Mega GOmens Fic Rec Post MASTER

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF A LINK IS BROKEN OR IF I MISATTRIBUTED SOMETHING.

JAUNTS THROUGH HISTORY/CANON

1. Paperwork – Mirach (T, the one where Aziraphale is filling out forms for a new corporation and is idly flashing back to the reasons for his discorporation. It has a lot to do with Crowley. This one is so sweet and heartfelt, and also has a surprise at the end that gave me a good chuckle.)

2. A Dozen Red Roses for My Darling – @raiining (G, the one where Crowley finds himself in a bit of a pickle while doing a miracle for Aziraphale. This one has the funniest summary and I don’t even know why it’s so funny to me. It’s even better that it’s a Regency story, and the underlying tension between Crowley and Aziraphale is so good. Simple and sweet.)

3. When the lights go out (run away with me) – strawberriesandtophats (T, the one where Nanny Ashtoreth and Brother Francis skip out for the night. Has a gorgeous little rendezvous between the two of them, and a wonderful second chapter where they find Warlock again. Entirely too beautiful. All the emotions.)

4. older now, and the light is dim – WISHBONE (NR, the one where Aziraphale walks in on Crowley holding baby Warlock and both he and my heart go entirely to pieces. Based on that one gingerhaole fanart, it captures the quiet tenderness of the art perfectly, and then beyond—Crowley goes a little protective at one point and then Aziraphale is introspective and it’s GOOD.)

5. It begins, as it will end, in a garden – @tenoko1 (G, the one where it’s the cold open but with a recurring theme of flowers woven in. This one has fluctuating gender presentations and Crowley and Aziraphale discorporating each other and one utterly perfect moment where Aziraphale tries to kill Crowley and can’t make herself do it, and it is all Too Soft and Too Beautiful for words.)

6. A House in the Country – @theoldaquarian (T, the one where Crowley and Aziraphale take a vacation in an abandoned house in the Lake District for a summer. It’s beautiful and there’s pining and there might be thirty-six rooms in this place but it’s nicer to spend time together, dangit. Understated and quiet and perfect.)

7. The Gospel of Crowley – gutterandthestars (T, the one where Crowley gets on with tempting Christ and in true Crowley fashion it backfires on him. Jesus has the BEST characterization, he and Crowley have wonderful banter, and the whole thing is poignant and hilarious. Loved it from start to finish.)

8. build me a city, call it jerusalem – @gyzym (T, the one where Crowley considers Right and Wrong. Book-verse. Jumps around in history and is one of those really esoteric, artistic pieces that makes you stop and think about what you just read. Absolutely gorgeous.)

9. Solitarius – @popcornpowergoddess (G, the one where Crowley blesses an old cottage and is sad. This one blew my mind when I read the author is fifteen, because WOW they are going places if they’re already this good. The work is heartbreaking and a little funny and so, so visually appealing. A real treat for the brain.)

10. Sawdust of Words – @aethelflaedladyofmercia (G and T, the series where Crowley and Aziraphale’s relationship and the Ineffable Plan get looked at from another angle. This series is already gonna rip me to pieces—Early Days had the most gorgeous and DIFFERENT storyline for Aziraphale post-Adam and Eve getting cast out, and it has him and Crowley actually arguing and being contentious at first in their relationship, it’s so good, especially when they start to try and work it out. Obedience hurt me in ways I did not ask for. The stories jump around in the timeline and it’s all so GOOD, I’m READY for more!)

11. An Angel who did not so much Fall In Love as Settle Into It Gradually – @theladyzephyr (G, the one where it’s exactly what it says on the tin. Jumps through history and has precious tender moments and less-than-tender moments all jumbled up in there, you can really feel with Aziraphale where he starts to lose the fight against his feelings. Just fantastic.)

12. Inauspicious (But Not Impossible) – @thetunewillcome (M, the one where there’s a kiss in 1945 and immediate consequences, and Aziraphale contemplates Romeo and Juliet. IMO doesn’t deserve the M rating, the kissing and the snogging are both pretty innocuous. The pining is real and delicious and painful, and the ways Heaven and Hell choose to remind their agents of what happens to traitors is Awful. Nothing gory, just sad. But it ends so much happier.)

13. and you can say that my hair’s a disgrace – @phoenix-soar (T, the one that’s an ode to Crowley’s hair throughout the years, and excuses for Aziraphale to touch it. Intimate, romantic, intensely emotional, just a real treat of a fic. Aziraphale loves Crowley and his hair so much.)

14. As Yearning Lips to Unyielding Stone – SanSanFanFan (G, the one where Crowley gets maudlin over a statue that looks like Aziraphale. Oh my gosh, you guys. You guys, the PINING. The YEARNING. The LONGING. It’s exquisite and painful and a work of art in and of itself. I have a soft spot for period fics, especially Italian Renaissance, for some reason, and THIS is one of the best.)

15. What’s Done In the Dark – @charmingpplincardigans (T, the one where Crowley literally glows with love and HOLY CRAP ON A STICK, Y’ALL, this one is an epic. It’s as much a story about growth as it is about love, and it’s so, so satisfying to watch Crowley go through this journey. I don’t have the words, just know that it’s one of those fics you can’t pass up. A+++++++)

16. Hot Days, Mad Blood – noodlefrog (T, the one where Aziraphale teaches Crowley how to duel, or he will in future chapters. This is a brand-spanking-new one that is gonna be so much fun to watch update. Italian Renaissance! Swordplay! Crowley being a smitten idiot! Aziraphale being competent! It’s gonna be so good y’all.)

SOUTH DOWNS

17. make your good love known to me (or just tell me about your day) – Sky_Stars_Sea (G, the one where Crowley is adjusting to living with Aziraphale. Has a beautiful sensory experience running throughout, and Crowley being so vulnerable it physically hurts. Beautiful, beautiful story.)

18. The Cottage at the End of the Lane – Angelina_Aintithenniel (T, the series where Crowley and Aziraphale have to defend what’s theirs. I have never screamed at my computer so much while reading a fic series, mostly along the lines of “LEAVE THEM AND THEIR HOUSE ALONE,” because this series is the Madoka Magica of fics: cute and fluffy casing, unexpectedly wild, angsty, action-packed innards. I adore this whole series. It makes me FEEL things.)

19. in my darkness I remember – @anthxnyjcrxwley (T, the one where it’s a soft, quiet night in the South Downs. A straight shot of fluff right to the heart, friendos, nothing more, nothing less. Stuff a mattress with this fic and say goodbye to any and all worldy pains.)

20. there’s no kingdom to come – killingthemoon (T, the one where Crowley slips off to fix up the cottage before springing it on Aziraphale. Tender, sweet, has a gorgeous ending scene that’s lots of fun and lots of shouting at the sky.)

21. A Heaven More Like This – miladyshakespeare (T, the one where it’s a Welsh cottage this time, cycling through a year. Such a beautiful piece of longing and uncertainty as Crowley and Aziraphale circle each other, a lot of quiet themes about letting yourself be cared for and letting yourself care, and also there’s a cat.)

22. The Legend of Devil’s Dyke – @sameoldsorceress (M, the one that’s a retelling of a popular South Downs local legend. Not sure at all why this one is rated M but it might be the gratuitous use of the word “cocks”, though in context it’s not filthy at all. This one is FUN, y’all, and I agree with the sentiment of the Tumblr post that inspired the fic, there need to be more fics featuring local South Downs legends.)

POST-APOCALYPSE

23. Slow – @theirdarkreturning (T, the one where the Antichrist makes some assumptions when he puts the world back together. Scores points for being very Jewish and playing right into the classic nigh-Shakespearean trope of miscommunication. Hilarious and sweet also the one where God signs the marriage certificate.)

24. Binary Stars – samael_the_scrivener (T, the one where Crowley has an emotional breakdown and Aziraphale does his best to make it right. Heavily emotional and angsty, nearly had me in tears right along with Crowley, and Aziraphale’s portion doesn’t back down from the tone, they have to fight tooth and nail through the emotional blockage to get to understanding and it’s positively sublime.)

25. If We’ve Got Nothing (We’ve Got Us) – @kedreeva (G, the one where everyone ends up where they’re meant to be. A gorgeous story about found family and working through differences and—eventually—God’s Ineffable Plan possibly coming to full fruition. I don’t wanna spoil too much, it’s best experienced blind.)

26. The Ludicrous and Many Disasters of Mister A.Z. Fell, Houseplant – @souljellied (T, the one where it is also exactly what it says on the tin and is exactly as ridiculous as you’d hope. With an unexpected but not unwelcome dash of angst, to boot. Crowley doesn’t take too well to being unable to immediately find Aziraphale, after all. Aziraphale is mostly wondering how to get out of this mess.)

