#thanks again for the rec Anon!

[kingdomoftyto]

Anon from a few weeks ago will be happy to hear we're finally playing Process of Elimination, btw

I didn't even get all the way through the demo before I was compelled to buy the full game, it had me hooked so fast

[utopiastri]

hiiii!

soooo i read and reread all your f1 fics.

since they are all so effing amazing, well written, funny when needed, you must have a great taste in fics. sooo do you maybe, perhaps have any landoscar fic recommendations??

have a mega day!

-💫

hi 💫 anon!!! this was. the absolute loveliest ask to wake up to this morning so thank you SO much for sending it 💕💕💕💕💕

you are so kind and please know all of these compliments have absolutely made my day!!!!!

and GOD i would LOVE to give some landoscar fic recommendations, there is nothing i love more than talking about authors i adore

i very much started rambling about these fics so i'm putting my recs below the cut!

ok immediately we're off to a rogue start because i'm going to recommend a fic that isn't posted yet but @1425fivefive's upcoming fic Learned Behavior is just honestly going to be one of the best things you will ever read - i have been honoured to receive SO many wonderful snippets from it and every single one is just as amazing as the others and i am SO excited to see the full thing

i am legally and contractually obligated to put three-sixteenths by @ipleadbritney on here because i am actually three-sixteenths' biggest fan and as part of that it is in fact my job to make sure everyone has read one of the most DELIGHTFUL magical realism fics of all time, one that fills me with such joy every time i think about it, let alone read it

by love remembered by @lellabellas is just. i LOVE fairytales so much and the way this is such a gorgeous homage to fairytales whilst also being one of the most wonderful fanfics you will ever read is honestly just. a sign of talent of truly the highest degree!!!!

brevity is the soul of wit by a_new_anon because i absolutely have to recommend one of the absolute CUTEST texting fics i have ever read. i grinned my entire way through reading it and i cannot recommend highly enough oh my GOD

the devil in me by @its-all-papaya because who am i as a person if i'm not constantly Obsessed with the idea of jealous oscar piastri. GOD this fic has everything - including one of my favourite final lines of any fic like. ever

AND on top of all of these, because i am a firm believer in showing love and affection to tumblr drabbles as well, please have a few of my favourites of those as well:

I'll Wait (I'm Sorry) by @wanderingblindly because liquid reblogged this again recently and this version of landoscar has NOT LEFT MY BRAIN SINCE!!! i reread it and had to sit down lest i faint. concept of all time i fear!!!!!!!

fireworks - prompt by @foggieststars because every so often i think about what landoscar will be like when they're no longer teammates and then i remember it doesn't matter because i can just think about one of the Sweetest drabbles i have ever read about lando and oscar dealing with oscar leaving and i am calm again

immortal - osctober prompt by @nyoomfruits because sad immortal vampire oscar has actually been haunting me for the last month and i am still SO SAD ABOUT IT (but like. in a good way obviously)

ok i will cut myself off there but !!!!! anon thank you so much for allowing me to ramble on about all this writing i love so much!!!! and thank you again for the kind words 💕💕💕

also if anyone would like to not be tagged, please let me know!!!

Making the bad book club 2025 rec list and reading reviews and summaries of those books felt so strange to me, like I've become numb to romantasy drama... and then I realized why. Because this year I read The Captive Prince and no other series ever made me so incredibly rageful and feeling like I am going insane when reading the discussions surrounding it

[crystallizsch]

Hey! i'm new to the twst fandom, and i love ur work! is there any blogs like urs, that does art or writes /reader fics that u would recommend?? i'm trying to find some more to follow! thnx 💕

AAAGHGJJ THANK YOU SO SO MUCH THAT MEANS A LOT ANON 🥺💖

and welcome to twst fandom!! i hope you have fun during your stay and find the perfect corner of the twst fandom that is right for you!

also i'm so happy that you trusted me with recommendations??? 🥺🥺🥺

im not sure if you lean more into my general twst stuff (and by general i mean 99% jamil LMAO) or my oc x canon stuff

i guess i'll get you started with blogs that i personally like!! and i hope you can go from there, especially since i don't know what type of content you're particularly into 🙏

anyways i rambled on for too long ;; let me get to it below the cut:

(i'm not going to tag anyone i'm too shy and terrified so i'll just link to their profiles instead; also they are not recommended in a particular order)

