Fanfic Resurrection

Okay, so I feel like I am finally feeling this little tingle of wanting to return to fanfiction and to finish some of my stories. I haven't done what I usually do to get fully back into the mood, which is to skim a whole fic and then open the drafts of the rest of it to start typing. I figured, this time - since I have several stories in various stages of progress - I would see if anyone else has a particular fic they are really wanting to see finished first.

Here are my current, unfinished stories in the Osblaine (Nick Blaine/June Osborne of The Handmaid's Tale) fandom:

D R I V E After the events of the season 4 finale, Nick makes the most difficult decision of his life in an attempt to protect June and save Hannah.

This fic has about 6 chapters left to finish the story. I have a sequel planned, but it doesn't really need to be done right after the original is completed.

Mysterious Bruises After a series of tragedies, June and Nick cross paths in Boston. (June/Nick fake dating AU. Gilead does not exist.)

This fic has about 4 chapters left to finish the story.

H A U N T E D When a mysterious serial killer tries to murder June on Halloween, Nick curses himself to an alternate reality to save her, knowing he will forget her. (Nick & June meet in a distant future. Gilead does not exist.)

This fic has 1 chapter left to finish the story, but it's been a tough one and will be long.

S T A Y This is a bed sharing college AU. The plan is to write each chapter in only one sitting with basically no editing. It'll be shorter than my other fics.

This fic has about 3-4 chapters left to finish the story. I only ever posted one chapter, intending for it to be the beginning of a series of reference stories, based on my favorite fics in the two other fandoms I've been a part of over the years - Harry Potter and The X-Files.

Where You Are While touring Europe on a journalism internship, June Osborne meets Nick Blaine, the driver hired to chauffeur her group for the summer.

This is a super fluffy AU with maybe as many as 10-12 more chapters. The outline for this one is a lot more vague, so it's harder for me to know how long it will go.

S A V I O R When June learns of Nick's imprisonment, she puts together a plan to get him out of Gilead once and for all. Post-season 5.

This fic has about 5-7 chapters left to finish the story.

what is your favorite romione fics and what are the ones you’ve written you like the most 👀👀👀👀👀 finding fics on archive have been impossible and a girl is desperate 🌞

Oooh chileeee *rolls up sleeves*

Okay, so I'm listing my all-time favorites below (mostly on FFN since it's been YEARS since I've been plugged into this fandom).

As for my stuff *buries head* this ridiculous ass fic that I wrote when I was FOURTEEN is my main claim to fame (it's trash but also still kinda slaps?). BUT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON A TON OF NEW STUFF. I have six fics coming out this month through the @romione-trope-fest (btw the best active Romione writers are participating in that fest, so you should definitely follow it if you haven't been already! Here's the AO3 collection for the fest.).

ALSO I saw that you are a Renaissance fan. I have one that's 50% done called "Virgo's Groove" (EDIT: it's here!) and it takes place in the seventh book when Lupin announces Teddy's birth. I can share a snippet tomorrow if you'd like 🙂

Okay enough self promo lol. On to my recs!

Seven Simple Years by HalfASlug (FFN): Best Romione missing moments series ever. I think HalfASlug has the best Ron voice. Everything she's ever written for Romione is worth reading.

Moments by Armaysha (FFN): Another missing moments (I'm a sucker for those) that I feel kind of mixed about, even though it's still one of my favs. The writer has a different take on Romione than most of the fandom. It generally works IMO, but some of the choices she made I really didn't understand. But what she did well, she did really, really well.

I Must Not Tell Lies by TMBlue (FFN): I think this is the best one-shot of Romione's first fuck. TMBlue is GREAT at writing Ron and she's like the queen of Romione smut.

Six Foot of Ginger Idiot by Pinky Brown (FFN): This classic is HBP from Ron's perspective. Pinky Brown is another iconic Ron writer. You can't go wrong with anything she's written, but Biscuits (her missing moments series starting in Book 1) starts dragging in the last few chapters IMO.

Australia by MsBinns (FFN): Post-war series, arguably the greatest Romione fic of all time. To be totally honest, I didn't finish it because it does kind of drag. But I'm always meaning to get back into it. Just know that it's heavy.

Love Me Forever by Aloemilk (AO3/FFN): I JUST read this and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a post-war series that has a great mix of angst, trauma, and fluff (lighter than Australia). The slow burn from Romione's first kiss to a full-fledged adult relationship is perfect and the smut is SO GOOD. Reminds me of the time I stumbled upon porn that made me ugly cry (in a good way?)

Not single fics but thesecondself and realmer06 (both on FFN, although realmer06's next gen stuff is also on AO3) are my favorite one-shot writers.

Hey hey ☺️

7: A song to drive to

12: A song from your preteen years

20: A song that has many meanings to you

23: A song that you think everybody should listen to

Hi, love 🖤

A song to drive to:

DRIVE by Incubus. I skipped my prom to go to Incubus/ Hoobastank🤘🏻 Shit is STILL good. Plus it’s the title track of my current fave speculative Osblaine fic🖤 if you’re weary and need hood check out Drive by TMBlue.

A song from my preteen years 🧐

I’ve always been an EMO. As a kid all I had was oldies on the radio. And this song is my favorite thing: HAPPY SOUNDING MUSIC 😃 with devastatingly sad lyrics. That’s my shit. AND the songs literally about that masking shit. Nick Blaine energy. Crying and repressing it. Wondering why everyone is fooled bc ur dying inside.

Song that has many meanings to me:

1. My best friends in highschool played this in a basement the night I met my Ex. The lead singer had just been dumped and was shooting daggers at the girl who broke his heart every time he said “heartbreaker” 😫

2. One of my favorite karaoke songs - hubby and I can play it as a band! Drums guitar vocals

3. It’s about alcoholism. Being the son of an alcoholic step dad. Who got sober. Congratufuckinglations. Still hate you and how you ruined my life 🤷🏼‍♀️ emo af. Sounds happy /devestating lyrics

4. 1st Weezer song I ever heard. All time fave bands. Thankful for this song.

A song everyone should listen to:

1. Original punk sound

2. Catchy af

3. What’s hilarious here is - he’s bragging about hurting ppl. Which would be shock rock if he was serious- but he’s playing the role of an earnest Serial killer- like if Ted Bundy had a band where he sang about offing ppl. It’s such a cool angle.

4. Glen Danzig 🖤

4, 8, and 10 for the Gryffindor asks! (You knew I was gonna ask the music and film ones, didn’t you 😬)

@trademarkblue Of Course I did!!

4) What was the first concert I went to?

When is was 14 I went with my mom to see Lionel Richie...she won the tickets and I had never been to a show because I grew up poor, so it was a real treat! The seats were really good too! (And yes I’m old)

8) What is my favorite song from the year I was born?

Again, I am old, there are so many sentimental faves from that year but my real favorite is “Brandy” by Looking Glass...I can never NOT listen to it! Plus my bestest bestie is Brandy and I sing it to her all the time!

10) What is my favorite 80s movie?

You know you just opened up an entire can of worms here, don’t you! For those who don’t know, I am movie freak! I actually worked in a video store in HS and college so there aren’t many 80s movies I have not seen. I could have entire NCAA style bracket for this one!

Ok...we all love Breakfast Club & 16 Candles & The Princess Bride, but here are a few more obscure faves:

Amadeus (still one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen)

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (sooo underrated)

Trading Places (comedic, satirical perfection)

Lost Boys (I have had a long time love of Vampires...and campy, dark comedy)

(I will forever be devoted to Dead Poet’s Society, but even though it’s 89, I don’t think of it as an 80s movie)

Ugh!! Now I need a whole separate 80s movie post 😂😂😂

Do yourselves a favor: go read this. Now.

Fic Rec #343

7 Years, 6 Months, 4 Days by TMBlue

Hermione x Ron Weasley

Hermione tries to cope with life after Ron's death, but what if all she thought she knew about what happened to him so many years ago was a lie?

WIP as of 10/12/17

[burgundydahlia]

I HAVEN’T EVEN READ THE CHAPTER YET, BUT I’M ALREADY FREAKING OUT.

I HAVE NO CHILL ABOUT THIS STORY, Y’ALL. 

READ IT. LOVE IT. 

YOU’RE WELCOME.

[trademarkblue]

just re read where you are....forgot how much I loved that one 🩷

This is lovely. 💜💚 Thank you so much! I lived inside that story for a few weeks when I wanted something fluffy and fun and adventurous. I have plans to finish it - as I do with everything - but it’s kinda on the backburner as a comfort fic for when I’m writing angst and need a break.

Right now my plan is to push myself to finish DRIVE, and then I’ll poll people to see which unfinished fic I should focus on next. x

[bikelock28]

What are your favourite fanfics?

These are A. Mostly on FFN because I am the only person left who prefers it to Ao3 #SorryNotSorry, B. Off the top of my head completely:

This lovely Fred/Angelina, Ron/Hermione story: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/471987/1/Advice

This cute Trio drabble: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8104843/1/And-Then-There-Were-Three

A series of DH Malfoy vignettes: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12016572/1/Holy-Saturday

This really sick (as in good) story which inspired a lot of my characterisation of Andromeda: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3028076/1/Metamorphosis

Oh my God I love this one. Post-canon Weasleys: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7276274/1/Moving-On

This series of ficlets, some of which are deliciously uncomfortable: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6629252/1/Of-Scarlet-and-Gold

Another quite uncomfortable story. This one's about Teddy: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8970701/1/The-Last-Casualty

Malfoy post-war. This story is beautifully poetic: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5105808/1/Kicking-Down-Castles

...and more discomfort. This story is about as far from my headcanon as my fave fics go, but it's still canon-compliant: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12680514/1/Tomorrow-and-tomorrow-and-tomorrow

This Romione drabble was my fave fic for ages when I was a teenager: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4776634/1/Where-You-Belong

Most of the above authors have other stories so check them out too! Other authors I enjoy are StarFishStar, Gilpin, HalfASlug, MyDearProfessorMcGonoggal, @floreatcastellumposts, @tmblue, Mosylu.

The above list doesn't have any Wolfstar on I don't think so, I dunno, check my Ao3 bookmarks or something. And I am always on the lookout for good Bellatrix, Bill/Fleur, and Weasley fics, so please recommend any :) x

Edit: Found my Wolftar recs here: https://bikelock28.tumblr.com/post/646710226844827648/do-you-have-any-favourite-wolfstar-fanfiction

[wildegreenlight]

12, 37 (even though I’m pretty sure I know 😂), and 56 for the personal asks!

12) My last dream was about meeting JVN from Queer Eye...we were having lunch and I remembered that I was supposed to be at school, so he decided to come help me teach!

37) oooh! You know I love the FUCK (interpret as you will) but I am also partial to Twat (that’s how rumors get started, right?) 😂😂😂

56) my most used word? Hmmmm...that’s tough...probably “sweetie” or “yalllllll” 😂