27. In the (Second) Beginning – cherryfeather (M, the one where they have an inevitable conversation after the Ritz. Doesn’t really need the M rating since the smooching is intense but not graphic, and has the single greatest scene of Aziraphale reminding Crowley he’s a sensualist of ALL TIME. Fabulous work, very formative for me tbh.)

28. all I need, darling, is a life in your shape – @mortuarybees (G, the one where Aziraphale and Crowley need some convincing in the form of their well-meaning friends putting them in a room with one bed. The pining is delicious and piping hot, friends, and then suddenly oh my GoSatSomebody, they were roommates. A great little number with a beautiful confession scene.)

29. corrections – @0nelater (T, the one where Crowley is having a slow, melting come-apart about his feelings. Lots of Crowley being, in his own words, a basket case, and having a fundamental misunderstanding of how angels sensing love works, and how those two concepts are resolved. Has beautiful color symbolism and fun meta throughout.)

30. dearly beloved – @dissatisfied-starlight (T, the one where Crowley and Aziraphale get married, despite the universe’s best efforts, it seems. Hilarious and sweet and surprising! Not to spoil anything, but also has the best Beelzebub characterization as a nice little cherry on top.)

31. A Buried and Burning Flame – Lissomedi (G, the one where Crowley and Aziraphale visit an art museum and happen upon a disturbingly accurate and intimate depiction of themselves. Lots of Crowley pining and then being miserable, lots of Aziraphale being confused and then exasperated. So cute and sweet.)

32. The Long Game – sir_not_appearing_in_this_archive (G, the one that’s an adventure romp with proper twists and pining and saving the world. I love the spirit of this one, and the various inconveniences the cast have to overcome to stay out of Heaven and Hell’s radar. The building action right before the climax of the plot is heart-stopping, and the resolution is suitably satisfying. Was a fun way to spend a late night, for sure.)

33. in which labels are finnicky things – REVVIII (T, the one where Aziraphale is trying to figure out the perimeters of their relationship post-Apocalypse. He tries so hard, does his research, but honestly, nothing is gonna do it like talking to Crowley about it openly, which is, of course, not his first course of action. Very cute, especially when he’s trying to suss out what friends with benefits are.)

BUS RIDE/NIGHT BEFORE/HEAVEN AND HELL

34. if you wanna be alone, come with me – mygalfriday (G, the one where they can’t even make it into Crowley’s flat before it all comes spilling out. Short and sweet shot of fluff, just a perfect little sip of serotonin.)

35. The Things We Did and Didn’t Do – @dietraumerei (G, the one where they finally get their act together and defeat Heaven and Hell with the power of LOVE. Such tender, very emotion. Wow.)

36. Too Generous – rfsmiley (T, the one where That One Line, you know the one, from Pride and Prejudice serves as the inspiration. There’s some sneaky shirt-opening and it’s both hot and kinda funny. The very definition of “enthusiastic consent.”)

37. Exit Interview – Pygmy Puff (G, the one where Crowley has to survive a round of paperwork in order to get out of Heaven in Aziraphale’s body. This one went in a completely unexpected direction. I was ready for a humorous romp through Heaven’s bureaucracy. I got so much more than I was bargaining for. Read it, it’s ridiculous in all the best ways and surprisingly dangerous.)

AU/UA

38. An Honest Surrender – @kedreeva (T, the one where their plan to fool Heaven and Hell is a little different. Y’all might already know this one as the Angel Marriage fic, but for those who don’t, imagine “marriage” as we know it and then throw that concept out the window, because what happens is too weird and beautiful for words. My words, anyway.)

39. Mr. Fell – @amarguerite (T, the one that’s a reverse AU where Aziraphale is a Victorian dandy frat boy party-thrower who used to date Satan and talks about it constantly, and Crowley is Heaven’s perfect little soldier and all the PTSD that comes with. Tons of heart and originality already, though it’s still early in the fic, and a truly special dynamic between Aziraphale and Crowley. Also Aziraphale accidentally causes Original Sin by inventing brunch and if that doesn’t get you to read, nothing will.)

40. Keep Getting Stranger (I Do) – @callipygiangoldfish (T, the one that’s a Howl’s Moving Castle AU, patterned more after the book than the movie. It’s a wonderful little adventure about accepting yourself and the side-dish of falling in love is SCRUMPTIOUS.)

41. By the Light of My Stars – @theladydrgn (T, the one where Crowley was Raphael and in love with Aziraphale and that bit doesn’t change, at least. Has probably my favorite tag used in any fic ever of all time, I’ll see if you can spot it. Protective Crowley for MILES and MILES in this one, what he does to a demon that threatens Aziraphale is pure poetry. Going in a promising direction for sure!)

42. flammam gladii hinc – @wildenessat221b (G, the series where Crowley was Raphael and wiped Aziraphale’s memory to protect him. Has the BEST backstory for the flaming sword, of all things, and a bittersweet story throughout. Told in terms of [redacted] so it’s got a bit of mystery to it but not much. Somehow that makes it sadder.)

43. Bring Out Your Dead – metallic_sweet (T, the one where Crowley is Raphael and a healer no matter what Heaven tries to get him to do. A reverse AU where Aziraphale is a shark, of all things, and a warrior with a supernaturally bad sense of direction trying his best. It’s a refreshing change of pace in both reverse AUs and Raphael AUs; Crowley is still gruff and Aziraphale is still sweet and it’s perfect.)

44. Something to do with these sacred words – @thehumantrampoline (T, the one where Crowley confesses early and often. It’s both lovely and sad, in a way, for Crowley to be so open about his feelings so much without Aziraphale doing much about it besides panic internally, but the ending is sweet, very much so.)

45. reckless and wild and stricken – @weatheredlaw (T, the one where Armageddon happens again and this time it’s a true post-apocalyptic nightmare scenario. Weatheredlaw is famous for having fics that just tear at the heartstrings, and this one’s no different. It’s tender and it’s sad and it’s desperate and it HAUNTS ME.)

46. A price to pay – @aerococonut (T, the one where performing miracles costs Crowley something. A lovely look at the technicalities of Crowley—and Aziraphale, mind—doing something they aren’t made for, and the ways it changes them. Fans of fics about chronic pain, this is the one.)

47. Soulmates – GoodandIneffable (G, the one where your lies put marks on your soulmate’s body, and Aziraphale and Crowley are soulmates. This is one I wish had at least a 3k-word expansion, because the concept is gorgeous and Crowley’s realization at what it truly means to be Aziraphale’s soulmate is staggering. Short, but worth it.)

48. i love(d) you – extraordinarilyextreme (G, the one that’s a Star Wars AU and it WRECKED ME. Force-bonds, love, betrayal, forgiveness, AUGH. It’s too much. I love it. Also Padawans Warlock and Adam ftw.)

49. The Book of Aziraphale – @gigglesnortbangdead (T, the one where Aziraphale wrote poetry he never intended to make public, and naturally it goes public. This had the potential to be silly or sweet and wound up directly in poignant instead; Aziraphale takes a decidedly self-loathing approach with a lot of his poetry and it’s amazing to watch him work through his feelings about himself and about Crowley.)

50. Of Celestial Sonnets and Pitiable Poets – trieduntrue (T, the one where Crowley wrote poetry he never intended to make public and then Hell finds it. So naturally, to save his skin, he has it printed and distributed under the guise of “spreading sin.” Then he writes and publishes a second one completely drunk. This one is pure silliness and Crowley schadenfreude; it really plays up the beloved device of “everything Crowley does backfires on him somehow” in the most lighthearted way.)

51. The Healer and the Lover – Nnm (T and G, the series where Aziraphale’s name means “of Raphael” and that’s who Crowley used to be, and there’s a lot of complicated feelings involved. Really emotionally complex and interesting take on the Raphael AU, one I’ve come back to a lot because it’s so compelling.)

52. Tracing The Stars On Your Skin – PunJedi (T, the one where Crowley’s freckles used to be stars. Achingly sweet and sad, goes through each constellation Crowley made and has a story for it. The end is just gorgeous, really emotional and sweet.)

53. On the Matter of Touch – @somedrunkpirate (T, the one where Aziraphale is flooded with the emotions of the ones he touches, and Crowley is a touch-starved lovesick sad sap. Incredibly tender and emotional, lots about boundaries and communication and the Mortifying Ordeal of letting yourself care and be cared for.)

