u have a bigger avs following and so i feel like u should make a who is natemacks boyfriend poll and watch the reblogs burn like the purge

I do? Sure i can do that! But know that I'm all for reblogging so if you made one I'd happily rb, give it my humble spotlight

LFGOOOOOOO ten thousand boyfriends offseason showdown!!

If it gets tight lmao I'll do another round with the highest votes and suggestions from the comments/tags

Do you have any fic recs for fics that explore gender identity, especially genderqueer/non-binary identity? Fics that discuss trans identity are welcome too, but I think I may have already read many of the fics you would recommend for that 😅

hello my friend i am so sorry for the belated response here but I have a few!!

this jack/nico fic by overturnedgoal is v soft and has jack exploring gender a bit in the background and is one of my favorites ever tbh

there's also this jackty fic by softanimal

this nico/nolan is so good

i also really enjoy this trans brock series

this tk/np fic is just....yes

this explores transness in the omegaverse, and even if you're not the biggest omegaverse person I do think it's worth the read

and then the ones below here either don't explore gender at all and is just trans ppl getting to be happy and live their lives or the exploration is more a minor part of it (or i can't remember how much it actually explores gender) or its some of my favorite fic with trans or nonbinary characters

this natety college fic

this tknp lex missed connections fic

the septa fic

the selkie fic

this one zachwilly fic

this mitch/auston fic

this jackty fic <3333

and then in my tbr:

this kappy/turbo fic looks like SUCH an interesting exploration of queerness and gender

and then i got recced this one on here and haven't had a chance to read it yet

lillian + 🤢

—🤢 yes this is a major ongoing situation in her life and not a hardy har problematic anecdote but i cannot stress enough that this bitch LITERALLY knew she was gonna marry her childhood sweetheart's half-brother the whole ass time and clowned around anyway just to go on and marry mr jack falcon and dismissing nate insisting he was trash as petty envy but then whoops!!!! jack was in fact trash so who does she go to with her assassination plot? good ol natety boy like heyyyyyy remember how i strung you along all our lives but wouldn't marry you because you didn't have the social or political sway your brother does <333 well <333 i need just a little favor bc i didn't listen to you and now i'm in a whole ass mess <333 sowwy <333 girl shut up, you have the audacity to act scandalized by your manipulative politicking mother after pulling this shit? flop

[grittyreadsfic]

this natety onlyfans au by bigbastian is everything to me, actually!

[grittyreadsfic]

9, 12, and 18 for ao3 wrapped?

9) the average length for fics i read is currently 17,198 words!

12) mmm jackty or natety, it think. favorite pairing that isn't my niche some guy pairing is probably mcstrome

18) this isn't the oldest gem fic since it's only 2018 but this fic by leafsmealone is one of my all time faves

[grittyreadsfic]

plasticclouders really got me so emotional in this epistolary natety fic from post trade

[grittyreadsfic]

hello I love your nicojack fics, you’re contribution to the tag is 🫶🏽

do you have any fic ideas that will never make it out of the drafts?

omg thank you so much!!!! <3

and yeah honestly a lot at this point? most of my jackty and natety fics are solidly abandoned at this point (rip to the ty to sens trade fic where he ends up back on the devils in free agency in his 30s when jack has a daughter and a lesbian ex wife and also my fwb platonic intimacy natety fic-y'all were gonna be so good)

my original jack gender fic which was vaguely soulmates is also long abandoned, as my jespernico and my milespav and i think two mcstrome fics? there's a couple of others still as well but those are all the ones I have like. 2kish or more written for that I'm calling abandoned

of course, both my jacknico coffee shop fic and my nicosiegs fwb fic were technically abandoned at one point so like. who actually knows?

sometimes i think my jacknico heist fic might never make it out of the ideas stage but also i'm planning on making that or my zachdylan hanahaki fic my big bang so i'm not willing to write them off yet

[grittyreadsfic]

at first i was surprised by hrpf and 911 overlap in authors and then i remembered all those posts about hrpf also always include the authors having like. fic for every procedural show as well as hrpf so actually it tracks

[grittyreadsfic]

shoes 👀

[grittyreadsfic]

would u like an excuse to talk about natety ☕️

belated bc i got sleepy but BOY HOWDY

okay hello so like i imagine like everyone you have seen The Photo:

and like. why is Nate so tenderly cradling Ty's hand? why the quiet intimacy of that touch where I have to see it? that is where my natety agenda started and it is uh mostly just me sitting here alone yelling at a few beloved friends about it and the devs discord humoring me whenever new pics drop

it goes all the way back to 2018 when ty was first drafted but he's straight up always looked at nate like nate hung the moon

(july 2018)

also nate and mikey are the ones who gave him the smithy nickname, but i'm too lazy to find that article/quote rn because i spent too much time finding pictures and gifs for this lmao

and like. when mikey was out they started their own lil routine for warmups and they still do it now and they've done it time and time again and also when mikey came back it included him too

and they both always look so happy during it!

also consider

anyway moral of the story is that nate is 6'4 and ty is (supposedly) 5'11 and i think that they're neat

(side note: something something ty smith gets superbuddied)

[grittyreadsfic]

hello i am thinking about my semi abandoned natety longfic again, i think i should work on it tonight

[grittyreadsfic]

me opening up my outline for my natety(mikey) fic and remembering how big brained i am like wow

[grittyreadsfic]

Would I really be me if I wasn’t trying to weasel more natety details from you?? 👀👀👀👀

so there are two natety wips one is uhhhhhhh going to be an indepth exploration of queer friendship and intimacy and love that's also technically nate/ty/mikey but is still just referred to as my natety fwb fic because of habit/ease. I'm still sorting out if i want to keep it a platonic intimacy between nate and ty or build it as a romance-both have their appeal i think and i'll probably just see how the vibe turns out as i write it. the only snippets i really have for this are porn so have these two scenes from my outline

other natety is basically ty and nate hooked up at jack's birthday at the end of last season and then ty trying to work up the nerve to text him during the offseason and it's just them slowly building into something neither of them planned for by the time they get back to jersey. it is still very much just in the loose idea/vibes stage and i have nothing written for it

[grittyreadsfic]

good morning everyone, i hope you know i’m still thinking about this image and the implications of it and i have been coping by reading devils fic and writing almost 2k of my natety fwb au that i have been sitting on for weeks

[grittyreadsfic]

It’s Not You, It’s My Enemies + Summer Camp AU + Devils ensemble

okay so like there’s something here for jack and ty being enemies/exes and jack trying to get with nico (also a background nolan is nico’s ex bc i said so) and they’re all camp counselors and jack and ty are always at the edge of the what’s appropriate and share a cabin and nate and pk and miles are all trying to mediate the situation but none of it is helping and there’s a full blown prank war and one fo them 👀(jack or ty) breaks a bone and that’s still and issue and it’s endgame natety and nicojack bc i said so

[grittyreadsfic]

dude can i just. pitch an idea in the form of jonas/nico/jack. because it's been burning a hole in my back pocket and i need to talk to SOMEONE about it

I AM SO HERE FOR THIS

I put jonas/nico/jack as a background in my natety last fall and i haven’t stopped thinking about it…..it’s SO good please just pitch the idea
