Ali!! I read your fic last night and I'm gonna leave a comment asap but I just wanted to let you know how much I absolutely loved it ♥️

It's so romantic my heart was bursting, with all the poetry Gale was waxing, and the lake scene felt so real, all the feelings and sensations, you wrote them splendidly. It was really like watching it play out, not just reading it!

I'm so happy our countless sprints turned into something so beautiful 🥰

Pls this is the nicest thing to wake up to, ever 😭🫶🏻

Gale was waxing so much poetry in it, he was totally out of my control but it was so much fun 🥰 Thank youuu 🥹 I'm super glad it came out this way because sometimes I have a very specific image in my mind for a scene and it's all about bringing it to life rather than describing it, so to know it worked for this fic is truly a boost of serotonin 🥹🥰

I'm actually quite proud of it, too, I've never written anything this long, let alone in such a short period of time, and I've never been so locked in on one fic I could write 3k without interruption 😂 And you're one of the reasons why I was able to do that so thank you for doing all these sprints with me even when it was late, and for staying with me even when you'd finished your own fic (I hope you found yourself in the endnotes ❤️) 🫶🏻 To know you liked and that you took the time to send an ask after reading it is making me love this fic even more 🥹

You're so sweet, thank you so so much for this kind message, you've no idea how much it means to me 🥹❤️ I usually have a bad case of writer's blues the day after posting a fic but your words mean the world and definitely fought them back 🫶🏻

I crashed yesterday so I didn't get to read all the wonderful fics that came out for the wota summer event but as soon as I can, I'm locking in on ao3 because I'm so so excited to read what everyone came up with 🥰❤️

I’m absolutely terrible at saving and cataloging fics I like, so I’ll name three that I remember by heart and a couple I managed to save across various sources.

Blue by Kalenderen (@urbanspires on Tumblr). This fic and everything around it stir up so many emotions in me, which is why it will always hold the number one spot. It’s a love-hate story between actors Callum and Austin, filled with jealousy, love, anger, pain, and the constant need to pretend to be something you’re not just to get somewhere in this cruel world. It feels like someone pulled this fic straight from my own mind—I feel it with my own nerves, my soul. I don’t even know how to describe it.

But the fic’s journey hasn’t been easy. The morality police went after the guy writing it with idiotic accusations that Callum and Austin are real people and that he shouldn’t be writing about them (as if John Egan and Gale Cleven are not real people, right?!). The author initially tried changing the names (which was completely ridiculous, because Callum and Austin were still painfully obvious), then went along with the other demands of this so-called morality police, whose appetite only seemed to grow. Eventually, he just abandoned the fic altogether. There was a brief moment when it seemed like his inspiration had returned, but these disgusting vultures managed to push him to delete the story completely from AO3 and Tumblr. I feel like crying that I didn’t save at least part of what he’d written.

God, this is one of those moments when I don’t want anything to do with this fandom.

2. bite tongue, deep breaths, by uzimaki, 14K words. https://archiveofourown.org/works/55328026?view_full_work=true Omegaverse Dune fic. The author has an absolutely incredible imagination and a talent for seeing things from a different perspective. Even the names are a treat—meet AUSTIN ATREIDES and CALLUM CORRINO! Callum is the prince of Corrino, and Austin is Bene Gesserit. You have to read it—it’s fantastic!

Oh, and Austin has a vagina in this fic (beware, vagina-haters!), which is pretty much my go-to for Omegaverse where omegas can give birth naturally.

3. Such stuff as dreams are made on, by WonderGinia (@amiserableseriesofevents on Tumblr), 103K words. https://archiveofourown.org/works/55636504/chapters/141217963 An intriguing theater universe, intense slow burn. Even though I’m not a theater fan, never have been, and probably never will be, Gale in this story is incredibly compelling with his combination of psychological trauma and insecurities—he’s sensitive, vulnerable, and desperately in need of love. He’s a character I genuinely enjoy.

Normally, I’m not a fan of long fics that update once a week, because with real life happening, I tend to forget what came before, and unfinished stories start blending into an indistinguishable mess. But somehow, the stars aligned back then—I wasn’t reading many other fics, and this universe was unique enough that I remembered it well. Plus, my long comments and many questions to the author stood out to me as memorable. I rarely do that since authors usually reply briefly, clearly not interested in much discussion. But WonderGinia answered eagerly, making it engaging. Part of the story was in the written text, and the other part was what came out in the comments.

Chapter 2 is up!

Gale's POV, a lot of restraint, love languages and some realizations :)

[middlingmay]

I have bookmarked so many, so I'm going to try and keep this to a top 5 of the ones I reread the most:

unicorns, and other extinct animals by mercess. Just so incredibly wonderful and made me very happy reading it even through the hard parts.

in our bedroom after the war by stereobone. I have read this three times already. I will read it a fourth.

The Boy Who Lived by JediRobertHogan. This is actually my favourite fic I've read in the fandom. I've re-read it more than any of the others. It's a one-shot but fully encapsulates Bucky's love for Buck and the desperation of the men. I love, love, love it.

The Sometimes words are not enough Series by WonderGinia. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh. This wouldn't br here if not for the fix-it fic in the series. Not because it's not good because it's wonderful, but because I just couldn't reread Buck losing John like that. It's wonderful, the life this author builds for them.

wild things by signifier. It would have been very easy to take the Wild West theme and ham it up. But this feels like it could have been real, like the Buckies in another life. It just feels so much like them and their dynamic.

You've probably read some/most of these, but thought I'd chime in anyway!

guys can i pls have clegan fic recs i’m pretty sure i’ve read like 0.5% of them

[amiserableseriesofevents]

Last chapter, Chapter 3 is out! A little make-believe goes a long way ;)

[amiserableseriesofevents]

It's the middle of the night where I live and I've just finished writing this. It's not chapter 8 of Such Stuff but it's something that was roaming around in my mind, begging to go out so there it is.

Enjoy <3

[amiserableseriesofevents]

In which Bucky and Buck meet at basic training and try (and fail) to ignore the invisible string pulling them closer.

[amiserableseriesofevents]

Another one, people! *banging pots* come here for the fix it fic you don't need, but the fix it fic you deserve!

[amiserableseriesofevents]

I wrote another one. I made myself cry with this one, so hey, I hope you'll like it!

[amiserableseriesofevents]

I posted a second part to my MOTA fanfiction.

Yes, it's a one shot. Yes, it's 20k words.

I had a lot to say, but I still have more! We'll see if I'll get to write a third and final part. For now, enjoy my labor of love

[amiserableseriesofevents]

I took the matter in my own hands.

Behold! My first fanfiction ever

Ok fanfiction writers, do your job: I want you to milk the shit out of those five minutes of angst at the beginning of episode 8. You have all the ingredients. The fight?? The frustration??

I want the making up after the fight fanfiction. I want the quiet apologies. I want the scream and fight some more and then make up fanfiction. I want the treating each other's wound while wondering, heartbroken, how much the war has changed them if they're able to hit each other. I want all of this and some more and you people, you lovely fanfiction writers, you're going to give it to me because I can't possibly wait idly for next week's final episode without some good fanfiction!!!