SOFT

54. keep me close – @saints-and-demons-preserve-us (G, the one where Aziraphale accidentally discovers that Crowley does local theatre. It’s so funny and sweet and full of longing and excellent Broadway tunes, and also Aziraphale is The Most Awkward and it’s gratifying af.)

55. i keep a window for you (it’s always open) – @campgender (T, the one where they quote Romeo and Juliet a lot. It’s beautiful and romantic and Shakespeare always deserves appreciation. The lines that are picked out are especially gorgeous in the context of the fic.)

56. Hunter’s Heart, Hunter’s Mouth – kashiichan (T, the series where Aziraphale romances Crowley with poetry. I’m new here so I don’t quite understand the Gomens fandom’s immortal love of Richard Siken, but I can darn well appreciate good poetry, especially when it’s couched in tender touches and overwhelming feels.)

57. Fools in Love – @theres-a-goldensky (T and M, the series where this is absolutely true. The first is a frankly hilarious jaunt at Aziraphale trying different hobbies and dragging Crowley into them, the second is Aziraphale not realizing he’s projecting his own longing for Crowley onto everyone around him and then getting jealous of his own warped perceptions. M rating is more for lascivious intent and verbiage than actual smut, and what an intent it is XD)

58. To Trust in One Another – bluespring864 (T, the one where Aziraphale is haunted by something insensitive he once said to Crowley. Do you enjoy pining that builds until it breaks every dam in the universe? Do you enjoy self-flagellating for something dumb you said once? Welcome to paradise, friends, a sweet, adorable paradise.)

59. Best Not To Dwell On It – @saaliyah (G, the one where they make out in a linen closet sometime in the early 1800s. Short, simple, sweet, and making out in a linen closet, what more do you thirsty lovies need XD)

60. Something So Precious – @freyjawriter24 (G, the one where Aziraphale and Crowley are adopted by two separate groups of old ladies who take it upon themselves to matchmake, as groups of old ladies are wont to do. Too adorable for words, will cause literal discorporation.)

61. Birds of a Feather – @idiopathicsmile (T, the one where Aziraphale is nesting and Crowley doesn’t get it. Another one of those classic miscommunication fics where everything is awful until they finally get on the same page, and then it’s wonderful. Also the thought of Aziraphale in particular feathering his nest with things he and Crowley both like is the sweetest mental image of all time.)

62. Just Hold On Tight – @books-n-bentleys (G, the one where communication is key to every relationship. Love languages are a thing and making sure you and your partner come to an understanding about them is important; see this fic for why this is a really good idea. Because every relationship deserves tenderness and understanding and the correct level of schmoop.)

63. Braving Those Angry Skies – ladymerlot (T, the one where Crowley nearly kills himself saving Aziraphale from Nazis. Crowley is so perfectly in character throughout it’s almost funny even when it isn’t (maybe especially when it isn’t). A prime example of my favorite Gomens fic trope to date. I know I don’t have a lot of variance in my adjectives but you guys TENDER. ROMANTIC. SWEET. IT’S ALL OF THEM.)

64. Moral Arguments – WhiteQueenWrites (T, the one where Crowley and the gang help a woman get revenge on her truly horrible ex. This one is FUN, there’s no other way to say it. It’s cathartic and satisfying and is one of those fics I wish was a cheesy movie I could watch while eating disgusting amounts of popcorn.)

65. get religion quick (cause you’re looking divine) – @brinnanza (G, the one where Aziraphale is convinced Crowley doesn’t love him back and it’s fine. Cute and emotional and must absolutely be read with its counterpart below. This one first, that’s why it’s listed first; they aren’t related in the way that they’re the same scene from different perspectives, they’re just similar situations with the roles swapped, and it’s so worth reading, these idiots I swear 2 Someone.)

66. you play with my feelings (right from the start) – @penrosesun (G, the one where Crowley is convinced Aziraphale doesn’t love him back and it’s fine. Hilarious and emotional and must absolutely be read with its counterpart above. Really illustrates how two smart people can completely miss the point for THOUSANDS OF YEARS.)

67. Worth Any Price – @sameoldsorceress (T, the one where Crowley sets up a kissing booth. You guys I was ready for fun shenanigans involving Crowley kissing the general public and maybe Aziraphale getting a little bothered under the collar. I was not expecting the FEELS. The PLOT. The UNEXPECTED PUNCH TO THE GUT. Absolutely an underrated treasure in this fandom, needs to be talked of often.)

68. Bodies of Change – @dietraumerei (G, the one where Aziraphale has new clothes. This one plays right into my Fashion itch and it’s wonderful and body-positive and so, so sweet. Crowley is so smitten with his angel.)

69. i did not know ‘twas love i gave – miribees (T, the one where Aziraphale makes Crowley a mixtape. This one is unexpectedly bittersweet and tender, with Crowley and Aziraphale in a fight for a good chunk of the fic, but it’s the apology and the making up that’s sweetest, of course.)

70. World Cold, Aziraphale Warm – maddiemaynot (NR, the one where Crowley is trying his best, okay. It’s unbearably romantic how much they love each other, how they slide into soft intimacy in fits and starts. Also has quite possibly the most disastrous date in history, but it’s the thought that counts.)

BEFORE

71. Fractured Heart – @asparklethatisblue (T, the one that’s gonna murder me with Aziraphale’s feels. The premise is that angels can be physically broken by strong emotion, and what’s stronger than the grief of losing a loved one to the Rebellion? Also dealing with Aziraphale’s feelings for Crowley getting tangled up in his feelings for his lost heavenly love, and it’s DELICIOUS.)

72. ask, and ye shall receive – @ariaste (G, the one where Crawly gets exactly what he’s asking for. Very much has the feel of my something-great grandpa, who once told a man “Go ahead, shoot me!” and was obliged. Hilarious and sweet, you can FEEL God’s smugness throughout the entire fic.)

73. what wound did ever heal – HallsofStone2941 (M, the one where Aziraphale is wounded in the War in Heaven and carries it with him. Rated M for one line involving sexytimes that truly isn’t that bad at all. Aziraphale is just so good and brave and Aziraphale about it all, A+++ characterization.)

74. Falling – @differentjasper (T, the one where the War in Heaven changed a lot of things. Read this if you want to picture little baby angel Aziraphale and Crowley and then get EMOTIONALLY WRECKED about them. I kinda wanted to rip my own heart out just to stop it from hurting so much while reading it.)

TOUCH-STARVED/BODY WORSHIP/WINGS

75. Uncaffeinated Decisions – @suntosirius (T, the one where Aziraphale is insecure and Crowley is sleepy. Utterly heart-rending in the best way; reading Crowley being so loving of Aziraphale’s body was extremely cathartic and satisfying, and continues to deliver every re-read.)

76. And So He Bringeth Them Unto the Haven – @je-suis-em-jee (T, the one where they’re both so touch-starved it’s obscene. Pitch-perfect romance and intimacy, I could feel the affection and love in my very bones.)

77. All that’s been shown to me (Sunlight) – WillowRoseBrook (T, the one where Aziraphale needs some convincing that being soft is good. I’m especially weak for softness being praised, so this one hit me like a nail between the eyes. Intense, passionate, and intimate. Deffo got that praise kink going, too.)

78. These Fragments I Have Shored Against My Ruins – @istezada (NR, the one with vague D/s themes as Crowley and Aziraphale work through their traumas together. Has wing grooming and praising and misunderstandings and communication, oh my. A veritable piñata of feels.)

79. Long For the Touch of Your Hand – sara_wolfe (T, the one where Crowley and Aziraphale Did the Do in ancient Athens and predictably never touched again because Miscommunication. Oh, y’all, so mournful and uncertain, so desperate and sweet! My skin literally ached the first time I read this, it was the best.)

80. I Love My Lover With A-- – DictionaryWrites2 (T, the one where Crowley and Aziraphale have a game that involves kissing and adjectives. Book-verse, one of those curious fics where you’re both drowning in feels and learning something. Sensual in all the best ways and so achingly loving.)

81. Untouched – @etaleah (T, the one that RIPPED MY HEART FROM MY CHEST WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE HUNDRED WORDS OR LESS. And then CONTINUED TO PUMMEL ME INTO THE GROUND FOR THREE THOUSAND WORDS. Crowley is so painfully touch-starved it kicked my own touch-starvedness into overdrive. Will take your emotions and leave them bleeding and broken before carefully bandaging them up and giving them a snuggle.)

82. a garden all their own – @letmetemptyou (T, the one where Crowley gets some much-needed TLC as he starts to process the day of Armageddon. Plaintive, poignant, and deeply emotional. Absolutely wrecked me.)

BONUS

83. High Risk, No Reward – @asideofourown (T, the one where idiots try to rob the bookshop. BAMF Aziraphale and hapless mortals, it doesn’t get any better than this.)

84. Asportation – @mazarin221b (T, the one where Aziraphale gets kidnapped and gets the best of his kidnappers. Or, rather, brings out the best in his kidnappers. Such a delightful way for Aziraphale to deal with the people who tried to put him up for ransom, the whole thing is utterly charming.)

85. A Button to Lurk – @reidluver (T, a quiet and mournful look at a possible spin on Michael and Hastur’s relationships with Ligur, and what’s left after Armageddon. Took me completely by surprise. Understated, powerful, and dignified, if you can believe it. Of course it is, it’s Michael.)

86. And So They Grew Better – JiMoriartea (NR, the one that’s about the plants! Basically has canon from the perspective of the unfortunate little plant that gets singled out for having a leaf spot. She is a delight and I’m so proud of her, and can’t wait to see her completely miss the point of future events XD)

87. Secret Agent Man – @theaceace (G, the one from the perspective of an actual secret agent who doesn’t think Crowley and Aziraphale are very good at their jobs. Baffling and hilarious and wonderful in every way.)

H/C /WHUMP/BAMF

88. The Point of You and Me – Rizandace (T, the one where you think everything is gonna be fine and then Gabriel happens. The danger is real. The emotions are real. The heart-stopping was figurative but felt pretty real at the time, tbh. Prepare to get punched in the face with your feelings.)

89. (Don’t) Say My Name – @cosmicocelot (M, the one where Crowley gets summoned by a not-nice person. M for torture. A classic search-and-rescue and it’s the best OH SNAP moment when Aziraphale finally catches up. Woof.)

90. Something Wicked – @thepaisleyelf (M, the one where Aziraphale gets summoned by a not-nice person. M for torture, though it’s supernatural and not exactly graphic. This one is an intense and wild adventure, y’all, that morphs straight into intense and desperate attempts at care and healing. The whole thing is a tender love story wrapped in a Victorian supernatural candy coating and it SLAPS.)

91. Every Demon Wants his Pound of Flesh – @dolphin-bouillabaisse (T, the one where Hastur is stalking Crowley. If hurt!Crowley trying to be brave and not let anyone know he’s hurting and bamf!Aziraphale taking care of business once he finally figures it out is your flavor, then welcome to Flavor Town, because this one is juicy. Was not at ALL expecting the ending, it’s delicious and vindictive.)

92. And we could feel, (none of it) – @clankclunk (G, the one where Aziraphale comes to grips with how Crowley knows to save him and the implications of that. Aziraphale’s entire emotional journey through this fic is so heartbreaking. But the conclusion is the exact counterbalance of healing and sweetness needed. Also Heaven is full of dicks but we knew that (except Aziraphale didn’t but that’s the point of this fic, now go read it).)

93. the wonder that keeps the stars apart – Nilmiel (G, the one where, fourteen hours after he gets the holy water, Crowley immediately has an Incident. Painful and emotional and intensely sweet. The second chapter has the best closure, even though it happens post-Armageddon’t.)

94. goodnight sweet prince (and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest) – @xoxoemynn (T, the one where Crowley needs a nap. Told throughout like a bedtime story in between the narrative and it’s such a charming effect, watching Crowley succumb to his exhaustion and Aziraphale take care of him.)

95. Fragments of Life – TheGirlWithBrightEyes (G, T, M, the series where Crowley has PTSD and anxiety, and Aziraphale adjusts. This series is a heartbreaking one and doesn’t shy away from the ugly parts of neurodivergence, but as much pain as there is, there is an equal and even greater amount of comfort and positive reinforcement. The single M is for a fic that toes the line of smut but doesn’t actually go over. Feels as cathartic as a good long cry.)

96. A Choiceless Hope In Grief – @thealphaaxolotl (NR, the one inspired by Orpheus and Eurydice. Featuring Crowley trapped in Tartarus and Aziraphale being more determined than Heaven and Hell combined to save him. One of those stories that drags you through the dark but doesn’t leave you there—at least, not alone, not without comfort.)

97. November Rain – FeatherBlack (T, the one where Crowley has a very bad time dealing with his emotions and Aziraphale is very bad at communicating. Visceral and emotional and raw and difficult to read at times with how miserable everyone is, but it does get better. It does definitely get better.)

98. Within These Walls – Elvendork (G and T, the series that you think is gonna be a fluffy “Greatest Showman” song-inspired jaunt but then comes out of left field with a sucker punch straight to the throat. Touching and thrilling and who invited Gabriel and Sandalphon, because I sure didn’t.)

99. Sticks and Stones – Kaz_Langston (T, the one where Aziraphale develops disordered eating because Gabriel is a dick. This one hurt so much, Aziraphale does not deserve what happens to him, but he does deserve the love and care Crowley gives him as a result.)

#good omens #good omens fic recs #mega gomens fic rec list #there might be one more after this #and then regular-sized fic rec lists i promise #a reasonable amount of recs #bless your soul if you actually read all of this

[T-A-C] Marte: how delirious do we need to get you in order to write a maid tier list

@t-a-c never ask me for anything ever again (you may feel free to ask me for things in the future.)

I will be rating the maids that I know of on the following criteria, on a baseline scale of 1-10:

Are they actually a maid: A yes or no question. If they are not actually a maid then they are disqualified but will still get ratings anyway because it makes the list funnier.

Modesty: How reasonable their maid uniform is. The "sexier" the costume is, the lower the score.

Professionalism: How they behave while on the job. The more they flirt with/actively torment/etc their employer, the lower the score.

Competence: How good they actually are at performing domestic tasks, such as cooking and cleaning. The worse they are, the lower the score.

Combat proficiency: How effective they are in battle. The more of a liability they would be in a fight, the lower the score.

Devotion: How devoted they are to their employer. The more disinterested they are, the lower the score.

Extra input: A miscellaneous category that does not award points, but is more room for my own observations and extra opinions.

I will be going down the line from series that I know about. I do not actually actively seek out maid content - it mostly finds me. But I'm bored, so whatever. (Don't expect to see Rem on this list because I never watched Re:Zero.)

i am not inserting images as i’ve already spent two and a half hours on this fucking awful post like three people are going to read. find images yourself

PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2 This game has at least one maid.

LUCOTTE IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 5/10 (despite being an android, she still expresses herself with a "sexy" maid-like design) PROFESSIONALISM: 8/10 (she is very serious about what she does but is a little eager to dote on others) COMPETENCE: 5/10 (seems decent enough at chores but will break brooms using them as weapons) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (trainer NPC for the Etoile class; helps all Etoiles grow stronger) DEVOTION: 10/10 (loves her friends and all her peers and will protect them with her life) OTHER NOTES: checked my vibes when we were introduced to her and basically made me admit that i do, in fact, like maids to some extent

THE AVERAGE ARKS MEMBER WEARING A MAID COSTUME IS A MAID: No MODESTY: Anywhere from 3-10 PROFESSIONALISM: Anywhere from 0-10 COMPETENCE: Anywhere from 0-10 COMBAT PROFICIENCY: Anywhere from 1-10 DEVOTION: Anywhere from 0-10 OTHER NOTES: putting on a frilly dress does not automatically make you a maid. spend money on your gear instead of trying to seduce others

MELISSA IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 10/10 (very tasteful uniform and magical girl costume) PROFESSIONALISM: 10/10 (she does maid things and treats everyone with respect) COMPETENCE: i don't remember. like at least a 8/10. it's been a while since event ran and i don't feel like reading it for this list COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 0/10 normally, 9/10 if contracted and transformed. her personal memoria implies she got darc killed at least once due to being on the front lines and not as a magical girl DEVOTION: 10/10 (she will take an arrow for darc without hesitation if she has to but darc would take the arrow first) OTHER NOTES: the first magireco event character i uncapped and four-slotted

KANAGI IZUMI IS A MAID: No (she works part-time in a maid cafe; otherwise is not a domestic worker.) MODESTY: 6/10 (as her work uniform is a "sexy" maid costume it scores lower than usual, but it could be much less modest) PROFESSIONALISM: 5/10 (she treats all customers with respect but does not behave in the cutesy bubbly way you'd expect a maid cafe employee to behave) COMPETENCE: 9/10 (excellent worker; but accidentally messed up a ketchup drawing once) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (is a veteran magical girl) DEVOTION: 0/10 (she does not put any love into anything she does and is only a part-time worker) OTHER NOTES: AABBC is a good disc loadout

