#wip: the alexandria society

[geodetojoy]

For the ask game!

-If money weren’t an issue and you didn’t have to worry about work/paying rent/surviving capitalist hellscape what would you do with your life?

-What’s your favorite fic you’ve ever read and why?

-If you go back and relive one memory, which one would it be?

Ooo hello anon!!

Also this gets a bit personal near the end, especially in 3, which I guess is the point, but be warned!!!

1. I gave an answer for this a bit ago, I rb’d mysti’s post (I’m assuming you’re referencing that, I could be wrong)

But I’ll summarize anyway lmao

First, I’d run away. No exact place in mind, just away from where I am now. The only fragments of my past id bring with me are my cats, maybe one irl friend, and my online friends. Everything else, I’d leave behind.

I wanna give my cats the kind of life they deserve, bc right now they live in a basement with quite literally no access to the sun and it fucking breaks my heart.

I’d live somewhere pretty far out from society, likely near some forest, and I’d surround myself with plants and animals. I’d just love to be in a place with little to no light pollution and beautiful scenery. Not only would I love to live it, but I’d love to paint it too.

I’d focus on art more than anything. I’d finish WIPs, I’d have a studio in my house, I’d write, I’d study game design and make games, and so so much more.

I’d catch up on all of the videos and movies and music I need to see/hear

I’d let myself focus even more on my hyperfixations and throw myself into them entirely

And on top of that, I wouldn’t be afraid to accommodate anything for myself. I’d get rid of everything that causes sensory issues, I’d let myself stim constantly, etc. I just wouldn’t be afraid to be me.

(I think there were a few more things that I’m forgetting lmao so if you wanna dig for my last post feel free)

2. This is. The hardest fucking question I’ve ever gotten. How could you anon /j

There’s no way I could give just one answer so you get a list

1. Ok I can’t find a title bc I read this fucking ages ago but I loved it so fucking much it was a Pokémon fic where Ash and his greninja reunited and they had like telepathy, and it threw in a little bit of amourshipping as well which I used to be a huge sucker for. It’s mainly in this list bc of how well I can/could remember it; I would literally recite it to myself any night I couldn’t sleep bc a. I knew it so well and b. I wasn’t allowed on my phone after a certain time. It was also one of the first fanfics I ever read!

OK OK WAIT I FOUND IT ITS CALLED RETURN OF GRENINJA: UNITED BY ALEXANDRIA PRIME ON FANFICTION.NET

2. You Belong To Me by Smytherines!!!! I fucking love Spies Are Forever so fucking much and this fic kills me every time. Let my boys be happy!!!! Let them be soft!!!! Gah it’s just so beautiful and the art in it is fucking incredible!!! I could talk about it forever

3. Burning flames or paradise? Series by Insomnia!!!!!

Gah I love me some Smalletho!!! My boys just need to have a normal fucking conversation for once!!!

I’m also loving all of the new character additions and all of the relationships- I LOVE GEMS CHARACTER IN IT SMMM DUDE

4. To cradle love in open palms by svnnybee!!!!

The first Scarian fic I ever read and GOD is it a good one

Feat. scar being a big dumb boss and Grian being a little mischievous mole (but not for long bc he falls HARD for the guy he’s trying to spy on)

It’s just soooo fucking precious and sweet and I love them ok?

5. There is nothing more artistic than loving someone by Froggiestarrock!!!

Another Scarian one lmao but college au this time!!! Makes me cry every fucking time I read it dude it’s sooo good and we love some well-written disability rep for scar!!!! And aroace mumbo!!!!!

6. Take it all (even though I have nothing left) by Emojiconuser_456!!!

My absolute FAVORITE Qsmp fic

Charlie centric!!! My fav boy

I just looooove the way this is written and I loooove Charlie’s backstory and I loooove the way the slimes/magmas are written it’s all so beautiful and the WORLD BUILDING oh my god.

7. And how could I make this list without mentioning my writer friends!!!!

First we have eowynarchives with your lucky charm!!! A beautifully written treebark fic with wanderer Martyn and wizard ren!!!! I am in love with how it’s going so far it’s such a good story!!!!!

8. And continuing on we have my dearest soul-bound mother CharBeloved :DDDDD

They’ve written tons of stuff but my fav is Missing Memories, which is being rewritten with a new title of Found but Lost!!! It’s a really interesting genloss story with ciphers/puzzles (which I adore) and it’s got some fuckin crazy lore and I love it

9. Not a fic, but an author whose work I adore soooooo dearly!!! Quillandinktwink!!!! They also write spies stuff, curtwen specifically, and I could read all of their work until the end of eternity and never get tired of it. My fav of theirs right now is and you can savor every word which is a silly little confession story bc of silly little curt mega and his silly little hobby of journaling :)

10 ok I am cutting it here but the Ashamed series by TheBananaOwenSlippedOn (omg spies again who could have guessed) is an incredibly written au about Owen’s past (autistic Owen my beloved) and it’s soooooo painfully tragic and it makes me so fucking sad to think about the implications /ref

There’s so so many more that I didn’t include but I just genuinely can’t pick a favorite I just love fanfiction dude

3. Oooo another hard one!!!

I don’t wanna get too sad and depressing lmao but I don’t have too many good memories tbh?? Like I’ve had good experiences, I know I have, I just usually remember the bad ones, or smth happens that ruins what was once a good memory :/

And there’s tons of stuff that I’d love to go back and change, even if just a little bit, but that’s not the question LMAO

But I’ve got some in mind! And you’re getting another list deal with it /lh

1. My first ever dnd session!!! One part specifically that I’m SUPER fucking proud of-

So our party was kidnapped and imprisoned on a boat, and after we broke out we had to fight the crew. My character was a Druid, and she knew the spell Create or Destroy Water. So what I did was destroy the water in the sea surrounding one side of the boat so that the boat would fall backwards, sending everyone on board soaring in that direction :DDDD

My dm also played into this reaaaaaaly well and said that the lanterns lining the walls fell too and set the whole boat aflame it was fuckin AWESOME

2. My first time(s) talking to my moots!!!!! Mads, char, mysti, and now royal, if any of u see this, y’all have been the fuckin best part of my life and ily all so much I’m so glad to have met you :) <333333

3. The day I got two of my four (now one of my two, we have two away) kitties!!! I used to write about this every time we got a narrative writing assignment in school lmaoo so I’ll do a shortened version of that here >:)

So at my public library one summer, they were holding an event called Cat-urday where they brought a bunch of kitties from the local humane society for people to adopt! We went in, just having moved to a new house, planning to get two cats. I would get to pick one and my brother would get to pick another. I wandered around for a bit until one caught my eye. She was a mixed breed, almost resembling a tabby cat but with a white face, stomach, and boots, she was a few weeks old, and she had sprained her wrist trying to reach out of her cage. I picked her up to see if she would like me, and she practically melted into my chest.

Then, when we brought her home, she made my bed her temporary nest until she was fully nursed to health <33333

In summary, I fucking love my cats

(Btw I still have her, her name is snickers and she is so very dear to me :))) )

4. The day my mom discovered that I’m probably autistic

(I’m self diagnosed, that’s the only reason it’s worded like that)

While not necessarily something I remember fondly, it was an extreme fucking relief to hear that, a, someone else saw it too which really fucking helped with imposter syndrome, and b, I didn’t have to hide it anymore bc I thought that everyone I knew was veeeeeery ableist. Don’t get me wrong she’s still not great about it but just her knowing has made things a lot easier

5. Not one in specific, but I’d like to go back to a good time I had with my dad before I cut contact with him. Back when I thought he was a good person. Just so I could remember what it’s like for a lil bit

Edit: 6. I’d go back to the first time I watched spies are forever :))))))) GOD I fucking love that musical

This got….. incredibly long, sorry anon LMAOOOO

- THE ALEXANDRIA SOCIETY -

"Welcome to the Alexandria Society, you are here because you have potential, no more, and no less."

- ABOUT -

urban fantasy

third person pov

first draft / writing & planning

trigger warnings; blood, gore, ritual, tba

- TROPES & THEMES -

dark academia, wlw romance, knowledge based magic system (learned rituals, ingredients, language etc), hidden society, the demonic & the angelic, new adult, found family, power & corruption

- BLURB -

You can enter the Library Of Alexandria in one of three ways. One; become an initiate of the Alexandria Society and hope you make it to Librarian. Two; stumble across one of the many hidden entrances scattered around the world and make it past the wards. Three; summon a demon and make a deal, hope the demon doesn't take your soul in the process. Most witches choose option one.

Cypher Castellan is a legacy; a daughter of Librarians tracing their way back to the cult of Hekate. Magic is the only thing she has ever loved and the only thing that has truly loved her. With the potential of an entire bloodline singing in her veins, Cypher will become a Librarian. In her family, there's no other option.

Ridley Chance is a watcher, someone who sits on the sidelines and gazes at the lives of others, a daydreamer. Working at the old bookstore on campus, she knows all about the Alexandria Society, the rich and untouchable elite. Or she thought she did, before the door, before the invitation, before the veil lifted from her eyes. Can a girl who barely survived mundanity survived the darkly addictive world of witches?

June Apatow is a traitor. That's what they call witches who turn to forbidden magic. But the Alexandria Society does not know her source, only her potential. And June needs to become a Librarian, needs access to the secrets hidden in the Library of Alexandria. But the Trials of the Inititiates are far from a walk in the park, especially with the Rule Of Three tying June in with a legacy and a nobody. June has never been a team player.

[im-immortal]

a new wip no one asked for (and that i really don’t need)

The survivors wake up one day to find themselves back in the world before The Turn. Ten years of their lives have been washed away overnight, with no explanation.

Everyone who was alive at the time of The Great Reset remembers everything that happened—the apocalypse, the dead walking, their loved ones dying, and an entire decade passing. But none of the people who died can remember any of it.

All around the world, society chalks the sudden flood of traumatized “hallucinations” to some form of mass hysteria. In America, a new diagnosis is coined: “The Jenner Effect.” The likes of which has never been experienced before, and cannot be explained by science.

In an old world that feels brand new all over again, the survivors slowly make their way back to each other, reuniting with found family while also grasping firmly onto their miraculous second chances. However, learning to re-navigate the world from before the outbreak proves an entirely new challenge, as the millions who remember surviving and rebuilding civilization must come to terms with the fact that nothing will ever be the same again.

Ch 1: Welcome To My Lonely World

He was in a helicopter. Lying on a cot, hooked up to medical equipment. Barely conscious.

Jadis was there. She looked different than he remembered. And she was telling him that he was gonna be okay. Assuring him that “they” were gonna take care of him.

He could barely stay awake. Everything was foggy and heavy. His body was full of lead and his eyelids weighed a ton. He wanted to turn his head and look out the window, but he didn’t have the strength.

Everything went black for a moment. Then everything began shaking around him.

The helicopter was rumbling and rolling. Machines started beeping and alarms began to sound. He could hear Jadis’s frantic voice somewhere amongst the chaos.

And suddenly, he was falling.

He felt the rush of wind around his body. Opened his eyes and saw the ground rapidly approaching. 

He was plummeting to earth with nothing to break his fall.

Just as he was about to crash and splatter across the ground, he jolted awake.

Rick Grimes opened his eyes and sat upright, gasping for breath and looking around wildly.

He was in bed. A soft, familiar bed. The spot beside him was empty, but the feminine scent lingering on the pillow and sheets was also familiar. And the room around him was familiar. As well as the sounds coming from outside the door.

It was… home. 

But how?

He tossed the blankets aside and leapt out of bed. He grabbed his cell phone from the nightstand and flipped it open to check the date and time.

6:45 am. September 29, 2010.

He blinked. Rubbed his eyes. Blinked again. Turned his phone off and back on. Yet the time and date didn’t change. 

It was the day he’d been shot. The day he’d gone into a coma.

How was this possible?

He dropped his phone and rushed to the door, yanking it open and hurriedly entering the living room. He had to stop and take a breath, jarred at how everything looked exactly as it should. All the photos were back on the walls and shelves. Everything was as he remembered it.

It was like walking into a memory. Or a dream.

That’s what it was. That’s what this had to be—a dream. There was no way it was real. He certainly hadn’t just dreamt up a decade’s worth of post-apocalypse survival.

No. He was dreaming about his old life. Or maybe he was dead and this is what the afterlife was?

“Lori? Carl? Michonne?!” He called out, searching around for signs of his family.

Then a startling sound hit his ears.

“In the kitchen, babe! Who’s Michonne?”

Lori’s voice.

Rick turned and raced to the kitchen. He skidded to a halt just past the threshold to find a sight he’d thought he would never see again: Lori standing at the counter, preparing two sack lunches, while Carl sat at the breakfast bar and ate cereal. 

What the…

“Are you gonna get ready?” Lori asked, barely glancing back at him. “It’s almost seven, you’re gonna be late.”

But Carl had looked up and spotted the expression on Rick’s face. He furrowed his brow and asked, “Dad, are you okay? You look kinda sick.”

Rick couldn’t decide who to stare at first. His eyes were locked on Lori—alive. Breathing. Standing in the kitchen as if… as if she hadn’t died and been devoured by a Walker.

But then there was Carl. Also alive. Also breathing. And… shit. Younger. Years younger.  Sitting there as if he hadn’t been the one to put a bullet through his own mother’s head to prevent her from reanimating. Still the innocent little boy that Rick liked to remember him as.

It was almost too much for his heart to handle. For a second, Rick thought he actually might be sick.

He had to be. Right? He was hallucinating. Dreaming. Or dead. But there was no way any of this was real.

Lori finally turned around and took in Rick’s appearance. She frowned. “You do look kinda sick—are you runnin’ a fever?”

Before he could stop himself, he was rushing forward and wrapping his arms tight around Lori. Pulling her close, grasping at her desperately. He choked back a sob.

“Lori—oh, God, Lori, I love you, I’m so sorry,” he wept into her shoulder.

She stiffened and hugged him back awkwardly, confused. “Wow, babe. I—I love you, too. But what’s—”

He pulled himself away and turned to Carl, embracing his son with the same desperation and holding him close. Carl reacted similarly to Lori, hugging his dad back with uncertainty while Rick wept against him.

“Oh, Carl—Carl, my sweet boy, I did everythin’ I could to save you. Every damn thing I did was for you!”

“Rick,” Lori demanded. “What the hell is going on? Are you sick? Should I call an ambulance?”

Rick pried himself away from his son and turned to face Lori. Completely serious, he asked, “Is this Heaven? Am I dead?”

Lori’s eyes widened and she exchanged a concerned look with Carl. 

“Dad,” Carl started. “You’re scarin’ me…”

“Rick, if this is a joke, it’s not funny,” Lori said sternly. “I’m literally about to call a doctor—”

“What—just be honest with me!” Rick argued, stepping forward and grabbing her by the arms. “What is this? Where are we? The last time I saw you was in the prison. Don’t you remember? The Governor came for us, and—”

“When were you in prison?” Carl interrupted.

But Lori was fuming. She shoved Rick away. “You need to stop! This isn’t funny, Rick. What the hell are you talkin’ about? You’re scaring Carl, and yer startin’ to scare me, too.”

“What…” Rick froze, perplexed. He looked from Lori to Carl and back again, taking in their bewildered expressions and the hint of fear in their eyes. 

His mind was racing. His heart was thumping wildly in his chest. And suddenly, he was finding it difficult to breathe.

“No,” he muttered. “No, no, no. Hol’ on… the-The Turn. The Walkers. The farm an’ the prison an’ Terminus. Alexandria and the Hilltop and the Kingdom, and—and Judith. You an’ Shane. The Governor. Fuckin’ Negan.”

Lori appeared downright terrified now. She approached him cautiously. “Rick, you’re not making any sense, sweetheart. Maybe you should sit down. I’ll call the doctor—“

Carl stood from his seat and eyed Rick warily. “Mom, is Dad havin’ a stroke?”

Rick looked from his wife to his son with wide, wild eyes. His head was growing lighter by the second. Maybe he should sit down.

“Baby, I’m not really sure,” Lori said. “Go get me the phone, I’m gonna get your daddy some help.”

Carl rushed out of the room, but Rick was focused on trying not to fall over. He reached out for the countertop, steadying himself. Lori appeared at his side, putting her hands firmly on his waist and guiding him towards a chair.

“No,” he mumbled, his voice weakening as his vision grew spotty and dark. “I’m—I’m gonna wake up from this any second. But I don’t wanna lose it.” He grasped at Lori’s arm. “I don’t wanna lose you again.”

“Rick, you never lost me to begin with.” She spoke with a forced calmness, struggling to hide her panic. “You’re delusional. Listen, it’s okay. We’ll get through this. I’m right here, I’m not goin’ anywhere. Just sit down, and we’ll…”

But her voice faded away. And so did everything else.

Rick felt himself plummeting. He felt the ground rapidly approaching once again. Then he lost consciousness.

WIP influences tag

thanks @kittensartswriting and @siarven for the tag! I think the rules are just that you ramble about a few influences for your WIPs so I’m going to do this for The Laoche Chronicles as a whole, including both Storge and the main trilogy that I really need to name. 

Life stuff! 

Sometimes (a lot of the times) reality is stranger than any fiction I could come up with, and so one of my favorite things to do is take scary and relevant irl situations and then recontextualize them in a fantasy world to get a different POV (and give the characters dealing with them a happy ending). For example in Storge: what would a world look like where sexism and racism don’t really exist, but there’s serious systematic oppression based on magic and religion? How does a healthy vs unhealthy family deal with a crisis? how does a society get so polarized? For Laoche: I was sitting in Calc AP my senior year listening to my friends complain about the upcoming test when someone said “I’d kill to get into X program” and my first thought was “hmm. what if?”

This sort of stuff is the driving force behind the themes in all of my stories. No matter how fantastical it gets, it’ll always have that relatable basis in reality to ground readers in the story.

This is going to get long so there’s more under the cut...

Mythology and religion:

This should come as a surprise to absolutely no one given how many religions and variations on religions I worldbuild for this world but the way people understand the supernatural and approach concepts like faith and hope and a higher power fascinate me. Also a really weird thing that I’ve noticed reading modern literature as a devout Catholic (especially YA novels) is that it’s very commonly sterile and secular for some reason? I only realized this after going back to classics this year like Dracula and being surprised when characters write prayers into their diary entries. This shouldn’t have surprised me becasue that’s something I do, but after consuming so much modern media and then going back to it, I found myself weirdly missing how much faith was intrinsically baked into society back then, for better or for worse, because it adds a really interesting dimension to how characters view the world. 

which leads into my next point...

The Sword and Serpent Series by Taylor Marshall and pretty much anything Hannah Heath has ever written (names are links to their books)

I don’t actually like Christian fiction like 90% of the time. A lot of it is written by writers from different protestant denominations which is fine, but sometimes the theology has me going ????, or the genres are just not my thing, and regardless of the denomination it all runs the risk of being really really preachy. (sorry, Narnia, that means you too). These two writers are outliers and I want to be like them when I grow up. 

Hannah Heath is a scifi/fantasy/dystopian writer who actively goes out of her way to tell good stories that also happen to have a Christian theme so that they avoid that preacher pitfall, and her worldbuilding and prose are spectacular. She also tackles a lot of hard themes and is a huge disability advocate which is incredible! I haven’t read all of her works yet but I’m slowly working through them. Skys of Dripping Gold made me cry a few different times and it’s a novella. 

Sword and Serpent is a trilogy historical fiction retelling of the St. George and the Dragon that ALSO deals with the political climate the Roman empire in 333AD and it’s FANTASTIC. There are saint cameos everywhere and if you know their stories it’s really cool to spot them even if you don’t recognize their period-accurate names, and it does a great job of showing how much the underground church relied on each other to survive. The character arcs and dynamics are amazing, the way it blends mythos and reality is amazing, and my (unfairly underrated imo) confirmation saint, Catherine of Alexandria, is a main character in the 2nd book so what more could you want??

Rangers Apprentice by John Flanagan and The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander

moreso for Laoche than Storge but these were my favorite book series in middle school when I first came up with the story and their general genre inspired a lot of what Laoche eventually would become. Grand adventures with epic final battles, a small band of heroes trying to save a kingdom becasue they have the knowledge of how, and earning the trust and help of other people through their heroic actions. Swords and magic and bows and knifes and cool capes/cloaks and horses and castles and all that good Fantastical Medieval Aesthetic stuff I absolutely ate up as a kid. Also Alexander’s mastery of voice with the different characters and Taran’s character arc and the platonic love and banter in RA  have me dying every time every time I reread them. Good quality fun all around

The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson

Didn’t influence me in time for Storge but now I’m rehauling everything in Laoche becasue I’m ~inspired~. I can’t speak to the extent to which it’ll influence me yet but I expect it’s going to be a LOT. Thanks Jana XD 

Honorable Mentions:

J.R.R. Tolkien because what list of influences for a Catholic high fantasy author would be complete without him? This explains itself I think

Avatar the Last Airbender and everything about the way it handles themes and characterization. Also self explanatory because it’s the best

So many??? people here on writeblr! I am so inspired by everyone who is brave enough to put their writing out there and I have read stuff on here that’s better than published books. It would take too long to name everyone, but just assume that if you’re reading this and you got this far in the post I mean you.

A lot of classic literature? Not a direct influence per se but the writing style is something I want to emulate. Some of my favorites are The Count of Monte Christo, Dracula, A Tale of Two Cities, Frankenstien (sans Victor’s incessant whining), The Divine Comedy, A BUNCH of scifi stuff by Jules Verne and H.G. Wells I loved in middle school and need to reread, and Little Women. 

movies and music should also probably go here but that’s a rant for a different day. I take more general vibes and aesthetics from those. 

Tagging (no pressure though!): @andiwriteunderthemoon @abalonetea @inkwell-attitude @zielenbloesem

Alpha Centurion War Battle of the Andromeda Galaxy and Battle of the Milky Way Galaxy

 Excerpt from my wip about queer Indigenous poc 

Hurit Ridley Clark as someone two spirit was very accepting of Kana’i Makoa Latu/Ataahua Kamalani Latu’s cultural identity and gender identity as a two spirit Blackfoot and Coastal Salish Indigenous person. They were also interested to discuss the cultural differences between being mahu or maohi & two spirit when they were together. On Turtle Island Two Spirit people are often times involved on a ceremonial level as well as gender ID. For a lot of Canadian tribes view them as medicine people. They helped him her them find acceptance as a mahu elder and leader. Meeting Hurit a Hurit Ridley Clarke a Salish and Blackfoot Indigenous two spirit person was very eye opening to him/her/them in his/her/their journey in reconnecting connecting and decolonizing. Ryuu Kato/Haruka Kato appreciated what they taught him/her/them when they were together. Being two spirit takes strength in perception of self. Being 2S takes strength in challenging colonized society's perceptions on ethnicity, culture, gender identity, gender roles, ceremony, presentation, etc. That's why it's so important to see the journey two spirit Indigenous individuals undergo. Being mahu or maohi is also similar to two spirit to Indigenous Pasifika since it is a cultural identity and gender identity as well as a cultural responsibility and spiritual obligation. So it effects how Alexander Mack Smith/Alexandria Macy Smith sees himself/herself/themselves as a clan leader as a elder and as a healer among his her their community and clan or hapau family or whanau and nation or iwi. People came to people who are mahu or maohi for guidance and it was a duty we did until colonizers said that our gender fluidity and gender identity was wrong that is and Polynesians started to accept colonial western ideals of gender binary and sexual orientation binary. A death an elder is something so many grieve A passing of an mahu or maohi leader or a two spirit elder is something everyone mourns. Hurit Ridley Clarke grieved so much when their ex the Asian and Latinx Native superhero Francisco Alejandro Diego Garcia Ochoa/Francisca Maria Garcia Ochoa died.·So many people from Indigenous Pasifika communities and Turtle Island Indigenous communities came to grieve him/her/them after his/her/their murder by the Terran Dominion. People decided to honor him her them with a statue with his her their families consent. Hurit Ridley Clarke Ana Anacaoana Ahura Lagunas Zaghloul Chaske Kiran Tiwari and Tanaya Avery Johnson his/her/their Indigenous exes all grieved for him/her/them. At his her their commemoration they said parting words. Shared stories since they were some of those who knew him/her/them. Loretta Dawn Isip Inayat Aloomse Barnett Hibiki Higa Hayashi Dior Linh Heimana Tran and Hokulani Zhao Kaimana Ya Keali’i his/her/their Indigenous wives buried him/her/them in his/her/their home in Hawaii. The ocean and the sea claimed her child born of earth ocean and sky

Solomon: Cabal II

As our last post could only cover a small selection of Cabals, here are some more: 

Dreamwalkers Guild: A small cabal made of somewhat loosely affiliated Oneiromancers, the Guild is one of the few places one can go to learn the art of dreams. 

Fellowship of Dawn: There are cults everywhere, most are just scams exploiting people for sex and money. The Fellowship is not one of those, under the guise of new-age spiritual enlightenment the Fellowship’s magically aware leaders have revived the cult of Sol Invictus in their L.A. headquarter. 

Alexandrian Society: The Alexandrians are the heirs to the Great Library of Alexandria, for centuries they have toiled at creating the world’s foremost repository of knowledge. Although once housed in Bagdad, Cairo, and London, the Society moved to Washington DC in the second half of the 20th century after wars threatened their work. 

Gaian Commune: The Commune is a neo-druidic initiative located deep in the woods of Oregon bordering California. For two decades the group has formed a small autonomous commune among the redwood trees, taking the ancient druidic arts to the new world. 

Midnight Court: Aristocracy has long dabbled in the occult arts, never content with mere worldly powers, many sought a great kind of. Most failed, getting duped by charlatans, or unwilling to truly commit to the art. But a few did find true power. In a world of democracy where many noble lineages perished by revolution, the Court has been largely left behind, a remnant of older days that refuse to die. 

Stewards of the Throne: Any practitioner worth their salt know the legend of the practitioner-kings of the first civilization; divinely inspired men and women who first discovered magic and brought a golden age never seen since their fall. The Stewards not only believe in the legends but also that a new king or queen will pass the trials of the Island and ascend to the throne to lead humanity into the next age. In a world where most have dismissed the kings and trials as legends, the Stewards search far and wide for the one who may be the chosen one. 

Kingsbury Founders: In the early days of American Colonization, Five families of practitioners fleed the old world, settling down in Georgia where they would found the town of Kingsbury. There they rebuilt their power base and influence, the families held in an unsteady truce with fear of mutually assured destruction should war wage between them. 

Ravenguard: The Ravenguard is a dedicated pseudo-knightly order venerates the Great Raven, a powerful death spirit responsible for the order’s founding and teaching them the art of Psychopomps. The Order has long been tasked with the eradication of undeads, necromancy and all those who would corrupt the natural order. The Ravenguard is wildly unpopular, to say the least, and has long had to operate in secret. 

Asclepian Society: The society is the greatest association of healers, dating back to the Ancient Greeks, the society has been studying the healing arts for thousands of years and serves as the foremost experts on the magic of life, healing, poison, and sickness. 

Gaian Revanchists: Not all druids are gentle loving people, some are violent lunatics. The Gaian Revanchists are publically just another eco-terrorist group. However, for the past few years, many of their members have become practitioners and engaged in supernaturally empowered acts against corporate interests across the world in vulnerable environments. 

Olympian Synod: The Synod is a greek polytheistic organization that for the past few decades has been muscling in on the worship of the Olympians, forcing all aligned hierophants and priests to submit to the Synod’s authority and claiming a united pantheon and priesthood. 

Thyrsus Fraternity: Few things make worse combinations than Frat boys and magic, but there is the Thyrsus Fraternity, officially hidden as another greek life fraternity, the Thyrsus harbor a secret cult of Bacchus, god of Revels and throws the wildest parties. Parties so wild, sometimes someone gets eaten alive at them. 

Downtrodden Saints: The Saints are a very small cabal, only five members, but one of the most notorious as they are an underground punk band quite popular among the magical youth. They mix bardic lore with heavy guitar riffs, rebellious lyrics, and a take-no-shit attitude.

Welcome to my compiling of compelling Comic Negan fanfiction! If you’re looking for fics that focus more on Negan’s comic incarnation, well, here you go!

I used to try to update this list monthly, but it’s going to be probably every few months from now on. New additions are at the bottom and in italics.

As of this update, I’m also including fics I’ll describe as (Exception To) These are fics that are either based off TV Negan or seem to be based off him, but I still think Comic Negan aficionados will enjoy as well.

As always, if you like a fic, please leave the writer a comment or give them a kudos/like/reblog or whatnot. Writers appreciate your support and feedback so very much!

In no particular order:

Stigmatic by 217. Follow Negan’s POV as he leads the Saviors in what starts off as comic canon, before venturing into wonderfully AU territory. Also featuring 217’s most excellent OCs; she is truly a master at crafting real, well-rounded and interesting characters. She also has such a talent for writing Negan true to the comics and yet making her own unique version of his character as well. The plotline of this story is always moving forward as the Saviors travel through the highs and lows of life in the apocalypse. On ff.net On A03

217 has also done some AU series within the Stigmatic verse:

Phlegmatic: which is an AU take on Alice and Negan if they had met before the ZA. On ff.net On A03

Haematic which is another pre-ZA AU take where Negan struggles to raise his and the late Lucille’s daughter, Lulu (and her pet lobster, Crusty!), all by his lonesome. On ff.net On A03

Fics by WattStalf. She has quite a few Negan fics, most of which are nice bite-sized reads and quite enjoyable. Here’s three of my favorites.

His Favorite Girl Smut involving Negan and his favorite girl… why, who else but Lucille the Vampire bat?

Making Like A funny and sexy Negan/Rick fic.

One Night Stand Negan and Olivia smut. Hell yeah.

And here is her complete TWD list

A Wolf at the Door by Misterkingdom: A very well-written fic where Negan makes sure Rick knows who the King Dick Motherfucker is around here.

Beautiful Tragedy by 217: Yet another gem by this master writer of ole Negan. However, RM (aka ‘Rude Motherfucker’) the OC of this story, doesn’t see Negan in the most flattering light. One of Negan’s (aka ‘Dumpy’s) wives, she uses his perks to support her ongoing drug addiction, that is, until Negan takes note…and he doesn’t approve. The dialogue in this story is absolutely a riot, as RM’s mouth and thoughts are every bit as vulgar and outrageous as Negan’s! On ff.net On A03

217 also has quite a few shorter fare for those that balk at lengthier stories (but trust me, they are worth every word!) My personal favorites are The Cleansing which is a pitch-back affair, Negan’s Number What? (a birthday present to me a few years ago, and the hottest Negan/Sherry smut EVER!), and Non-NEGotiable which is a Stigmatic smut where Negan loses a bet and his ass to Alice. On ff.net On A03

The Life of Negan & Lucille by TeamCarlisle: Based off the ‘Here’s Negan’ backstory, it’s Negan and Lucille’s pre-apocalypse days before it all fell apart. Sweet and yet heartbreaking, it’s a treat to see Negan in his pre-Savior days. But get your tissues out for this one!

Recollection by 217: Another goodie by 217, this is based off the ‘Here’s Negan’ backstory and contains part of his life with Lucille. On ff.net On A03

Embracing the Apocalypse by Embracetheapocalypsewithme (SomewhatSlightyDazed) Sanctuary and the Saviors has gained a new member, Rebecca, who struggles to find a foothold in this new society, but soon has captured the attention of Negan. He himself has been newly reinstated as the Savior’s leader and is also on unsure ground, unlike his previous bout of leadership. The two share a similar sense of humor and a need for a new start, but nothing is ever easy in the post-apocalyptic world.

This is yet another story that captures the charm, awkwardness and humor of Comic Negan, and features a very funny OC as well. Very much worth a read!

SomewhatSlightyDazed also has several shorts (mostly smutty, but a few aren’t.) They’re great for a quickie. A quick read, that is. ;) My personal favorites are: Post-Apocalyptic Driving School, Guys Like Him (Olivia and Negan, always a treat!), and Double-Dare (Smutty threesome with Negan and his wives. Yum!)

Through the Valley by Dusty Cookie Another merry jaunt into Sanctuary and the lives of the Saviors. Several Saviors, while out on a run, spot a female apparently living all on her lonesome and think she might be a good asset for Sanctuary. Now Negan just has to convince her she has a place there, and our story begins. :)

Dusty writes an absolutely fantastic Negan and her OCs are also well-written and interesting. Her dialogue and overall writing style is also so entertaining, witty, and just a pleasure to read. Try Chapter 1, and you’ll be hooked! On ff.net on A03

Dusty also has several short fics that are all equally great… but watch out for that catty Miss Fiona in The Hand that Feeds!

Tender Prey by bigcatsandkatanas I’m very bad and haven’t reviewed this one yet. I haven’t read a lot of them, so maybe it’s a bit pre-mature to say, but I think this is my favorite Regan fic. We have a bit more of a humble and lonely Negan due to his incarceration by good ole Prick Grimes, and it makes for one smutty tale I adore. Negan is written really great in this and despite being mostly smut, it’s also got some nice character moments for Negan. I really like it.

Gifts by redheadedwhat A nice little Negan/OC smut for your reading pleasure. Some humorous bits and of course, some very lovely smut.

Hurt by opheliadawnwalker3 Perhaps leaning more towards TV Negan, this is still a really good (and heart-wrenching) short about Negan and Lucille and her very bad news.

Satellite Days by Kinkozan After the Whisperer War, Negan has been living in an old outpost from the Savior days, and he finds himself in the company of Toni, another survivor who isn’t quite welcome around her old communities anymore either. They must try to survive in their new environment, as well as survive each other.

Backspin by Kinkozan Negan’s wife Charli’s plans of giving him a much-deserved spanking and trying to assert herself in the relationship might come back to bite her in the ass. Smut and angst.

Lupienne’s Negan fanfictions. Here’s my additions to the Comic Negan bookcase. I have a long WIP involving Negan and the boring domestic affairs of his wives, as well as a few shorter reads that are mostly of the smut variety. On A03 On ff.net (I don’t have them all on there, but if you prefer reading on this site…)

Enigmatic by 217: Based off Here’s Negan 15, where Negan receives a nasty wound from a fellow survivor. Upon going to clean out his wound, Negan meets an OC who is all too eager to give him some ‘healing.’ On ff.net On AO3

Love(d) by Dusty Cookie A pre-ZA short with Negan and Lucille. Dusty doesn’t just tug at your heartstrings, she rips them right out of your body.

WIP by Metal Butter Metal Butter mentioned a prisoner Negan fic they were writing, and upon my request, posted a snippet of it! It’s not complete, but it’s awesome just as it is. I love the way Negan is written as he narrates from his prison cell. Also contains shades of Regan. Yum!

In the Twilight Kingdom by Embracetheapocalypsewithme (SomewhatSlightlyDazed) Filled with grief over his recently deceased Lucille, Negan struggles to live and find a reason for doing so in the dangerous new world of the apocalypse.

Decomposition by 217: “Do you know what decomposition is? Answer the goddamn question.” A dark short of Negan’s thoughts as Lucille claims another life.

Bedtime Stories by Embracetheapocalypsewithme (SomewhatSlightyDazed): What happens when Negan finds out some of the Sanctuary women have been writing porn about him?

Last Chance Revival by 217. This fic follows an AU, non-ZA Negan as he tends bar in a rough part of town, where the highlight of his night is watching quirky OC’s Murphy’s ass leave the bar in her tight leopard print spandex. On ff.net On AO3

Heart in a Blender by Bigcatsandkatanas. A Negan/Rick fic set in a non-apocalyptic AU verse. Negan, lonely and despondent after his divorce with Lucille, decides to take a chance and use a dating app. When he accidentally matches with Rick Grimes, it’s the start of an awkward friendship (and maybe more?) Bigcatsandkatanas writes an excellent Negan, from his personality to his dialogue.

I Bless the Rains Down at Sanctuary by Redheadedwhat. Negan’s wife Tallulah discovers the hilarity of a drunken Negan. And an important question is pondered…just what did happen to the band members of Toto after the apocalypse?

Exhaust by Spliced-up Angel. An AU take on All out War. What if Negan hadn’t lost that last battle? Told from Carl’s POV, the young Grimes struggles to adapt to Negan’s rule over Alexandria. Since the story is all from Carl, Negan isn’t painted in the most flattering light. His dialogue is hilarious and poor Carl finds himself in a few embarrassing situations due to Negan’s lack of shame.

The tumblr Masterlist for Dusty-cookie. Suitable for liking, rec’ing and reblogging!

Dixon Dallas by 217. An AU smut involving Negan as a porn star :D

Priorities by Dusty Cookie. A fluffy short, perfect for snuggling up with on a cold winter day!

Happy Fucking Birthday by Dusty Cookie. Negan gives the present of smut to his favorite birthday girl.

Careful What You Wish For by Dusty Cookie. More glorious smut! I only wish for more!

The tumblr Masterlist for Embracetheapocalypsewithme. Great for reblogging and giving this writer more exposure. Do it!  

An Enemy of the Crows by redheadedwhat. A chance encounter with a crow will change Negan’s life forever. :)

Cursed Land by Embracetheapocalypsewithme (SomewhatSlightlyDazed on AO3). This tale begins with a map with a blacked-out section Negan refuses to speak about… a fic to read with all the lights on!

The Love You Take by Embracetheapocalypsewithme (SomewhatSlightlyDazed on AO3). A lonely, exiled Negan investigates mysterious music he keeps hearing at night…

Yes, Mistress by Embracetheapocalypsewithme (SomewhatSlightlyDazed on AO3). Negan gets some new jewelry for Sherry to wear. She isn’t exactly enthused about it…but Negan can be pretty convincing ;) Glorious smut!

I’ll Always Be With You by Maggie Monster. Lucille has passed on, yet she has never left Negan’s side.

Irrational Fears by Embracetheapocalypsewithme. Even the fearless Negan has some irrational fears.

Hush by Dusty Cookie. Nothing like some public sex to get Little Negan all riled up ;)

Illicit Intervention by 217. This fic takes place before the apocalypse and involves Negan’s troubled marriage to Lucille and the woman he finds outside of it.

After Life by Dusty Cookie. Angsty Negan and Lucille.

Untitled (Regan smut) by Likeagoddamn cat. Some nice Regan smut based off Negan’s infamous ‘sad eye contactless handjob’ line from the comics.

His Beautiful Lady by Dusty Cookie. Negan foot-fetish smut! The world needs more of this! ;P

217fanfic’s Tumblr masterlist, suitable for reblogging and bookmarking. :)

Help Me Out by genevievedarcygranger. Prisoner Negan, Rick, and comments about handjobs lead to some Regan goodness.

Fics by Bunnylouisegrimes. Bunny is a new writer to the Negan scene and here’s some of her works I’ve enjoyed. Since I believe she writes more for TV Negan, these are (Exception To) :)

Lullaby of a Dead Man - Negan finds himself betrayed and fighting for his life.

Regret An intro to Bunny’s OC and a look into Negan’s regrets.

My Imaginary Friend isn’t that Imaginary AU in which Negan is the guardian to a young girl who is very special to him.

Gone Away, Out of Reach by Marium. (Exception To) TV based/AU and heavy on the angst. While in his cell, Negan learns some tragic news.

Fuck You by Annablack1102 (Exception To/seems comic-Negan enough to me) Sub Negan, smut, and strap-ons....what is not to like?

Ok guys, that’s it for this update! Happy reading! I’ve got a big ole reading queue to catch up on, so hopefully come next update, I’ll have another heaping pile of fictional joy for ya’ll.

(Reblogs of this post are appreciated to help give these writers more exposure. :))

[spenceraverywrites]

So, I don’t have a WIP to show off this Sunday in Six Sentences, but I do have the beginning of a story that I’m not sure I’ll ever develop further. It was really just a pick-me-up challenge: I was feeling a bit low today, and just let myself write.

It centers on a girl who gets broken up with by her fiance, and in a moment of resolution, decides that this is a sign to do something impulsive: in that case... well, read on and see.

Maybe this will be something I develope further. I’ve always kind of wanted to write a magic solarpunk story, which is where this is headed.

Sarina Maesin received the note at 3:53 a.m., one of the few times that Fable City was quiet and at peace.

The note was High Priority, so her implants forced her awake: anything set above Level 8 did, including work, which she hated but knew was a tiny bit necessary. Being a Bijou often meant odd hours when there were bigger, grander orders or jewels and augments to craft, and today had been an odd houred day: she'd only be tucked in bed an hour, bleary from the rare eight hour shift she'd had to suffer through, eyes still pinching at the corners from staring through her lenses as she formed new facets.

"Open," she groaned, fingers too stiff to do the proper twitch commands, and her eyescreens lit up in a faded orange, washing her vision with eye-stinging clarity a wide screen set to her mailbag mailbox popped up, and the Level 8 mail opened.

There was no title, but there was Aracelle's Link ID and a time stamp. Below, there were just two words:

We're done.

No preamble, no "It's not you, it's me", no simpering kindness to dull the blow that her fiance was leaving without any more than two words.

Sarina sighed and turned over in bed, and didn't even bother with tears: this

She thumbed through spam every time this happened because even in a near-perfect feature, people still built bots that pumped out more ads for male enhancement mods than society ever needed. She deleted those first with her waking, twi

Are you interested in being a kind colonizer?

Sarina sniffed a bit too loudly: hard enough that it made her cough. In another time, and definitely on Earth, her midnight skin would have meant she was being kindly colonized. Now, it only meant going to a genuinely empty rock in the void of space and trying to hardscrabble things for a while before going back home on the next hypership crossing the system.

Still, a big part of her wished they'd say "resident" instead of colonizer. Even here on Marte, still close enough to Earth, the word stung, as if a genetic memory.

There was a few paragraphs about Anemone: it was a sea planet with hundreds of island and a 90/10 split on water to land. It was tropical, and the pictures of the major cities -all with flowy sounding names like Peleram, Jutune, and Clari - had colorful sands, illuminated by the twin moons high in the sky. It looked like a vacation promo, more than her potential new home.

Like all experiemental planets, it had two variables meant to augment life so they'd seem "interesting": on this planet, everyone had to surge in gills and webbing -for living an amphibious life- and you had to get an augment so that you could interact with the hyper-strong magnetic field of the planet, thus producing what this company had flat-out called "magic".

That seemed pretty kick to Sarina.

If you said or even thought yes to any, consider becoming a new resident of Anemone, then please, read the information below, and take a chance: apply today!

There were some flashy charts, some statistics, and a few videos that she skimmed through. She set the rest of them to brain load once she went into REM: she'd watch everything in depth later.

She did have Melo check it: house A.I. were snappy and smarter than any sapient, and could sniff out lies from a pile of nice-seeming facts. When it came back completely clear -Melo had even pulled genuine websites and links and profiles, along with the planet's data- Sarina scrolled down to the simple submission form.

Perhaps it was being awake so late. Perhaps it was a bit of loneliness. In all honesty, it was probably the dull thud of resolution she was feeling. The break-up rang through her, vibrating down to her bones.

Aracelle and her had been on the rocks for the last two years, on again only to be right back off. It'd become their thing: Aracelle would send her

This time, it had been just two words. That was enough to make it feel much more final.

There were a thousand spots left for Fable City: a thousand other people who'd get on a hypership next Friday, after a battery of medical. In two weeks, she could shift her work to another place: she freelanced anyways, and her office in the Artificer District was easy enough to fit into a few cargo crates and setup elsewhere.

She could do this: she could keep things permanently off.

Most of the information auto-filled from her public profile: she just had to select a few things. First,the type of living she'd like -compact and suburban- and what type of work she'd like to do. She almost opted for none: everywhere had Basic Income Guarantees, but she'd still want to freelance. Maybe Bijou were rare on Anemone. She could always switch if she just wanted the experience.

Finally, her preference for magic.

That felt strange, but as she looked at the list, she found herself imaging all of the holos she'd watched as a kid. Opus Alexandria -Earth's revival of the ancient library- had digitized all the books that could be found, and Sarina had tore through every bit of fantasy. She'd devoured everything from boy wizards to fae in forests, girls with swords who could see the threads of things and women who were half dragon.

She had thought that was kid stuff, but here she was, 29 and single, and about to choose magic. She snorted again.

Undecided. That felt best. She'd let what happened...happen. If this was even real, that is.

A few more clicks and she was able to submit. Her implants went dark, and she exhaled into the perfect cool of her apartment, ready to go back to sleep.

Twenty minute later, her implants woke her again with eye stinging clarity. It was a new note: not from Aracelle, but from The Anemone Movement. She thumbed it open with a groan, and blinked the letters into clarity.

Dear, Sarina Maesin,

We are happy to notify you that you have been accepted for placement on Anemone as one of the thousand residents of Fable City, located on Marte.

We will be in contact with you soon! Get ready for your new life as a new resident of the town of Nereilin!

"Nice," Sarina whispered. That was much quicker than she'd expected. A few pings came in with forms and digi-flyers advertising Nereilin. It was a smaller town of 6,141 sapients with a human and faerun leaning population: much, much less dense than Fable City, but still enough that she could find work.

At the very least, Sarina would chase this in a few days at the general meeting she'd received a pin for, just to see what happened. It was in one of the spires downtown, so it was sure to be safe: she wouldn't get inducted into a cult and not be able to tell anyone. And If it was legit, then she'd really do it: she had more than enough in her pocket to move rock any day, and now… no ties. Her family had relocated back to Earth to live in their genetic homeland once Sarina had finished university on the moon.

Now, It was all a matter of planning.

She opened a fresh note without thinking, not even bothering with a reply to Aracelle's original message because honestly, the break-up was stinging now, more than her eye screens ever could. Sarina even titled it, to be nice: About Breaking Up With Me. Might as well call it what it is.

I saw your message. Thanks.

That's fine that we're done.

I'm thinking of going into space anyways.

[adler-obsessed]

Can we send you asks about your wip? I know some writers don’t like to share much/give anything away? If you’re okay with it, would you mind telling me about the sorcerers in your world, as they seem to play a v interesting social role??

Oh my god, I love getting asks about my wip!! Please, feel free to ask anything ;)

So the sorcerers and their role in the world is v interesting. Because of magic and their long life, they are sort of seen as the natural guardians and protectors of the Fourteen Kingdoms - most armies have several squadrons of mages, all royal courts have several Arcane advisors, and indeed most academic discoveries, recording of history and documents is carried out by mages either at Egal’livria (the seat of the Consortium of Mages) or at the White Citadel (think the library of Alexandria if it never burned down - though that’s not to say it won’t…)

However, although they are recognised in this role, that is not to say mages are fully accepted in society - magic is often attributed to be the cause of much evil e.g. the Three Calamities, the Titan’s eye and much else. 

The most recent bout of fear comes from the creation of the Virgosian Empire. Why? Because for the first time ever, mages are allowed to hold positions of power of their own in human society, not just under the command of someone else. Irina, another sorceress, practically ruled the Empire for near three centuries instead of the supposed emperor before her death. Amongst the kingdoms, there is a growing fear that mages have grown too powerful and influential. 

Because of this mistrust of mages and their power, they are definitely the social outcasts -  most mages are disowned, kicked out of noble families and unable to inherit lands or titles, or persecuted until they are taken to a college. It is only mages that humanity deem agreeable or resectable that venture far from the haven of their college.

The Character’s Familial/Biographical Information

Birthplace: Ball Ground, Georgia

Home:

She lived in a tree house that was made when her and her brother were kids, sometimes staying in Crystal Lake if needed.

She was later taken in to Alexandria

Family:

Elizabeth Brandston - Mother, 40y - Left with Vic was 4, Status is unknow

Mark Alexander Wild - Father, 42y - Died when Vic was 6 and Jack was 15

Jackson Branston - Brother, 19y - Died when Vic was 10, Were always together before his death

Familial Background:

Elizabeth came from a rich family who were respected in their neighbour hood and often got invited to large events like galas or grand party's.

Mark was born into a middle-class family who worked hard and were glad to have what they did. They were also the owners of a ranch that sold a lot of products to markets and stores in the city.

The two meet when Mark was making a delivery to one of the local supporting stores and after a while of talking the two began to date.

They we're happy together and Their family's were happy for them.

In 1991 Jackson was born, with Victoria coming into the world 9 years later.

Elizabeth had began to grow tired and was beging to grow annoyed by Mark's lack of spending habits (he prefers to make things by hand present wise and she didn't see any value in the hard worm). It had eventully grown to a point where she left him to find someone who would "'provide the type of life i always wanted and deserved"

After the messy breakup Mark moved to the outscurts of Ball Ground, Georgia with Vic and Jack where they started a small bussiness looking and training animals untill the apocalios came.

Character Background:

From a young age Victoria was a curious and energetic child with a fast developing mind.

She leads to speak quickly, though writing was a bit changing as it was difficult to keep her in place long enough to get her to write. (Mark was worried it was ADHD but the doctors just said it was because she had a lot of energy and needed to move around. So reading and writing practice didn't start still she was 4 and a half).

Her child hood was good, she got to be with animals, her brother and father would always be around and she made friends with most (nearly all) of her class on the first day of school.

Life seemed to be perfect, untill the apocalypse hit.

The walkers came quick, and her father died well Jackson and herself escaped. Hidding in their tree house.

After 4 years from the beging, Jackson made a wrong move well scavenging and got himself bit. With a 10 year old Victoria having to be the one to kill him.

Happy STS! 🥳💕 Question of the week is: An OC of your choice (or multiple OCs) empties their pockets and/or bag. What are they carrying? - Mae (@touchingmadness)

Thanks for asking! I'll try to do one oc from each...

- THE ALEXANDRIA SOCIETY -

Ridley opens her bag (a sturdy brown leather satchel) and the first thing you notice is that it smells very strongly of antique bookstore. She begins to carefully empty it's contents onto the desk in front of her, a well-loved leather-bound notebook, several black ink pens, an old copy of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and curiously, a number of leather scroll cases with a stylised letter A embossed on each lid.

- DAWNLESS -

Willim turns out his inner pockets with a guilty smile. From the steady pile of supplies that begin to pile onto the snow before him, it is clear he was preparing for a hunt. Snares, a large hunting knife with a bone handle and a pristine leather scabbard, two carved dog whistles, wax wrappings that surely contain dried meats and winterberries, a full water skin, tinderbox and spare bowstrings. Reluctantly, Willim also reveals a small pouch of precious herbs used to ease pain.

- THE GABRIEL RATCHET -

Dot tumbles through the kitchen access to the courtyard, her skirts hiked up to carry something nestled in the basket she has made out of them. Carefully she sets the whole thing down on the kitchen counter, uncaring of her bared leggings. A large straw nest dirties the fine pattern of her clothing, six tiny eggs, fragile blue speckled things, peer up from the straw. As her sisters gather around to coo at her find, she slips a daisy into the hand of her twin, her brother, that had been hidden in her skirt pocket. Lord Farrier has had all flowers purged from the estate grounds since Dot and Edwin were eight years old. Either she found one before it could be excavated or she went beyond the estate. She does not specify.

- HOWL -

Robbie turns out his pockets in frustration, hunting for his perpetually elusive keys. Several items fall from his hoodie pockets to the soft landing of his bed, crumpled reciepts, many foil wrapped sticks of watermelon flavoured chewing gum, stones that he picked up on his way back from work and thought were cool looking, a tangled knot that was once earphones and his keys, attached to a keyring in the shape of a small vinyl record of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. He does not notice them in the mess.

- PARABLE OF THE HOUND -

Flea has only three things in her pockets; a small notebook with many years of scrawled words in a bastardised latin language no mundane would recognise, a pin pulled from the lapel of her jacket as she has donned her mundane clothing, the pin is a silvered depiction of an outstretched hand with an eye on the palm. Lastly, Flea carries with her always a silver ring inlaid with a small ruby. It was her mother's.

WIP Poll Update

You didn't know you were participating in an experiment, but you were. My theory was that people would vote on WIPs that are close to being done. Hypothesis confirmed (Bill Nye party horn).

Some projects have been deleted due to lack of interest.

Per a complicated point system and ranked choice voting:

First place: 23%

A Dog Named Chai Drarry, some Harry/Charlie Fluff/Angst/Domestic/HURT/Comfort/Smut Demisexual Harry having immigrant kid feelings and bonding with a grey-eyed dog. Currently 20k and growing, estimated 80-100k.

Second Place: 14%

Garnishes II Louis Weasley(veela)/Draco. SMUT. Rivals to... rivals, but with sex. And a Toblerone. Currently 5k, probably 12k finished.

Third Place: 11%

Fist-Full Drarry Smut Just a casual backroom fisting in a vintage confessional between school rivals. Take that, Potter. Don't mind if I do. Currently 2.5k, estimated 5k maybe. Art is required for the ending. LMK if you take unmarked bills.

Fourth Place (Tie): 10.7% each

Machine Gun Astoria Drastoria/Dark Drarry dubcon Action Astoria's covered in tattoos and takes zero shit. She and Scorp are Naginis. Her husband goes missing. She never did trust that Parseltongued Auror bastard around her husband. 30-50k The first chapter is done. I intentionally withheld this information, because I'm a dick.

And

Bodies in Motion Drarry Crack/Smut/Light Angst Harry's ripped as fuck and has casual body image issues and no social life outside the gym. Draco is an unattractive nerd who is vaguely aware his brain requires a body to function, but would rather build Teddy a Hogwarts Minecraft realm than acknowledge his own corporeal form. But he's weirdly good in bed. Currently 5k, maybe 15k total.

Fifth Place (Three-way Tie): 8% each

Puer Delicatus Drarry, Theo/Draco, spoilers/spoilers Angst/Smut/Hurt/Comfort Hmm... I'm going to go with "Culturally-normalized sexual abuse of young men in wizard society" for a summary. Everybody has PTSD. Arthur is the dad everyone needed. Harry just keeps punching people who care for him. Draco is 150% not okay. Theo is a deity who will dick you down for your own good. His wife said it's fine. 20-40k. This might will get hot-written daily chapters with reader steering via Tumblr like It'll Come Back. This will hurt far more. Block #puerdelicatus now.

Services Rendered Drarry, Harry/Many Thinky Smut/Angst Power bottom Harry gets kicked out of his favorite dungeon. Draco drags him to a formal D/s dinner, and Harry's very soul revolts and tries to leave through his pores when presented with domestic duties. He cries himself to sleep naked in a collar on a pile of coats because he's a shitty boyfriend. Currently 7k, probably 12k total. (There's a finished craft project for this one.)

Draco Malfoy: International Monster Fucker Dramione, Draco/Monsters Crack/Smut Draco's official title is "Beast Husbandry Specialist". Hermione is his supervisor. She needs detailed reports from his assignments. So detailed. Exactly what were the girth of those tentacles, and where did they go? How did the, uhm, specialist feel about it? HOW many genders of centaurs are there? You did WHAT to them? She will take these reports to her office and read them alone now. No calls. 15-25k

Sixth Place: 3.5%

Quicksilver and the Dead Drarry Pastoral horror?/Action/dubcon Draco has to learn to survive lifetime confinement to the Manor grounds alone. Lots of world building. Accidental hereditary necromancer Draco versus surprise villain. 60-80k There's actually about 10k done of this, but I didn't mention it to test the "We just want the WIP that's almost done" theory.

The Garbage Can: 0%

Written History Immortal Drarry Action/Angst Harry is a soldier from Palmyra during the 273 AD assault on the Library of Alexandria. Draco is an exiled Spartan-turned-scribe. They keep running into each other at major world conflicts, always with Harry on the wrong side of history and Draco recording it. Until Harry gets it right. 20-40k The first chapter is done and will be posted and consigned to a one-shot.

Codename Snitch Drarry Action/Smut/Angst Harry is an undercover agent/pro Seeker. Russian mafia things happen. 10-50k. I have no idea, because I'm not sure how this plot ends. Hereby declared dead. RIP: Tattooed Durmstrang crime lord/gay savior Draco. *pours vodka on the curb... which looks a lot like a martini glass.* Sorry, @wheezykat

Comic Negan Fic Recs!

Alright, guys! It’s high time I start posting this again! As of last update (July ‘17 I believe?) there have been some fics that appear to have been deleted :(, so I removed those. But never fear, there are new additions.

At the beginning of every month, I’m going to repost this. New additions will be in italics (and most likely at the bottom).

Here’s a little list of Comic Negan (or at least comic-leaning) fanfiction! These are all great authors and entertaining fics. If you’re looking for that good ole original Negan fiction(with each author’s personal twist, of course)… check these out. And if you like them, give ‘em a warm fuzzy feeling with a like, favorite, kudos, reblog,shout-out or comment!  (List after the cut)

In no particular order:

Stigmatic by 217. Follow Negan’s POV as he leads the Saviors in what starts off as comic canon, before venturing into wonderfully AU territory. Also featuring 217’s most excellent OCs; she is truly a master at crafting real, well-rounded and interesting characters. She also has such a talent for writing Negan true to the comics and yet making her own unique version of his character as well. The plotline of this story is always moving forward as the Saviors travel through the highs and lows of life in the apocalypse. On ff.net On A03

217 has also done some AU series within the Stigmatic verse:

Phlegmatic: which is an AU take on Alice and Negan if they had met before the ZA. On ff.net On A03

Haematic which is another pre-ZA AU take where Negan struggles to raise his and the late Lucille’s daughter, Lulu (and her pet lobster, Crusty!), all by his lonesome. On ff.net On A03

Fics by Harleyquinzel. She has quite a few Negan fics, most of which are nice bite-sized reads and quite enjoyable. Here’s three of my favorites.

His Favorite Girl Smut involving Negan and his favorite girl… why, who else but Lucille the Vampire bat?

Making Like A funny and sexy Negan/Rick fic.

One Night Stand Negan and Olivia smut. Hell yeah.

And here is her complete TWD list

A Wolf at the Door by Misterkingdom: A very well-written fic where Negan makes sure Rick knows who the King Dick Motherfucker is around here.

Beautiful Tragedy by 217: Yet another gem by this master writer of ole Negan. However, RM (aka ‘Rude Motherfucker’) the OC of this story, doesn’t see Negan in the most flattering light. One of Negan’s (aka ‘Dumpy’s) wives, she uses his perks to support her ongoing drug addiction, that is, until Negan takes note…and he doesn’t approve. The dialogue in this story is absolutely a riot, as RM’s mouth and thoughts are every bit as vulgar and outrageous as Negan’s! On ff.net On A03

217 also has quite a few shorter fare for those that balk at lengthier stories (but trust me, they are worth every word!) My personal favorites are The Cleansing which is a pitch-back affair, Negan’s Number What? (a birthday present to me a few years ago, and the hottest Negan/Sherry smut EVER!), and Non-NEGotiable which is a Stigmatic smut where Negan loses a bet and his ass to Alice. On ff.net On A03

The Life of Negan & Lucille by TeamCarlisle: Based off the ‘Here’s Negan’ backstory, it’s Negan and Lucille’s pre-apocalypse days before it all fell apart. Sweet and yet heartbreaking, it’s a treat to see Negan in his pre-Savior days. But get your tissues out for this one!

Recollection by 217: Another goodie by 217, this is based off the ‘Here’s Negan’ backstory and contains part of his life with Lucille. On ff.net On A03

Embracing the Apocalypse by Embracetheapocalypsewithme (SomewhatSlightyDazed) Sanctuary and the Saviors has gained a new member, Rebecca, who struggles to find a foothold in this new society, but soon has captured the attention of Negan. He himself has been newly reinstated as the Savior’s leader and is also on unsure ground, unlike his previous bout of leadership. The two share a similar sense of humor and a need for a new start, but nothing is ever easy in the post-apocalyptic world.

This is yet another story that captures the charm, awkwardness and humor of Comic Negan, and features a very funny OC as well. Very much worth a read!

SomewhatSlightyDazed also has several shorts (mostly smutty, but a few aren’t.) They’re great for a quickie. A quick read, that is. ;) My personal favorites are: Post-Apocalyptic Driving School, Guys Like Him (Olivia and Negan, always a treat!), and Double-Dare (Smutty threesome with Negan and his wives. Yum!)

Through the Valley by Dusty Cookie Another merry jaunt into Sanctuary and the lives of the Saviors. Several Saviors, while out on a run, spot a female apparently living all on her lonesome and think she might be a good asset for Sanctuary. Now Negan just has to convince her she has a place there, and our story begins. :)

Dusty writes an absolutely fantastic Negan and her OCs are also well-written and interesting. Her dialogue and overall writing style is also so entertaining, witty, and just a pleasure to read. Try Chapter 1, and you’ll be hooked! On ff.net on A03

Dusty also has several short fics that are all equally great… but watch out for that catty Miss Fiona in The Hand that Feeds!

Tender Prey by bigcatsandkatanas I’m very bad and haven’t reviewed this one yet. I haven’t read a lot of them, so maybe it’s a bit pre-mature to say, but I think this is my favorite Regan fic. We have a bit more of a humble and lonely Negan due to his incarceration by good ole Prick Grimes, and it makes for one smutty tale I adore. Negan is written really great in this and despite being mostly smut, it’s also got some nice character moments for Negan. I really like it.

Gifts by redheadedwhat A nice little Negan/OC smut for your reading pleasure. Some humorous bits and of course, some very lovely smut.

Hurt by opheliadawnwalker3 Perhaps leaning more towards TV Negan, this is still a really good (and heart-wrenching) short about Negan and Lucille and her very bad news.

Satellite Days by Kinkozan After the Whisperer War, Negan has been living in an old outpost from the Savior days, and he finds himself in the company of Toni, another survivor who isn’t quite welcome around her old communities anymore either. They must try to survive in their new environment, as well as survive each other.

Backspin by Kinkozan Negan’s wife Charli’s plans of giving him a much-deserved spanking and trying to assert herself in the relationship might come back to bite her in the ass. Smut and angst.

Lupienne’s Negan fanfictions. Here’s my additions to the Comic Negan bookcase. I have a long WIP involving Negan and the boring domestic affairs of his wives, as well as a few shorter reads that are mostly of the smut variety. On A03 On ff.net (I don’t have them all on there, but if you prefer reading on this site…)

Enigmatic by 217: Based off Here’s Negan 15, where Negan receives a nasty wound from a fellow survivor. Upon going to clean out his wound, Negan meets an OC who is all too eager to give him some ‘healing.’ On ff.net On AO3

Love(d) by Dusty Cookie A pre-ZA short with Negan and Lucille. Dusty doesn’t just tug at your heartstrings, she rips them right out of your body.

WIP by Metal Butter Metal Butter mentioned a prisoner Negan fic they were writing, and upon my request, posted a snippet of it! It’s not complete, but it’s awesome just as it is. I love the way Negan is written as he narrates from his prison cell. Also contains shades of Regan. Yum!

In the Twilight Kingdom by Embracetheapocalypsewithme (SomewhatSlightlyDazed) Filled with grief over his recently deceased Lucille, Negan struggles to live and find a reason for doing so in the dangerous new world of the apocalypse.

Decomposition by 217: “Do you know what decomposition is? Answer the goddamn question.” A dark short of Negan’s thoughts as Lucille claims another life.

Bedtime Stories by Embracetheapocalypsewithme (SomewhatSlightyDazed): What happens when Negan finds out some of the Sanctuary women have been writing porn about him?

Wounds to Mend by Lupienne: A short based off events in Here’s Negan 14. Sherry tends to an injured Negan’s wound (with a little sexual healing involved.)

Last Chance Revival by 217. This fic follows an AU, non-ZA Negan as he tends bar in a rough part of town, where the highlight of his night is watching quirky OC’s Murphy’s ass leave the bar in her tight leopard print spandex. On ff.net On AO3

Heart in a Blender by Bigcatsandkatanas. A Negan/Rick fic set in a non-apocalyptic AU verse. Negan, lonely and despondent after his divorce with Lucille, decides to take a chance and use a dating app. When he accidentally matches with Rick Grimes, it’s the start of an awkward friendship (and maybe more?) Bigcatsandkatanas writes an excellent Negan, from his personality to his dialogue.

I Bless the Rains Down at Sanctuary by Redheadedwhat. Negan’s wife Tallulah discovers the hilarity of a drunken Negan. And an important question is pondered…just what did happen to the band members of Toto after the apocalypse?

Exhaust by Spliced-up Angel. An AU take on All out War. What if Negan hadn’t lost that last battle? Told from Carl’s POV, the young Grimes struggles to adapt to Negan’s rule over Alexandria. Since the story is all from Carl, Negan isn’t painted in the most flattering light. His dialogue is hilarious and poor Carl finds himself in a few embarrassing situations due to Negan’s lack of shame.

The tumblr Masterlist for Dusty-cookie. Suitable for liking, rec’ing and reblogging!

Dixon Dallas by 217. An AU smut involving Negan as a porn star :D

Sometimes You Just Need A… by Lupienne. My latest fic. It’s a fluffy short with platonic Negan/Rick.

Priorities by Dusty Cookie. A fluffy short, perfect for snuggling up with on a cold winter day!

Happy Fucking Birthday by Dusty Cookie. Negan gives the present of smut to his favorite birthday girl.

Careful What You Wish For by Dusty Cookie. More glorious smut! I only wish for more!

The tumblr Masterlist for Embracetheapocalypsewithme. Great for reblogging and giving this writer more exposure. Do it! 

An Enemy of the Crows by redheadedwhat. A chance encounter with a crow will change Negan’s life forever. :)

Don’t Look Back by Lupienne. Lucille’s last hours as she lays dying from her illness.

Cursed Land by Embracetheapocalypsewithme (SomewhatSlightlyDazed on AO3). This tale begins with a map with a blacked-out section Negan refuses to speak about… a fic to read with all the lights on!

The Love You Take by Embracetheapocalypsewithme (SomewhatSlightlyDazed on AO3). A lonely, exiled Negan investigates mysterious music he keeps hearing at night…

Yes, Mistress by Embracetheapocalypsewithme (SomewhatSlightlyDazed on AO3). Negan gets some new jewelry for Sherry to wear. She isn’t exactly enthused about it…but Negan can be pretty convincing ;) Glorious smut!

I’ll Always Be With You by Maggie Monster. Lucille has passed on, yet she has never left Negan’s side.

Alright! That’s it for this update! There’s some really good fics here, if I do say so myself. We need some more Comic Negan writers in the game though! Come on, people! ;) (And by all means, if you have a comic Negan fic, or know of one…be sure to let me know.)

For now, enjoy the fics and don’t be shy about commenting if you like any of them! Writers appreciate it so much.

And if you’d like, please reblog this post to give these authors some more exposure. :) See you in February!
