#thank you very much for the ask anon

[moondal514]

hi! do you have any fic recs for the aftg fandom? ideally AUs but where the characters aren’t ooc

Anon you have no idea what kind of blank check you’ve given me with this ask 😂. For the sake of my own sanity I have limited myself to only listing 10 fic recs but please know that there are literally 100s of fics I could rec within these parameters 😂.

the opposite of hunger by constelationprize/ @constelationprize

One would think that, being a necromancer, Kevin Day would be more excited at the prospect of immortality. And maybe he was, once, before he had actually sat foot inside Canaan House.

...

Based on prompt #1, or: "the locked tomb au where kevin and riko are necromancers and jean is their cavalier. they are invited to canaan house by the emperor to achieve lyctorhood, but kevin refuses to perform the lyctoral theorem on jean. riko, on the other hand, has no qualms about it. "

The Locked Tomb au. This fic is just insanely good and highlights how well Perfect Court dynamics work for the Third House and it just blows my mind honestly

if i die young by animediac, dayurno/ @jaywalkers, @dayurno

Kevin Day is sixteen with eyes too human, a gift no one should ever have, and blood Andrew thinks would spill out black over the snow outside. He is standing in the school hallway with a dead boy at his feet, and he is going to die by Andrew Minyard’s hands.

He must. He will.

Kevin Day, singer of bodies. Harbringer of death.

Teen Wolf au. A collaboration between 2 amazing writers in this fandom and responsible for converting me to Kandreil

vengeance and death by cthulu_sun

legend says you have wax-dipped wings and golden fingernails and knives made of the blood you have spilled. legend says you are not merciful.

-

in which renee is a tired guardian angel, finds the foxes, and falls in love.

Guardian angel au. This is one of my favorite Renison fics because it’s such a cool universe written in a beautiful and unique style and I just think it’s one of the most underrated fics in the fandom

Hush, Don't Say a Word by waterwings/ @amywaterwings

Excerpt from local newspaper, January 10, 2016

A Killer Is on the Loose at Palmetto State. Are You Safe?

For a detailed re-telling of the gruesome events that gripped the Palmetto State campus over the past eight months, please see the pages below. But I beg you, dear reader, tread lightly. You don’t know what’s waiting for you, out there in the dark.

~Katelyn Golightly, Student Journalist

Murder mystery au. One of my favorite fics of all time ever across any fandom because the writing is visceral and gut-wrenching, the kind that has you holding your breath and on the edge of your seat as you read it, and by the end of the fic it’s broken your brain in the best way possible

We Can Live Forever by mostly_maudlin/ @mostlymaudlin

PALMETTO HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC FUNDRAISER

WINTER SERENADES - $5 EACH

On sale Dec. 15-17 during lunch blocks. Support our teams, and let them show your friends how much you care through choreographed song and dance!

-

Participation in the fundraiser is mandatory for all student-athletes. Maybe none of this would have happened if they weren't pushed out of their comfort zones. (But honestly, maybe it was always going to end this way.)

A story about the joys of competition, the people in your corner, and, of course, the misfortune of being a teenager in love with your best friend.

High school au. My favorite high school au in the fandom because it just makes me so so so happy and I always read it when I need a pick me up

The Real Folk Blues by moonix/ @annawrites

Captain David Wymack and the bounty hunter crew of the Bebop spaceship might be a little out of their depths chasing down the infamous hacker and notorious runaway Neil Wesninski, whose bounty exceeds even Kevin's wildest dreams. Worst of all, Andrew might actually enjoy it.

Cowboy Bebop au. Super fun au featuring the Foxes as space cowboys and copious amounts of weird Andreil flirting

Under A Sea of Mist by puddlejumper99/ @writingpuddle

For a thousand years the Lord Ruler has reigned over the Final Empire. Ash falls from the sky and strange mists shroud the night. The skaa labour in the fields and the nobility dance in their Keeps, their glittering lights blinding them to the cruelty in their hearts.

The skaa rebellion is a fantasy and Neil knows it. The Lord Ruler is immortal; there's no overthrowing him. It's as much a surprise to him as anyone else when he gets recruited. But as he gets drawn deeper into the plot, he starts to discover things that will change their understanding of magic forever.

There's always another secret.

Mistborn au. A fic whose existence still feels incredibly self-indulgent to me because it’s a mashup of 2 series I really love and an au plucked from my wildest dreams

The Sphynx and the Hare by darkbluebox/ @darkblueboxs

Neil knows he should burn Wymack's contract and run until his legs can no longer carry him. His daemon, the mouthpiece to his soul, says otherwise. He's ignored her for far too long; it's time to follow his heart, be it to dream or damnation.

Daemon au. Theeee daemon au of all time, I’ve yet to see any other daemon au in this fandom where I agreed with the choices of animals for daemons this hard

the bittersweet between my teeth by alaynes/ @nicolos

In which Neil Josten is a Time Jumper, and everywhere he goes he keeps seeing one man.

-

Neil's throat dried; the sound of keys rang in his ears, but so did his voice.

Andrew Minyard stared back at him, expression inscrutable.

Time travel/reincarnation au. Time travel au’s are always tragic on some level but this one really takes it to the next level with the way it explores Andreil existing outside of time the way they do; my go-to fic when I need to experience an Emotion™️

The Last Warm Hand To Hold You by sambutwithbooks

When Kevin Day warns him that the Moriyamas will send a monster to collect their star investment, Andrew expects something beastly.

-

Five Times Andrew Asks Neil To Bite Him and One Time He Finally Does

Vampire au. This is to me the vampire fic of all time; idk something about it is ridiculously romantic in a way I can’t help but love

-

Hope you enjoy these anon!

thoughts on the white wolf?

Warning! The following pov is strongly influenced by mun’s read and has no watertight proof in the games. Namely, Orianna having a close familial bond with Dettlaff and Regis, and her - albeit, heavily influenced by her vampiric nature and upbringing - care for her orphans. Initially, the mun thought of writing different versions of Orianna’s reaction, based on the in-game paths…but it became blunt, for Geralt gets to know about the orphanage and has a meaningful interaction with her only during the unseen path…which with the demise / exile of both her meaningful friends and kin ( or putting her home in a midst of a succession turmoil with the death of Anarietta ) gets a rather predictable, unfavourable opinion. That could be interesting too, and yet…the mun strived for more stakes and moral greyness. Hopefully, you would forgive our little caprice of leaving everyone alive ( dettlaff is confined in a cage at tesham mutna, syanna is imprisoned in a tower, under her sister's care )  and still find it entertaining. 

“The White Wolf? A witcher with a heart of gold, who fell in love with a sorceress, whose ice-cold heart he melted…there was something about a princess too, a child that was destined for him,” 

Geralt of Rivia lived up to his shining ballad counterpart, he spoke little enough and did well enough in order to maintain the presentable facade of a person who thinks, and then acts. Open-minded enough to befriend Emiel, instead of foolishly breaking his neck for a sack of gold and another glorious song. That intrigued her. It was a pity they didn’t have enough time to discuss it, was it possible her authumica had the same interest for the mutant she herself developed for human tal'es? Being looked at without fear or disgust, a mind-numbing desire to be the one who kills first or to fall  trembling upon their knees, that rendered the other species incapable of any fulfilling conversation. It was different with her children…

Interestingly, the reason for their hasty separation lay in the fact that Dettlaff harboured the same secret wish. At least he had never openly proclaimed his love for humanity ( or even society ) as Emiel did. On the other hand, the talkative barber-surgeon liked to rebel loudly, while Orianna's little ruva went his way with the stoic willfulness and quietude of a snowy-peaked mountain. There was some trouble with his beloved, who - what a scandal, what a wonderful scandal - turned out to be a human too. The evening would have been both ridiculous and pleasing, if it wasn’t cut short by the royal desire to hasten the happy ending for all…

“Witchers have not improved with the flow of centuries, I am disappointed to say. Hypocricity does not look better if it holds a sword or not,” the cultured vampiress smiled languidly over the glass of Est-Est. 