CLAUDIA IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 10/10 (also wears an actual proper maid dress similar to dorothy) PROFESSIONALISM: 7/10 (is fond of napping on the job. would be 8/10 but she loses one point for flashing her thigh during a combat tournament battle to distract and defeat her opponent.) COMPETENCE: 10/10 (is very good at her job) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: (7/10; is only held back by game mechanics. has a slightly worse kit than dorothy as her big damage skill can miss. 10/10 when paired with dorothy) DEVOTION: 10/10 (she will break a few legs for her employer if needed but is lacking in empathy for non-employers) OTHER NOTES: she scares me

==================

AZUR LANE whY ARE THERE SO MANY MAIDS IN THE ROYAL NAVY

BELFAST IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 5/10 (while her skirt is fine, her top is minuscule and requires copious amounts of fashion tape) PROFESSIONALISM: 2/10 (she sees the commander sleeping once and decides to move their head onto her lap so they awaken to a lap pillow, just to see how they react) COMPETENCE: 10/10 (despite everything, she is very good at her job) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (goes to 14/10 if equipped with a HE gun) DEVOTION: 10/10 OTHER NOTES: she is not as lusty as the fandom would like to make her out to be but she would still jump the commander's bones in a heartbeat if given consent to do so

EDINBURGH IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 7.5/10 (her maid uniform is more akin to a maid cafe costume than a proper domestic worker uniform, but isn't offensively alluring like SOME OTHER PEOPLE in this section of the list) PROFESSIONALISM: 6/10 (she's doing her best) COMPETENCE: 0/10 (do not trust her with actual tasks) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (goes to 13/10 if equipped with an AP gun) DEVOTION: 10/10 (she's doing her best) OTHER NOTES: she's doing her best

GLASGOW IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 8.5/10 (it's not perfectly modest but it's much more modest than SOME OTHER PEOPLE in this section) PROFESSIONALISM: 9/10 (she reads during active secretary work if she thinks nobody is around) COMPETENCE: 9/10 (seems good enough) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 9/10 (is held back by lower stats due to lower card rarity) DEVOTION: 10/10 (even if she hates the commander, she will continue to do work just fine) OTHER NOTES: i do not know anything about this character and only just read her lines about five minutes ago as of the time of writing this assessment

GLOUCESTER IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 7/10 (while the majority of her uniform is fine, she loses three points for the strange underbust window in her blouse that seems to be entirely there to distract perverts) PROFESSIONALISM: 10/10 (she will scold the commander for staring at maids instead of focusing on their work) COMPETENCE: 10/10 (as expected of one of these maids at this point, i imagine) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (i am running out of witty comments. i will stop making them here unless i have something funny to say) DEVOTION: 10/10 (will continue to work even if she dislikes the commander but will refuse to speak to them) OTHER NOTES: did albert design her uniform or something

NEWCASTLE IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 6/10 (looks more akin to a maid cafe uniform than a domestic worker uniform) PROFESSIONALISM: 2/10 (very friendly and flirty. easy to get along with) COMPETENCE: 10/10 COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 8/10 (loses a point for rarity, another for having anti-air mode in her kit) DEVOTION: 10/10 OTHER NOTES: friend

SHEFFIELD IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 10/10 (finally a normal uniform) PROFESSIONALISM: 9/10 (while normally curt, she loses a point because of a distressingly weird scene in the anime where she nonchalantly flashes her peers during underwear discussion) COMPETENCE: 9/10 (loses one point due to being trigger happy) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 DEVOTION: 0/10 (rises to 2/10 when oathed) OTHER NOTES: wow i don't trust her at all actually

SIRIUS IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 2/10 (this is just getting ridiculous) PROFESSIONALISM: 0/10 (it appears everything she knows about being a maid she learned from pornography) COMPETENCE: 7/10 (despite everything, she's still relatively good at her work) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 DEVOTION: 15/10 (a little too devoted) OTHER NOTES: you have likely seen fanart and pornography of her without even knowing who she is

DIDO IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 1.5/10 (imagine albert designed a maid cafe uniform and you have dido) PROFESSIONALISM: 3/10 (she has severe anxiety issues that get in the way of her behavior but is at least not actively trying to jump the commander's bones) COMPETENCE: 9/10 (is good enough at her job that her anxiety makes her think she's being ignored because she isn't being watched all the time) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 DEVOTION: 30/10 (this is fed into due to her anxiety and fear of being abandoned) OTHER NOTES: albert really should not be allowed to design outfits

CURACOA IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 8/10 (drops to 3/10 after retrofit) OTHER NOTES: it's incredible how little i seem to care about her and curlew

CURLEW IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 8/10 (drops to 2/10 after retrofit; lower score than curacoa as she is in a more seductive pose) OTHER NOTES: see curacoa and replace "curlew" with "curacoa"

==================

FIRE EMBLEM fire emblem fates was a mistake

FELICIA IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 7/10 (the nohrian maid outfit is nice but still a little fetishy with its short skirt and stockings making it resemble a cafe maid outfit more than a domestic worker uniform) PROFESSIONALISM: 6/10 (she's trying) COMPETENCE: 0/10 (not very effectively) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (while a bumbling fool in domestic chores, she's skilled martially) DEVOTION: 10/10 (she will follow you even if you decide to defect from nohr) OTHER NOTES: heroes introduced me to her and i bought conquest to have her hit things in a good game and also to marry her

3 - TV shows

Top five TV shows!

I have trouble ranking things but I'll give it a shot

1 - Puella Magi Madoka Magica

2 - Steven Universe

3 - Milo Murphy's Law

4 - Gravity Falls

5 - Over The Garden Wall

There are lots of other shows I love, but those would probably be my top five

And now I'm gonna rant about them for a bit lol-

Puella Magi Madoka Magica has become my favourite TV show. The story is so incredible and I can't help but adore it. Some things I should mention is that there's one homophobic character, there are religious elements and there is a lot of death so if any of those things are triggering for you, maybe don't watch this show. If anyone knows anything else I should mention, let me know, I know this show gets pretty dark. Anyway, back to ranting. This show has such a good plot, such good foreshadowing and character development, such a fascinating world, such good symbolism and the art is so cool looking (especially the background art and the art in the labyrinths). I haven't seen Magia Record yet but I plan on checking it out soon because I love this show so much. I also really like the character design, the only reason I haven't made much fanart for it is because the outfits are very detailed so it's tough to draw. Madohomu is one of my favourite ships I just aaaaaa they

Steven Universe is a very popular show so I'm sure most of my followers have heard of it but I need to rant anyway. I don't personally like Future, but from Gem Glow to Change Your Mind, this show was so well-written, had so many good songs, had such beautiful art and character design, had incredible character development, such cool worlds and creatures and spaceships and just wow. Also the LGBT representation is better than in most other shows I have seen, I loved Ruby and Sapphire's wedding so much it always makes me happy to rewatch. Despite my unpopular opinions on the movie and the sequel, I really love this show. I've watched this show so many times that I have most episodes practically memorized and it helps me calm down when I'm stressed or scared because I'm so familiar and happy with it.

HOW DOES NO ONE KNOW MILO MURPHY'S LAW PLEASE GO WATCH IT! It takes place in the same universe as Phineas and Ferb but this series has much more continuity and plot and it needs a third season please. It has beautiful character and creature design, an incredible story, really interesting plot points, very nice music and can I just rant about the main characters like oh my god. So the main character right, his name is Milo Murphy, and basically he's got Murphy's Law, like he's a walking disaster, everything goes wrong around him. He's voiced by Weird Al Yankovic and he's just a really funny character because the world could be ending and he'll be like "alright so I think I've got something that can help us in my backpack, it'll be fine". And then there are these characters called Cavendish and Dakota and they're time travellers that protect pictachios like that's their job. Like, the worst part is, they have never successfully protected them because Milo always walks by and then the plants will die or shipments will get ruined or whatever so they start to suspect that Milo's some kind of supervillain that hates pistachios. This show is amazing and so silly and please watch it please.

Gravity Falls is also a pretty popular one. I really love how creative it is and I love the art and the story and the characters and just it's really good. I really love that this show focuses a lot on family, it's really sweet. People talk a lot about Bill but the other villains are neat too, I really like .GIFfany and the gnomes are very silly and, while he is annoying, Gideon is very well-written. This show is also very funny and creative and I'm just a big fan of it. Also no one ever talks about Soos and Melody but they are really cute together and I love them aaaaaa. I don't want to spoil anything but can I just say that the Author is my favourite character? Not naming who that is but yeah they're my favourite. I love the foreshadowing and the small details and the cool backstory and the character development and all of that. Just... brilliant.

Over The Garden Wall is a show I found pretty recently I think. I had seen it compared to Gravity Falls and got curious. I've noticed it a lot on Tumblr so you might have heard of it, but it's a show that takes place during the fall so it's a good time to watch it. It's a bit spooky but it's a kid's show so it should be okay to watch for most people. It's a very mysterious and interesting show, I love the art and the story and all that. I'm planning on being Wirt for Halloween and carving a pumpkin to have a face like the rock facts rock because I think that'd be fun. I love the story with the Woodsman, I love the idea of the Beast, I love the music and the characters and just- this show is very cool. Please at least listen to the soundtrack oh my goodness it's beautiful.

A Self Fulfilling Prophecy! Sixty one chapters (no, I didnt mean to write that much but it just happened) and nearly 1,200 kudos as of now! it’s one of my favorite fics and one of the few that I posted! p5 is a current hyper fixations and im writing more for that series

5. What fanfic of yours should everyone have read?

See above lol

13. What is your planning process?

Come up with plot, come up with beginning and end and how the middle should go (in theory), and just add some character arcs along the way

22. Do you listen to music during your writing process? What music do you listen to while you’re writing?

OH YEAH MUSIC FUCKING HELPS! It’s really depends on what im writing, but the Madoka Magica OST like Dectrum, Another Episode, Venari Strigas, Magia (for character development/revelations/relationship scenes in particular), Hollow Knight OST like the Pale Court, Daughter of Hollownest, Lace, Bonebottom, (Fight scenes and descriptive settings) and the Oh Hellos like Cold, Passerine, Boreas, Notos (for general ambience).

Past! It’s an old habit from grade school

41. What is something you don’t like about your writing?

Sometimes things just don’t work right! Like the pacing seems off or the words get repetitive or worse, I will literally just forget words (adhd :/)

43. Guilty pleasure tropes and scenarios?

That one character that doesn’t get to develop their trauma in the canon series so I will be the one to write it (I’m wrote 61 chapters about this alone), big magical scenery, found family, hurt/comfort, ANGST

44. Does fanart of your fanfic exist?

I don’t think so :( but if there is and someone finds it please please PLEASE tag me I wish to see!!!!

50. Can we get a teaser for an upcoming chapter

“But his half lidded, ghostly eyes looked so nice illuminated in orange light from the desk lamp. The bruises looked so pretty against his pale skin, looking akin to watercolor paintings. The thin frame looked oddly lovely as he pulled his knees against his chest, gripping onto the pillow tightly with slender hands (he looked so small now, despite them being so close in size). His breathing is slow, meticulous, calm but subtly frightened like a small child. Dark curls obscured the murky gray of his eyes as he let out a quiet sigh. “

#THANK!!!#I wish to gush about my fics but I dont wanna bother anyone....#also it is my dream to have fan art of a self fufilling prophecy and I WILL cry if anyonedoes #ask #asks #dani speaks

hello my name is *yells about Furuba*

I dunno what I’m doing but I have Feelings so let me rant about them, by me.

Some of y'all may not know that Fruits Basket is my favorite series on the planet�� well you do now. That comes with a caveat of favorite manga, not favorite anime (that honor goes to either Noragami or Chihayafuru, with Madoka Magica as an honorable mention). I do also love the anime dearly! But comparing them is like apples and oranges, horses of different colors, etc etc, not least because the anime was made before the manga was barely halfway through. futile hope springs eternal for a full remake. So most of my feels rant will be manga-centric although the general feels apply to the anime, and uh there may be spoilers idk it’s been out for a long time???

The first volume came out in the US five days after my *deep breath* 15th birthday. I got it for the next year’s bday present from my big sis, aaaand that was when the gates of otaku/manga hell swallowed me up (I was somehow unaware that Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh were also Japanese pop culture, go figure.) I have no memory of how I found the anime– my anime-bittorrent-whateverthefuck knowledge was nonexistent but I don’t think it was airing live. I got the box set for some Christmas but that would’ve been after I was a massive fan so *shrug*

Anyway I watched the dub first and holy hell if I wasn’t planning to marry Yuki Sohma before then I definitely was after that, thanks Eric Vale. (I still have huge love for the dub cast fight me). Yun-chan was my first 2D crush and tbqh I’m still in love with him. Also I stg he’s the whole reason why pretty boys are a Big Thing of mine. And wait omg Shigure’s first appearance?! Like, that’s probably why dudes with glasses are also My Thing wow I just blew my own mind but moving on

Fun fact I couldn’t choose between Kyoru or Yukiru bc they were both cute (present me@young me: u will realize eventually grasshopper) but I was 100% cool with Kyoru happening because of course then I could be with Yuki. Cue me dabbling in a few paragraphs of self-insert fic.

uh lemme cut this it’s becoming a novel

Random things (this whole thing is random wtf):

I was blessed enough to get my hands on the entire Tokyopop run, plus the fanbooks!!! before they shut down. I’ve been warring with myself for ages over whether to start collecting the Yen Press specials but. my resolve is weakening. I also have all of Takaya-sensei’s other stuff yeet (Phantom Dreams, Those with Wings, Songs to Make You Smile) except for Twinkle Stars which I’m def gonna get and OBVIOUSLY THE INSTANT FURUBA ANOTHER COMES OUT IM GRAB meanwhile if I remember to check out the scans

been a while since I reread it(it’ll be my third one~) but off the top of my head some favorite arcs etc are: obviously the major one at the end of vol 6. The Red Cap. Hatori and Kana (RIP ME) The Summerhouse (Jason the bear jfc). Akito’s reveal. Kyoko and Katsuya’s entire thing obviously (EXTRA RIP ME I’m crying just thinking about it). “The plum on your back” scenes. Kyo and Kyoko. THAT FIRST NEW YEAR’S WHEN YUKI AND KYO RACE BACK TO THE MAIN HOUSE BECAUSEtheir girlfriend MY DAUGHTER IS SAD AND LONELY AND THEY MAKE WISHES ON THE ROOF heck me upppp– also literally all roof scenes (karate kid Tohrutm) BUT THAT ONE HHGBNCCSV!!! Also my fav episode along with the AU-ish final 2.

Furuba fandom is my biggest fleet of ships by far which is hilarious bc I have a lot of fandoms and a lot of ships and you can see them bc i’m a derp but since nobody looks at that and nobody will read this (?) I’ma talk about them here. I DO WANT I WANT YO

but seriously I support

literally all the canon ships except HanaxShishou, pardon me Takaya-sensei but why. Wtaf.

a metric fuckton of non-canon ships bc of COURSE I DO

my low-key ships include

MomijixKagura. pairing the spares if you will XD

KaguraxTohru

RinxTohru. yes I have bi Tohru headcanons mmkay

Future!Kisa/Tohru (blame this fic)

KyoxUo.

YukixHana. all symmetrical-like (but wow i forgot i highkey shipped it for a while until…)

GurexAaya. like, come on. Also poly Mabudachi Trio

MomijixTohru. they’re super hecking cute ok, edging into high-key

my high-key ships include

HanaxUo. ok this??? is a big OTP, and 99% why I’m hella salty over HanaxShishou (at least KurenoxUo had an actual subplot!!). They are Tohru’s adoptive moms and I will forever protec (and yet. HanaxTohru and girls OT3 are also Good Ships but tbh super low-key) also I MADE SOMEONE SHIP IT

YukixTohru. see the start of this post way up there somewhere

KyoxYuki. my first rivalshiptm

HaruxYuki. “He was my first love” one cannot simply– have a character say this and not expect fans to ship. Also bi Haru is canon. lotta bi folks up in here imo

KakeruxYuki. CUTE GODDAMN DORKS WOW

But my flagship, my OTP to end all OTPs and my polyship to end all polyships in any fandom is the SS Yukyoru. KyoxTohruxYuki.

I’ve had polyship predilections for 6-7 years now, though it’s more recent I’ve started polyshipping every love triangle i encounter bc I‘m so done with them… there wasn’t really any lightning-bolt moment when I realized I shipped them much more together rather than apart. but like, I ship all three permutations so at some point my brain went HERE’S AN IDEA which tbh is how a lot of my polyships happen, i mainly have OT3s (if I ship 2 outta 3 there’s a good chance ima poly it)

but anyway! there’s absolutely no way to convey how much I adore this ship and IT’S A HUGE EMPTY YACHT I NEED CREW MEMBERS PLZ

I am building it up one fic at a time and if you’ve made it this far and have any interest at all plz read my shit and general Furuba screaming is appreciated as well of course!!! (also look at the most beautiful piece of fanart ever)

More fic! have my mixed bag of bookmarks (Sure For The Axis is my absolute fav, 2nd is Little Prayer) u can also find my Yukyoru stuff on AO3 ehehe~ and oh look HanaxUo!

and holy whoa i’m done. TLDR FURUBA IS THE BEST MANGA EVER AND YUKYORU IS THE PUREST RARESHIP EVER

THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT

#Fruits Basket #JujYblather #Furuba #Natsuki Takaya #Yukyoru #why not lmao #apologies to mobile dashes oTL #Kyo x Tohru x Yuki

Besides Crash and Rayman, what else do you like?

Oooh let me do a proper list!

Croc (From Croc Legend of the Gobbos - Croc 2)

It’s a lovely platformer where you play as a Crococile (called Croc) who got adopted by furballs named Gobbos.

The story? The evil wizard Baron Dante (one of my favourite villains along with Razor!), fed up of seeing the Gobbos around, decides to scatter them around and to capture Rufus, the king of the Gobbos (and Croc’s adoptive father to an extend).

The series sadly died out, the previous company going bankrupt, as the current owner of the series refuses to do anything with the game series... I still try to do fanart and roleplay to keep the legend going!

Well, I don’t roleplay as Croc himself, but as Baron Dante! You can pass by to say hi :D

The game kinda suffers from bad controls and glitchy cameras, but honestly it’s worth a try. ;D

Mario (Do I really need to specify the games?)

The very first fandom I got into, and still is! Not as much as the Rayman and Croc one, but you get me.

Fave characters are Waluigi (number waaane!), Luigi (protect him at all cost) and Bowser himself!

Kirby (dittooo)

It was more in the past, but I still adore these series. :D Did you know that Meta Knight was the main inspiration from where my username came from? ;D He’s also my fave character as you could have noticed...

Oh, as much as I love the games, the anime was a big part of my childhood. Should rewatch it someday!

Pokemon

This one goes on by waves- sometimes I’m 100% into it, other times I let it by the side, completly uninterested. I’m in the second phase lately, but the current pokemon anime in Alola keeps me linked a little to this series!

Banjo Kazooie, Conker (Rare games)

I was more into these when I was a teen! (Yes, even Conker... Didn’t finish it for obvious reasons, was way too young for that)

But I had so much fun playing the two first games, and would love to give a shot one day to the third one, even if the fandom will say how bad it is... I don’t care, the music remixes they have done is a marvel!

Didn’t get my hands on Yooka Laylee, this said...

Steven Universe

Can’t really say I belong in the fandom, but I’m just a casual fan who adores the series- no matter the flaws some people will mention concerning the animation mistakes... It’s just a shame there are so many hiatuses lately. :/

Dangan Ronpa

(This reminds me my best friend offered me the last game and I still didn’t find the time to properly play it.... I should!)

I’m aware this is a huge contrast with the previous entries - not really in the fandom but maan I really got into the anime and the games. The scenario put into it is incredible, and I love how all the puzzle pieces of the plot finally get together as you play all the games. Wonder what the last one will bring me!

Could say more but I’ll just mention them quickly: Ratchet and Clank, Wander Over Yonder, Undertale (only pacifist though), Puella Magi - Madoka Magica, Star Wars... and I’m probably missing a lot but oh well I’ll stop there.

This said, you can always ask me if I know a certain series? Maybe with some luck I forgot to mention it ;D

J, L, Y?

Fandom-Related Questions

J: Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr.

Uh. Just one? I think the primary clear non-biased by other influences fandom would be Gentleman Jack. It was all over my dash and I didn’t even think Sophie was pretty BECAUSE I WAS DUMB I HAVE LEARNED THE ERROR OF MY WAYS but like...lesbians? that kind of overrode the Bandit is not a fan of historical period shows and I gave it a shot. And fell in love. Because it’s Gentleman Jack. And I want to buy it. And it was exactly what people said it was. But yes. That one.(Hannibal gets complicated by the rp community I was part of at the time - which is arguably still on Tumblr - and then JTV gets complicated by a tumblr friend telling me I should see it back when she was writing Petra...and then I didn’t until there was a bunch of Roisa stuff all over my dash. So those both still count but there’s a lot of bits and pieces to them as opposed to Gentleman Jack which was purely hey, historical lesbians all over my dash, I should look into this.)

L: Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for?

Hm. Depends on fanartist vs. fanauthor.

If it’s fanartist, I’d ask for something from Luisa and the Fox. I’d ask for fox!Rose with Luisa. Because that’s adorable and cute and adorable and I love them? Maybe that first kiss scene - Luisa with her hands in the fox’s fur and pressing a kiss to her forehead and the fox pressing her cold nose at that spot where Luisa’s jaw meets her neck - or the scene with baby!Luisa trying to catch the fox’s tail and the fox playing with her and them cuddling up together because that is probably the most adorable scene I’ve written and it still just gets me choked up because how cute sorry baby!Luisa and the fox is adorable and it’s one of the few things that stays adorable to me. But? Generally speaking, fanart of Luisa and the Fox would probably be my request.Fanauthor requests are harder because most of the ideas I have are ones I...would probably write myself, unless I thought it was outside of my personal writing strengths or I thought the other person would write it better (and even then, not necessarily, because my writing it would be a growth opportunity, so...yeah). So then it’s like...which of my ideas would I want to abandon?...Moulin Rouge! Roisa. Just because I did so much Moulin Rouge! like stuff with Jess and dealing with that general subject material that as much as I would like to maybe read something like that (Rose is Satine and Luisa is Christian, if you want to go the easy route, OR YOU CAN GO THE HARD ROUTE and have Luisa as Satine and Rose as Christian, which I think might be ooc unless you use Clara base for Christian, in which case it does kind of work - and in hard route, Emilio actually works better as Zigler and Rafael can be the Narcoleptic and Jane the asshole who tells ...why can’t I remember his name that Luisa is totally in love with Rose and said asshole can be...Allison is probably a better fit here than Juicy is but if you want to go for super creepy you could make it Elena and make it less about wanting Luisa and more about wanting the Moulin Rouge, which should really be the Marbella in this situation, etc. GO THE HARD ROUTE).--or someone take my mess of a fic of how many timelines is it for Puella Magi Madoka Magica and show point-by-point what Homura tries and how each of those little things have different effects on what happens in each timeline but also how they don’t really work - and actually, come to think of it, this one might be better split among a lot of writers, one for each timeline - that should really be a colab project.--or the Noir-Timeless fusion fic, but I actually want to write that one.So probably the Moulin Rouge! Roisa fic.

Bite the bullet and kill Luisa off.

Y: A fandom you’re in but have no ships from.

Define fandom you’re in.

The only fandom I feel like I’m actually active in is JTV at the moment, although I’ve been in other fandoms. I think maybe the closest you’ll get from this is Hannibal - and while I plan to use Marlana in Falling and while I have written other ships in the rpc (and there’s that Roisa as Hannigram fusion fic I’ve been brainstorming off and on), when it comes to canon? I don’t really actively ship ... well, okay, wait, there’s Jack and Bella. Dangit.

Uh.

Hm.

HM.

This is hard.

I’m not really in a lot of fandoms. Frozen had Elsanna (but not canon because ew incest no, but give me an au setting where they aren’t related and have at), OUAT is OUAT, Hannibal is covered above, WFRR is a REALLY BIG DEAL TO ME DON’T JUDGE ME (Bandit why do you keep putting Jess in stuff BECAUSE I LOVE HER OKAY), The X-Files is so ripe for shipping it’s not even funny, maybe Timeless? I don’t like Lyatt because I don’t like Wyatt (I don’t dislike him; I just dislike love triangles) but then you have Riya and, UH. Gentleman Jack definitely has shipping. Noir has that...huge love triangle fic I wrote and haven’t posted that wasn’t about the love triangle but ugh.This is ending up being a lot of fandoms where I have ships instead of a fandom where I don’t.

Uh.

The Haunting of Hill House? Maybe? I don’t actively ship -- well, I crossover ship Theo with Susanna but only in the context of that one fic.Um.OH. HARRY POTTER. THOSE SHIPS EXIST BUT I DON’T ACTIVELY SHIP THEM AND DON’T ACTUALLY ACTIVELY REALLY CARE ABOUT THEM. I may defend Severus Snape and his love of Lily Evans but I like it how it is in canon and idk if I’d say I ship it. I don’t ship Lily with James, but while I can ship it from Snape’s side, I don’t have enough of a full story there to get me actively involved in--Ugh. Maybe I ship that, too.

