“You have already left kudos here. :)”

I am reading a literary masterpiece that has been written FOR FREE and deserves all the love in the world

Let me leave more Kudos!

fic finding help?

it's a ao3 dcxdp story where Maddie finds one of the hidden cameras Vlad keeps in Danny's room and assume that Vlad has been SAing their son despite Danny's protests. They go to Danny's bio-dad, Bruce Wayne (not that danny knew Bruce was his bio-dad), to help hide Danny while they gathered the resources to take down Vlad.

Swords pining for each other's cultivator is my new favorite type of pining. Love your NieYao content! <3

I don't suppose we could get Baxia or Hensheng throwing a tantrum while Jin Guangyao / Nie Mingjue are away, leaving their owners to deal with the embarrassing aftermath?

Also, do you have any recs you'd recommend with these two?

this is the exact moment Nie Huaisang realised he was going to have to start meddling in his big brother's love life (con't: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Hensheng, on the other hand, doesn't throw tantrums but WILL sulk...

I love you fics that are people clearly just projecting their thoughts about being arospec onto a character.

DBDA Fic Recs

one of the things I've enjoyed the most this year has been getting into dead boy detectives, and both writing and reading fanfic. here are some of my favourites!

(yes, they are all AUs, I love AUs)

wunderkammer - dear_monday, two_ravens

The most incredible, completely different situation to find the boys in. Don't even know how to describe it. Love the dynamics and writing style.

still my heartbeat with your bare hands - laiqualaurelote

A beowulf inspired fic that can definitely be read with no knowledge of that.

twin flame - leandra

A 90s ballet/punk au. Love this so much, so sexy. Ongoing.

prologue - singtome

LA based musician au. Lots of pining and emerging back story.

love for hire - lucrow

The iconic fake dating ballet story. I think everyone has read this by now but it's incredible.

love, in context B24-16 - experimentaldragonfire

One of my absolute favourite cute cosy stories. Love a bit of archaeology, and I love their developing relationship.

can't buy me love - Hse11z5

Fake dating my beloved. This is so good I love how they are oblivious. Also just anything by Hse11z5 is brilliant.

my fourth favourite public building to visit - lolotr

Another iconic fic, library verse lives in my head rent free.

[specific-dreamer]

you can’t see me but i’m rubbing my hands together like an evil villain when everything falls to plan

there is one (1) trans darry fic on ao3 and twenty seven (27) trans pony fics ☹️

this is madness

[menlove]

can you direct me to any good fics set in the hamburg days or just anything pre-beatlemania?

oooh yeah ! i loooove hamburg & early days fics so certainly :) i didn't include any paris fics in this even though it technically fits the bill of pre-beatlemania just bc that's a totally different vibe & genre of fics tbh

hamburg:

I Need My Love to Be Here

explicit. 8k. After John gets his first panic attack in Hamburg, he starts to realize that Paul might be the only person who can bring him back to himself.

Put My Heart Around the Bend

explicit. 60k. He nodded and they sat across from each other on the window sill, the clammy air from outside kissing their cheeks. John watched Paul as he lit their cigarettes, as he had done so many times before. They held eye contact, and John just knew Paul could hear how hard his heart was beating. But he wouldn't say anything. Neither of them ever said anything.

Like Love, The Archers Are Blind

explicit. 22k. He wants to push Stuart out of the way, not even with a violent yank of his collar like he sometimes imagines. Just to melt into his place like butter sliding in a pan. Have it be an effortless breath of fresh air when John looks up at him and sees it all reflected back in his eyes. It’s you. Hamburg, 1960.

Running with Scissors

explicit. bluewater9: Hannah, a smutlet idea… So just what happened AFTER John cut the clothes off that girl in Hamburg? What a conversation and, ahem, J/P consequence that must have been!

No More Situations

explicit. 14k. Set during the Hamburg years. John gets jealous of a German guy who likes Paul.

Everything's Different in Germany

explicit. 4.5k. It all feels upside down, like the door to that shop was an entrance to some parallel universe or Wonderland-like rabbit hole. He isn’t hiding under the covers with a flashlight in one hand, his throbbing cock in the other, and some meticulously-posed bird’s chest spilling over the pages and onto his lap. Instead he’s in some Hamburg back alley, the concrete chilly beneath his bum and his best mate warm by his side, while he gazes over naked men and pretends not to feel the unexpected interest in his trousers.

ageless children, animal sweat

mature. 5k.

Paul is sitting close enough to see properly, one elbow on the bartop, hand tucked beneath his chin. His eyes are beetle black and his long spidery eyelashes are twitching under the harsh club lights. It makes John sort of sick to look at him. Pale face in stark chiaroscuro, gleaming with animal sweat, Paul looks otherworldly, like something neither man nor woman. Hamburg, 1960. John and Paul go to a gay bar after a late show.

general early days:

Above Us Only Sky

teen. 1k. Nowhere to go but up.

Some Girls Will Make You Shiver

explicit. 4k. “How d’you suppose,” John said, in his normal John-voice, “how’d you think two girls go at it?”

On The Way To Work

explicit. 14k. How could Paul have so many dreams and one of them not come true? Paul and John, Hamburg and Liverpool, December 1960.

two of us (burning matches)

explicit. 6k. It won't stop raining. Paul doesn't know what his feelings are doing. John's practising his right swing. Somewhere along the way, they fuse together.

The Drainies

mature. 11k. Written for the prompt: John bullies Paul into wearing tight drainies and the result awakens something in both of them (Can also include some John vs Jim stuff since Jim didn’t approve of Paul wearing tight clothes).

Boy, You've Been A Naughty Girl

explicit. 49k. John makes Paul a bet. Paul takes him up on it. Crossdressing shenanigans and angst ensue, and ~feelings come out in the wash. 1961.

now and then (there's a fool such as i)

mature. 30k. users only. John and Paul on their trip to Caversham, Berkshire. April, 1960.

christmas lights (keep shinin' on)

mature. 12k. (prompt: paul takes john to the family christmas party in 1958) "I'd have you," Paul said, eventually, and John felt the air being knocked out of him. "If it was different. If we were different."

Come And Go With Me

mature. 94k. When two oblivious teenage boys meet for the very first time in the summer of 1957, a transcending bond to be passed on through decades to come makes its initial formation; a sanctuary, a home, a secret, a storm, a song, and a love to surpass the regular circumstances of time itself; it all starts in a city called Liverpool - but where will it take them from there?

also not to be that person but i WILL also whore out the first part of the series i'm writing w @forthlin here that's early days/getting together: i want you (every time that you're near)

[valewritessss]

I need every percabeth shipper out there to read Cardigan by Omnifiasco on Ao3.

[ceabu]

Isn't This Nice?

[tragically-jane-doe]

Mentally preparing myself to dig through my ao3 history for one specific superbat fic

(by chance any if the homies know it Bruce Wayne gets outed as like a homophobe (he's not he's just insanely deep in the closet) and he has to convince the league that he's not by slowly coming out as bi to everyone I'm pretty sure he comes out to Diana first in way of lasso)

Edit

Sadly I'm pretty sure it has been deleted I've gone thru two months worth of backlog and only had 2 deleted fics and by comparing ao3 history to my google history I'm pretty sure it was called different constellations (I pressed on the link like a dummy and its only showing as 404 error as the name now 😔)

(the other deleted fic was batman's playlist where that damn manwhore seduces superman by listening to wap on repeat during a workout)

On my knees begging ao3 authors to just orphan their works instead of deleting them please babes

[inkedberries]

i'm getting emotionally blue balled in this ao3 tonight

[tinyplanetss]

ahhhh i love you 17776 i love you humans interacting with the world through a unique and impossible lens and yet still having deeply relatable feelings and experiences
