Willow Fic Recs

this will be a list of non-tanthamore (or non-tanthamore-centric) recs, just to highlight some that might get overlooked in the general surfeit of love for our amazing sword lesbians :) "take me with you when you go" by madnessiseverything Elora/Graydon Elora is a goddess, and Graydon her devoted follower https://archiveofourown.org/works/44628982 "on bonding with creatures beyond mortal ken" by madnessiseverything Graydon discovers there is more to Kenneth than meets the eye https://archiveofourown.org/works/44582263/chapters/112145203 "You're All That I Wanna Breathe" by aaliona Graydon/Airk set pre-series, Airk goes to Galladoorn on a diplomatic mission and falls for Graydon https://archiveofourown.org/works/43912383/chapters/110409849 "I Need My Mum" by CrowofArcadiaOaks Boorman checks up on his mum https://archiveofourown.org/works/47228233 "i’m a wanted man (i got blood on my hands)" by saltywaves Boorman's backstory, pre-series https://archiveofourown.org/works/45852070 "on nockmaar; and how it finds a prince" by madnessiseverything the exorcism doesn't work, but from the castle's perspective that's just fine https://archiveofourown.org/works/44186320 "Resilience" by herworship429 Graydon escapes the Wyrm and makes his way out into the world https://archiveofourown.org/works/44358181 "the glory of day will hit the land like a wave" by KiaraSayre a darker take on Graydon rejoining the party https://archiveofourown.org/works/44912641 "Regret" by The_Hawk_Eye Graydon gives in to Darklora https://archiveofourown.org/works/44434135 "Like Constellations, A Million Years Away" by Storyspinner_91 A Lancer AU which if you don't know (I didn't) involves futuristic space-faring, politics, and mech fighting. super fun read, very thoughtful take on transposing the adventure to that universe. https://archiveofourown.org/works/45609868/chapters/114768031 "a star you can always keep" by rotaryshakes Elora/Graydon sweet post-season1 take on them getting together, very sexy https://archiveofourown.org/works/44418523/chapters/111721351 "Like a Vermathrax at a Vestal Faire" by cold_Artist just gonna quote the author summary for this one because it hit me like a truck the first time: "They’d lost Silas in the Pitiless Pass. Graydon had tried to stop Silas’s attacker, but all that he had to show for it was a cut across his upper chest and shoulder.

The group is forced to take shelter in Nockmaar Castle. The castle might be cursed. There might be ghosts lurking within in its halls. Whatever horrors the castle might hold, though, pale in comparison to the evil that truly awaits them:

Sex pollen." smutty and very funny! https://archiveofourown.org/works/44799145/chapters/112714258 ----- please feel free to add your own recs if i've missed anything you like, but keep it non-tanthamore-centric if you please :)

Hi pals 🌼🐶

#rocketswalkrepawt went river side this morning. I helped my bestie find a ghost net at low tide. Take a look at the video @saltywave (Instagram). It was very big. Very smelly. It looked like a giant snake but it wasn’t. My snoz is still getting over it.

Luv Rocky 🩵🐶

I don’t know why this makes me both happy and incredibly nervous

Do people connect who’s who on tumblr and ao3? Like if I comment on someone’s ao3 fic do they realize it’s me or do they think it’s some other random person? Do they know? Do they?

[tanthamoretober]

One more week of horror prompts done and dusted. Here are all the fics added to the Tanthamoretober collection this week:

Don't forget to leave a comment if you enjoyed a fic!

Multi day prompts 

Horror day 9, 11, 29 - The Wyrm, Cursed person, Cult

One Night in October, Chapter 4: The Bait on the Hook by TheLateNightStoryTeller

Rating: Teen and up Summary: On their way back from a family visit, a turn of events leaves Kit and Jade stranded in the wild. As night falls and the weather grows colder, the pair soon realize that someone in the woods is hunting them.

Days 8, 11, 19 - Witchcraft/magic, Cursed location, Voices in your head

drown out the voices in the air by saltywaves 

Rating: Teen and up Summary: “Airk said, “again?” and Kit reminded herself to fill him in later.

Jade raised an eyebrow, gave her a concerned look, but said nothing.

“Why?” Willow asked.

“I think,” Kit said louder than necessary, “that we can find something on the Order of the Wyrm. We didn’t really . . . have time to explore last time.”

Boorman nodded approvingly. “You want to loot your dead grandmother’s castle.””

or, kit insists the group returns to nockmaar, but she isn’t honest about why

Day 5: Monsters

the embers never fade by pirateygoodness

Rating: Explicit Summary: Kit doesn't see her for weeks. The girl with the curly red hair, the girl eating peanut butter toast in bare feet in her kitchen, the girl whose strong hands and sharp nails left marks on Kit's body that lasted for days. Jade.

+

(Or: the modern werewolf AU I still can't stop thinking about, but longer. Kit discovers the boring logistical challenges of full moons. She and Jade are both very good and very bad at communicating.)

Part 2 of meet you where the spirit meets the bones (tanthamore 90s werewolf au)

(Also appears under the Smut prompt Day 2 - Dry humping, and Autumn prompts Overcast Morning, Rainy Day, Underneath The Sky, Full Moons)

Day 7: Injury

What you don't know, can't hurt you by Haruka81

Rating: Explicit Summary: Kit had always wondered why Jade was constantly wearing high necked clothes and now that her relationship with Jade had finally shifted from a platonic friendship to a physical romance, with a lot of kisses and make-outs, Kit really wanted to move things further.. And having Jade constantly stopping her from undressing her, was making Kit quite frustrated.

Day 15: Isolation / Home alone

on our own by Geek_and_Nina

Rating: General audiences Summary: kit and jade go on a hay ride through a really pretty forest and run into a friend

sorry to the smut lovers, but this one is sheer sweetness Part 15 of Show Don't Tell

Day 16: Killer(s)

Camp Nockmaar by rochke11, Silver85

Rating: Explicit Summary: It’s Kit’s first summer as a camp counselor at Camp Nockmaar, and she’s more than a little bit excited to be assigned a cabin with fellow counselor and overall hottie Jade Claymore. Jade is equally excited to be ‘randomly’ assigned a cabin with the girl she spent the previous summer hooking up with, wanting more with. The campers aren’t supposed to arrive at camp for another three days. But that doesn’t stop an invited visitor from making their way through camp, hacksawing their way counselors and staff alike.

Or

The Campy Camp Horror AU

Day 17: Mask

in my head by Geek_and_Nina

Rating: Explicit Summary: Kit takes a bath after a long and hard day

she was sad

kit and all of her feelings (also appears under the prompts ‘flannel’ and ‘aftercare’) Part 18 of Show Don't Tell

Day 19: Voices in your head

like legos by Geek_and_Nina

Rating: Explicit Summary: stressed kit jade takes the lego kit apart (also appears under the prompts ‘nestled under blankets’’ and ‘overstimulation’)

Part 19 of Show Don't Tell

Day 20: Mistaken identity

These Are the Places by Geek_and_Nina

Day 21: Is it a nightmare or am I awake?

Like Diamonds Lost All Over the Ground by Geek_and_Nina

Rating: Explicit Summary: Jade had a restless night Kit had a great morning (little fucker doesn't get hangovers)

(also appears under the prompts ‘first frost’’ and ‘wet’)

Part 21 of Show Don't Tell

Wake Me From This Nightmare by Silver85

Rating: Mature Summary: The woods are filled with terrors. Jade lives through her worst nightmare.
