Finally I can proudly introduce my hidden baby to the world!!!! 🥰🥰

Including but not limited to:

Certified obsessed idiots

Overly dramatic shirts rip-off

Actual communication

Sex as a coping mechanism

S O U N D S

Rio POV and 23 occurrences of the word “fucking” as a consequence (look, I tried not to)

The author’s  failed attempts at disguising her most recognizable mannerisms

Probably the reason why I haven’t been able to write a line these past two months

Read on AO3

Fave gg fanfic writers and why?

Ouuuuh, let me check my AO3 subscriptions, anon!! *cracking knuckles*

So here we go (not in any particular order). Basically my ‘why’s are either angst or crack since that’s what I run on. My apologies to fluff writers, it’s not personal ❤️

elisewrites @elise-jupiterstyle Why: One of the best fanfic writers in this fandom in my humble opinion. Gorgeous writing style, on-point POV characterization, amazing dynamic, dark and poetic settings, and ANGST. Like, a lot.

riosnecktattoo @riosnecktattoo Why: Queen of burlesque!Brio (Beth falling down the piano while trying to look sexy in Heart and soul is a picture that will haunt me for all eternity) but also master of angst and weird obscure kinks that are for some reason my jam (I’m still waiting for this brainplay sequel to beheading, Tay! 🧠🧠)

s_t_c_s @sothischickshe Why: Such a very unique voice and style, bizarre ideas that oddly make sense, delightful humour, hilarious POVs based on the objective fact that Beth and Rio are complete idiots. Also amazing angst when she decides to go down that route.

fireinsideforfun Why: Look. Look. A rational choice is literally the reason why I’m (still) here.

EnsignDisaster @betterhomesandhobbits Why: Absolute crackfic Master! Proper skincare had me howling, and don’t even get me started on the genius that is The goodest boy. One of the funniest writers in this fandom

convolutedConcussion @johnisntevendead Why: It’s just perfection. Humour, characterization, crankiness, lunacy, EVERYTHING, I’m telling you!

MissMaxime @missmaxime Why: One of the most creative writers in this fandom. An abiility to craft extremely cinematic phrasings and hilarious lines that I’m extremely jealous of. Oh, and see also: ANGST. Will I ever stop rambling about Ain’t no sunshine? Probably not.

Niham87 Why: Extremely gorgeous prose, original and funny AUs that I hope will be continued one day, great characterizations and stellar smut.

femalegothic @femalegothic / @bethsuglywigs Why: S M U T. Amazing outsiders POVs. But also a lot of humour and responsible sex pro-tips in the author’s notes.

whiskeyjack @whiskeyjack Why: I’m basically taking an English vocabulary class every time this woman posts something. Metaphors. See also: realistic and physically-rooted depiction of traumas and injuries  u n l i k e  a certain show

septiembre @septiembrre​ Why: Ugh, where do I start??? Amazing characterizations and voices, great writing style, in-character romance, fluttering moments between two stubborn idiots that will make you pull your hair in sobbing frustration and be like “uuuuuuugh! Why are they like this?”

fondful @fondful Why: Dark and poetic writing. Desperate mood. Aaaangst. Or you know... completely random and hilarious bagel AU where people craft penis-shaped embroideries, I mean, you can never know what will come out!

any fanfic recs of dean being a dick to beth and rio stepping in?

Hey anon!

I'm so sorry it took me so long to get back at you...

I’m tempted to say that basically every GG fanfic features  Dean being a dick to Beth, and stepping into Beth’s life is literally Rio’s hobby, so the whole Good Girls tag on AO3 is probably a good entry point. However, here is a little selection.