(and if you see yourself here uhhh hi ily guys (platonically) 🫶🫶🫶)

(i wish i have the words right now to individually gush about each and every one of them but the brain is not brain-ing right now and i really shouldn't hold this ask hostage for too long 🙏)

/reader fics: - natsukishinomiyaswife - viperwhispered - diodellet - rooksamoris - twstbookclub - twstowo - kalims - yaksha-lover

art/ocxcanon: - midnightmah07 - jovieinramshackle - oya-oya-okay - skriblee-ksk - cheerleaderman - boopshoops - twstgo - fell-fell - egophiliac - terristre - thecoolsquirrel - rizdoodls - cheekinpermission - flipppyflopp - daily-trey - medicine-san - pointy-spiral - mintmoth - lico-arts - offorestsongs - 0honeybones0 - ashipiko - r-aindr0p

honorable mention to these blogs too if you'd like to read info about twst in general!

- raven-at-the-writing-desk - yuurei20 - mysteryshoptls

these are my admittedly not-100%-objective recommendations bc half of them are friends/mutuals and i genuinely enjoy their content <333 and i tend to particular about stuff that i like 😭

so like i said, i encourage you to look for others beyond the blogs that i recommend! and don't forget to have fun while you're in the fandom!! 💖💖💖

Just started watching suits recently and was wondering if you had any good fic recs, particularly AUs. The nature of the show really lends itself to Selkie fics imo but also I just love selkies

anon i need you to know that as soon as i saw your ask i immediately went scouring through the AU tag on ao3. i’m not gonna lie, i'm not usually an AU reader but i wanted to challenge myself to provide some recs as unbiasedly as possible.

at first observation, i noticed a lot of the AU fics were still in some way canon (divergent and adjacent)-- usually splitting off somewhere along the show or a situation where Mike or Harvey is still a lawyer, while the other was not. i will say i skipped over smut-based (omegaverse, bdsm) and lengthy fics (under 20k is nothing, anything more than 50k is pushing it for me) cause i just did not have the brainpower to even try to get through them :/

so of course the ones i ended up liking were mostly canon divergent/adjacent but i tried my best to get you something different. what i managed to dig up for you is under the cut and i really hope you like them anon (also fyi these are all pretty much marvey fics, hope that's okay!) <3 also thanks so much for the ask! i enjoyed this little scavenger hunt haha!

As the World Caves In by SupernaturalIdjit16 | Mature - Zombie Apocalypse, Warning for the usual triggers that come with zombie apocalypse. It’s not a complete work but it literally got updated today!

Here at the end of all things by tattooedsiren | Explicit - Apocalypse, Hurt/Comfort, Mike and Harvey protecting each other, Mike does shoot someone and goes a bit into the psychological aftermath, light smut towards the end

The Haunting of Penthouse B by Skara_Brae | Teen+ - Supernatural Elements, Happy ending, Mike’s a ghost…or is he?

Meet Me at Midnight by butdaddyilovehim | Teen+ - Superheroes/Superpowers, Protective Harvey, he's also Batman…need i say more?

Complications by LearnedFoot | Teen+ - Canon divergence, Fake/pretend relationship, Harvey decides not to hire Mike, instead asks for his help to spite Jessica, of course they end up falling in love

The Touch by FrivolousSuits | Teen+ - Magic, Angst, Soulmate inspired, it’s also from Donna’s pov which was super fun and interesting, as was the nature of the magic

TBR list:

Wear My Name by Lunarflare14 (Teen+) and whatever the question by tattooedsiren (Explicit) - These are both Fake/Pretend relationship AUs based/inspired by The Proposal movie! (a very good movie imo)

The Game by FrivolousSuits | Teen+ - It’s a Hunger Games AU so i am intrigued, just haven't gotten around to reading it yet

Ocean Dream by Blue_Five | Mature - i apologize for being unable to provide you with a selkie fic so the best i could do was the incomplete merperson au... i hope it's enjoyable...😅

ALL YOUR CHILDREN ARE POOR UNFORTUNATE VICTIMS OF SYSTEMS BEYOND THEIR CONTROL

A PLAGUE UPON YOUR IGNORANCE AND THE GRAY DESPAIR OF YOUR UGLY LIFE

Wow, been a second since I heard that one. That's like... late 60s, right? My dad's played it for me before.

How did the next part go again...?

🎵 Where did Annie go, when she went to town?

Who are all those creeps that she hangs around? 🎵

And then- I think I remember this a bit better, it stuck with me when I was younger-

🎵 All your children are poor unfortunate victims of lies you believe-

A plague upon your ignorance, that keeps the young from the truth they deserve! 🎵

*Kim grins, briefly, seeming rather pleased with herself, despite the relative scratchiness of her mumbled singing.*

Yeah, pretty sure that's how that goes. It's by... Mothers of Invention, right? Or is there a "The" in front of that?

[hepbaestus]

what are your fav kind/tropes of qsmp fics to read?

would love to get some recs from you!

Hiya Anon, I hope you're well!

This is such a good question, thank you for asking!

I enjoy a wide range of tropes in qsmp fics, from the tooth rotting fluff in many fitpac and pissa fics to the agony that is a lot of the purgatory fics. I'm always up to reading something once, no matter the tropes or fic length.

I'm gonna split this fic recs part into two halves; for fics that are complete and ongoing. These are some of the fics that I'll go back to several times when I feel down.

Finished fics that I will forever return to:

All This Over A Kiss? by tryingherbestpacito

Silent Stars by aerbear

Long Long Time by EmiliaExists

Ask me to bare my throat, and I'll show you where to put the knife by TastyToast

Unbreaking V by Mapping_theWorld

learn to fly by nmqisso

Ongoing fics that I do so adore:

The Crow and The Mailman by Isaac_031

Gatos e Rosas by iridescentpull

Burnt Espresso by solsays

One Like You by MassiveWaffle (JHopeissoOMG)

You And Me Were Built For Violence by Anonymous

A Gentleman's Guide to Fofoca by Skelepen

[solar-halos]

hello i saw your post about making a deep dive playlist and as an enjoyer of that fic and annie cresta, i have song suggestions:

sweet hibiscus tea by penelope scott

dead girls by penelope scott

set her on fire by elliot lee (this one is mostly for my personal career tribute annie thoughts but i feel like your version of the character also gives this energy)

don't go outside by poppy

hysteria by poppy (originally added to my own playlist because of the way the word "hysterical" gets thrown around in Deep Dive)

overwhelmed by royal & the serpent

trust me by lola blanc

not to be dramatic but i feel like i just got recognized by a celebrity, im so glad you like the fic + so flattered you wanna add to the playlist! as soon as i saw penelope scott’s name i was like oh yeah. you know what the fuck is up

set her on fire - so true i especially love this line “While planning our escape, we lost our will to trust” serving annie cresta realness

don’t go outside/hysterical - combining these two just cos i love poppy so i’m so glad you think her songs are annies/this fic’s vibe

overwhelmed - love a song about extreme emotional distress that u can also kinda bop to. so annie cresta

trust me - ooo i love this one bc of the uncertainty combined with the perseverance/resilience. also very annie cresta

thank you sm for taking the time to recommend these songs! i will be adding them to the playlist asap. i was gonna make a separate post asking this so i hope u don’t mind hijacking this ask to say this but if anyone has any annie cresta/odesta/thg/ballad playlists feel free to send them over! and if you’re still reading feel free to send any recs for this playlist, i’d love to hear them/add them! (unless it’s a taylor swift song. full transparency im not adding anything by her)

[sopherfly]

Hey, Soph- I'm new and have been reading a lot of Obikin. They're all enjoyable and gorgeous, but they are also from the top filters on ao3. I would like to read and support the lesser known fics - the ones buried under the top Kudos, Comments, and Bookmarks filter. I would prefer canon (divergent, compliant, or au of canon) but I wouldn't mind modern too.

Do you know any? Can you rec some, please? I just know there are gems there and I want to support writers, always. Thank you!

Hi Anon,

Thank you so much for this ask. I have been working on this, and I desperately wish I’d had more time to devote to it. (Things are a bit chaotic in my life right now!)

SO, with that said: this is not a complete list, but rather a starting point. I will add to this post as I am able, and expand the rec list so that more obikin authors can get the kudos and recognition they so deserve. My invitation to anyone reading this: if you have a rec, especially of a lesser known author or fic, share it! Rec yourself and your work! Share your absolute favorite obikin fic!

Without further ado, here are the authors and fics I want to recommend to start.

✨MisanthropyMuse (@complementaryhalves) writes some terrific Obikin. For a great standalone fic, check out promises, promises. ✨BrynneAgain (@brynne-again) was an LJ writer back in the Old Days of Obikin, and has posted a few of her works to AO3. I really enjoy her Series of Short Fics. ✨Dreaminghour (@dreaminghour) has so many lovely fics—and she’s especially good at capturing a complete story in a shorter format. One of my absolute favorites of hers is Three Kisses. ✨Boonki (@boonki) has a fic called i witness heaven in unholy time that is beautiful, but will absolutely rip your heart out—be warned. She also has some less angsty Obikin stuff! ✨Zaecula (@zaecula) has some delightful obikin fics. If you’re up for some second person and some angst (fair warning, heed the tags, Anakin is still married to Padmé in this one), I definitely recommend Touched. ✨Wernnaa (@wernnaa) has a fantastic in-progress fic called Recoil and Ricochet. If you have any interest in mob AUs, this is a great one, and has a wonderful mix of plot and action.

[theoldmixer]

Hi old mixer, I know you like a lot of angst. What are the angst fics you read when you want that good pain, want to cry etc?

Oo yes! I do love me some angst, especially when the angst hurts so good!

Sour Milk & the Sea (You & You & Me) by cloudy_blue

I have definitely recommended this one before but the Paul angst hurts so good!

i can only speak my mind by @paisanas

This one is still ongoing but I am AMAZED at the angst every time it's updated. Slow burn angst!

the loneliness gleaming in your eyes by turntechGodhead

This one is also still ongoing but I am a sucker for depressed Paul fics and this one is an AU that takes his depressed period even further. Maximize that angst!

Outro by bakerstreetafternoon

Oof I had this one in my bookmarks and just re-read it, no happy ending here! It hurts but in the best way!

stuck inside these four walls by clarinetta

John and Paul are trapped together during the Lost Weekend, more of a happy ending here but moments of good angst in the middle!

and somebody spoke and I went into a dream by clarinetta

I feel like I've seen this fic on a angst rec list before, but for good reason! It's been a while since I've read it, but it came to mind when I was thinking of pain fics! Paul has to relive December 8th 1980 over and over.

for though they may be parted by @downtothe-lastdrop

Another one I haven't read in a while, but it came to mind thinking of fics that hurt so good when I first read them. So well written and it's a Severance AU!

[curator-on-ao3]

An ask for you, should you choose to answer:

What is a fic you’ve reread again and again and why?

Aww, thank you for asking, anon! ❤️

I’ve reread Deeds Done in Darkness probably more than any other fic. I’m putting the whole-ass URL here for a reason that will soon become obvious: https://web.archive.org/web/20010827124323/http://www.trekiverse.org/startrek/startrek/adult/voy/DeedsDoneInDarkness

Yeah, so this fic, which I found via JuPiter Station, is so old that it was distributed via email to an alt.startrek.creative newsgroup. The first email is dated Thursday, Feb 12, 1998. Impeccable vibes from the past in this story about the future.

Beyond that, the story is a sweet, Q-assisted J/P tale. Some of the characterization and much of the sex is unlike what I would write, so I enjoy this author’s take on things. There’s also often something more peaceful about older fic. I honestly don’t know why.

Emma Woodhouse, if you’re out there somewhere, please know I’ve enjoyed the heck out of your story!

Hey hey. I saw your post about needing a wfa despite it's ooc writing so I thought I'd suggest (or talk about) a non-ooc alternative :) Have you watched The Batman (2004) seasons 3-5 or read it's comic The Batman Strikes!? In my opinion, this show is THE BEST non-comic Batman adaptation.

It's adorable and cute and funny while really capturing the essence of each characters. And it never needed to flanderize its characters to be enjoyable.

I've only ever seen clips of Batman 2004 out of context before, but it's been on my list forever. Thank you for reminding me about it, though, 'cause I definitely need more quality Bruce content.

And, wow, I had no idea there was a tie-in comic! I'll definitely have to give this a read ASAP.

Mind if I ask why only S3-5, though? Just out of curiosity 'cause skipping two whole seasons has me a little intrigued as to the quality of the show XD
