word but can only think of something similar, you’ll find it there. used the same word three times now and think you’re starting to look insane, you are, use your sources.

you don’t need a banner or aesthetics for everything you write. the writing does all of the work itself. don’t stress about the accessories.

burnt out on writing the same thing / can’t think of what else to put down? break time. take a tangent, write something else, cut it off there (maybe post it) and leave the rest for the future, the cliffhanger or abrupt ending will have everyone on the edge of their seats. you’re still doing well.

if you’re writing to gain a following or have extensive amounts of notes to brag about, you’re into writing fanfics for the wrong reasons. hoping for feedback is one thing, feasting for it as your only source of inspiration for writing is just hurting yourself and other writers in the long run. write for yourself and no one else.

writer’s block? hell if i know, i’ve had it since before i started writing.

readers

➤ 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐢𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤

a little feedback goes a mile. a simple emoji as a reaction, keyboard smashes, even tagging topical things can make a fanfic writer smile.

but long paragraphs also go a long way. imagine watching a movie you love to bits, so much so that you go online and read reviews of it. that commentary can shift the way you look at the movie forever, and stick with you during other films. it’s the same with receiving and reading feedback on fanfics. I’m not saying go crazy critical with your feedback, do not do that unless the writer says they want criticism, but maybe writing why you love one particular line so much could change the way the writer feels about the entire work or make a reader begin to love the same line so much that they quote it or recommend it. it makes a difference!

➤ 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬?

tell the writer. this isn’t an “i wrote this and it mentions all of these other things, so you should have expected this” game. if it bothered you, it will probably bother someone else, and that needs to be told to the writer. i don’t know what to tell you if a writer writes back being degrading or negative about your concern for that warning, but i promise you that most writers will not argue with whether it should be a warning or not and will just add it. do not be scared to mention something that triggered you if it was not mentioned in the warnings. also, please remember writers are humans and cannot think of everything all the time. we might miss one or two warnings within the work when writing the description, so please tell us.

➤ “𝐈 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝐢 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐠.”

pain. straight pain. your reblog shares that post with your followers. you like it, why wouldn’t they? that reblog stays on your page, it’ll be seen. the tags you put in could help others find more works on your blog, essentially helping more works be found. maybe they’re old and haven’t seen the light of the recent tags in months, but your reblog could help more people still see it, and that makes a difference. we all have those lazy moments where we don’t want to do all of the steps, but even doing them sometimes helps.

➤ 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐜 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞?

readers can scroll through the list for their preferences, find new writers that amaze them, maybe they gain the courage to put together their own fic recs list. all of those recommended fics are still floating around and being shared, they don’t get lost in the tags or the writer’s masterlists. you find/make a recs list: congratulations, you’re contributing to helping fanfics thrive (as they deserve). also, who doesn’t love an entire list right in front of them so they don’t have to go on a scavenger hunt to find new things to read? answer: no one.

➤ 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐞?

tags to organize, fics to go through/find/read, oh my. let me let you in on a little secret:

have you ever had that moment where you suddenly remember one line or scene from a fic you read months ago, and you have the vaguest details to go off of in order to search and find it? your fics recs blog would have you covered, just scroll through the feed or the tags and boom, it’s at your fingertips.

now imagine someone else looking for more fics to read stumbling upon your blog. might look a little strange and coded to them, but eventually they navigate and find a new fic they’ll be talking about for months. they reblog it, add their own feedback, their followers see it and join in, and that writer feels immensely appreciated all because you started a recs blog and just-so-happened to reblog their fic. tah dah.

➤ 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐩?

well, so did i. i asked my followers on this blog and my recs blog to send in their favorite fics with some extra details and feedback thinking i wouldn’t get anything, but i got an entire list! guess what’s even better? that list went straight into the tags (thanks to tumblr working properly for once) and now anyone that searches up ‘kpop fic recs’ can find it at any time. same goes for your own. there’s no specific way of organizing a recs list, just make sure the links work and the writers are credited! it helps.

read more! it’s a vast world in your hands, enjoy the words that go along with it.

sorry for this technical rant/advice post, this has just been in me for a while and i wanted to talk about it. I might add more to this as things come up, but for now i hope this helps! <3

rules & requests page

requests status: CLOSED.

guidelines about my writing

Mostly sfw/fluff, but I do write other things! It depends on my mood; that is to say, you’re not restricted from requesting things other than fluff, if you would like. 

That being said, this blog is safe for minors, with the exception of nsfw posts. They will all be labeled as such, so, if you are a minor who follows/interacts with this blog, then please do not interact with any nsfw posts.

Currently only writing for aot and at the moment, only taking requests for Eren and Levi. 

Please be aware that if I do not immediately respond to your ask, it’s nothing personal. I can’t write every request, even if I wanted to; it’s nothing against your or your ideas. 

Also please refrain from sending a request that you’ve already sent to another writer! Tropes and themes and such are always going to be reused and recycled, but it’s another thing to send the same word-for-word ask to multiple people, so please don’t. 

If you see me writing 32894 variations of friends to lovers with then no you didn’t </2

Do not request anything that would contain spoilers for season 4! I am not currently watching the new season, nor am I caught up on the manga.

I do not have a set updating schedule, or a running post of my wips, as I am an unreliable ball of mess lol. But seriously, I can only write when I have the inspiration; however, I post mostly on weekends.

I do not currently have a permanent or ongoing tag-list. I may consider it in the future, but for now, there is none. 

rules for requesting

Requests are currently closed. 

When making a request, please try to be specific, but not overly detailed; ironically, I know that’s pretty vague of my to say, but try to not just say “can I request an eren x reader fic,” but rather maybe specify a situation or au you’d like to see. 

I mostly write fluff, but I am open to writing and incorporating other genres, so feel free to request things other than pure fluff. 

I like writing aus too! You’ll probably see a lot of modern au, but feel free to request others, too!

As a general rule, please try to not request anything potentially triggering without a warning first; and if it is triggering, it’s likely that I won’t write it anyway. You all have been very kind and patient thus far, and I thank you for that! 

things I will not write

For sfw content, anything containing: extreme gore or vore (mentions of blood, injury and/or violence in the canon aot universe is fine, but not beyond that) / yandere tropes / any romanticization of cheating / anything related to bodily or self-harm

These also apply to requests that would also contain nsfw content. So, regardless, refrain from sending requests with the above topics. 

For nsfw content, anything containing: waste or scat / ddlg or infantilization / foot fetishes / incest. 

I also reserve the right to not write any other kink not listed, but that I am still not comfortable with.  

others, and a small about

I’m 21, my timezone is EST, and you can call me Mie! There’s not much else on this blog besides my answered asks and writing, but it’s probably for the best lmao

I don’t mind minors on this blog, as it’s mostly sfw, but if you are a minor, I ask that you do not interact with any nsfw posts. 

For obvious reasons, do not copy or repost my writing onto another blog or platform. As stated in those fics, some of my works are re-posted and re-worked versions of my own writing. I would never plagiarize someone else’s work, nor have I given anyone else but me permission to use my writing. 

The majority of my writing is exclusively posted on this Tumblr account. A select few fics will be crossposted to my ao3 (under the same user: miekasa). 

That being said, if you see my writing on other blogs or platforms, like Wattpad, then it is not me. Please tell me if you see that so that I can report and/or contact the user if necessary. 

This is a sideblog, which means that I cannot reply or follow back from this account. But I can still get asks and messages, so feel free to stop by and chat if you want!

My fic recs blog is @/ackermeun, which is where I keep reblogs of my favorite fics. I’m working on fixing the tags to make it easier to search through lol

Flirting is hard, destiel failboat edition

Who’s up for a little nostalgia tour? The chosen theme for this mid February weekend is flirting failboats Dean and Cas, and these are some of our forever favorite short fics. All fics have been previously recced on this blog; some of them a long time ago, quite a few are by writers who have already left the fandom. If you are a new destiel reader, you may have missed these little gems. Check them out and you may discover your new favorite author!  

All title links go to AO3, second link goes to the rec list the fic was recced first. The year the fic was posted is adde in the bracket. See here about recent changes in our fic review and reccing format. Screen cap from homeofthenutty

A Safe Deposit by casbean [T, 1,500 word count, 2019]  previously recced here! 

Dean has a special deposit to make at the fertility clinic. His nurse is ridiculously hot and it's distracting. 

A Single Kiss by whelvenwings [T, 4,100 word count, 2016]  previously recced here! 

>> So did you kiss him? Cas read Anna’s text message with a sigh, standing next to his bed in his pyjamas, only just woken up. He should never, ever have allowed his sister even the slightest of glimpses into his meagre dating life.

Eelings for You by K_K_TiBal [Gen, 4,200 word count, 2017]  previously recced here! 

By the request of of purgatory-jar, who wanted non-crack eel-themed deancas.  (aquarium tour guide Cas meets teacher Dean and his class)

Incredibly Single & Ready to Mingle by imogenbynight [T, 3,600 word count, 2014]  previously recced here! 

Sam uses Facebook like the social media junkie he is. He's befriended literally every person he's ever had a conversation with since he got an account, which means that approximately—Dean checks—eight hours ago, he shared this horrible photo with something in the vicinity of nine hundred people. The caption below the picture reads “incredibly single & ready to mingle ;)” and roughly half of them have liked it. Dean has never been so embarrassed in his life.

Neighborly Behavior by Annie D (scaramouche) [T, 1,900 word count, 2017] previously recced here! 

Cas and Dean at a neighborhood potluck, in an AU where they’re both kinda assholes. 

Novak Quadruplets verse by violue [T, M, NC-17, 8,100 word count, 2016] previously recced here! 

It took weeks, even months before Dean was confident that he could tell the Novak Quadruplets apart... [summary of part 1]

okay, cupid. by orange_crushed [T, 4,600 word count, 2014] previously recced here! 

"The dating thing?" Dean frowns. "Online dating is for weirdos. Robots. Dudes hanging out in their basements." "You hang out in your basement." "I have an air hockey table down there,” Dean says, icily.