What right did he have to dictate to her how she should treat her children? What they did to their own was much more painful and serve-serving. Barbaric. The orphans at la Compassion were a source of an occasional  gourmet leisure to her, but a much more valuable source of study. Mannerisms, culture, arts. From the frightened beasts of the gutter, almost mindless, they grew into those who could alert the world with song, poetry, sculpture, drawing, even an occasional odd profession, like medicine or mercenary trade. Both were ironically held in a special regard by other races. 

She has to confess, the orphanage and the line of given education was a little self-serving, for the sun-eyed loved arts, adored the desire and the spark that a life, marked by inevitable death, gave to humans. Blood? Blood was more a ritual, an initiation into a new society. Rituals were important for adaptation. After all, if a child took badly to the procedure, was not lulled by songs or sweets, she never continued it. What the witcher took her for? A hunger-maddened, crude bruxa? What did they do to their children in Kaer Morhen? It’s a shame apa thunchultha did not break his neck, it would have been a fitting, even merciful end. It seems a local saying was true and “gods were the only ones who could bear fools”. Even if the gods were mere keepers, and divine only in the eyes of the weaker species. A fold appeared across Orianna’s marble-like forehead. Why did she take the words of some lowly, blind to the world eterau close to heart? Even remembered them? A wretched, half-baked philosophy of a creature of mutation, that contaminated both mind, reason and heart? Certainly not because she is falling prey to the humanism theory Emiel is desperately attached to…

Geralt of Rivia committed one deed, and as a true Tousaintee - even the sun-eyed vampiress loathed to admit that the laws of the merry Duchy wrapped like a vine around her way of thinking, stealthily and surely, fed by time and circumstance - she could not brush it aside easily. The witcher, who promised to bring her down - an equally rude and amusing proposition -  had prevented a ruination of her little brother, an exile of the good friend, and, if the gossip to be trusted, a civil war. Whether by his own choice and wit that was a question to be discovered. And if a white wolf would choose to be a butcher, well, she has had prepared a bottle of special spirits to give to Emiel Regis. Naturally, she would not expose an old, dear friend to an awful truth - he had enough hard choices for a millennium, if the scraps of what happened at Tesham Mutna formed a correct picture in her head. Geralt of Rivia would die from a blade of a mercenary or a claws of a monster. Not Orianna's. What business would a person of her station have in some abandoned, common, boring barn outside of Beauclair? “He promised to come back for me one day. I am looking forward to the meeting…”

AGH FASHION DESIGNER SUGURU AND MODEL SATORU W A NEW INTERN DESIGNER UNDER THEIR WING 😞😞☹️ - 🌺

WAHHHH I LOVE THIS 🥺🥺🥺 the pining and flirting and slowburn of it all… model!satoru and his favorite designer suguru geto, both of them undeniably skilled and born with an eye for fashion….. well-known and adored……..

designer!suguru who gets tasked with showing you the ropes, who’s always so patient and kind despite your inexperience. diligent with his teaching but also so laidback, so easy to talk to… he looks intimidating, but he’s so polite that you can’t help but swoon a little. and he admires your enthusiasm so much…… grows fond of you soooo quickly bc you’re just such a breath of fresh air compared to the divas he’s forced to work with all the time. he thinks you’ve got real potential and he wants to nurture it.

and ofc you end up running into model!satoru eventually…. bc he’s always hanging around suguru whenever he gets the chance. and he’s maybe a little jealous that you’re hogging so much of his personal designer’s attention, but… he also thinks you’re so cute . T_T like a little puppy following suguru around… so excited to be apart of what you’ve dreamed of for so many years……… he looks into your eyes and sees the same sparkle he had before he made it big, and it makes his heart race.

yeah . i’m just thinking abt the peaceful coffee breaks with suguru….. how he’d insist on paying for your drink, ”since he’s your senior” (he wants to be your favorite </3)…… and how he’d just be so protective over his little intern. don’t get me started on the close proximity with satoru when you’re taking his measurements, the glance and smile he sends your way during an impromptu shoot… the way he always calls for you with a sweet coo of ”how’s my favorite intern doing today?”

😔😔😔 yeahhhhhh. they make me feel ill.

[buwheal]

Raises my eyebrows. Up to nothing. Huh Spamton?

[ryllen]

Hi! I hope that you are doing well🥰💗💕 I really adore your art!! Your Yuu really wins me over to the very heart!💘💘💘

I wear lightning-shaped earrings and they really remind me of Sebek!⚡ I would like your girl to put them on and draw this🥺💓

But I also really love her black earrings that she wears when she's a teenager and green ones when she's an adult! It's really cute💕💕

And! I would be interested to know if Sebek notices when Yuu puts on other earrings or doesn't wear them at all if she doesn't want to?👉👈💗

Have a nice day!🥰❣️❣️❣️

decide ur ending, which feels more in character

[floccinaucinihilipilificationa]

Hello may 31th anon! Look at that, another year behind us and a new one to come. Have a nice day! ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡

[iridescentmirrorsgenshin]

It will never not be funny how Alhaitham said he's needed in the house of Daena and Hoyo had the time to animate Tighnari being like "...Huh?" Like, what was that for?? Was Tighnari just as confused as we are that this guy is coincidentally hanging around in Port Ormos, so that Kaveh can coincidentally run into him?? They didn't even address it in the end, which makes it even funnier.

HELPPP!! Anon I’m going crazy, alhaitham really said he was there for work, but he made time to head to a secluded area for a private talk with kaveh, and after their conversation was crashed, he helped with the plot, and suddenly had to leave?

What did his office based job require him to do in port ormos? How long does it take in game to get from port ormos, and back to the house of daena? the genshin map is notoriously nonsensical, but port ormos and sumeru city are almost on opposite sides of the map, why did he make it sound like it was a brisk stroll away?

Someone commented that alhaitham saying “see you later” was in reference to kaveh, since kaveh was the only person in frame, and alhaitham’s signature ‘see you’ is directed to the traveller, when it’s uncertain when they’ll next meet. this just makes me ill – alhaitham and kaveh LIVE together, and still they ensured that they would be able to have a private conversation when unexpectedly (serendipitously) meeting

And !!! so real about tighnari’s reaction. When reading the leaks and then seeing the actual cutscene I perceived it to be both about his curiosity about why everyone was gathered (to discuss the wedjat eye), but also about alhaitham’s sudden departure AND presence, considering that alhaitham had nothing to do with the celebrations.

The blocking here is so ?? it’s not clear whether tighnari is reacting to his confusion with what kaveh means by ‘mysteries’, since this exchange could have happened before alhaitham left, but the fact it happens after creates this ambiguity, so tighnari potentially questioning why alhaitham is in port ormos when there’s no clear reason why he should be is so funny to me

we’re told that everyone is gathered in port ormos in order for the birthday celebrations to remain a secret, but alhaitham needed to be there to progress plot, but also to be with kaveh – it was apparently essential the devs engineer a way to drop in that kaveh programmed mehrak to recognise alhaitham’s voice...? It’s hilarious and sick! <///3

[seijorhi]

RHIIII!!!! First off, kisses. Hi love, i've missed you. Second, more kisses because hello?

I will never get over how you can write something so doomed, so tragic, so terrifying -- so beautifully. I love how the reader is... just totally wrong? Reading everything incorrectly, and kind of just spiraling and feeling hopeless because she will always be second. Truly amazing scene-setting rhi because we know something she doesn't. it's just a matter of waiting for everything to kind of unravel.

My questions for you are: How did Aya react to Ushi coming out of that bathroom with unconscious reader? Do you think she sees it for how it is? Their obsession with her beta? What about when the reader's mates separate her and Aya? Would that inevitably happen since Aya will prob not agree to be in a pack with them after that incident and it's not like those alphas will be willing to give reader up either. Which leads me to my next question --> reader wanted someone who wanted her for her. now she has 3 of them. Does she soften up to the idea that she is so desired or will she always remain hostile towards her mates.

Anyway. I love you. Miss you. (i have my first ever set of law school exams tomorrow and here I am writing more in your ask box than I am in my study guides.

mwah mwah

birdie 🐦

ghfjdkhgfjdks pls do not abandon ur studying for the fics they will be there when ur done but ily and good luck with ur exam bby!!!

tbh it wasn't so much ushijima carrying the reader out, more like someone else stumbling in (the door was closed – not locked) to find a still knotted ushijima hunched over his unconscious, bleeding mate and snarling at anyone who came close.

in any case, aya's horrified – and for what it's worth, semi and tendou are pretty fucking stunned too.

for all her faults, aya's loyal. there's no part of her that would ever entertain the idea of mating with the pack of alphas who hurt her best friend, even if she can acknowledge he wasn't in control at the time.

which ofc puts her in the very precarious position of being 'in the way' and 'a problem'. doesn't usually end well for those types of characters 👀 poor aya

as far as your last question goes, it was kinda fun to make this whole thing into a twisted wish fulfilment. i think the biggest thing is that the bonds with her alphas aren't permanent. she has to go through it over and over and over again, and every time it's a reminder that she doesn't want this, didn't ask for it (not like that). they'll hurt her over and over again to reassert that claim, and they'll call it love.

[the-kingshound]

Spoilers abound, and though I will try to be as vague as possible, I’m going to assume that I’ll probably get accidentally more in-depth, as I quite enjoyed myself. Feel free to hang on to it until more people have read, I’d understand.

The wedding was good, it has a bit of a dissociative air to it that I think was a positive considering the circumstances the mc is in. I think the amount of story time dedicated to it is hits the sweet spot, since it is a political marriage of convenience rather than one of love and celebration. I’m liking the secretive/confidante air the siblings are taking on leading up to the meeting. It kind of makes it seem like the Camelot natives aren’t being ridiculous for trying to put distance between the Venegard family members (that and Ghaven’s gifts). It really shows how scared of the Venegard house in general that they are despite winning and despite not knowing who or if any of the other siblings are mages besides Adrei. Considering they are surrounded on all sides and literally smack dab in enemy territory, it really makes them look like cowards, though in the case of my MC their sheer size and demeanor probably makes it doubly hard to pretend otherwise. Can’t wait for MC to really use that to their advantage, after they’re done lamenting their current enemy #1 status (my mc especially since they wore the house colors).

I feel bad scaring the Pendragon mount but am having a lot of fun giving Arthur whiplash with my rough/stoic, militaristic MC (one second soft as can be for Mordred, the next scary, very very scary. They surprisingly share a lot in common with their House’s mount, it would seem). It’s not because I don’t like them, just because I think it’ll make a very funny story looking back.

“Can you believe I was afraid my bestie was gonna kill me/thought I was going to kill them mere minutes before our wedding?” He says, innocently, while the Hound wades through the blood of his enemies. “How silly of us,”

I’m enjoying Gywar’s scenes the most at the moment, but that’s because they hit a certain soft spot for me. MC is a sword, and that scene before the festivities is basically Gywar telling them that to them, they’ll need to be a shield. A guide, confidante, friend in exchange for a protection and the same in return. They seem to be scared to get close, but already hopelessly invested. It shows a vulnerability despite them very obviously trying to guard themself from the hound. Their desire to help is so earnest, and foreign that my mc finds themself in a similar position, yearning to earnestly return the sentiment while feeling like they aren’t emotionally built for that. They find themself at times, uncharacteristically softened, and at others characteristically direct in their desire to show Gywar that they’ve thrown their lots in together. It makes for a very powerful set of scenes (MC thinking of getting Gywar to rest the very second they’re allowed to, squeezed my little heart). Evaine’s scene was also v good, and my giant of a hound is on the look out for their bullies, Evaine is gonna make the shocked pikachu face soon because the second my hound figures it out, there’s gonna be a new world order in that court (goes for Yniol’s bullies too). Morien’s scene was more fun then I’d expected, and I wasn’t expecting them to make such polarizing and quick assessments of the MC (either A. You’re too cute to exist, or B. Nice, another bastard like me) but both made me smile. The scenes were really good at showing which ROs were more open, regardless of whether they were earnest and dispense their trust easily or not. Yniol was sorely missed, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were A. Avoiding Nobles, B. Concerned with Overcrowding MC, C. Concerned with Bedivere’s likely change in body language, D. Using this opportunity to check on their kids, or E. Taking their duty too seriously and working

please don’t be sad little sprout, you are loved 🌱 🖤

[spro-o]

forgive me if this is so random and also if someone has already said this, I'm just a rando passing through after seeing your Forman and Kutner drag drawing again, and i just want to say I fully believe Kutner's drag name would just be. Kunter. like if cunt was a verb and spelled with a k. he'd be so proud of himself and giggle a little every time he mentioned it out of drag persona

giggling, kicking her feet, twirling her hair,,, it’s Kunter 💖

[rainbow-nijisaki]

I love your Ryker drawings :’) so so cute. He’s my fav RF character.

*Ares voice* You made my day!

Really though, thanks! This really means a lot - Ryker is my personal RF fave as well (and then some) so I'm glad if I can do him justice when I draw him.

That said, perhaps I ought to share more Ryker here, so here's a little something from today!

[codenamesazanka]

What are your favorite Spinner panels? (definitely not just me wanting to ogle him)

My favorite Spinner panels??????? I have so many!!!! He's soooooo cute!!!!!

I really like one from Chapter 224. I always think of it when I think about how cute Spinner is. It's just him in a panel with everyone else, but he was just drawn so round and cute???????

I love him not having his mask on as well!!!! The left one is from Chapter 115, after Kamino, when the League are scattered and laying low and he looks cool there, with that leather jacket, but also very calm there. What is he thinking??? The right is from Chapter 223. Look at his hair!!!

He's got such fun expressions too. Here's him being angry in Chapter 220; but also demonstrating his self-deprecating awareness - he readily admits he's empty. Spinner...

And immediately afterwards, he's grabbing Shigaraki to yell in his face. This is iconic to Spinaraki, but it's also one of Spinner's own defining moments - he reveals himself to be desperate for change, for a purpose, for a leader. He's willing to follow Shigaraki if Shigaraki can prove himself. These panels are the true start of My Villain Academia where we begin Shigaraki's journey of coming into himself, for better or worse.

Iconic!!!

Other great faces:

THE BLUSH.

The finger licking.

The sword-bite.

No face because his headband flies into his face when he's trying to have a serious moment with Toga!

Which is another fav panel because that's him trying to comfort Toga after Twice's death. Dabi is preoccupied with his Dad, Compress is worried about Toga but was unsure how to handle running off, and here was Spinner, stepping to the task to tell Toga that she wasn't alone, that he trusts her, and that she has to come back to them. 😭

AND I HIT THE IMAGE LIMIT??? Unfair. will reblog with more.

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

Ari do you think Suguru is a freak?

absolutely yes 😭😭 i don’t think he’s normal even in a no curses au ….. and i don’t mean that in a bad / scary way at all i just think he feels things very deeply and that makes him feel a bit … intense sometimes? like he’s a bit of a freak just in how fiercely he loves you i think …. but then obv . depending on the au he can be much freakier 😭 overall i’ll die on the hill that sugu is a sweet man but he is not normal god bless

[buwheal]

...Unfortunately, no. I don't doubt that you hear something, but we can't hear anything on our end. What does it sound like?

(If you’re going to help out, it’d great to also add something to distract him :-) )
