Rec #41: The Worst Man - sigmas_barber
Fandom: Haikyuu!!
Rating: T
Pairings: Miya Atsumu/Sakusa Kiyoomi, Semi Eita/Tendou Satori/Ushijima Wakatoshi, several other background ships
Word count: 10,571
Summary (copied from fic):
Tendou grins. “You know how weddings have a best man and such? Well, I’m going to have a worst man! Thank you, Tumblr!”
Atsumu snorts. “I already feel sorry fer the poor bastard whose job it is ta ruin a fuckin’ weddin’.”
Tendou smiles slowly. “That’s too bad,” he says mildly.
Atsumu frowns. He’s got a bad feeling about where this is going. “Why?”
Tendou’s smile turns sharklike. “Because it’s you, of course! You’ll have to evade the best man, too, so good luck with that.”
“Who’s he?” Atsumu says, dread pooling in his stomach.
“Sakusa Kiyoomi,” Tendou informs him.
Oh. Oh, no.
Other notes: so yeah it's tendou ushi and semi getting married and they have a best man and a worst man - and a neutral man to keep things from getting too out of hand (same for maid of honor). ngl I forgot this one existed but I just came across it again and it's so funny I have to rec it. crackfics based on tumblr posts are always top tier comedy imo
Whilst I'm more about polyships myself, if you do go in for monogamy I think the funniest trio of Origin ships is Gale/Astarion, Shadowheart/Lae'zel and Wyll/Karlach coz like
Gale and Astarion have their toxic old man yaoi thing going on and can't stop preening and puffing themselves up real big like angry cats as soon as the other one comes near.
Shadowheart and Lae'zel are literally trying to kill each other.
And Wyll and Karlach are like, braiding each other's hair and talking about how much they love saving endangered children
You know what one of the clichés (real or from movies) about scandals of middle-aged or older millionaires is?
A spouse of the children's age…..
and you know who needs a story like that….
a Bruce Wayne of around 40 years old….
yep, think about it…
at that time Dick (the oldest son) must be between 25 and 30 years old…
but let's not write the classic story of love, action and saving the world of Bruce…
no, let's write about the reaction of the Batkids to discover the secret romance of their father with who they thought would be their new brother/sister…. yep, the chaos that would be if instead of an adoption certificate, they were shown a marriage certificate…
and of course let's not forget the reaction of the media about the new spouse….
My favorite part about nightcrawler comics is the application of the law of the universe that, if a pair of swords is ever shown hanging on a wall in the background of a panel, they will end up in nightcrawler's hands
Rec #38: The Fallen Angels - pandasintherain
Fandoms: Good Omens, Doctor Who
Rating: T
Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley (background)
Word count: 37,613 (13 chapters)
Summary: A retelling of The Waters of Mars episode of Doctor Who, except Crowley is there - thus the Doctor has to deal with someone who not only looks just like him, but also isn't supposed to be there. Takes place after the end of Good Omens S3 (currently imagined, of course).
Other notes: I only just watched this episode recently myself, so I didn't put the full summary in case anyone cares about spoilers. anyway this fic is an interesting exploration of the Doctor's and Crowley's characters, and took me from "ooh this sounds like fun" to "oh no now I'm having emotions"

preview:
“It’s just a kiss, mate. Not a marriage proposal.” Max deadpans.
Oscar is the one who steps closer. “Hm.”
“It might be good practice for you.”
“Oh, so I give off the impression that I need practice, do I?”
Max’s eyebrows shoot up. “You ask many questions.”
“I like definitive answers.”
“But somehow your statements are always a bit of both. You’re still uncertain.”
Oscar crosses his arms in defiance, and mirrors Max, then. They’re so close that their shoes practically touch, so close Oscar can make out the off white of the other man’s shoelaces when he glances down and up again into Max’s curious expression.
If Max liked flirtation, then two could play this game. Oscar acts like he isn’t interested in the game, but really, he’s just lacked the opportunity to practise.
(i fought tooth and nail with my brain for this one but y'know, here it is.)
thank you @maaxverstappen and @alphatinies for the readthrough <3

Izzy's never had any social media- why the fuck would he?- but there is a facebook account out there with his name, made for him by Ed back in the days when it was the hot new thing, and everyone had to have a facebook account. Theres a sum total of three posts on there;
The first two, made when Ed opened the account, marking that he changed his profile picture (Ed's favourite of them, armoured in leather but grinning at each other, full of love, like theres nothing else that matters in the world), and that Ed changed his relationship status now Izzy has an account- "Edward Teach is married to Izzy Hands"
The only other post, made more than a decade later, is Ed changing his relationship status to single.