This post benefited from a huge load of help from the amazing @sdktrs12 aka the people's librarian. Mwah!   😘😘😘

the wedding date by civillove @blainesebastian 28k, complete AU where Beth is a guest at Dean’s second wedding and it goes as bad as you’d think

The Sacred Art of Kissing by brokensatellites @emilykolburn 3k, complete A post 2.03 fic where Rio makes a dramatic entrance as Dean tries to negociate his way back into the house

Forest for the Trees by Anijade @anijade 161k, WIP since 2021 A post S2 finale, post Boland divorce saga where Dean is still his whining annoying self and Rio is Rio

Good Sport by fireinsideforfun 12k, complete Dean is a dick with co-parenting and Rio speaks his mind. Oh, and Beth gets to sleep <3

You Should Probably Leave by peachraindrops @peachraindrops 7k, complete 2.09 canon-divergent where Rio actually kicks Dean’s ass for taking the children instead of the Brio breakup

love (where it wasn't supposed to be) by vuccijl  @lilliloves 5k, complete Rio confronts Dean about cheating in general and Beth in particular. Slight roosters fight vibes which is always enjoyable.

Shared History by brokensatellites @emilykolburn 113k, complete A season 1 re-tell with additional Beth-Rio backstory leading to Rio knowing about Dean’s history of bullshit and his patience has limits

Someone Like You by sunshine83 45k, WIP since 2019 A post 1.05 pancake lie canon-divergent fic where Beth and Rio are horny fools until Rio finds out about the cancer lie

a messy situation by freedomatsea 119k, complete A S2-divergent series where Beth and Rio try to make it work while navigating crime and Dean... deansies

Burn You by HermioneGranger1960  @medievaldarling ​ (OMG this is literally me discovering these are the same person!!! <3) 1k, complete A post 2.01 one-shot where Dean pins his infidelity on Beth and Rio gives him a little talk

Do Not Collect $200 by linzackles @mrslackles 242k, complete Rio calls Dean out on his actions (and Beth clearly doesn’t appreciate the ingerence)

Losing game by Niham87 174k, WIP since 2020 Dean is literally the worst, so... (mind the tags, lots of cw)

Filing her nails while they’re dragging the lake by s_t_c_s @sothischickshe 26k, WIP since 2021 Beth pays Rio to provide evidence of Dean’s cheating so she can file for divorce, so technically that would fit the definition

Say your prayers, you’ll need every single one by blameitonmyjuice 5k, WIP since 2019 Established Brio, Dean loses it and kidnaps Beth

blanket me by softbrio @softbrio 2k, complete Dean’s physically abusive to Beth and Rio is shockingly not a fan of it

Ultimately, I feel weird putting it on this post, but there’s also some dick!Dean bashing here:

A part of it brought to you by yours truly 151k, complete

💌 your favorite line (or lines) from a fic you've written

Harper, no, we said no fave questions, this is too hard!!!! It actually took me longer to pick a line than to hanwrite it, lol!

Anyhoo, I love literally every line in this fic, but I have a soft spot for this particular section (please ignore how shitty my handwriting is, I have cramps in my hand now)

Tutorial on how to install the floating commenting box on AO3

So for those of us who love live-commenting fics, there exists an amazing script tool created by @ravenel​ and described on this post. Basically the commenting box is floating as you scroll down the text so you can quote/write as you read without incessantly going and returning to/from a text editor.

I made this tutorial on how to install it on either Chrome or Firefox for @missmaxime​ but then I figured I might as well share it here so anyone else who’s interested could use it.

If you’re using another browser than Chrome or Firefox but know how to add extensions on it, then you can still follow part 2 of this tutorial since Tampermonkey is available for other browsers as well.

Step 1: Install Tampermonkey web extension on your browser

(You can skip this part if you’re used to install browser extensions)

On Chrome: Type chrome://extensions in the address bar. It normally shows your installed extensions.

Click on the menu button in the top left corner of this page. At the bottom there's an button linking to the Chrome Web Store. Click it.

In the web store search bar, type “tampermonkey” and select the first result.

You should land on a page looking like this:

Click on "add to chrome" and follow the installation procedure (you'll have to grant a few permissions for the process to fully complete).

On Firefox: Type about:addons in the address bar. You land on a page listing your already installed addons (if you have any).

In the search bar at the top, type "tampermonkey" and enter. It should bring you to another page looking more or less like this:
