Authorâs Note: pardon the ridiculously long title. đ„Žđ âFem!Readerâ applies to Tengen only.
when you grab their chest â akaza, douma, muzan, kyojuro, giyuu, tengen
Akaza x Reader, Douma x Reader, Muzan x Reader, Rengoku Kyojuro x Reader, Tomioka Giyuu x Reader, Uzui Tengen x Reader
Word Count: ~900
CW: dark humor, Fem!Reader, mild sexual content
Suggestion Fulfilled: I have a requestđ€ I recently read a certain ass slapping fic which I adored could you do a similar fic with the same characters +giyu and Douma with the reader coming up from behind the and squeezing their man tiddies
~faqs~
I 100% wouldâve used MAN TIDDIES in my title, but figured Tumblr would hide this post from tags if I did, so I went w/ âchestâ instead đ
Also, some of these are canon compliant â Muzan, Kyojuro, Giyuu
While others are set in modern au (alternate universe; modern setting) â Akaza, Douma, Tengen
AKAZA
Immediately tenses
#noice đđ after all, the man is ripped
The more Akaza tenses, the more you wanna squish
Except, itâs kinda hard to squish pure, flexed muscle ?? đ
âAkaza, my love, could you relax?â đ„ș
Heâs still confused, but my love automatically has him at your beck and call, so-
He relaxes
*gleeful squeal* đ *squish squish* đ
Aaand heâs tensed again
If you actually take the time to explain yourself, then heâll be absolutely embarrassed flattered
Lowkey decides to do an extra 100 push ups daily, just bc heâs so darn in love w/ you đ
DOUMA
Doumaâs been waiting all his life for you to grab his moobs
So like
Heâs one happy camper !!!!! đđ„ł
âall his lifeâ = since he met you
As for âmoobsâ? I had to, just once đ
Slowly flexes them so he can hear your amazed gasp đ
âAre you drooling?â he smirks
âFuck off,â you scowl
You try to withdraw your hands to wipe away your incriminating drool đđ€€
But he doesnât let you đ€Ș
He squeezes your wrists, grinning widely to himself, âDonât leave me.â đ
âBut Iâm done,â you grumble, resting your forehead between his shoulder blades (youâve already accepted your fate đ€ )
âIâm not,â he retorts, âNot even close.â đ€
Translation? Douma wants you to massage his pectorals
#pretty pls and ty
MUZAN
Once again, Iâm presuming youâre a demon, and Muzanâs immediate reaction is to slice off your hands đ
Thank gosh for regeneration! đźâđš
Youâve gotta quit surprising him đ€Ș
I mean
Yeah
He enjoys when you touch him đ
BUT, he has a reputation to uphold, and being startled by your random displays of physical attention doesnât exactly help đ
The implication that he lets his guard down w/ you (bc how else could you ever hope to genuinely startle him?) is making me feel things đ
âDo that again, and I wonât be so forgiving.â
The faint dip between his brows has you thinking otherwise đ€
âWhat if I ask first?â đ
Youâre treading on thin ice đŹ
His eyes flash, âPardon?â
Good thing heâs close to cracking too đ
âIf I ask to touch you?â
Iâll kill you âYou wouldnât.â
WeLp
He didnât say No đ€
(obvi consentâs a must, but in this specific context mutual flirtationâs strongly implied and also itâs literally Muzan)
âOh!â <â Kyojuro exclaims, cheerful as ever âșïž
âHello there,â he chuckles, smiling at the feeling of your body pressed against his back, âAre you checking something?â
âMhm,â you grin, âTheyâre still here!â đ
âMy pectorals?â his head tilts, âOf course they are?!â
Heâs ~a little oblivious, okay? đ
âHow about you hug me from the front?â he suggests gently, âThat way I get to hug you too!â
đđđ
Heâs so precious
How could you refuse?????
Spoiler alert: you canât
GIVE THE MAN HIS HUG đ„șâ€ïžâđ„
Spoiler alert: you give Kyojuro his hug, and it is very cozy đ„°
A tad sweaty + suffocating, but you wouldnât trade it for the world đ„ș
Shocked đ”âđ«
Giyuuâs inner monologue: ????? What? Is? This?
Giyuuâs outer dialogue: *still as stone*
âGiyuu?â you immediately remove your hands, scurrying to his front side, head tilted w/ concern, âIâm sorry, I didnât mean to make you uncomfort-â đ
âYou didnât,â he interrupts quietly, finally grasping his bearings, âIt wasâŠâ aaand now heâs blushing, â... nice.â đ„șâșïž
Your nose scrunches, relief relaxing your shoulders as you nod sheepishly, âIâm glad I didnât freak you out too much.â
âMhm,â he smiles reassuringly, âYou freaked me out,â gently guiding your palms back to his chest, âBut not too much,â winking shyly at you, âThe perfect amount, in fact.â
HELP !!!!! CAN YOU JUST CAN IÂ FWIBEIUVLNSOUEJGBWO;GNS
Suave, sexy, knows-what-he-wants, isnât-afraid-to-tell-you, will-even-go-after-it-himself Giyuu has entered the chat
AnD I AM HERE FOR IT đđđđ
LOUD LAUGHTER
You can feel it through his tiddies đ
âEnvious, my dear?â đ
Okay
Presumptuous much? đ
But alllso đ
âIf you could shareâŠâ you pout, âGimme just a lil?â đ€
âYouâre welcome to work out with me,â he chuckles fondly, flexing for you, âThese could totally be yours!â
You sigh, âTengen, pectorals and breasts arenât the same thing.â
âI know that,â he shrugs, patting your knuckles reassuringly, âYour breasts are perfect, and Iâm happy to coach you and your pectorals if you so desire.â
You decide to test the waters đ
âWhat if my pectorals get bigger than yours?â đ
Tengen immediately drowns you đđ
âNot a chance.â đ
And then he tacks on, a tad nicer, âBut you could certainly get very big pectorals.â âșïž
âJust not bigger than yours,â you grin đ
He nods grimly, âMy ego would pop.â đ
âAnd that would be tragic.â âčïž
âIndeed,â he squeezes your hands (which remain splayed across his chest), still basking in your touch, âI appreciate your understanding.â đđ„°
(fyi, if your pectorals did get bigger than Tengenâs, then heâd: survive, be super proud of you, and beg to know your workout regimen)

Sandwiches And Sticky Fingers
Pairing -> Husband! Dad! Bucky Barnes x Wife! Mom! Fem! Reader
Total Wordcount -> 1.8K
Summary -> As your daughters are growing up, Bucky enjoys spending as much time as possible with his little family. Today, as the weather is lovely, he offers to have a picnic in your backyard, which is an offer you simply canât refuse as itâll be some welcome family time after a long week.
Tags & Warnings -> Canon compliant, stay-at-home dad! Bucky Barnes, established relationship (marriage), domestic fluff, a tiny bit of angst, references to Bucky's past (nondescriptive), mention/reference of a bad past relationship (nondescriptive), reader is nicknamed âSunshine,â no use of y/n.

Authorâs Note -> As of right now, I officially have a tag list where you can add yourself! I will also add to the list as I write for different characters and participate in writing challenges. If youâd like to be tagged in my stories, you can add yourself to my tag list here.
Writing Prompts @fandombingo -> âThere was never anyone else for me.â | Bucky Barnes @fandom-free-bingo Bug Edition -> âYouâre so red.â
The sun outside shines brightly, covering the entire garden and your house in a beautiful golden hue. Your husband, Bucky, is enjoying some alone time as he makes breakfast for you and himself, and two pink bottles of milk are slowly warming up in the designated machine. Heâs usually up an hour or two before you, and your twin daughters, and he likes to use that time to go on a long morning run with his best friend, Steve, to burn off some extra energy that is a result of the super soldier serum pumps through his veins.
As the sunlight enters your bedroom, showering everything in a warmth that always makes you happy, you wake up before stretching out, ready to start the day. After a quick look on the baby monitorâwhere you see both girls still sound asleepâyou grab one of Buckyâs well-worn henleys, slip it on, and bring the fabric to your nose to inhale his masculine, comforting scent. A hum falls off your lips as a smile tugs on the corners of your mouth.
Finally, you make your way down the stairs and into the kitchen, where Bucky is humming along to some music from the 40âs, his entire body moving to the beat as he effortlessly flips the next chocolate chip pancake - your favorite.
âGood morning, Sunshine,â he says as he looks over his shoulder, meeting your gaze as he does. A flurry of butterflies is going wild in your stomach, heat surging through your veins as Buckyâs eyes darken from their usual bright blue to a darker blue while the pure need for you surges through his body. Within less than five steps, heâs standing in front of you, his hands gently cupping your cheeks as he takes a moment to admire your features.
âYouâre so beautiful,â he murmurs before leaning in, his lips on yours in a captivating kiss that has you gripping his shirt tightly. Even after a few years of marriage, he still takes your breath away every single day. Buckyâs hands wander from your cheeks down to your neck, his thumbs tilting your head slightly to get even better access to your soft, pink lips, and goosebumps arise on the skin heâs touching.
âBucky-â is all you can say, but you donât finish your sentence as the machine warming your girlsâ bottles is beeping, letting you know theyâre ready to go. A wide smile spreads as you push your forehead against your husbandâs, your bottom lip pulled between your teeth.
âI love you, Sunshine, so much. Now, if you go get the girls, Iâll finish breakfast, okay?â he asks softly, and you nod before stealing a few more pecks and turning around, your hips swaying a little extra with every step. As soon as you open the door to the room your twins share, you can hear them babbling away at one another, and your heart swells with love.
âGood morning, girls! Are you two ready to get some breakfast with Mommy and Daddy this morning?â you ask as you lower the side of the crib that houses your first daughter - Isabelle - ready to scoop into your arms. She coos happily at you, and you kiss her chubby cheek as you walk over to her sister - Rebecca - scooping her up with your free arm. Thankfully, Bucky had already changed their diapers before going on his run earlier this morning, meaning you donât have to worry about them until after breakfast. You can go straight to the kitchen as your stomach is rumbling with hunger.
âWhoâs ready to go and see Daddy?!â you ask them excitedly, making Bucky smile as he hears you over the baby monitor on the kitchen counter. He lets out a content sigh as he finishes setting the table, just in time for you to walk in with your daughters. Rebecca immediately stretches her arms out to be held by Bucky, which has become their morning routine whenever youâre home.
With you being gone for work early in the morning and Bucky taking on the role of a stay-at-home dad at his request, he has been bonding with them in a way he never would have considered before meeting you. Ever since he got the chance to meet you, you have shown him what he deserves by giving it to him and more, and even though it is still a struggle some days, he now embraces his life with open arms, which is a massive help with his recovery, too.
âIâve been thinking, what do you think of having a picnic in the backyard this afternoon? After theyâve gone down for their nap, we can spread out a blanket on the grass as we have some snacks for us, and theyâll get their bottles outside, as well,â he offers; you donât have to think about it for even a second before you let him know you agree, and Bucky feels like heâs on cloud nine at the thought of spending the afternoon all together.
Bucky spreads a large picnic blanket in your backyard underneath a large beach umbrella to allow for shade. While youâre busy cutting up fruit in the kitchen, you suddenly get very distracted by the sight of your husband bending over in a pair of tight, black jeans that show off his backside beautifully as you start to salivate a bit at the thought of giving it a spanking or two. Then, as if he senses your eyes on him, he turns around with a quirked brow, letting you know you got caught.
In an effort to play it off like nothing happened, you go back to cutting the large, juicy watermelon you bought at a farmers market you and your twins attended after breakfast, but itâs all to no avail.
âYou canât help yourself, can you, Sunshine? Ogling innocent men as theyâre just spreading out a blanket in their backyard,â Bucky purrs as he gently pushes himself against your back, his firm chest and chiseled abdomen pressed against you as his large hands rub your arms.
Why does he have to look and feel like heâs been cut out of marble? You think as you close your eyes. The way he presses against you has you wanting him more and more every second, and when his lips are leaving a trail of kisses on your neck and bare shoulder, your brain is about to shortcircuit completely. As you drop the knife on the counter, you and Bucky snap back to reality at the loud sound.
âOh god, I-Iâm sorry!â you say as heat surges through your cheeks, embarrassment and bad memories flooding your body and mind as you try to regain yourself.
âSunshine, can you look at me for a moment?â Bucky gently asks, and you turn around after he steps back to allow you some room to move.
âItâs okay- weâre okay. I know you dropped the knife, but no one got hurt, and everyone is okay. Iâm not mad,â he says reassuringly, and you canât help but tear up a little as he says it. Before meeting Bucky, youâve come out of a nasty relationship, and as much as youâve shown him the life he deserves, heâs also shown you the life you deserve to live, even though it hasnât been easy for either of you.
âAre you sure?â you ask in a small voice, and Bucky nods before extending his hand. He wants to give you the choice of being touched, and you put your hand in his before stepping into his comforting arms. As he whispers sweet words into your hair, your heart rate goes down, and the anxiety you felt earlier also leaves your body as you enjoy the moment.
âThank you, Bucky,â you say before standing on your tiptoes and kissing him on the cheek, leaving him to blush intensely at your show of affection. A goofy smile splits his face as he feels like a teenager in love who just got kissed on the cheek by their crush, and he can never get enough of feeling this way. After youâve returned to cutting the red, juicy fruit, Bucky has gone to get the twins, changing their diapers before taking them outside, ready to enjoy the picnic.
âLook whoâs there with your bottles! Itâs Mommy!â Bucky says enthusiastically as youâre holding the girlsâ milk bottles in one hand and a basket with containers of sandwiches and fruit in the other. As you walk over, Bucky admires the way you look like a goddess with the sun shining beautifully on you, smiling as he does. While he always knows heâs lucky to have fallen in love with someone like you, moments like this cement it for him.
âWhatâve you been staring at, Handsome? Youâre so red, the colors of your cheeks are rivaling the strawberries I cut up earlier,â you say teasingly as you sit down on one of the pillows Bucky brought outside, and he turns his head to Isabelle, whoâs looking up at him with big, curious eyes.
âDo you hear that, Izzy? Your Mommy is teasing me and telling me I look like a strawberry! Can you believe it?!â he says with faux-offense, immediately making you chuckle as he does. In moments like this, youâre falling in love with him all over again. Heâs a natural dad, and it always felt right when you talked about him becoming a stay-at-home dad. Heâs doing a fantastic job raising your daughters; you canât help but tell him exactly that.
âBucky?â you say, grabbing his attention for a moment.
âI love you and am so happy to have married you. Before meeting you, I only thought I had met the love of my life, but nothing was further from the truth - it was only when I got to know you that I realized there was never anyone else for me. Youâre my soulmate, true love, and happily ever after.â
For a moment, Bucky stays silent as he lets your words sink in; the amount of love makes his heart overflow. His mouth opens and shuts a few times as his brain desperately tries to grasp words, but heâs unable to. Instead, he leans forward to kiss you, a soft moan slipping from your lips as he does. The kiss is unhurried, soft, and perfect, but youâre pulled out of the kiss when you feel something sticky and wet smeared on your arm.
âOh, whatâs that?! Did you get ahold of one of the strawberries?â you ask as you look down at Rebecca, whoâs squeezed one of the juicy fruits before smearing it onto your arm. A deep laugh emerges from your husbandâs chest, and you canât help but laugh with him. What started as a sweet moment has become a core memory for you and your husband, genuinely making it a day never to forget.

hi can i request the first year gang and Ortho asking m!yuu who can sing and play guitar to sing a song from his world (any song you like or want to write) because they are curious about what songs from yuu's world are like.
characters: first years x male yuu
tags: platonic, canon compliant, fluff, fic + imagines format; mentions of vil and malleus
warnings: none
author's notes: you guys sure like your first years huh?? also i forgot grim technically counts so i wrote him in lol,, plus i just wanted to :D
Another school day, another raucous scene in the cafeteria. Youâre used to it at this point obviously. Your friend group is one noisy clique but you wouldnât have it any other way. That day in particular, you brought your guitar along with you, in case you get bored as the day passes by (which is a likely possibility). Itâs currently the topic of your friendâs conversation right now and has been for the past few minutes. You only chew your lunch, pretending to feel indifferent, but youâre amused beyond anything by their debates - and their attempts to get you to play it.
âCâmonnnn, donât be such a spoilsport! You brought it with you, you might as well play it!â
Ace urges, pushy as always. He makes a good point but you still shake your head at him. He pouts at your response.
âFor once, I actually agree with him⊠Câmon, Yuu, pretty please?â
Epel chimes in, weaponizing his looks and the charisma classes Vilâs been pressuring him in. It almost convinces you but you refuse to surrender, just because sparkles twinkled out of someone as they bat their eyelashes cutely. Nuh-uh, no siree.
No, nothing will make you surrender⊠except if your friends would actually let you finish your damn food. You say this out loud and a silence fills the table for a few moments. They mutter apologies under their breaths as you exhale through your nose, satisfied with their response.
Once you actually finish eating, they almost immediately start to hound you to start playing. And by hounding, itâs mostly them watching you curiously and expectantly. You sigh and finally, pick up your guitar to fulfill your promise. They start to cheer but then with a look from you, they calm back down.
Inhale. Exhale. Your fingers start to waltz on the strings. Your voice reverberates after seconds of instrumental pass.
âWeâre no strangers to love⊠you know the rules, and so do IâŠâ
Ace Trappola
Wow.
He wasnât really expecting much but you completely blew his mind
He doesnât say that when youâre done with singing though; he only holds up his fingers, as if to rate it out of ten. You laugh at that
So songs from your world are like that, huh?
Theyâre not much different from what he can find in Twisted Wonderland but he found himself feeling more affected by the lyrics than he thought
He asks you why you picked such a tender love song to sing to everyone
You chuckle knowingly and tell him that you simply like the song - and thereâs nothing else to it.
Deuce Spade
He gives you a standing ovation, big smile and everything
You have to ask him to sit down after it
His comments are simple enough, that he loves your voice and that your playing is really good but itâs enough to paint a light pink on your cheeks
Eyes wide with curiosity, he asks you if a lot of songs from your world are like that
You inform him that no, of course not, when it comes to music, your worldâs is just as diverse as Twisted Wonderlandâs
Ace teases him for it right after
He then confesses heâll try to memorize the lyrics of the song so you guys can sing it together - and you raise no objection to it whatsoever.
Jack Howl
Even when you were playing, you could see his ears perking and twitching excitedly; you could only assume his tail was also wagging with much vigor
At the end of your performance, he shoots you an impressed smile and admits that your skills arenât half-bad
You make a mental note to punt this goddamn tsundere later
You take his comment with grace and his smile grows wider with pride
He then continues by pointing out how cute the lyrics are and you jokingly reply that you forgot heâs somewhat of a romantic at heart. He tries to hide the blush on his cheeks then
Bashfulness aside, he proclaims that one day he wants to sing such lyrics from the bottom of his heart
And so he joins Deuce on in learning the lyrics with you - more for your army, you suppose.
Epel Felmier
He joins in on Deuce with the clapping but at least you donât have to tell him to sit down
He marvels at your skills and at how manly you are
You sheepishly put your hand behind your head at his comments but you thank him nonetheless
He then adds that the song somewhat reminds him of the country love songs he would hear back in his hometown, though he admits that that may be because of the guitar rather than the song itself
You feel a little silly after hearing the song being compared to a country song but you suppose he has a point
Heâd like to see you perform more songs this way - and if youâre willing, heâll recommend Vil to you so the stories of your talent can be widespread!
You tell him youâll consider it and hold back your tongue from mentioning the fact that you might go home by then, just so you can savor the possibility of playing the song in front of an audience.
Ortho Shroud
His eyes twinkle with amazement
And if youâre asking, yes, heâs already recorded your performance. Oh, donât worry, itâs for analysis purposes. UnlessâŠ?
Jokes aside, heâll make sure he tucks that piece of data somewhere safe and confidential - unless you want it to be shared, which he also doesnât mind doing for you!
You take that into consideration. Itâd be iconic but at the cost of your anonymityâŠ
All the while, he questions you what other songs you can share
You almost pick up your guitar again as his eyes seem to plead you to do so
He definitely wants to hear you sing again; maybe pick up a few pointers to sound more human while singing himself too!
Sebek Zigvolt
Is he in tears????
No, you conclude, but it does seem that heâs affected emotionally. You didnât think you had an inner Malleus in you
He remarks that your skills are above that of the average human (doesnât matter if youâre actually human or not - youâll have to bear with him)
You donât protest and just take the compliment as is
To your relief, he doesnât go on any Malleus-related tangent after, but maybe youâre the one whoâs expecting more âMalleusesâ to come out of his mouth
Add him to your gang of wanting to learn the songâs lyrics and you donât bother guessing his motive
Youâre not complaining - four people are enough to shake the world, you think.
Grim
He puffs out his chest with pride as if heâs the one who did the heavy lifting
He goes on to say of course you sound amazing, youâre his hench-human after all!
Then under his breath, you can hear it, his actual praise - your performance is so wonderful, heâs almost jealous
You giggle at it and when he asks, you shrug it off as nothing
You havenât really showed off your talent to Grim despite living in the same place, you realize
Thatâs when you vow to him that youâll give him more personal performances in Ramshackle - together too, if he wants
He agrees to it with a smirk and declares that if anyoneâs ears want to be blessed, come on by to Ramshackle; and you have an inkling that heâs not actually talking about himself.
You only now notice how loud you were, considering now the whole cafeteriaâs looking at you; some curiously, some irritated. You laugh nervously and apologize as loud as you played, everyone starting to turn back to whatever they were doing before. You even see a few familiar faces but you pay them no further mind. You turn back to your friends as well.
Their expressions seem to beg for more but you shake your head and tell them youâll save more songs for another day. They seem to be a bit let down but at least it means that youâll perform more in the future.
Little do they know thatâs just one card up your sleeve.

Anyone else get abnormally freaked out about making some canon non-compliant mistake while writing One Piece fan fiction? Thereâs so many characters, so many details. Literally nearly THIRTY YEARS of content about these psychos out there at present. Itâs daunting. đ
If you donât know what I mean about this very specific/stupid anxiety, imagine you just got into the fandom yourself. Maybe youâve seen Law fanart and think heâs neat. You learn his backstory off wiki summaries and reels or whatever and then think heâs tragic. So you fall in love. You decide youâd be safe plopping him into a modern!au while youâre still trying to work through the manga or anime as you can.
You get a cute, fluffy idea of Law trying to propose to reader at a fancy restaurant. Cora is there for support. Heâs supposed to film the proposal from another table that he and Doffy are at. Doffy is being a menace, Cora is being a klutz. Itâs sitcom level comedy of errors. Itâs so fun. BUT you have this whole section in there about how good the bread is at this specific restaurant. They talk about goddamn garlic bread like it was fine art because theyâre both super nervous as reader already has an inkling of what is really going on.
ButâŠLAW HATES BREAD. Yes, itâd be hilarious that he spent so much time talking about it anyway because he was that flustered. But you as the author really didnât know. You didnât know! Because you have a real life, and a real job, and you didnât see the memes yet. You didnât see that scene yet!
Now, does it matter? No, of course it doesnât! Itâs fan fiction. Itâs fun and itâs free. But you, as the sensitive author you are will always remember that as the day Law accidentally liked the garlic bread. Because you were still a newcomer to this insane asylum of neurotic pirate lore.
Itâs like that. My brain is dumb. Just slap a âmay not be canon compliantâ warning on everything and call it a day I know.
But I canât, and itâs always in the back of my mind. Did I just screw up royally? Did I miss that one SBS about character X and how they absolutely wouldnât ever do what I just said they did?
(P.S. Kuma shouldnât have been in chapter 1 of my Doflamingo long fic. He didnât become a warlord until four years after the ficâs current place in the timeline. Iâm probably leaving it alone. That fic started as a one shot without a hard place in the timeline. ButâŠI will still be thinking of it. It is now occupying brain space. Wtf. Why!? đ€Ł)

So, I was thinking about different fandoms and the fics that I love. What makes a good, satisfying fan fic? I realize it has 100% to do with the canon.
Take BBC Sherlock. I struggle so much with AUs where their beginnings are different. Sherlock is an astronaut, assigned to work with scientist John. (This is an example, not a dig at any specific fic). I can't. I can't. I realize BBC Sherlock is also an AU from Doyle, but BBC Sherlock and John are so fucking tied to "A Study In Pink" and John handing his phone to Sherlock that everything else seems false. Fun premise, but not the Sherlock and John I know.
A satisfying Johnlock fan fic needs to change the ending of the BBC canon. To think of these two men, who love each other so much, just continuing their parallel existences, never becoming anything more than crime-fighting buds, is just. . . it doesn't fit. It doesn't fit the show. It doesn't fit the characters Moffit and Gatiss created, even if they decided to not make it happen (as a special 'fuck you' to their fans). It's heartbreaking.
My favorite fics are fixits -- many of them deal with the aftermath of Euros and Mary, or some do "canon intercepts" and deal with Seasons 3 and 4 differently. Still, anything but John and Sherlock raising Rosie together as partners/lovers/husbands in 221B with Mrs. Hudson downstairs feels like a lie. (Some canon intercepts write out Rosie completely.)
If I had to write sequels to BBC canon, I'd pick "Drawn to Stars" by @totallysilvergirl or "Never Turn Your Back on the Seaâ by @discordantwords . There's a thousand other ones, but those ring the most true to me.
"Heartstopper" fics don't have a lot of room to mess with the ending. Anything other than Charlie and Nick happily growing old together is so far out of canon and out of character that it doesn't even seem like it's worth exploring. There are a handful of ones that have one character or the other dying, but mostly, we understand right away that Charlie and Nick are endgame. We are 100% aligned with canon and creator on this.
Anything that isn't true to this ending rings as false as anything that isn't true to Sherlock's beginning. Fun to read, but not our characters.
With Nick and Charlie being so young in canon, their beginnings are so much malleable. Sherlock and John are tied to that lab. Nick and Charlie? not so much. They meet in grammar school. They meet in University. They meet after a hot hookup at a club in their 20s. They meet after broken marriages to Imogen and Ben. They meet during Nick's rugby career or as fellow teachers. They meet at gyms, at animal rescues, at psychiatric hospitals. They are single parents, University professors, rock star drummers, hot shot authors and academics. Their beginning isn't fixed. But the end always is.
I have so many favorites but I just re-read "Lavender Fields" and I think it's a perfect Nick and Charlie meeting up in their 30s fics. There's a ton of University fics too.
I haven't read nearly as many fics from other fandoms, so I don't know their quirks. I'm finding that fandoms that don't have a m/m pairing are hard to find a lot of fics for. (That's a whole 'nother post). But other m/m fandoms seem to have canon-compliant extra scenes. (Wanna see Achilles and Patroclus get freaky in a tent somewhere? Here ya go. That being said, there's one about Achilles waiting for Patroclus in the Underworld that breaks. my. damn. heart.)
Anyways, I need to do a serious look-through of other fandoms to see how this plays out.
I should add the links here to the fics I mention, just because.

Hello, do you have any marauders fic recs? Iâm a big marauders fan but Iâm so tired of reading fics where they feel completely out of character, and I feel like you might know something I donât
Aw man Iâm the wrong person to ask for this, I donât really read fics very often lol. Iâll try to enlist the help of some people whose Marauders opinions I trust and who might have better recs than me (tbh Iâm also curious to hear), but Iâll share the few that Iâve come across, too. Apologies if you've already read them.
I think my most relevant rec is The Night Will Always Win by betweenfactandbreakfast, which is a canon-compliant Marauders era fic from 1975-1981. Admittedly I havenât finished it â tbh I liked it so much that I had to stop reading it, which sounds so incredibly dumb now that I wrote it out, but I was legitimately getting pissed off that I had to do things in real life instead of reading it lmao. Time to take a step back...! Either way, Iâve really enjoyed it so far. And Iâve seen @seriousbrat's inbox turn into a battleground of endless Snape vs. Marauders discourse, so I know their feelings on the characters are pretty similar to mine lol (and hiii I know you have been in this fandom for much longer than I have, so maybe you have some good recommendations?). Basically this is a good fic if you want everyone to be a terrible person <3
The other fic I can rec is Have Your Cake and Eat It by cunegonde, aka my favorite fic of all time (that I could scream about literally foreverrrr but Iâll try to reel myself in!). This is a good fic if you want everyone to be a good person. Also this fic has time travel in it, so itâs like, kind of Marauders era, but not quite? Even though itâs kind of cliche, itâs also incredibly earnest and thoughtfully done, and it has interesting (and imo, realistic!) characterizations of each of the Marauders. Tbf Iâm definitely biased toward this authorâs work because they basically only write Snupin (my personal fave pairing), but reading their stuff is like, genuinely why are you writing Harry Potter fanfiction and not a full-length original novel, because holy fuck I think you could actually pull that off. Like, I loved this fic so much that I (person who doesn't read fanfic) immediately read everything else they wrote and finished it all in two days... Also this fic made me cry for literally an hour straight (probably the strongest emotional reaction Iâve had to any piece of media ever lol) â even though I knew what was coming. It was just that good.
Unfortunately thatâs literally all I got lol. Iâm going to tag some people who I think have similar takes on the Marauders as I do â @seriousbrat @remus-poopin @big-scary-bird @saintsenara â hiii, add on if youâd like. And anyone else who has recommendations of Marauders fics with good characterization, feel free to chime in!
#i'm sorry i wish i could be more helpful </3#it's not even like i don't like/want to read fics i just don't do it very often. not enough hours in the day#oh and also it sometimes makes me insane lol. at best it's very inspiring for my own art/writing tho so it's def worth it...#just have to find the stuff you Vibe with i suppose#asks#my post#fic recs#hp#hp fandom#marauders#marauders era

Pedro Pascal Character Fic Recs | Vol 37
AO3 | Kofi | Main Masterlist | The Spreadsheet Masterlist
Howdy folks!
Welcome to my bi-weekly fic rec list! This is everything I read in the last two weeks. It's... a lot. I did March Fic Madness and also just was generally in a reading mood so there's like 40 fics here. They're in alphabetical order by boy.
All info provided by the author unless it was blank, in which case I filled it in.
Constellations in his eyes
Dave York one shot by @janaispunk
Your fiancĂ© stands you up on your birthday. Dave doesnât.
infidelity, shitty boyfriend, angst, fluff, kissing, able-bodied reader, reader has hair, no use of y/n
What Love Means
Dave York one shot by @ravensmadreads
Dave has a panic attack and you help him through it
So David is probably ooc (but this version of him is my comfort character sorry), description of a panic attack, mentions of canon violence, and like the barest hint at smut.
The Mess of Us
Dave York one shot by @ravensmadreads
I gave david york my heart and then proceeded to bash it with a sledgehammer - forgive me :p this is the same universe as What Love Means
vague smut, lots of angst (i mean i tried), almost entirely canon compliant, vague-ish attempt at smut, mild cursing, insane use of italics.
The One
Dieter one shot by @schnarfer
If one thing had been different, would everything be different today?
Bit of emotional torment, drink and drugs references, Dieter POV, happy ending? Always Fleabag coded.
Purple Haze
Dieter one shot by @schnarfer
that boy put a spell on you
1960âs London Dieter Bravo AU, heavy on the British slang, explicit alcohol and drug references, reader is a model but no physical descriptions, outfit descriptions, swearing, sort of enemies to lovers if you squint, smut; protected PIV, light bondage, reader is in control and Dieter is a subby puddle, pet names (angel, doll, darling), light dirty talk, playful slaps. Just a note weâre always very Fleabag coded here.
House Arrest
Dieter one shot by @rulexofxnines
Dieter stays over at your place out of desperation. Things get out of hand so you take control of the situation.
forced proximity, only one bed, a goat
The Howler Monkey
Dieter one shot by @covetyou
You got him here, he was safely tucked away upstairs and everything was going, mostly, according to plan. So, who the fuck is screaming?
no smut but some nudity, implied drug use/addiction, little bit silly, mildly angsty, performance anxiety, screaming, Dieter Bravo's soft cock. basically mild hurt/comfort/fluff with my usual bit of silliness.
Vampire!Dieter
Dieter one shot by @chronically-ghosted
Interview with a vampire, gatsby style
flirting, a bit of blood, maybe dubcon due to The Thrall but i think it's safe to say we all want It from vampire!dieter, unbeta-ed because i needed to write something or someone was going to die
Brick House
Dieter one shot by @nerdieforpedro
Dieter buys a house for you and the baby
mention of past drug use, fertility issues, mention of sperm donation and clinics, false pretenses, Dieter might be a bit obsessed or a lot
Stay sexy and don't get murdered
Dieter one shot by @chronically-ghosted
Trapped behind a secret wall to hide from a murderer, the close proximity forces you and Dieter to confront feelings you rather bury underneath your case to prove your favorite neighbor didnât commit suicide.
brief moments of tv-appropiate terror, arguing, mentions of suicide, mentions of death/murder, but more importantly: smut (like half of this is smut), oral (f!receiving), dieterâs bare ass nearly catching on fire, too many feelings for something that started as a crack fic idea
Fare Well
Dieter one shot by @nerdieforpedro
Dieter has been working so hard. He still has an issue that might be because of his mind. What can he do about it? Do anything else.
unhealthy coping, sexual dysfunction, sex work, teasing, pet names, sexual activity (actual and implied I think? I should know. đ)
A poor plan to confess
Dieter one shot by @nerdieforpedro
Dieter is doing his best to stay sober. You have a large part in his plans. They arenât well thought out.

it's Joel Miller as a humanoid monster beast creature with a massive cock idk what you want me to say, creative liberties with anatomy and bodily fluids, they're soulmates because I wrote this so of course they are, monster!Joel can talk a little but it wouldn't kill him to watch a few episodes of Reading Rainbow or do some alphabet flash cards tbh, one curious use of an aquifer as a metaphor
Only Heaven I'll Be Sent To

Good Omens Fanfic Friday (12 Jul 2024)
Some light-hearted ones; some serious ones this week. Pretty wide variety of stories, though for a change, it's all canon adjacent/compliant. No human AU in the list.
There's No I in Team (But There Is in Discourse) (1K; Rated E) by @hollybennett123
Crowley invented top/bottom discourse just for a laugh, and it's getting in the way of Aziraphale's social media browsing.
***
Wise As Serpents (2.2K; Rated G) by @on1occasionfork
Aziraphale makes friends with the snakes in St. James Park.
***
Aziraphael, the Last to Fall (37K; Rated M)
Reverse Omens. I love how the characters are portrayed here. Crowley isn't just "demon!Crowley but angel". He's someone who never Fell and his attitude and behavior reflects that. Aziraphale, on the other hand, Fell for doing what he thought was a good thing, and he's not just "angel!Aziraphale but demon". His animal aspect is a moth. He's still sweet and kind and loving, but he's also sad and depressed and doesn't respect or love God. It's mostly a through-the-ages story, from their first meeting in Gomorrah until Armageddon.
It is commonly thought that when Lucifer and his followers were cast out of heaven, that this was rather the end of the whole thing, and everyone could get back to what they were supposed to be doing, such as praying, rejoicing in the glory of the Almighty, guarding trees, and so forth.
But in actuality, although it doesnât appear in the Bible, and has, by all accounts, been rather hushed up by all parties concerned, there was one more angel who fell from grace. Not for his part in the Great Rebellion (violence, on the whole, made him feel slightly queasy, and heâd managed to be somewhere else on the day itself), but for his flagrant disobedience in following one of Her earliest commands.
In short, he gave away a sword.
***
Kidnapping A Supreme Archangel For Fun And Profit (series) (12K; Rated T) by @waitingtobebroken
Currently a two-part series. In the first story, Grand Duke of Hell Crowley kidnaps the Supreme Archangel in order to inflict vile and torturous things on him, like dragging him to a sushi restaurant and making him walk with him in the park.
In part 2, an outsider POV, Crowley's assistant Kric (Eric with a K) is tasked with acts of incredible Hellishness, like bringing flowers to the Supreme Archangel (because flowers are poisonous to humans and angels, you see) and booking restaurants so the demon lord can overfeed his nemesis. Part 2 is particularly fun, with Kric always misunderstanding Crowley's actions. The author plans one with Aziraphale's assistant's POV, which I'm looking forward to.
***
Thanks for the Memories (43K; Rated E)
Something happened in Heaven, and Crowley finds himself with an amnesiac angel on his hands. If you enjoy memory loss fics, this is a great one.
***
Stuck On You (57K; Rated E) by @zin-lynn-c
This one has been recommended a lot lately for good reason. It's a fantastic canon-adjacent story (and an explanation of where the apology dance came from).
After a drunken handfasting ceremony goes awry, Crowley and Aziraphale find themselves magically bound to be touching at all times. In order to set the situation to rights, they must embark on a multi-day journey to seek help from the last true witch in England.
***
Edit: Almost forgot about this one, which is human AU, because I copy my list from my reddit post and posted it separately.
One Life, One Love (24K; Rated M) by @thinkinginscripts
Aziraphale and Crowley are slaves living in the Akeshi capital, meeting briefly at a slave market and making an instant connection.
Crowley dreams of the two of them running away together, before Aziraphale is sold on to a new household. Crowley prays to Aziraphale's god to make him brave enough to find Crowley again.
While they're apart, Aziraphale discovers a means of escape - across the Akeshi straits. But Crowley can't swim...

the art of cooking
aemond / modern!reader, 16+, fluff / comedy / mild angst in later plot points. inspiration taken from kdrama mr. queen. reader is very bi and loves girls so much. Â
summary: in which you are a famous young chef whose soul was transported into the body of some way too pretty and privileged noble woman. oh, and youâre supposed to marry a prince or whatever. anyway, can you test this to see if it's ready ?Â
warnings: reader is batshit wild and doesn't have time for westerosi norms : ). characters will be ooc at times and this story is not entirely canon compliant.
author's notes: sorry for the very long delay !!! i've had so much going on !!!
tag list: @azaleapotterblack, @aurorathi
chapter two: / 5.2k words
Sitting before Otto and Alicent Hightower, you realize, quite bluntly, you donât want to be here. Theyâre going to think youâre out of your mind if you speak the truth of the situation â you fell in some water and then woke up here in this place â but itâs the truth nonetheless. Given their hardened expressions (that Otto gives you and Alicent has the mercy to give it to the floor instead of you), you have a feeling they already donât like the situation as they perceive it.
Which is that the younger princeâs betrothed (you make a face whenever they refer to this relation) has suffered a memory loss and the greatest doctors of this age canât seem to fix it through traditional means.
Alicent takes in a deep breath, finally breaking her intense eye contact with the floor and running her hands briefly across her face in slight distress. Though, you have a feeling sheâs a little bit of a mess inside. You shift uncomfortably in the seat at the Small Council. Jaquettaâs comforting presence is behind you. Unfortunately, the other presence in the room causes you to pretend to be deeply interested in the space between Alicentâs eyebrows.
Prince Aemond sits across from you, next to Otto. If heâs looking at you, you donât know. You donât care. Heâs not YOUR betrothed, after all, and you have no joy in getting married to anybody. In your real life in your real body, you never had a good example to follow for a healthy relationship, and this girlâs body and that guy sitting across from you do not contain brains that are smart enough to realize that marriage in your teens is a usually bad idea.
Apparently none of the brains of the others in the room are smart either.
âYour uncle and sister are on their way. I have already written to them informing them of the situation,â Alicent breaks the tense silence, looking right at you.
Your eyes meet hers, and you can see a certain kind of tiredness in them. You feel inclined to just nod, so you do. You hope these people will be normal, at least.
âRegarding the marriageââ Ottoâs voice pierces straight to the point. He has this way of speaking that makes you feel like he teeters around certain topics like a fighter circling his opponent. âIt would be best if weââ
You raise your hand suddenly. Your eyes stare right at the tableâs surface. You donât want to know what everyone else looks like at your actions. You open your mouth and let out a dumb sound â âUm.â Thereâs a small pause. âQuestion.â You smack your lips as you gather up all your courage to make your inquiry. âCan we just, you know, not have it?â
Jaquetta grips your shoulder tightly and you know youâve messed up.
âThat is not an option,â Alicent says.
Her tone is sharp enough to cause you to flinch and hesitantly look up at her. Your eyes meet her brown ones. You feel a weight on you. Youâve come to realize in the brief moments youâve looked at her that Alicent comes through in the eyes. Even as they capture you in their vision, you canât look away.
It all feels much like how things used to be with your mother.
Alicent must sense the way you retreat into yourself because she swallows before continuing on in a gentler voice.
âIt is for the good of the realm.â
But you donât care about that. Jacquetta has tried telling you of things here and there, but, for the love of the creator, you have no investment in the happenings of this world the same way these people do. Youâre a foreign entity trapped here, treated with a different level of scrutiny and pushed down by traditions that have been relatively abandoned in your own world. It feels unfair. You want to scream at these people.
âBut Iâm not well,â you say. Itâs the only real protest you have.
Alicent purses her lips and glances down at her intertwined hands on the table. Her father beats her to it.
âTo speak plainly of it,â he starts, and you already can tell from his tone that youâd been doomed to this fate before you even knew it. âThis marriage contract has already been approved by the royal household and your house. The wedding is to be held in three monthsâ time ââ
You put your face in your hands.
(âOh, my fucking god,â you whisper into your flesh. Otto ignores you.)
âGiven the time frame, we will not be able to cancel the wedding nor is it in the interest of the realm to do so.â
A wave of nausea hits you, and you distinctly feel like throwing up.
âYour uncle and sister have been informed of the situation and will be arriving within the month,â Otto says. He speaks like everything is final, and as you feel the walls close in around you, you realize it is. âWe will have to make use of these three months to be sure you are presentable in time for the wedding.â
Something like dread settles in your stomach. Forget the uncle and sister. Your more immediate worry is about how they plan on making you âpresentableâ at a wedding you donât want to a person you donât know.
Your voice is small when you speak again. âAnd youâre going to do that â how ?â
âWe will arrange some tutors and a septa to be at your side at all times,â Alicent chimes in.
âAt all timesâ â you get the impression itâs more to keep an eye on you rather than for your benefit. After not giving yourself nearly enough time to process everything, you lift your head up and glance between Otto and Alicent. You ignore the way Aemond has taken to tapping his finger on the table top.
âSo thatâs it?â You ask. They say nothing. âJust like that?â
Still nothing.
You look at your last lifeline. Aemond has stopped tapping on the table and is looking back at you when you finally forget the uncomfortable tension between the two of you. You must look pathetic because his lone eye flickers over your face as if heâs taking you in. Even in this situation, he makes your spine go a little cold. It takes some strength not to flinch back from him.
âYouââ You take a breath to collect yourself. âYou don't really want this either. Right?â You might as well be pleading to him right now with the way your eyes look at him and the way you wave your arm around. âThereâs no way you actually agree. I mean â Iâm not me anymore.â
He just regards you in brief silence.
âYou donât want to do this!â Your voice raises a bit and Jaquetta stiffens next to you.
âI will perform my duty to the realm,â Aemond answers, keeping your gaze.
Youâre floored, a breathy chuckle leaving you at his words. The corners of your mouth twitch up as if heâd told a joke. It was a sick one, if youâd ever heard one. Your arm that youâd been waving around flops helplessly onto your lap as you watch him turn to his mother and grandfather.
âI will wed my betrothed as agreed upon.â
You donât know if itâs commendable or downright idiotic of him to marry someone who clearly he knows is not normal. Your lips part to make another protest but all that comes out is air. Everyone in this room with any semblance of power greater than your own has shut you down. Your worries are cast aside. Theyâre like whispers in the wind to these people.
Otto says something before getting up and walking away. You retreat back into your mind as you always do when youâre frightened, when things are beyond your control like this. The screech of chairs donât awaken you from your state. Your eyes bore into the polished table, and you think you might almost cry but your eyes flutter shut to stop them. How can you even stop this?
Jaquetta kneels down beside you and takes your hand. You feel a little less alone.
â----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The septa, which you realize is something like a nun, assigned to you is boring and overbearing. Septa Lettice is stern, rule-abiding and watches your every move. Even Jaquetta has difficulty adjusting to this new presence in your life, her bright smile appearing a little tight against the septaâs neutral expression. You canât even so much as go for a stroll without her lingering right on top of you. Her teachings are even worse.
While youâve been spared from being inflicted any physical punishments, when you raise protests against whatever bullshit she tries shoving down your throat, sheâs quick to dole out more readings or lessons to occupy any free time you were waiting for. Though you at least admit that not all these long sermons on the Faith of the Seven are for naught. You find that this world is just as brutal and unfair as the damn Dark Ages in your own world. A discovery which makes you look forward to your time here. Of course.
You whisper your practiced prayers monotonously so sheâll get off your back.
When itâs not with Septa Lettice, Alicent and Otto have been kind enough to assign you other trusted governesses to teach you etiquette, speech and some admittedly more useful knowledge like history and basic finances. The governess presiding over your history and financial lessons finds you more agreeable than Septa Lettice and the other governesses that try to wrangle in your resistant behavior. The first week you attempted to just not show up for the first couple of lessons, and the following week you found that several palace servants had come early in the morning to escort you to your daily lessons. You try for another escape through the window and it takes both Septa Lettice and Jaquetta their entire strength to pull you back inside. Alicent gives you a thorough verbal reprimand that evening, and itâs enough to get you to curb your behavior somewhat.
Jaquetta proves herself to be your greatest asset, though.
âThis is your house, my lady,â she says, unfurling a piece of soft, muted purple fabric with your houseâs sigil on it.
You flinch a little at the sight of a shrike perched upon a branch with one of its meals skewered on a thorn against the backdrop of a castle.
âKind of gruesome,â you reply, looking down at your botched attempt at sewing a flower for your embroidery lesson. It looks like a distorted mess, like a plate of spaghetti thatâs been dropped on the ground.
Jaquetta smiles widely. âThe shrike with its prey has been your houseâs sigil since its founding. Your ancestors used the birdâs way of killing its victims to build Shrikesdrop to defend against enemies.â
Shrikesdrop â the ancestral seat of House Durant. Itâs perched miles high above the waterâs surface, impossible to invade by a beach landing and nearly impenetrable by any army thanks to the steep incline of the roads that lead up to it. According to Jaquetta and a couple notes you found in a book here and there, Shrikesdrop has spikes that resemble thorn covered branches that can impale thousands of men who are unfortunate enough to fall off the inclines. Your house has perfected many tricks to get people to fall off of it, and death by impalement is apparently the go-to execution method of your house. You suddenly didnât want to meet your uncle and sister after hearing that.
ââAs Sharp as Thornsâ,â you mumble your house words. Itâs dumb, but you guess itâs the best your ancestors could do.
â----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You donât mean to stumble across Aemond again. It just happens. Like so much in your two lives.
While you donât exactly allow yourself to get extinguished fully, you at least understand that your ability to get some manner of freedom rests on some compromise on your part. And, well, youâre pretty smart. Smart enough to remember your lessons, to execute the right angle when you greet your governesses, to hold your head high like youâve always had blue blood in your veins. That was all you had to pay in exchange for some free time.
Itâs the sound of steel clashing that causes you to hurry to the platform overlooking the training grounds, eager for some action to rid you of your boredom.
Your opinion of your betrothed is tainted, of course, because of your judgments. Itâs also a little difficult to find yourself liking someone youâre forcefully bound to at this point. However, you canât deny it. The silver locks that fly about like feathers belonging to a bird of prey are what catch your eye first. You can spot them as he dances about the ground, the dirt crunching underneath his boots.
You canât see his lone eye, but you feel that if you were close enough theyâd have that unsettling intensity youâd seen before â honed in on something. His body is both strong yet nimble as he readies himself. His hand grasps the sword as if it were part of his body.
Heâs a fighter.
Fire and Blood â Jaquetta taught you the Targaryen words before those of your own house. The blood of the dragon.
Youâd heard the screeching of the dragons sometimes, but youâd never been allowed to rush to see them. Somewhere between your acceptance of your fate and your need to cling on to what you know, you think youâd prefer not to see one. Aemondâs dragon, Vhagar, is the largest in the world, or so youâve been told.
âShit,â you hiss underneath your breath when you see Aemondâs opponent take such a fierce swing at him.
Your fingers grip the edge of the platform. The hard surface superficially scratches the skin of your palm. Itâs a reflexive reaction, but unnecessary. Aemond blocks it gracefully and disengages cleanly. You release a breath you didnât know you were holding.
âFear not, my lady,â Septa Lettice says. âSer Criston Cole will not harm the prince.â
Criston Cole, the most trusted sworn sword of Queen Alicent and member of the kingâs guard. The best knight in all of the land. Apparently. The royal family sure does have access to some of the best things and people in this land.
Criston circles Aemond after engaging once again, facing towards you as you watch from the platform. Watching training interests you in ways that lessons do not. Perhaps it is the deadliness of it or perhaps it is because even you understand that observing two skilled warriors in a small battle is a luxury few can see. Dark eyes flicker up to you and you stiffen, realizing that Criston is looking right at you.
He says something you canât make out to Aemond. As soon as you see the back of Aemondâs head begin to move, you run off, Jaquetta and Lettice chasing after you behind you.
â----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your beloved Septa scolds you all the way back inside and only lowers her voice when you begin to pass through the busy halls of the Red Keep. Her expression of concern for your dress skirt getting dirty mirrors a stressed chicken, noisily frantic. You just sigh as she keeps on talking.
Even when you are given free will to wander about as you please, everything feels rather ⊠boring once the splendor of the place begins to wear off. The architecture and luxury is impressive, of course, but how much gold thread and pointed stars can you bask in before you start to long for home again? The faces that greet you and pass by you donât interest you. Youâre selfish with your time. Thereâs no use entertaining yourself with people that wonât alleviate your anxiety or boredom.
âMy lady, you should have stayed and spoken with Prince Aemond,â Jaquetta says, walking a little ways behind you.
You give a dry chuckle. âIâve got better things to do than that. Iâd rather be bored to death. Or go pray at the Sept all day.â
As if youâd want to spend more time with him than you have. Maybe if you prayed to these Gods enough theyâd send you back home, but you find that gods tend not to listen to your pleas.
âPrince Aemond is a good prince,â Jaquetta continues. âHe is studious, talented in fighting and dedicated to his studies. You have always enjoyed his company so wellââ
Her words stop because sheâs run into the back of you. You felt the hit but your eyes were trained on someone. A young lady walks across the hall and she is stunning.
âWhoa,â you breathe out as your eyes remain fixed on her. âWhoâs that?â
Her silver hair falls past her shoulders, a lone braid framing the top of her head like a crown. You recognize the shade violet that stains her irises, but they look way better on her. Fuck your betrothed. Who gives a fuck about him when thereâs pretty girls instaed?
Jaquetta quirks an eyebrow at you before following your eyes and responding, âThat is the Princess Helaena Targaryen. You may not remember her since you lost your memories, but you two have been companions since little andâ My lady, where are you going?â
Of course, you pick up your dress skirt from off the floor and make your way over to Helaena. Too high for this societyâs standards but perfectly comfortable to you (which is all that matters). Jaquetta and Lettice follow after you with their cheeks flushed.
You execute the encounter as perfectly as you do in your head. Every step has a certain charismatic swagger to it as you approach the princess with a wide smile. Your shoes make soft sounds on the floor. Helaena is momentarily pulled away from her embroidery. You spy a pretty design of an insect crawling out of its pupa.
The both of you seem to just stare at each other for a couple of seconds. You beam down at her while she blinks up at you. Then, without another word, you sit down next to her. This seems to make her jump a little, and you make note of that, sliding away from her to give her some space. It doesnât dampen your enthusiasm.
âHelaena?â You say her name.
A soft smile tugs on her lips. She says âyourâ name back to you.
âUhââ You arenât quite sure. âIâve been sick for a little bit after ⊠everything, you know, but Iâm all better now. Soooo-â
Some kind of glassy look overtakes her eyes. You feel like your heart slows for a moment. Itâs suddenly as if she can see through you, into you â almost like Aemond.
âCoin in the waves; heads to tails; tails to heads.â Her voice is a whisper. âThe true reflection is on the water.â
Something magical and hidden is woven in her words. Something makes you feel compelled. By what â you know not.
ââŠOh.â I mean â what are you even supposed to say to that? âOkay.â
You two stand there in an awkward silence as you both flicker your eyes to the side. You hear Septa Lettice clear her throat behind you. Itâs just like you to be so clumsy in front of a pretty girl like this.
âYou want to ââ Helaena looks up expectantly at you. âDo some ⊠needlework together?â
She smiles, and you feel your heart leap up into your throat.
â----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Helaenaâs needlework is beautiful. A lovely image of two flowers sprouting together in full bloom rests gracefully on her cloth. The sound of children babbling a bit and toys clanking against the floor draws your attention away from your messy second attempt at sewing again.
Truthfully, you donât envy Helaena being a mother already. This bodyâs original owner and she are the same age. Her children, Jaehaerys and Jaehaera, are old enough to at least understand when you say certain words to them. Maelor is still a little young. She must have had them young, and while you know itâs a symptom of Westerosi culture, it makes you feel ill regardless. You wonder if the original Lady Durant would have found this equally as repulsive or if she would have bowed her head in acceptance? You wonât accept it, at least.
The children say âyourâ name as soon as they see you. Itâs not who you really are, but you canât bear to do anything other than pat their heads and play along with them. You see Helaena in them when they look up at you. Theyâll definitely be pretty like their mother when they grow up.
You nearly threw up when Jaquetta had informed you that Helaenaâs husband was her own elder brother, Aegon. And then you nearly did it again when she told you that it was traditional for House Targaryen to marry close family relations. Sibling marriages are common, and, quite frankly, whatever magical or bloodline related reasoning they can give is not enough to justify literally any of that.
âSoooââ Your voice disrupts the peace thatâs settled in between you and Helaena. âWhatâs the ⊠gossip? Whatâs the â Whatâs the new thing? Since itâs been a bit since weâve chatted and all that?â
She gives you a momentary look before she thinks. âYouâre going to marry Aemond soon.â
You suppress a groan. âYeah, I guess youâre ⊠happy about that. Right?â
Helaena smiles softly and you feel your heart flutter a bit. âMarriage isnât so bad. Aemond wonât ignore you. Heâll be nice to you.â
You frown. âHeâs ignoring me right now.â
âAemond was worried about you,â she says. Your hand stops pulling the needle through the fabric. Thatâs the second person to tell you he was worried.
Helaena sets aside her needlework to give you her full attention. âHe just ⊠Sometimes has trouble conveying how he thinks and feels. Youâve always been very mindful of him, though.â
Yeah, the old owner of this body but not you!
âI guess so,â you say, tossing your own needlework on the cushion next to you. âCanât say my mind is getting any better lately.â
A noise from the children takes your attention away. Theyâre giving a plate of biscuits being offered by their servant rather disgusted looks.
âWhatâs going on?â You ask.
The servant regards you with an apologetic expression. âThe prince and princess have been having some difficulty eating their snacks lately.â
âThey think it doesnât taste good,â Helaena explains. âThe royal kitchen has tried just about everything to please them, but nothing seems to work.â
Youâve got an idea.
â----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They should have known you were up to something when you were being so ⊠compliant. Way too compliant. You excel in your lessons the following two days and spend some time praying like youâre supposed to before you spend the night scribbling furiously down on some paper. You shoo away Jaquetta whenever she inquires about what youâre doing but you unveil everything one day after your lessons. You snatch the papers and gleefully make your way to the royal kitchen, your two companions in tow.
âMy lady, a maiden of noble birth like yourself should not beââ Septa Lettice tries to dissuade you as you enter the kitchen with a bit of misplaced swagger but you promptly cut her off with a yell.
âBring me your ingredients at once!â
The entire kitchen seems to freeze in space before the attendants scramble about to gather everything you wish. They assemble fruit jam, flour, honey, and anything you ask for. If being a future princess grants you this authority, you might consider being nice to Aemond in the future when you see him.
You give a sweeping gaze over the ingredients, putting your hand on your hips. âThatâll do it.â
âMy lady,â Jaquetta says, âWhat do you plan to do?â
âDonât worry yourself, Jackie,â you respond, washing your hand in some water and covering your hair with a napkin. âLettie.â Septa Lettice makes a face. âLet me work my magic.â
Despite their anxious words and the annoying way they hover about you, they soon join the growing crowd of kitchen staff that watch you, entranced by your skills. It should be expected, though. Who can beat you when it comes to cooking? Even baking these jam filled cookies for the twins is a piece of cake. If the royal cooks canât make anything that pleases them, then you definitely can.
You inspect the heat under the baking oven located some ways away from the kitchen. Your eyes trail along the metal of the oven. It shouldnât be too time consuming to bake the cookies as long as the heat was regulated. With that over, you crack your knuckles and get to work.
You hold your hand out towards the kitchen staff. âSmall knife for designing, please.â
âMy lady, that isââ
You narrow your eyes. Soon, a small knife is put in your hand and you get to cutting out insect shapes of the cookie dough you prepared. You make two of each design, putting a dollop of the fruit jam mix in the middle of one cut out dough piece and then putting the other on top of it. You make sure to draw each part of the insects with precision â butterfly wings, caterpillar body, beetle legs. Something for both the children and Helaena to enjoy.
âIf these are burnt by even a little bitââ You tell the servant that manages the oven, handing over the tray of cookies. You drag your thumb across your neck. âYouâre dead, okay? On the future princessâ order.â
He gulps and scurries off.
You nearly trip over your own feet that afternoon when you hurry up the long staircases and through the many hallways of the Red Keep to Queen Alicentâs room. Helaena takes the children there to visit their grandmother, and youâre determined to be there to have them enjoy the treats youâd made.
âHelaena!â You call out to her in a sing-song voice as the servants open the door for you, Jaquetta following behind you with the food and Septa Lettice right behind her (nearly out of breath).
Several eyes fall on you, but any thoughts of shame are pushed aside immediately when you see him there.
You blink. âWhat are you doing here?â
Aemond regards you with a quick sweep of his single eye. âI came here to see my niece and nephew.â
ââŠâ You narrow your eyes. âOkay.â
You hear Alicent let out a quick sigh before giving you a tired look that has you shrinking a bit. âI see your lessons have given you no progress.â
You flush. Something about disappointing Alicent makes you embarrassed. âNo, no. Theyâve been going well. I, uhââ
After clearing your throat, you straighten up as youâd been instructed and take those light steps towards Alicent and Helaena, both of whom are sitting on the couch. You give both of them a little curtsy â light like a cloud, your teachers told you. Alicentâs mouth turns upwards, her eyes are expectant. You want to roll yours. You know what she wants.
You swallow your pride and glide across the room towards Aemond, not meeting his eyes. Stopping in front of him, you give him a quick curtsy before grabbing your plate of sweets for Jaehaerys and Jaehaera. The children look up at you as you kneel down beside them.
âLook what your future auntie made you,â you say, holding out the treats for them.
âYou made that?â Helaena says, reaching out a hand and plucking a spider shaped cookie.
âYep, yep!â You nod. âYou can have some too. And Her Majesty.â You donât even bother to look at Aemond. âAnd His Highness too. If he wants.â
You hear him get up from his seat, the wood creaking beneath him. His boots echo through the sounds of the children munching happily on the cookies as he comes over. You lift your eyebrows in surprise and stand up. He grabs one of the cookies, a butterfly shaped one, and takes a bite.
ââŠYou cook, my lady?â He asks.
âHuh?â You say without a thought. Oh. Right. Maybe you didnât think about that.
âThe servants told me you were in the kitchens yourself,â Alicent adds, and you can already tell this is going to be a battle with the two of them.
You bite back any mean retort you had prepared. âI ⊠wanted to make something for my future little niece and nephew. And as far as cooking, um ⊠â You shrug, tripping over your words for a moment. âMy illness unlocked a new, creative side to me. Like sunshine after the storm.â
Alicent and Aemond look at you like youâve lost your mind.
Helaena smiles widely. âThatâs wonderful. I look forward to what else you will make.â
You smile back at her, showing teeth. Alicent looks ready to protest but you cut her off.
âIâll make something for Aemond.â The words tumble out of your mouth before you can even stop yourself. You look up at him and into his eye, something burning inside you. That same kind of passion that kept you going throughout your life. âSomething youâve never had before.â
âThatâŠâ Alicent trails off.
âI look forward to it,â Aemond says.
You donât know why, but you feel taken off guard by that.
You donât know why but you toss and turn at night, thinking of what Aemond would enjoy. Food is the way to someoneâs soul. Youâre not that interested in getting to know Aemond beyond the superficial, but you figured if thereâs anyone you need to NOT hate you ⊠it would be Aemond. You donât care what Helaena or Jaquetta has to say, that kid looks like he could sink a sword in you without so much as breaking a sweat. Besides, it got you out of having to appeal to Alicent to let you in the kitchens again.
Youâre not getting out of this marriage. The thought makes you want to sink into the bed and into the darkness even more. Marriage? In this place? Your husband is going to tell you what to do? Why couldnât you have been sent into the body of a rich widow? Then youâd at least have some money to throw around with no one to tell you what to do with it.
But what are you to cook him? Aside from what others have said to you, youâve no idea what he likes, and youâd already promised him something new. You use your brain to go through what you know.
âFighter,â you mumble. âDiligent ⊠Something filling, but not too heavy.â
Perhaps a broth. A broth thatâs full of flavor, savory like a victory. With some kick in it. A robust flavor on the tongue with some spices and herbs.
Your eyes pop open as you sit up.
ââŠRamen.â

âdoors unlocked and openâ - Saturday, July 8Â Reschedule date: Monday, July 31!
Author:Â sidewinder ( @hawklandââ ) Artist:Â fluffsnake ( @fluffsnakeâââ ) Rating: Teen and Up Featured characters: Castiel, Dean, The Empty, Jack, Death Featured relationships: Castiel/Dean Winchester Length: 9,500Â words Tags:Â The Winchesters 1.13Â âHey, Thatâs No Way To Say Goodbyeâ; canon compliant; post-series fixit; Castiel as the Empty; Heaven-fic Warnings: Canonical character death
Summary:Â Â While Jack is now God, revamping Heaven for the human souls under his care, Cas has become the new ruler and embodiment of the Empty. He is content with this fate until Jack brings upsetting news: Dean has passed away unexpectedly.
And Dean is not finding peace, not even in Jackâs improved afterlife.Â
Instead, Dean has discovered a way to traverse the Axis Mundi to visit other universes, alternative Earths, and has been meddling in their fates. Dean tells Jack that itâs because heâs looking for his âfamily,â but Jack feels heâs really just looking for one individual: Castiel.
Castiel must confront Dean and the consequences of his confession, or else Jack may need to take corrective actions. But will their reunion be enough to bring Dean peace? Or is there still some greater destiny the hunter must fulfill, even in deathâŠ
Or perhaps, through death itself.
Excerpt:
Once upon a time, there was nothing.
Nothing but Empty.
The Empty liked it that way.
Why and how that all changed was unclear.Â
One moment there was nothing, exactly as it should be.Â
But in the next, there was God. God and Amara. A two-for-one deal that was anything but a welcome surprise as far as the Empty was concerned.
Maybe God had always been there, but had left the Empty alone. The Empty did not know. The Empty only knew that It didnât like God being all up in Its businessâor simply being around, period.
So the Empty asked God to kindly get the fuck out, and go find his own place to annoyingly be.
(Godâs sister could stay, if she wanted. Because she seemed to understand, to appreciate the simple beauty of nothingness. But no, wherever dear brother went, so did sister. That was very irritating.)
Eventually they both departed, and all was quiet againâfor a time. A nice and long, long time, during which the Empty slept and enjoyed Its state of near non-existence, of being forgotten. Alone.
Then God unceremoniously dumped the first dead angel upon Its realm, and everything went straight to shit.

I love your takes on Harry and how heâs such a good person! Itâs also why sometimes I find dark Harry fics kind ofâŠeh. Obviously I have absolutely NOTHING against dark Harry fics- Iâve been in fandom for so long that I know in my bones and blood that authors should be able to write whatever they want, this is just me pointlessly critiquing tomarry themes in dark harry fics. Anyway, I think one of the appeals of tomarry is that Harry is a good man trying his best to love somebody who is at best, morally grey. Staying with Tom, one could argue, is one of the few selfish things he does. Tom makes the parts of him that are small and stuck in a cupboard under the stairs be seen, and even tho he ranges from being a morally bankrupt politician to a closet fascist, Harry still canât go. But heâs kicking and screaming about it the whole time. He doesnât tolerate tomâs extremely evil bulshit. He leaves, even tho it hurts, when too many lines are crossed. He has it in himself to love his parentsâ prospective/actual murderer, but heâll never ask somebody else to tolerate or ignore tomâs crimes. This is an incredibly nuanced situation, that is such fun to read about as Harry tries to navigate loving a bad man. Dark Harry fics can feel like a cop out in these ways ( honorary mention that fics are made for oneâs joy and they donât have to have complex themes, Iâm just being annoying )
thank u sm for the ask!!!
yes totally agree :) it's why i personally don't love dark harry either, along with fics that try to soften voldemort/pureblood/dark magic ideals to seem "not that bad". to me, that's just not...really the point? and obvs its fine, fanon is honestly whatever to me and i'm sure there are tons of fics that portray this sort of dynamic beautifully, but because i love canon so much, it's js not my preferred style
and YES. harry is a good person!!! huge agree on why that is such an appeal of tomarry- their relationship itself is a source of conflict, especially internally. tom/voldemort is a bad person, and harry HAS to contend with this. he can't ignore it or agree with it and he Will leave if he feels like it's something he needs to do. he's completely capable of making these difficult decisions and i really don't like it when fics infantilize him in that way.
tbh this is why i started writing i can fix him (no really i can)....i Love time travel fics because it sets them for the first time, on an equal playing field, and it really does allow the exploration of themes of remorse and redemption. but their original characters are so interesting to me and i felt like their internal conflicts, especially harrys, were never really delved into as much as they should have been. and at least in this fic- i don't think harry would even be willing to love tom if he didn't change. i really do love redeemed tom fics, but i wish they weren't all "babe...stop saying slurs for međ„ș" LMFAOO. i don't think a relationship can really change anyone on its own. it has to be of their own volition. with any redeemed tom, i think this is the most important bit: he realizes that harry deserves better, so he decides to become better.
and of course- people can write anything and there are beautifully, amazingly written fics everywhere :) i js personally love exploring their dynamic in a more canon-compliant way

Pomefiore boys with a friend (male reader), how is a hopeless romantic, where they help him (the reader) to win over his crush or comfort him when he is rejected.
characters: the pomefiore boys x male reader
tags: platonic, canon compliant, fluff, comfort, imagines format
warnings: mentions of beating people up LMAO, some physical contact in epel's
author's notes: ngl i was kinda debating writing this bc i was like hmmmm crush but yknow what? it's not romance with the main cast so i'll let it slide plus im excited to get a request after so long sorry if this isnt as good! pretty rusty from not writing imagines in so long ahaha
Vil Schoenheit
You went to the right person - who else has better rizz charm than Vil Schoenheit himself?
Of course, his first word of advice would be to just be yourself but just in case âyourselfâ isnât enough, Vil has extended two generous offers to you: he will personally tutor you on how to steal your crushâs heart and if somehow they still reject you, heâll have a uh⊠nice little talk with them. Totally. He has a reputation to hold up you know
Jokes aside, he truly believes you can catch your crushâs attention. He may be a little tough on you at times but heâs only trying to push you in the right direction
âRemember. If they do not give you the time of day, then they are not worth any of your precious time.â
If you get rejected, heâll admit he feels a bit guilty - mostly disappointed in the crush (unless they have a good reason to reject), but still
Of course you insist that he doesnât have to be sorry but he takes it upon himself to make up to you somehow
Whatever you need to recover from the rejection, heâll try his best to fulfill your wishes
Heâll make time in his busy schedule to go out and treat you to something to cheer you up
In all the love in the world, maybe your crush isnât yours to keep. But at least Vilâs is.
Epel Felmier
He may not have much experience with confessions or being a wingman but heâll try his best for you!
He might search up how to impress a crush online and have you genuinely try the ideas he found and letâs just say that some of them are⊠interesting alright
You know he means well so you just follow along. At least the embarrassing times make for good memories to look back on and laugh over
âMaybe thisâll workâŠ? How are we gonna find these thoughâŠâ
He also offers to beat your crush up if they reject you but you quickly shut him down.
Heâs there somewhere, hiding in a nearby bush (or whatever is nearby), when you confess to your crush, face scrunches up as if watching an intense Spelldrive match
If you get rejected, heâll be a shoulder to cry on. Literally - heâll sit beside you and offer to let you rest your head on his shoulder if you want
He may end up not saying much but he can listen to you for as long as you need him to
The tears of rejection may be salty, but the memories you made with your friend could sweeten any taste.
Rook Hunt
Heâs delighted that you trust him enough to go to him for support
You think that youâd like to be more charming like him, what with his way of speaking and how he carries himself
Tears prick the corner of his eyes already; you have to ask him if heâs alright
âTo think you saw me in such a light⊠it would stir any soul.â
He would even offer to teach you the delicate art of poetry if you so desire to win your crushâs heart through prose
If you get rejected, heâll empathize with you, wearing a frown that you almost feel worse about than your actual rejection
Heâll let you say whatever you need to say or let out whateverâs weighing on you
When youâre done, he tells you that even such heartbreaking events could bloom into a beautiful flower one day - that you need not be concerned and see it as a learning experience
You laugh; how could you forget? There are many types of people out there. Just like how there could only be one copy of your crush, there could only be one of Rook.

on fanfiction, fic authors, and the (misplaced) expectation that fanfiction should be an extension of the source material rather thanâŠfanfiction
forgive the negativity, i promise this wonât be a norm :)
iâve been writing fic as a hobby since i was in elementary, first for the TMI series, then 1D (lol), then haikyuu, genshin, you name it. for the most part, writing has afforded me unique opportunities to connect with fandom, even if many of my earlier fics never saw the light of day.
while iâve received a lot of love from the communities i do publish fics for, iâve seen an uptick in entitled fic readers publicly bashing fanfics because authors âmischaracterizeâ characters from the source material.
then, i watched a tiktok about a renowned bakudeku fic:
*iâm not a diehard bakudeku or my hero fan, nor do i consume any fan content for the series, so if iâm missing something regarding the bakudeku fic, youâll have to forgive my ignorance. the point i wanted to make extends beyond mha anyway.
âŠand realized this problem was not endemic to the fandoms iâm active in, but a larger sign of souring fandom etiquette.
i donât care how entitled you think you are to reading âgoodâ fic. voluntarily consuming someoneâs work and then complaining about it because it doesnât meet your âstandardsâ is a terrible way to interact with fandom spaces. youâre allowed to have opinions within your circles. everyone does. but the moment you publicize hate so you can interaction farm + round up other entitled fic readers (who often donât produce their own fic), youâre inviting negativity into a space that you have no right to police. what gives you the authority to criticize someone elseâs labor of love?
to begin with, the expectation that every fic writerâs interpretation of the chars must perfectly align w the source material imposes a skill/time barrier on fan work creation, draining all the fun out of the creative process. even if someone knows in their head how x and y are characterized, the disconnect between your brain and the words you put on a page takes time to mitigate. writing is a skill honed with practice. in other words, itâs difficult to convey what you want with words. by expecting fic authors to faithfully abide by source material characterization instead of allowing them creative freedom to INTERPRET ART (because believe it or not, these chars are just another piece of art that can be analyzed from different angles) as they see fit, youâre limiting the pool of creators to one of the following:
1) fic authors who understood the source material characters âcorrectlyâ on first read
2) fic authors who didnât initially, âcorrectlyâ understand the characters, but could reread the source material and capture them through thorough study
iâve missed some nuances, sure, but doesnât that sound ridiculous? because i think it sounds ridiculous.
a suggestion, if i may: how about you just donât read a fic you donât like instead of lobbing unrealistic expectations at people who share their work out of love for the source material? how about you create your own fic since youâre soooo confident that deku wouldnât wear this or that? legit why donât you try contributing to the space instead of clout chasing and driving fic authors out? if you have so much criticism, then please, by all means, bless us with your vision. only through creating will you see how difficult it is to abide by your standards.
and if youâre a fic author who criticizes other fic authorsâ works, shame on you. everyone in the space is interpreting art. congrats on being able to map out âcanon-compliantâ scenes or dialogue. stop holding other people who arenât quite there yet/have no interest in doing so to the same expectations.
#bakudeku#ao3#fanfiction#writing#fandom etiquette#it isnât WRONG to want your chars as close as canon as possible when writing fic#itâs wrong to put another creatorâs work on blast because you expected them to read your mind#i wrote this in a burst of anger so weâll see if i take it down after iâve slept#stop imposing skill barriers on pasttimes i beg

stsg fic rec list (2023 edition)
Iâve skimmed through every single stsg fic published on AO3 in English in 2023 and hereâs my humble rec list.
disclaimer: I strongly prefer goge dynamic in fics (top Gojo/bottom Geto), so in explicit fics this dynamic is implied. all works are completed
something you can hold on to. by saffronteaÂ
this fic was accidentally the first one I really enjoyed when I started going through the tag and the one that left the most lasting impression. simultaneously it is a good example of what to expect from this list: our tastes in fiction probably align if you find this fic as beautiful as I do. itâs one of the better stsg fic out there and hands down the best Geto character study Iâve had a pleasure to read. very thoughtful and heartfelt piece about acceptance in its many forms, that is also beautifully written.
the eater, my birthmother, was speaking by No_Ir
this author have a very distinct style of writing which is just not my cup of tea, but I really liked this reflection on Gojoâs relationship with his mother.
i steal a glance, you steal my heart by fromthefarshore
a heartwarming canon compliant getting-together story, I loved that one for the banter that felt very natural and endearing characterisation. I also love fics where author portrays them as best friends that really enjoy each other's company (a feat not as simple as it might seem).
one solitary day by chuuyasoup
I feel like you must know this author if you ever read stsg fics before, they are very good. this fic is an exploration of mourning, thereâs nothing bombastic going one, just a boy slowly coming to accept that his best friend is gone.
empty spaces by HamsterQinghua
Iâm a sucker for fics with outsider POV, this one has absolutely delivered on it. fun and easy read (until it isnât).
Heartstrung Ghosts by CharmPoint
another outsider POV, but this time reflecting on Getoâs death. I loved how author portrayed Gojo, Geto and Shoko relationship (none of this âtrioâ dynamic that is very much prevalent in the fandom). Yagaâs part was also extremely satisfying to read.
now & forever, time will tell by valisse
this fic is soft. the best kind of soft. itâs so very delicate with a touch of angst. I feel like the author also did an immense work with the text itself, the mood of the story and the style of writing are meshing together perfectly.
Paradise Calling by PreseaMoon
sensuality captured in a text like a lightning, I love how itâs not explicit, but it reads very much so. the fic is a real treat.
light a match by fromthefarshore
a rare AU fic, but I loved it a lot. again, the author did a lot of work to make a fic set in modern Japan read authentic. characters are easily recognizable, the romance is sweet and the plot is captivating, despite being just a description of day to day life basically. Geto is a monk in this one (not really), that was the premise I couldnât resist. author also touched upon the subject of homophobia very delicately and tastefully, which left me pleasantly surprised.
The Spider's Bride by Anonymous
another AU, Geto is a chosen sacrifice for a Spider deity. tags say all you need to know about this fic, I can just add that itâs extremely well written. highly recommended if you are not put off by extremely dubious consent warning (and, well, everything else it has to offer).
symphony, coda by medicinal
one-shot about Gojo accidentally meeting Geto some years after his defection. I loved characterisation a lot, can easily picture it happening exactly like this in canon.
compulsion by aloera
multiverse kind of fic, with stsg being the doomed yaoi couple in all those different universes, it was a fun read (if your definition of fun is suffering).
catch it like lightning by pennydaniels
I feel like you must know this author if you ever read stsg fics before [2]. though they have a very peculiar characterisation, itâs really a hit or miss. but since in this fic Geto loses his memories, I wasnât too distracted by it. it's one of those fics you simply can't put down until you finish it. and the next thing you know is you pulled an all-nighter and it's time to get up for work.
on the subject of misfortune by haysel
sentinels AU, which I didnât really see before in English (basically itâs a soulmate AU, but edgy). this fic, however, is everything but. Itâs subtle and clever in how it implements this particular AU in the canon setting. Iâm a sucker for exploration of their codependency and all its implications, for these purposes this AU is just perfect.

Grisha!Kaz Brekker Alternate Universe fanfiction recommendations
part of Lunar's soc fanficiton rec series
-------------------------------â©âË.ââŸââșââ§----------------------------------
The Etovost Plague by Spikey44
Wordcount: 139k Chapters: 37/37
Characters: Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, Jesper Fahey, Wylan Van Eck, Nina Zenik, Kuwei Yul-Bo
Tags: Grisha Kaz Brekker, Post-Canon, Dead Matthias Helvar, Sorry, Not KoS/RoW canon compliant, Kaz is a Tidemaker. Sort of, some gore, scenes of plague, Don't worry only characters no one cares about die, Implied/Referenced Self-Harm
Author's summary/notes: Twenty-eight months after Kuwei Yul-Bo was shot dead and the plague sirens sounded throughout Ketterdam a new and terrifying sickness sweeps through the Barrel: a plague with a unique connection to Jurda Parem. But this time itâs not the Grisha who need to fear. Itâs everyone else. This becomes that, and like no longer calls to like, forcing old crows to wing back to Ketterdam as chaos unlike anything they have seen before erupts through the Barrel, threatening to destroy all of Ketterdam and plunge the world into war. But it's a more personal fear that haunts Inej, Nina, Jesper and Wylan when Dirtyhands goes missing at the start of the plague outbreak. Now the Crows must grapple with the sorrow that Kaz may be dead and the even greater terror that the Etovost scourge has turned the Barrel's resident monster into a living nightmare hell-bent on destroying them all. Post-canon AU where a new Jurda Parem variant transforms normal people into Grisha. Starting with the Barrel Bosses. Uh-oh! My summary/notes: Having Kaz turn into a grisha is such an intruiging concept and I ate it up, at the same time its tragic because of the way being a tidemaker effects him and triggers his trauma. It will get real intense so be prepared. The villain in this fic is so interesting. An unexpected intersting part of this fic was reading the crows be a team without having Kaz as their leader sometimes. I love Inej in this fic so much. BAMF's Inej and Anika. Inej and Kaz have some cute moments. The ending eeee. My quick summary is the barrel goes to shit when a plague enters.

On Black Feathered Wings by @martinakl13

Author's summary/notes: Inej Ghafa is a talented acrobat, but only her closest family knows that she uses her special power during her performances. Wylan Van Eck was sent to Ravka to be trained as a Grisha, but when he returns years later, his home is no longer his home. Matthias Helvar has powers he never asked for, and his family wants to keep him safe. What is the best way to hide Grisha in Fjerda? Among the drĂŒskelle. Nina Zenik is a soldier of the First Army, gifted with excellent language skills. Jesper Fahey moves with his mother to Ketterdam after the tragic death of his father and the loss of their farm due to debts. Kaz Brekker has powers that no one has seen before. Or? My summary/notes: This fic is part of a series so there is a part 2 that is being regularly updated. Be prepared for this fic to simultaneously destroy and heal you. I live for the use of flower symbolism, its so adorable. I loved learning about the kind of grisha Kaz is, and reading Inej as a grisha is just so cool I need more grisha!Inej. Matthias being a grisha is so interesting, and reading Nina + Jesper as normal is so fascinating. Aditi is queen and this fic has Pim and Anika, I love those two so much.

The Bastard's Brother by FlatApple
Wordcount: 214k Chapters: 66/66
Characters: Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, Jesper Fahey, Dregs Ensemble, Jordie Rietveld, Wylan Van Eck, Nina Zenik, Matthias Helvar, Jan Van Eck, Original Background Characters, (they're not important don't worry)
Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Kaz is a Grisha, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Starvation, Touch-Averse Kaz Brekker, Haphephobia, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Pre-Canon, Canon-Typical Violence, Canonical Character Death, Organized Crime, Whump, Kaz Brekker is Bad at Feelings, POV Kaz Brekker, (mostly), Paranormal, Graphic Description of Corpses, Kaz Brekker is a feral orphan for large portions of this, Corpsewitch Kaz, Warning for strong language, Gang Violence, Heist, Slow Burn, Kaz Brekker-centric, Canon Rewrite, Ghost Jordie Rietveld, Good Sibling Jordie Rietveld, BAMF Kaz Brekker, Pining, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Sickfic, Hurt Kaz Brekker, Fever Dreams
Author's summary/notes: Kaz Brekkerâs Mother was Ketterdam. His Father was profit. But Kaz Brekkerâs Brother? That was Death. Or, the one where Kaz has been a Corpsewitch all along. My summary/notes: Reading Jordie as a ghost was so sad, the author managed to write him so well, this fic answers the question of what would Jordie's reactions be to Kaz's ruthless actions. We get to see young struggling feral kaz (it will break your heart) and we get to see Kaz grow. Every dynamic between the crows is explored and its so interesting to read. This fic part of a series and there is more.

The Bastard Saint of the Barrel by Spikey44
Wordcount: 152k Chapters: 46/46
Characters: Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, Nina Zenik, Matthias Helvar, Jesper Fahey, Jordie Rietveld, Pekka Rollins, Wylan Van Eck, Jan Van Eck, Kuwei Yul-Bo
Tags: Grisha Kaz Brekker, Jordie Rietveld Lives, Kaz is Corporalnik this makes everything worse, Kaz is a Dime Lion, Pekka Rollins owns Kaz's indenture, Jordie is Dregs, Kaz has a new alias, A Kaz by any other name is still a bastard, Inej remains awesome in all realities, Jordie makes the deal with Jan Van Eck, Matthias is probably gonna live, Elements of Six of Crows reworked with Living Jordie/Grisha Kaz, Canon Disabled Character, Touch-Averse Kaz Brekker, warning for drug use eg: Jurda Parem and its effects, warning for mild depersonalisation and dissociation in ch 8
Author's summary/notes: In a story of star-crossed brothers, where Kaz's grisha powers save Jordie but don't save him from Pekka Rollins, Kaz becomes the Bastard Saint of the Barrel; Rollins personal Healer and the most feared Grisha to haunt Ketterdam's seedier streets. This upsets Jordie quite a bit. In an attempt to pay off Kaz's indenture, and save his brother from the threat of Jurda Parem, Jordie Rietveld, Dregs Lieutenant and confidence man, makes a deal with Jan Van Eck to perform an impossible heist. Naturally, Kaz, busybody extraordinaire, is not about to let his brother screw up in a foreign land alone. He's going to steal his brother's heist and one Bo Yul-Buyur --or his nearest relative, whatever works best --and save his idiot big brother from a Fjerdan prison. And if this means running out on Rollins -well, thirty thousand Kruge should be more than enough money to pay his way out trouble. Right? My summary/notes:
