It's taken me an age to get around to this, but here I am. This is gonna be long, so under the cut it goes:
The introduction to this had me gasping, you know I love my detailed descriptions! And the way you describe Paradis after the war and Levi's tea shop is just so inviting and peaceful. My favourite line in particular is:
The smell of freshly brewed tea leaves tickled the air, and dark chestnut walls framed the single room inviting a cozy atmosphere.Â
I want to be there so badly! It sounds like the perfect place to unwind.
Another favourite line of mine, because I just adore the way you describe Levi throughout this (again you know I love my heavily scarred men!), is this:
Two heavy lines of scars covered the right side of his face, like a perfectly placed imperfection. But something about those two scars only draws you to him more. A perfectly placed imperfection.
That line sticks with me always. I think we've spoken about it before but that is exactly how I see scars. They tell a story, they show the strength and stubborn will of the human mind and body. This will always be my favourite line <3
Also you just capture him and his essence so perfectly. Every time I read this I can see him and hear him. A perfect example:
He was leaning on one of the dark wooden counters, arms crossed over his chest as he surveyed you. "Tea, as suggested in the name," he replied blandly as he brought a slender hand to his left temple and massaged the area.
IT'S JUST SO LEVI.
The way you describe him, how his body has naturally filled out with age and a sedentary lifestyle. He has that dad bod and I am obsessed! And the little detail you throw in about his reflexes - left over from his time as a military man. It just HITS. Every tiny detail in this blows me away.
Levi clocked us as a simp so fast and it makes me smile every single time. Like DUH we were looking at you, you're fucking perfect. Please. AND THE, AND THE- gosh okay I need one minute. This part ALWAYS makes me cry. Always.
"People want to eat with their tea, Levi. It's boring to just sit there and sip tea," Gabi complained one day as Levi tried to tune out her words. He fought every moment after the war, learning to walk again and live in this new body. So listening to some snot-nosed teenager trying to have a say in his life is not how he wanted to spend his day.Â
I fucking adore you for including Gabi and Falco. OUR BABIES, OUR CHILDREN. Gabi is so sassy but also so correct đ€Ł and Levi complains but he loves them so damn much đ„ș the detail about him learning to walk again and see again and basically survive in his new body just makes me sob. Gosh, does he deserve love more than anyone I know.
THE MENTION OF ERWIN. Ahhh. It's those tiny details again, the little nuances that make this piece so incredibly bittersweet and painful. But that good kind of painful. I can feel Levi's emotions in this. And his insecurities that we are disappointed with the man he is now compared to what he was once makes me literally curl up on the floor clawing my eyes out. BABY YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND BETTER THAN MOST MEN COULD EVER BE.
You ended up being a comfort to Levi in a world where he never expected to have one.
Another favourite line of mine. It makes me ACHE in places I didn't know I have.
No wait because I'm hyperventilating and choking on snot. Fuck. I forgot how much this part always tears me apart. I left my Levi days behind me a long time ago but this fic always brings them rushing back. He used to be the only anime man I loved, my #1. And this part in particular just destroys me:
"I'm not him anymore, but I would like toâfuck. I know I'm broken now and that I don't look like I did in the past, but if you'll give me a chanceâ"
"And I love every part of you, especially now that I've gotten to truly know you." You moved to kiss his cheek, a bit rounder than it was from the days in Paradis but itâs still Levi. Levi who smells of black tea. Levi who didnât let the world in. Levi who could finally chase his dreams.
This is literally everything I dreamed of in a Levi fic. I pretty much exclusively don't read them because I'm very fussy when it comes to him, he's very special to me, even now. But I could read this over and over. It's my safe space.
This fic resonates with me in a way that very little do. It basically sums up my feelings and dedication to this series as a whole. And it's the perfect happy ending for our one-eyed prince đ
Could you write Chubby!Levi Ackerman x Fem!reader ? I mean imagine him with curves like his face is filled out , his cheeks are chubbier , his waist is getting plumped without forgetting his cute rounded tummy <3 ( fluff ) ?
Hello!!! So sorry this took forever and a day! Life has been crazy! So i've never written chubby! anything but I hope you like this! Thank you for sending in a request!
Thank you FOREVER AND ALWAYS to my wife @lady-lunaaa for brainstorming with me, helping me with ideas, telling me I could do this, supporting me and beta'ing this!
Paring: Chubby!Levi Ackerman x Fem!Reader
Rating: T (I am still an 18+ blog, MDNI)
WC: 1.8K
Warnings: AOT Manga spoilers, Chubby!Levi, first time writing chubby! Anything, pining, some thoughts/discussion of body issues, please let me know if I missed anything!
It's been years since the final war for Paradis. Life has become miraculously calmer since those last days. The towns have been rebuilt, and people have started to live an everyday life.Â
Little shops began appearing on the cobblestone streets of Marley, and one that caught your eye was a tea shop nestled right in the middle of a long row of shops. It was named simply Black Currant Tea. Even though it sold all types of tea imported from all over the world, the most famous brew was black tea. The favorite flavor of the once well-known "Humanity's Strongest."Â
At first, you were intimidated when you found out the man you had watched from the sidelines of the town was the owner of this humble tea shop. But the inside of it drew you in and held you. It was quaint inside. The smell of freshly brewed tea leaves tickled the air, and dark chestnut walls framed the single room inviting a cozy atmosphere.Â
No one else was there just yet, no one besides the owner. Two heavy lines of scars covered the right side of his face, like a perfectly placed imperfection. But something about those two scars only draws you to him more. Levi has always been beautiful to you. Memories of watching him ride through the town's streets before missions flew through your mind.    Â
You're so caught in your memories that you didnât realize you'd been staring at the man directly and the infamous Levi Ackerman until he cleared his throat.Â
"Ah! Sorry! I just wanted to see what you had here!" You stumbled over your words as you took him in. He was leaning on one of the dark wooden counters, arms crossed over his chest as he surveyed you.Â
"Tea, as suggested in the name," he replied blandly as he brought a slender hand to his left temple and massaged the area. Â
You felt embarrassed, unsure what to say next, and decided instead to look over the little boxes set neatly on the counter filled with all different types of tea. Levi ignored you as you pondered, instead he focused his attention on the cash register, flipping idly through the bills.Â
You let your eyes move back to him; he's filled out since the war ended. His face is a bit rounder with age and the lack of extensive training. He was still incredibly handsome, though, so much that it's hard not to stare at him. Like a stoic deity that has come to Earth, he was beautiful with all his imperfections.
His eye snapped up to meet yours, those reflexes from years on the battlefield still wired deep within him. "Did you need help picking something?" His tone was a little softer than before, not nearly as harsh. But before you could answer, he cocked his head to the side, taking you in more deeply than before. "Do I know you?"Â
Shock and panic ran through you. You hoped with your entire being he didnât remember you being at almost every going away crowd for the Survey Corps. That would be embarrassing. Thoughts scrambled in your head as you tried to come up with some reason other than being a complete stalker for why he would know you.
"Well, I-"
"You used to sell pastries, right? That little cobblestone shop in Trost?" His words were pointed, and you're not sure how he knew that you did sell pastries before your shop was destroyed by the Colossal.Â
But you do know that he never visited your shop, you were sure you would've remembered him coming. You were the only one who ran it, so there's no way you would've missed him.Â
"Um, yes?" you responded hesitantly. This is not where you thought this visit would go. Levi's gray eye scanned your face, irritated that you responded to him with a question.
He'd recognize you anywhere. He saw you every time they would leave on a mission, standing in the crowd staring at him like an excited child. At that time, he chalked it up to lost dreams of being an adventurer but now, as he watched you fumble over yourself, it clicked together. You truly had been looking directly at him, and it wasn't a dream of being with them that made your eyes shine; it was him.Â
He was unsure what to do with this information, especially now that life has changed. Before the walls fell, you wouldn't have even been an option, but now he could create a life. This is what he's been trying to do with this tea shop, explore love and pass time that he couldn't in a world filled with terror. And although he recognized you and remembered your beauty from long ago, he was asking about your past profession for a good reason. Gabi and Falco, older and wiser than before, were still annoying and persistent that he should add some sort of food item to his shop.
"People want to eat with their tea, Levi. It's boring to just sit there and sip tea," Gabi complained one day as Levi tried to tune out her words. He fought every moment after the war, learning to walk again and live in this new body. So listening to some snot-nosed teenager trying to have a say in his life is not how he wanted to spend his day.Â
But after multiple customers asked about scones or pastries, he decided to take this chance even though his well-laid-out menu was within plain sight.Â
The two of you chatted a bit longer, Levi conveniently forgot to bring up how he truly knew you and instead discussed how Erwin had brought him food from your shop before. Omitting the fact that it's one of the best things he ever tasted. Years of starvation changed his eating habits for life, but he could still remember the first time he tasted one of your freshly made croissants. It had melted in his mouth, and Erwin had made ridiculous comments about the bliss that flashed across Levi's face.Â
Levi needed money to go to your shop, though. Money he didnât have, so he could only partake in your pastries when Erwin would stop by. But he did pass by your shop every now and then. He would catch small glimpses of you behind the counter with a dazzling smile as you talked to customers. But Levi left that out, too, as he asked if you would make some pastries for his shop.Â
He let you know he'd install anything you needed and pay you well. And how could you resist that?
That's how you spent six days out of the week with the man you've watched for years on the sideline. A small oven and counter space area were dedicated just for you, and you spent time researching the best things that would match Levi's vast collection of teas. At first, everything was awkward. You fumbled over your words anytime Levi talked to you and could feel heat rush to your face. But the worst was when Levi caught you staring at him.
You marveled at his beauty, even now. Somehow he seemed even more handsome after the war. His body was more filled out, his waist a bit more pronounced, but still stunning. And it was hard to tear your eyes away from him.
But Levi was sure you were comparing him to his past self. Lithe, fast, and strong. Everything he wasn't now. Who was he kidding? He's not the man he used to be. In his mind, you were only idolizing a past Levi.Â
But those thoughts didnât stop your growing relationship with him. The two of you clicked, sharing an identical sense of dry humor. As well as being able to remember home and the good times before the world went to shit. You ended up being a comfort to Levi in a world where he never expected to have one.
And after six months of working side by side, he can't hold himself back any longer. The two of you sat at one of the little tables at the end of a busy day. The sun was setting through the glass window at the front of the shop.Â
"You used to come every time we would leave." He said calmly, evenly, to not scare you away. Would you hate him because he knew all along?
You slide your gaze over to him, anxious now. Even though the two of you had built a good working relationship and your schoolgirl crush had cooled a bit, you thought you had gotten away with watching him every trip out of the walls. But you should've known that he saw you. You were there every single time. Of course, he wouldn't have missed you. He's Levi fucking Ackerman, for god's sake. Â
"Um? Yes?" Again you answered him with a question like you did when he first spoke to you. A statement that had irritated him back then he finds endearing now, cute even.
"Why?" His question was soft as he took his left hand and placed it on top of yours. You're warm. It felt nice with the cooler weather setting in.                                      Â
You let out a rush of air from your lungs, not sure how to reply to him. His hand weighed heavy on yours but was still comforting like he's known your secret all along. You didnât want to sound crazy, but you knew very well you were there for him, and you knew Levi well enough now that he can see through any lie you tried to spin to save your dignity.Â
"It was for you, Levi. I wanted to see you. Just in case it was the last time," your voice was quiet as you looked towards the chestnut table, tracing the patterns with your eyes. Looking anywhere but at Levi. What if he laughs at me? What if he thinks I'm pathetic for pining after him? The questions flowed through you like a waterfall as you waited for the rejection.
"I'm not him anymore, but I would like toâfuck. I know I'm broken now and that I don't look like I did in the past, but if you'll give me a chanceâ"
You cut him off, thrown by his pain of losing his past self in the war, "Levi, I don't care how you've changed. You're just as handsome as you were with each mission. I've liked you for a long time andâ" You moved around the table to sit in the chair closest to him.Â
"And I love every part of you, especially now that I've gotten to truly know you." You moved to kiss his cheek, a bit rounder than it was from the days in Paradis but itâs still Levi. Levi who smells of black tea. Levi who didnât let the world in. Levi who could finally chase his dreams.
"I'm not the same anymore," Levi said solemnly as he gestures towards his waist and stomach, no longer toned after years of rigorous training.Â
"Levi, I love you, just as you are," You placed a peck on his lips and helped him stand while leading him to the hall back to his room. "Let me show you."

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love â€ïž
ahhh hi thank you! (finally answering this!) đ€
It Took the Night to Believe: chapterfic, complete, 100k. dragon age ii, anders/male hawke. pacific rim au. i am honestly really fucking proud of this fic, like i thought it was great even though it didn't do super well kudos-wise and i did notice that i definitely did lose readers as it went on. i truly have no idea why, this fic is fucking great. it's got angst, it's got comfort, it's got near death experiences, it's got fluff, it's got kaijuâwhat's not to love??
No Wound as Sharp as the Will of God: chapterfic, complete, 99k. dragon age ii, anders/female hawke. canonverse, post-da2. it took me seven years to post a second chapter of this and a total of eight years to finish it, and the whole time i was writing it after i picked it up again i was so unsure of it, but turns out i really like it. very heavy content, please do mind the tags. takes place while hawke is with the inquisition. anders positive, justice positive. a very intense, very deep, very affectionate friendship between anders and fenris is an extremely important part of the story. like, seriously, the platonic fenders is just as important as the romantic handers. a lot of angst, like so much angst, but the hurt/comfort is real. the b-plot pertains to my theory that justice cures anders of the taint. cole is there. the emotions are high and you can feel them strongly in the writing. again, be careful, but this is a good fic.
A Thing With Feathers Now, Elevate: one shot, 11k. dragon age: origins, alistair/female amell. canonverse, takes place over the course of da:o. this fic is a fucking masterpiece. another that didn't do well numbers-wise but this is easily one of the absolute best things i've ever written and is quite possibly one of the best fics on ao3. i am so fucking proud of this one. the prose, the metaphors, the handling of trauma, the found familyâthis one deserved way more love than it got. like, i'm serious, this fic is amazing.
It Means Tumult: chapterfic, wip, 349k (yes, you read that right). dragon age ii, anders/female hawke. modern au. okay, obviously i've got to mention this one. i have been working on this fic for eight years and i am very sorry to everyone who saw this go from updating multiple times a week and asking me how the fuck i write so fast to three years without a single update and then i think only one more in the past two years. i'm working on the penultimate chapter, i swear i am, i'm just super stuck right now. this fic isâŠthis fic. i'm not going to lie, i don't really know if this is any longer some of my better writing, but the premise is fucking solid and i have been told more than once that it's clear this is a labor of love and that this is endearing. au where the obvious metaphors are made reality: the circles are psychiatric institutions and being mentally ill is a crime. a lot of angst, but a lot of love. pay no mind to how much better of a character and person aveline is when i write her. i also do admittedly use this fic to deal with my own demons frequently. an andrea gibson poem helped me write one chapter and i later got to tell them about it and they hugged me. this is also very heavily centered on music and has a lengthy soundtrack. please ignore the fact that when i first started writing this i used british english when i typed because i thought it looked better, as i had started doing as a teenager, which tbh i still kind of do but i also realized that's just fucking pretentious to do when you're american, and it was already so long by the time i stopped doing it that there was no way in hell i was going back to editing all of that (as i actually did do with nwasatwog). so that's just the way it is. but yeah, there's a lot of feelings happening here. also the only fic on this list that has an original title instead of song lyrics despite being the one with the most music involved, lol.
Through the Fall and the Feel: chapterfic, wip, 52k. dragon age ii, anders/male hawke. modern au. this is the one i'm working on most right because that's just where the brainworms are. hawke is a teddy bear doctor and anders goes to see him because instead of a pillow from his mother he has a stuffed cat, and she has seen much better days. this fic has a very wholesome premise but has gone into some pretty heavy angst already and i did not mean for eating disorders to be as important to the story as they have become, so be mindful of that. but this fic has a lot of heart and it's absolutely tanking, so if this piques your interest maybe go give it a look? this is also my second foray into m!handers and i am again having fun writing them. but yeah, i actually like this fic a lot and i do recommend it.

Love that there's a bullet point list for Xiaobaoâs not so secret kinks now. I kind of think exhibitionism should be added to it, but I donât know how to make it work in canon without Huaien having to kill or dismember people (see: brothel.) In a modern AU, Xiaobao would probably get off on wearing Huaien's collar in public and like to go to those kink parties where he could sit at his wife's feet and look pretty, but that idk if can be incorporated here. At least he can always wear a jade plug in public to be a menace. In my mind, it has almost a corruption kink-y element to it because Xiaobao knows Huaien does not necessarily want to fuck him in public because he's possessive, but if Xiaobao gets needy/shameless enough, he's going to have to, right? Xiaobao hopes he will not be able to help himself. In the end, it's probably still Xiaobao who loses his composure first and maybe he feels a little disheartened by how stoic Huaien is being, efficiently escorting him somewhere he will not embarrass himself (maybe while murmuring this to Xiaobao, who is both embarrassed and aroused, and the two are absolutely not separate). Then, consider: the second they get any resemblance of privacy (convenient alcove, narrow corridor etc.) Huaien pounces on Xiaobao and Xiaobao almost comes in his pants.
This got out of hand and offtopic, but maybe Xiaobao narrates this little fantasy to Huaien's ear and Huaien is having an epiphany about wanting to force Xiaobao, actually. It pains me not to know how Xiaobao reacted to that!!!!!!
I can 100% see modern au Huaien and Xiaobao having a nice well adjusted kink party routine, but in canonverse, itâs gonna be way way weirder. The idea of an elaborate-for-Xiaobao plan to seduce Huaien into fucking Xiaobao in public places is hilarious, in character, and hot. Because yes Huaienâs natural inclination is to simply refuse. (No one else gets to see Xiaobao getting fucked. Sorry!! Sorry, thatâs only for Huaien! Nope! Honestly best not to even overhear it by accident.) BUT I do fully believe in Xiaobaoâs horny determination. He can absolutely bait Huaien into wanting to fuck him in public, given sufficient shamelessness. The jade plug is an amazing plan. Thatâs at least two brain cells there. All he has to do is tell Huaien while theyâre out and squirm a little and Huaien is on edge. He has excellent self control when he wants to but also itâs hard when his husband is very obviously grinding down on a jade plug and fucking himself on it over lunch. Thatâs a challenge for anyone.
Aw,f Xiaobao getting too flustered to carry on and Huaien effectively having to take care of him! Xiaobaoâs plan works but only bc it backfired on him. A classic Xiaobao caper. Huaien would very gallantly escort him to the nearest convenient alcove/alleyway/empty corridor and touch Xiaobao a truly embarrassingly minimal amount through his robes before Xiaobao comes.
And, look, because I have the wheel right now, I do think Huaien should then very gently press a sated, pleased, overstimulated Xiaobao against the wall, pull the plug out, and fuck him. Xiaobaoâs easy and open from it, too blissed out to react at first, but you just know he gets overwhelmed and whiny so quickly, complaining that itâs too much and what if someone sees? while pushing back into each thrust to take him deeper. Heâs having the time of his life. When Huaien gets close, Xiaobao tells him not to come inside bc then itâll be dripping down Xiaobaoâs thighs all day, so obviously Huaien does, which is fine bc thatâs what Xiaobao wanted anyway. And maybe Huaien puts the plug back in again after?
In the CNC wip, I hadnât written a ton past what I posted bc I realized I didnât know where I was gonna put it, but Xiaobao begs for it and then rolls them into another round of sex.
Xiaobao blinked at him. Whimpered. Shoved their mouths together. âHuaien, please.â
Laughing, Huaien said, âDoes it count if you want it?â It did, though. It did it did.
âPlease, please, please,â Xiaobao whispered, climbing on top of him. âFuren, please.â

Hello there! What would be some of the AOT boys' reactions to stumbling upon their crush (reader) playing the piano? Maybe something like Claire De Lune? It can be in the canonverse đ€ thank you so much!
Also I just want to say that your writing is incredible, and you write all the characters SO spot on! Keep up the great work! đ
Thank you so much for your kind words, Iâm really glad I can do the characters justice!
Iâm an absolute uncultured swine when it comes to music but I did some research so I hope this is what you wanted đ„°đ„°
AOT men walking in on their crush playing the piano (includes; Eren, Armin, Jean, Connie, Levi, Erwin, Zeke, Reiner, Porco, Colt)
cw: none
a/n: This got kinda long so I put it under a cut!
Armin Arlert
Arabesque, No. 1 in E major by Claude Debussy
The soft notes of the piano fit well with the polished corridors of Mitras palace, and Armin couldnât help but be drawn in by the sound. The music was gentle yet upbeat, a stark contrast with what had just been discussed in the dreadful meetings he had to attend.
A smile graces his face when he cracks the door of the music room further open, finding you at the seat of the piano. You look beautiful, your lips curved up slightly as your fingers dance over the keys. You look content, lost in your own happy tune, and Armin canât help but be relieved that you have found a moment for yourself. He doesnât want to interrupt, he just wants to stand and listen to you play, leaning against the doorway. He lets his head fall back against the frame and closes his eyes, letting you carry him away to a world of wonder through the music.
Eren Yeager
Metamorphosis: Three by Philip Glass
Eren had been surprised to be woken up by music. He shuffled over to the room where the sound seemed to originate from, only to find you. It almost seemed like you expected him, your gaze pointedly meeting his before you returned your attention to the piano. Eren did not have a lot of sense for music, but he could tell that your talent deserved much more than that run down thing.
âBit somber, isnât it?â He comments but you shake your head.
âNot necessarily, listen.â
He moves closer as you continue playing the song, and soon he finds out why you wanted him to listen. The somber tones get shifted to louder, more excited ones, giving the tune a more hopeful feel to it. He looks at you as you guide the music through its ups and lows, and a shiver runs over his spine every time he catches your eye. Itâs like you see through him, heâs always felt that way, thatâs why he took a liking to you to begin with. Though you arenât telling him it explicitly, he understands what the song means for both of you.
Jean Kirstein
Liebestraume S541/R211: No. 3 Nocturne in E flat major by Franz Liszt & Jenö Jandó
Jean had just been wandering around, lost in thought, when he heard someone playing the piano. None of the scouts played piano as far as he knew, making him wonder if it was perhaps a Marleyan making use of the music room. He was pleasantly surprised to find out that you were the one playing. Your eyes closed, focusing intently on the tune of every key your fingers hit. Though he could watch you like this forever, he needs to come closer. âWow.â
âHow come you never told me you play piano?â
He smiles when you look up at him bashfully. âIt had been so long, I wasnât sure if I could anymore...â
âIt sounds amazing, you have talent.â Jean tells you and comes to stand next to the piano.
You continue playing under his watchful eye, a smile playing at your lips. He enjoys the song, and jokingly starts ball dancing by himself, commenting that beautiful music should be danced to. You chuckle at him clumsily dancing with the air, your chest warming at the sight.
Connie Springer
Forever, forever by Keiko Matsui
Connie canât help but feel slightly offended that you never told him, but as he watches you play from the open window, he canât stay mad. He pulls himself up on the frame, startling you when he drops into the room. Throwing his hands up, he grins. âSorry.â
You shake your head but smile, returning your attention to the piano. Slowly, you pick up the song again, and Connie makes sure to listen closely. The tune feels loving, and a blush graces his cheeks as he hopes that perhaps itâs him you are thinking of while playing.
âCan I sit with you?â He questions softly and you nod your head.
Seeing your face from so close as he sits on the bench with you makes his heart skip beats. Itâs nice to see you so content, itâs the only way he wants you to be.
Levi Ackerman
Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy
Levi was determined to find out where you sneaked off to while you should be cleaning with them, glaring at the thought of how he should scold you for it. When he found you, the infall of sunlight playing so beautifully across your skin, sweet notes resonating throughout the room, he stopped in his tracks. Levi has a great appreciation for fine, sophisticated things, and you playing the piano with the sun setting behind you must be the epitome of it.
Your eyes widen when you realize heâs there, your hands stopping their movements. Levi scowls at you. âKeep playing.â He tells you commandingly.
Worried that youâll be punished more severely if you donât, you start again. You had thought he would be furious to find you slacking during cleaning duties, but as soon as you continued playing his face turned soft. He enjoyed it, taking a seat in a vacant chair and even leaning back slightly. As he listened to your song, he could imagine himself doing this more often, hearing you play and seeing you so delicately working the instrument, perhaps with some tea next time. It was alright that you snuck off this time, he supposed, hiding his smile behind his hand as he was glad he didnât have to scold you.
Erwin Smith
Nocturnes: No. 1, Molto Moderato, in E flat major by Frédéric Chopin & John Field
It was rare to find a house with luxuries at this area, never mind one that has been abandoned and probably raided countless times. As you run your hand over the dusty piano lid, you wonder if it could possibly still work.
Erwin had just entered the room when you have propped the lid up and sit down on the piano bench. His eyes widen when you start playing a tune, one that for some reason sound familiar. You smile, playing more excitedly. âSeems like it has survived fairly well.â Some of the notes arenât what they used to be, but itâs a miracle nonetheless.
The more the song carries on, he realizes where heâs heard it before. A friend of his father played the piano and he had played this song before. His admiration for you had already been great for the longest time, but this just increased it even more. Erwin had been no good at instruments himself, yet you played like it was your second nature. He makes a plan for himself to find a piano when the two of you return, wanting to hear more of your hidden talent.
Zeke Yeager
Gnossiennes |-||-||| (1890) by Erik Satie
People rarely came to this part of the wing, and since Zekeâs usual spot was closed off, he decided to go have a smoke on the balcony of the old music room. When he heard someone entering, he observed curiously, watching you sneak in. You pulled off the cover of off the grand piano, letting the sheet fall to the floor. He took drags from his cigarette, narrowed eyes watching your every move from a distance. It was always nice to see you, but what were you doing here?
You play some notes, testing yourself before you take a deep breath. Zekeâs cigarette drops from his lips as soon as you start playing. You carry the tune flawlessly and even he can tell its brimming with emotion. Where the hell had you been hiding this talent?
He listens patiently till you finish your song. He isnât the best at judging emotions, but from the glances he catches of the side of your face, it seems that you are pouring your frustrations into it.
When you finish, he walks in, closing in on you from behind and putting his hands on your shoulders. You recognize who it is instantly as he leans forward, the scent of smoke carrying from his lips.
âItâs not fair to keep a talent like this hidden.â His hands rub at your shoulders and you feel pride swell in your chest. âDedicate a song to me?â He asks playfully.
Reiner Braun
Nuvole Bianche by Ludovico Einaudi
Reiner feels ashamed that he didnât know when he walks in on you playing the piano. He looks away in embarrassment when your eyes catch his. âExcuse me.â He says, already turning back to the door.
âReiner!â
You stop playing. âThis... itâs a new song Iâve learned. Can you stay and tell me if it sounds right?â
He turns back to you, your face showing that you are being earnest. Nodding his head, he strides over to you.
You tap the spot on the bench next to you with your hand and he sits down with a tiny smile.
You go back to the beginning, turning your sheet music accordingly. His gaze goes from your face to your hands as you play. Your fingers move over the keys so lightly, and something about it just makes him want to hold your hand. He holds himself back, not wanting to mess up the beautiful song you are creating.
When you are done, you ask him what he thought. âIt was beautiful.â He tells you, beautiful like everything else you do.
Porco Galliard
Prelude in G minor Op. 23/5 by Sergei Rachmaninoff
Porco expected to find some stuffy man playing the piano, which is the case at most of these âprestigeâ events, but instead he found you. âWhat the fuck?â
You shoot him a glare, trying your hardest to stay focused on your play. âDonât throw me off, asshole.â
He doesnât want to throw you off, heâs just baffled. Itâs astounding that the same person who throws him in the dirt during every training is the same as the polished one he sees in front of him right now. From the way you play, thereâs no doubt that you must have been doing this for a long time. He vaguely remembers you telling him that you used to take piano lessons, but he had no idea that you now did it professionally. As he watches you play, your eyes cast down to the keys and fingers moving across the length of the board at a rapid pace, he has to admit thereâs something charming about it. He grins to himself, the night will be far more entertaining and pleasant on the eye than he had expected.
Colt Grice
RĂȘverie by Claude Debussy
Colt at first thinks he must be dreaming. The music, your radiant face, it fits right in. Heâs not though, instead he has just stumbled onto yet another trait that makes him love you more. You take tiny glances at him as you play and he can tell you are happy heâs here. His palms feel sweaty and his cheeks heat up as he realizes how perfect of a moment it would be if he confessed his feelings now. If he could, he would blurt it out, but he canât. Instead he continues watching you, building the courage inside him bit by bit.
Noticing that you are cracking your neck quite often, Colt comes over to stand behind you. Heâs gentle as he touches your shoulders, seeing if you donât move away from him before he massages your sore muscles. Little sighs pass by your lips as you continue playing your song, letting your head fall back when itâs finished.
âThank you, Iâm not used to playing for longer times anymore.â You sigh, putting one hand over his.
He flushes at your touch. âYou play beautifully, so thank you for letting me hear it..â

an absolutely massive Haikyuu!! fic rec pt. 1
I went through my entire ao3 history because Iâm insane, AND hereâs my favorites. (Thereâs not a lot of aus because Iâm not a huge fan of them, and thereâs no sad endings. Iâm a hopeless romantic leave me alone. There is angst though! Lots)Â
Beginning with SakuAtsu (Iâm a hoe for Atsumu):Â
Hide and seek, by badreputation (10k. E. canonverse)Â
It sure is a good thing Atsumu doesn't have a latex allergyÂ
Itâs just a fleeting infatuation. As long as he pushes through it heâll manage. So what if nowadays there isnât a night where he doesnât dream of Sakusa pinning him down on his own bed, in the shower or make Atsumu go down on his knees in the hallway? Those are just pesky details.
Some Memories, We May Keep, by mika60 (31k. T. canonverse)Â
This is canon, fight me on it.Â
The missing panels, the missing games, the missing moments.
The them we never saw.
*Now complete! :)*
 every action has an equal and opposite reaction, by akanemnida (10k. T. canonverse)Â
Miya Atsumu gets a modeling contract with Calvin Klein, which sets Kiyoomi's heart in motion.
(Or: Sakusa Kiyoomi realizes that the rules governing the universe are absolute rubbish at explaining matters of the heart.)
 Ass-fingering as a prelude to relations of the emotional kind: a case study, by neverwere (2k. E. canonverse)Â
Fucking hilarious, the imagery is absolutely hilarious.Â
"Marry me, he thinks, as he comes around Sakusa's fingers and all over himself.
This. This is exactly why you don't let strangers or very attractive teammates finger you out of the blue.
Everyone knows that the ass is the shortest way to the heart."
Or
When it comes to sex, Atsumu has rules. Guidelines! SOPs! He swears they work, they've always worked.
Until they don't.
 parallax error: angle of inclination, by min_mintobe (10k. T. canonverse)
But now there's the one person Atsumu'd promised himself never to touch. His eyes leave Atsumu breathless with guilt at seventeen, and he spends the next six years safe in the satisfaction of making things right.
Feelings, of the physical kind, and one kiss.
ft. competitive spirit, childishness, and late night conversations.
Atsumu POV.
 autumn ends, but we remain, by wolfsbvne (5k. T. canonverse)
Author says in their ending notes that they're not an âauthorâ, but methinks they should write more and pursue that career path because this was wonderful. Â
atsumu stares at his ceiling at 2am. he stares until he can make out designs in his popcorn ceiling. a cat there, an onigiri here, and then something that suspiciously looks like a mop of hair, triangle eyebrows, and oh those two bumps are moles right above what atsumu just mapped out as an eye.
(or, atsumu is in kind of in love. sakusa is maybe in like.)
I left a taste in your mouth, by emso (26k. E. bodyguard au)
Because obviouslyÂ
Sakusa fixes him with a vague expression of something like distaste. There's a scathing edge to his tone when he speaks. "Contrary to what you seem to believe, not everyone who meets you is instantly dying to get into your pants, Miya."
"Lucky I don't really care right now what 'everyone' wants to do, then." Atsumu swivels his mug around on the tabletop a few times, and then brings it to his mouth to drain the last few dregs of his latte. Over the rim of his mug, he adds casually, "Just you."
Whoa hey Bodyguard Omi, I think Spoiled Rich Kid Tsumu might possibly have a teensy crush on you.Â
 How do you know you're in love?, by spiritscript (12k. T. canonverse)
Pure art
âSo, how did you know you were in love? How did it feel?â Atsumu felt nervous asking this, a slight wiggling in the pit of his stomach, unable to look at the man beside him who rolled his shoulders in an attempt to reset his posture. âI mean, you didnât resonate with what I said, so, what is love to you Omi-kun?â
Atsumu thinks he must be in love with Hinata Shouyou and so asks the best person he knows to help him understand his feelings
 san'yo expressway, 6:17 pm, by yamabota (13k. T. canonverse)
Of violent forethoughts, and handheld car vacuums.Â
Atsumu tilts his head to watch a slice of orange light bend over the impassive planes of Sakusaâs face. He is absolutely, ruthlessly beautiful. It makes Atsumu want to punch somethingâput his foot through the windshieldâscream, maybe.
Kiss him again, maybe.
They have 344 kilometers to figure this one out.Â
Different Kinds of Dysfunctional, by DeathBelle (Series, 5 works. T-E. Canonverse)
Honestly, I think this one is kind of famous amongst Sakuatsu readers but I canât not include it. If I recall correctly, this is the fic that got me into Sakuastu, so thanks, DeathBelle. The characters are portrayed really well (i.e. Sakusa is disgusted and confused, and Atsumu is a little shit). Youâve got a good balance between conversations and descriptive thoughts and all-in-all itâs just a really good read.Â
 Atsumu said into the heavy silence, âYou canât say youâve never thought about it.â
"Thought about what?" said Sakusa.
Atsumu smiled to himself, smug. "You know."
"No, I don't."
"You know. Of course youâve thought about it. Thereâs no reason to be ashamed, Omi-kun. Iâm a real catch.â
Sakusa was appalled. "You're disgusting."
"You flatter me. I'm not judging you. I can't lie and say I haven't thought about it, too."
Sakusa shifted, slowly, to peer over his shoulder. He wasnât scowling, but his expression was unreadable. âPlease tell me youâre joking.â
Atsumu wasn't joking, and he was about to get more than he bargained for.
i'll do anything you say (if you say it with your hands), by liliapocalypse (7k words. T. canonverse):
Oh, god. This one was so cute. Super fluffy. Loved the metaphors and symbolism. Sometimes you just canât say things out loud.Â
When a bad injury shocks the whole V. League, Sakusa finds himself paired with Atsumu for more rigorous assisted stretches before every training. Atsumu then finds himself writing random letters on Sakusaâs skin to soothe the spiker, forcing Sakusa to reevaluate how his touch aversion became an irresistible yearning for more, and how the boy with the annoying hair somehow brought that hunger to life.
Or, the fic where Atsumu mindlessly writes a confession on Sakusaâs back when he thought Sakusa wasn't paying attention. Sakusa always did.
 mortality is found is the flesh of your sins, by novrik (10k. M. canonverse)
This is literally my favorite fic of all time. Not just of Sakuatsu, not even of the Haikyuu fandom. Ever. Favorite fic ever. Listen, Iâm an atheist, but this fic took me on a religious experience that I haven't come down from yet. The symbolism had me actually shivering, and I had to put my phone down quite a few times. Just, oh wow, just read it. Iâd like to share my favorite line; âAnd if Sakusa is Eve, if he takes a bite, what then? Perhaps, he is a little afraid of the knowledge he will gainâ. My god, author, if you ever see this, this is not only a plea for you to continue writing, but also an offer of marriage. Your hand, author?
 dickhead one, sakusa kiyoomi. dickhead two, miya atsumu. neither understand how to communicate.
Pray tell, why are you drawn to him?
Are you drawn to him in the way he looks beautiful even when crying?
When his eyes are red, shiny tears streaking down, lips quivering, is he beautiful?
 sakuatsu domesticity simulator, by pseudoanalytics (75 words. T. canonverse)
75 words because it's actually a digital art simulator. An interactive fic! How frickinâ cool is that? The art is so beautiful and I love the plotline and ugh, just everything. Please read, or watch, or click around, yes. Good.Â
Update: artist created another interactive fic and of course it is wonderful. SunaOsa this time! https://newttxt.itch.io/cheesecake honestly just check out @newttxt their work is amazing and I love everything they do.Â
a vaguely interactive mixture of fic, art, and html, where you too can experience the inherent romance of a big fat jerk and a too-blunt jerk attempting intimacy
***
(this is the result of letting the sakuatsu brainworms really get to you...)
 Pas De Deux, by hatsuna (19k words. T. Ballet/college au)
There's just something about prim, proper ballet Sakusa and human-benign-tumor Atsumu that makes my heart burst. Seriously gorgeous writing style, loved every second. By the same author who wrote âliminal spacesâ (which is also just perfect) so that should give you a good idea of the style.Â
The mystery athlete gives Kiyoomi a once over in the mirror. âYer pretty tall,â he observes. The twang of an accent rasps low in his throat. His brazen eyes drift to Kiyoomiâs legs, and something like exhilaration glints gold in his gaze. âGood quads, too. Ya ever played volleyball?â
 Ah. So itâs volleyball.