One White Lie by komodobits [T, 11,200 word count, 2015] (our review) 

Castiel takes a deep breath and rings the doorbell. He doesn’t need to run through what he’s going to say – he’s already planned and edited and rehearsed it a thousand times. He is going to ask Dean Winchester out to dinner. If it’s not too forward, he’ll say, perfectly charming. You see, I’ve seen you around the neighbourhood and you always seem so earnest and I’d really like to get to know you bette— The door swings open, and Castiel panics.He intends to excuse himself. He means to apologise and come back some other time. However, in a moment of blind fear, what comes out of his mouth instead are the words, “Could you spare a moment for Jesus Christ?” 

Support Your Local Gay Beekeeper by Powerfulweak [NC-17, 4,000 word count, 2015] previously recced here! 

It’s not like Dean goes on Grindr very often, just when he’s bored and alone. The blue-eyed guy's profile reads "Beekeeper, 29, 5'10, Single, I watch the bees." Dean is intrigued. He has to send a message. 

‘Tis but a Crush by Annie D (scaramouche) [Gen, 5,600 word count, 2018] previously recced here! 

Castiel discovers that he'd somehow drawn the possibly-amorous attention of a man with green eyes. It's flattering and intriguing. Now if only the man would say hello.

The fics have been previously recced on these thematic fic rec lists (listed in chronological order):

Ask about Cas and his better twin 

Dean/Cas Social Media Rec list 

Seriously ... AUs (AU oneshot rec list) 

Naughty or Nice - the Nice Edition (T rated AU oneshots) 

Destiel: Pets and Vets rec list 

Destiel AU, vol.3 - Meet Cute

[twopoppies]

Hey babe, I was wondering if you could rec me some fics that are super sad, made you cry, or just kind of broke you. I'm in that type of mood it seems (I also find it interesting to know what some consider sad that others don't). Thank you thank you thank you!

Hi love. Well, sometimes a good cry is exactly what you need. And yeah, comparing what some might consider sad is an interesting thing to consider. I actually adore melancholy stories but don’t do too well with major angst. However, I’ll give you a list of ones I really liked which include a few that made me ugly cry. However, please read all the tags as some of these really might be upsetting to people given the story details. Ok…in no particular order and as requested: 

Fics that are super sad, made me cry, or just kind of broke me:

like a bastard on a burning sea by vashtaneradas (I actually seriously love this author’s writing and all of the ones I’ve read are very melancholy and poetic. This one was a weep fest for me. But I love the pain and read it numerous times)

Coup de Foudre by angelwarm (I’m adding this even because it falls into that sad and otherworldly feel, although I can’t say it made me weep. But it’s seriously one of most beautifully written fics I’ve ever read).

the impossible now by stylinsoncity (OK, there isn’t a fic that Chelsie has written that I don’t like, but this one KILLED me. I ranted about it for days and still get angsty thinking about it).

Little Technicolor Things by tekhnicolor (I adore this fic and wouldn’t shut up about it for ages. Here’s my post about it that I subjected people to last year. LOL).

Take My Breath Away by realitybetterthanfiction (Mac is lucky she’s so lovely, because I would otherwise never forgive her for what she put me through in this one. Such a rollercoaster and so worth it).

Tug of War by cherrystreet (Shelly is another author who never fails me. This one broke my heart and put it back together again in the loveliest way).

210 Days by cherrystreet (I think this was the first fic of hers I read and I can’t believe I came back for more. Seriously though, it’s gorgeous. And then she killed me again by writing a drabble from Harry’s POV)

Finding Lou by stylinsoncity (I told you I loved her)

To the Ends of the Earth by stylinsoncity (now this is getting embarrassing).

a grocery list pinned to blue by dangerbears (this one hit a little too close to home and I was a mess after reading it. But it’s really good).

finding you was hard (but loving you is easy) by togetherwecouldbealright (the summary makes it sound very lighthearted but there was something about this one that made me weep uncontrollably).

No One Does It Better by nodibs (oh god. This was one of the first few fics I read when I entered the fandom and it’s painful and so good).

things have gotten closer to the sun by starseas (Otherwise known as “the solar flare fic”. Yeah…this was one of those that I was like, “why the fuck did you read that?” It’s beautifully written but fucked me up for weeks afterwards).

Where Your Heart is by anchor and tvshows_addict (this is absolutely one of my favorite fics and it made me cry numerous times. It’s just brilliantly written and the storyline is so well developed. @tvshows-addict is someone you should send this ask to, actually, because she is evil and ADORES angsty and pain and torturing her characters. Also, she and her co-author wrote a fic that is so sad I can’t even read it: Fire For A Heart ).

Speaking of fics that I can’t read…ask someone to tell you about “the brain cancer fic”. I don’t even know what it’s called and I never want to know. 

Fading by tothemoonmydear (I know a lot of people dislike this fic and there are definitely things that don’t completely work for me in it, but I’m including it anyway because it was probably one of the first fics I read and I truly ugly cried my way through it. Major ED trigger warnings though).

Ok…that’s what I’ve got. Thank you for the ask and don’t blame me if you end up like this.