I don’t know. This is hard. It’s hard to say that there are fandoms where I don’t ship anything because my pool of actual active fandoms is small and I have a tendency to go with canon ships or ...what is the word not actively ship, like I do with Roisa and TNT and Kyomami but still kind of yeah, okay, I can see this and it works okay and just side ship it without actively shipping it, so it’s hard to find something that I don’t have any of that side shipping with because in most cases, there’s something that I just yeah, okay and go along with even though I’m not actively pursuing content or actually caring much about it.I don’t consider myself a shipper, but it’s hard to find a fandom where I don’t at least in some small part ship something, even if I don’t care much about the shipping aspect of things.

#butimnotasexyrussian #meme response #bandit answers questions #bandit #on shipping it's like how i'm biromantic with a heavy preference for women #and you have the HUGE shipping response similar to how i feel about women and how amazing and wonderful and etc.#vs. the 'i kind of ship this but don't really care' response similar to how i feel about men and how most of the time it's 'okay maybe this #one' -heavy sigh-#(which is not me trying to leave nonbinary folks out i know that's a very binary explanation and i'm sorry for that)#why is this so complicated friend

Sorry if this is annoying, but Tumblr didn't eat my ask? It was, I believe what you might do differently from your Magical Girl au if it were a straight Madoka AU.

٩(◕‿◕｡)۶ OH MAN PUT ON YOUR SEATBELTS KIDS, IT’S MADOKA MAGICA TIME.

So, the big question is of course who would be who. Which really seems obvious at first blush, but a lot of the different characters and their relationships with each other can be interpreted as a lot of the different Bokumachi characters. Specifically, Satoru can fit into a lot of roles. I’m going to start with the obvious and hopefully work the way down, showing how a lot of them could be SatoKayo, KenSato, SatoAiri and YashiSato depending on who you put where.

Satoru as Homura, Kayo as Madoka: This is probably the most obvious choice – and I’m happy to see that there’s even fanart of them filling this role! There’s a lot that works here; Satoru going back in time to keep Kayo safe, becoming more cold and jaded as a result of her death, becoming increasingly desperate. Being the only know who knows the truth and the danger they’re all in, but not being able to say anything. If we slot Yashiro into the Kyubey role this works surprisingly well.

My only problem with this is that past the time traveler mechanic, I don’t feel like this fits them all too well. Specifically, I think if you look at the role that Madoka played in the original timeline – and where they ended up at the end – I would propose an alternative.

Kayo as Homura, Satoru as Madoka: Okay just hear me out though. We have to keep in mind exactly how they met – and in that original timeline, it was Madoka who was the bright and outgoing confident one, and Homura was shy, isolated, and hoping to disappear. Here’s the scene where they first met, for reference. Their relationship literally began because Madoka saved Homura. And Homura was only able to become that strong, confident person because Madoka was there for her in the beginning. (Well, and Mami, who I guess would be Kenya in this situation – which makes some scenes weird.)

Plus, we have to consider the roles they play for each other at the end. Ultimately, Homura isn’t enough to stop Kyubey/Walpurgisnacht. It’s Madoka who has to sacrifice herself – to make “a world without me” – in order to accomplish that. She has to disappear, but in exchange, all of her friends are happy and safe. The antagonist – Kyubey/Yashiro – gets what they want (Satoru’s “death”/Madoka’s wish) – but it doesn’t give them the end result that they wanted.

Kenya as Homura, Satoru as Madoka: Frankly, you could make this argument for Satoru and Kenya as well, and it arguably works better. You can trade “Madoka saves Homura” for “Satoru inspires Kenya” pretty well. Frankly, this works best when you consider what happens after the series – Homura continuing to fight, wanting to protect the world that Madoka saw worth protecting. Hoping that they will see each other again, even though he knows it might not be possible. Hearing Satoru’s voice in his ear, whispering: “Good luck.”

We’re going to be coming back to MadoHomu later on, but for now I’m jumping to the other main ship – KyouSaya, and how that could also work for a bunch of relationships too.

Satoru as Sayaka, Kenya as Kyouko: Hey, they’re both S’s and K’s. I didn’t notice that until now. Anyway, I think there’s a lot of ways that this could work – and I feel like the ways that Kenya is similar to Kyouko might take some explaining.

First of all, Kyouko is someone who tried to help and failed, and this affects her a lot going forward. She decided to stop helping people, that doing so will always backfire on you and hurt you somehow. I think there are some parallels with Kenya here: he did everything right when he tried to help Kayo, and got nowhere with it, didn’t see any returns. So he let it be, trusting that things will work out the way they were supposed to – which, in the original timeline, led to Kayo’s death, and ultimately to Hiromi and Aya’s. Kyouko’s blind faith also led to that kind of end.

We don’t know how Kenya reacted to the murders in the original timeline, but I think you can draw some similarities to their stories. And I think this gets cranked up to eleven when you throw in Satoru/Sayaka.

Sayaka wanted to be a hero of justice. She wanted to help people, save them. And Kyouko – although at first found it naive – began to really believe in what Sayaka was saying, by the end. She saw in Sayaka what she had wanted to do. And that’s what Kenya saw in Satoru: he asked “Who are you?” because Satoru was doing what he wasn’t, what he thought he couldn’t. And Kyouko begins to open up to Sayaka and care for her.

But meanwhile, Sayaka is becoming increasingly desperate and spiraling out of control. Kenya was the one who saw Satoru go around throwing rocks into houses and considering hurting Kayo’s mother – which I think you can draw some parallels to the train scene in Madoka Magica. You can swap out Sayaka talking to those men about their girlfriends to Satoru talking to Kayo’s mother about Kayo. (Besides, if we assume that Kyousuke is Kayo – the hurt one, the one who was falling apart that Satoru/Sayaka was desperate to save – then I think we can slot Hiromi for Hitomi and see it continue to work really well.)

Ultimately though, Kyouko/Kenya aren’t enough to stop Satoru/Sayaka from sinking into that dark water. I think you can take a lot of the lines from the Oktavia fight and apply it to Kenya wanting Satoru to come out of his coma.

“Can you hear me? Do you recognize my voice?”

“You said you wanted to be a hero, remember? Please, come back!”

“I know you’re mad. You can’t forgive anyone for what happened to you, I get it. But once you get over that, come back to us – okay?”

Holy shit let’s not even get into their character song, “And I’m Home.” It’s one of my go-to KenSato songs. (This English cover of the song is really top-tier, too.)

Satoru as Sayaka, Airi as Kyouko: This really comes from the idea that the closer that Sayaka becoming a witch parallels Satoru becoming his jaded, original timeline self. Specifically, I encourage you to look at the scene where Sayaka transforms and some of the lines she says. Specifically:

“I saved quite a few people, but in exchange, hatred and jealousy filled my heart.” – I think this echoes back to what Satoru saying about Revival, about how he saves people but it always backfires on him. Plus, during the Elsa Maria fight, Sayaka notes about how “if I do it like this, you don’t hurt at all” which is an interesting tie-in to Satoru’s own apathy.

Kyouko and Airi have some similarities: like how nobody believed their fathers when they spoke, how that really affected them going forward. But Kyouko wants to believe in Sayaka, and is the one who fights to get through to her when she falls into her darkest. Just like Airi holds a hand out to Satoru when he’s deemed a murderer, trying to “snip-snip” through his cocoon.

Jumping back to MadoHomu now…

Satoru as Madoka, Yashiro as Homura: Rebellion was a gift and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. But basically, I think Rebellion can be very easily be compared to YashiSato.

Homura in Rebellion is living in a world without Madoka, and that causes her to fall further into despair and herself – becoming obsessed with seeing Madoka again. I think you can compare that very well to Yashiro waiting for Satoru to get out of his coma. And when she finally sees Madoka again – when Satoru finally wakes up, well.

This scene from Rebellion basically speaks for itself.

Yashiro admitting that he’s “waited so long for this,” and then grabbing hold and not letting go. Even tearing Satoru apart, if it means that he gets to keep a part for himself. This entire exchange is just, so Yashiro-like:

“It’s only natural that you don’t understand. Yes… no one in this world could possibly understand. This emotion is mine alone – it’s for Madoka alone!”

“I told you, Madoka. I’ll never let you go again.”

And later, when Kyubey is trying to confront Homura about what it is that has infected her – something darker that curses, something that Sayaka had guessed was “Insatiability? Desire?!” – Homura confirms what it was. Love.

All of this to say, if I made something that’s a straight Madoka AU… hm. I don’t know which of these combinations I would go with. Probably some combination of KyouSaya/SatoKen, Rebellion!MadoHomu/Yashisato? Though I really like MadoHomu/SatoKayo too, so… aaaargh I don’t know! So many options!