âIâm a dancer. Ballet and contemporary, mostly.â
 the affective presence of our black and white reruns, by kozumess (19k. E. canonverse)
Beautiful, classic misunderstandings, my heart actually physically ached at that one scene (youâll know the scene when you come to it). Kiyoomi is so refreshingly relaxed(? Is that the right word to use? We all know Omi never truly relaxes).Â
but the want, it's always there, constant like the static playing on every television channel, present even when the station disconnects.
 cut the conversation, just open your mouth, by meeksoo (E. 16k. canonverse)
Absolutely filthy...BUT WITH FEELINGS! Completely nails the Sakuatsu dynamic, and protective âTsumu? Love it.Â
Sakusa opens the door. He always does.
 Theyâre teammates first, barely even friends. But they hook up on the regular and it works. Itâs simple, easy. But then a fan gets too close, Sakusa reacts, and Atsumu is swept up in how quickly things can get complicated.
__
As Atsumu palms himself over his briefs, still feeling off, he realizes itâs because he still wants it. Him. Sakusa. Even after already having him earlier.
He should probably feel self-conscious, mildly ashamed even, that heâs panting âOmi Omiâ into the dark beneath the steady thrum of the AC unit when Sakusaâs right down the hall, probably good for it if Atsumu ended up back at his door. Instead, he lays there, writhing and sweaty, alone in his hotel room bed thinking about Sakusa and touching himself.
Afterward, as cum begins to cool on his chest, Atsumu really canât help but face the fact that things may be getting complicated.
 the hands that beckon me to come, by Ellieb3an (4k. E. canonverse)
So hot, what the fuck!Â
The toss, the run, the spike-serve at the end of it allâSakusa sees it happen in perfect clarity as if time has slowed and his vision narrows to the center where just Miya exists, all powerful muscle and extraordinary skill and that air of confidence.
Sakusa isnât one of the best receivers in the league for no reason, so his body moves on muscle memory, forearms absorbing the sting of the hit. Itâs not enough. But his eyes are still on Miyaâon the way his shorts ride up his muscular thighs as he lands, on the bead of sweat dripping down his forehead, on the clench of his fist thrust into the airâwhen the ball ricochets out of bounds.
***
Atsumu stays late at practices to work on his new third serve, even when his frustration with it starts throwing off the rest of his game. Sakusa notices and starts hanging back to secretly watch him from the gym doors. Heâs fascinated with Atsumu's determination... and more than a little turned on by it, too.
 you're the flame i use (when it gets dark), by starkartifices (55k. M. canonverse. Ongoing)
Everything is the same except the Sakusas are super rich.Â
âOh, if you want dear, you could bring a plus one. Though, I doubt you have a partner yet.â
âI do actually.â
âWhat was that, dear?â
"I do have a partner, I mean."
alt title: crazy rich sakusasÂ
 the inherent romance of classical conditioning (or; the fine art of emotional recognition), by pseudoanalytics (13k. E. canonverse)
Ah, yes. A Pavloved sex life. A Pavloved LOVE life??Â
It's stupid. Atsumu isn't a romantic, no matter how many times he's imagined laying Sakusa out and finally really touching him.
So there's no explanation for why Atsumu is constantly stuck thinking about brushing his fingertips against the meat of Sakusa's palms or the prominent tendons in his freaky wrists.
There's no explanation for why doing dishes sets off a warm burn in his ribcage, or why when he smells disinfectant he inhales like he's walking past a bakery.
Yer doin' this to me, he thinks furiously, as Sakusa derails his thoughts with kisses that come more and more frequently now. Yer conditionin' me, and I can't stop it.
 flutterbird (a collection of sakuatsu oneshots), by wordstruck (5 works. T-E. canonverse)
Works 1-3, I think follow a linear story, whereas the last two don't.Â
All sakuatsu works are just the angstiest, most miscommunication filled pieces of absolute gold and this one is no exception. Wow. These men are assholes and they bring out the worst in each other, but Iâll be damned if theyâre not soulmates.Â
Collection of SakuAtsu fics. Several fics are loosely set in the same storyverse. Not necessarily directly connected and can all be read as standalones.

LATE LATE LATE
But I'm finally here!!!
Lol it was so difficult to choose questions because i know your answers to most of them hahahaah. So, may i know 14, 20, 26 and 31 for the AoT anniversary asks?
Hehe Mrs Smith you are never late to send me anything <3 Aww, you know my answers to most of them, you say? Let's see if you guessed my answers for these questions correctly then :p
14: If you contribute to the fandom, whatâs your proudest work?
I would say, organising and hosting my Happy Birthday Levi event last year was the best thing I ever did. I got to know so many amazing authors, artists, and content creators, and I got to see so many amazing works all for Levi!!
It wasn't easy trying to host and manage an entire event all by myself, especially when I was in the midst of my exams and I had so many pieces to write too. But, all was definitely worth it, because all the works from everyone that joined were top-tier and absolutely spectacular!!! I was so afraid that this event would flop, but thanks to you and so many others, this birthday event for Levi was a success!!!
Thank you to everyone who joined my event last year, and who knows, maybe I'll host it again this year....?? Hehe.
20: What was the hardest death for you?
Oh god this is probably the worst question to ask me, because every death in SNK is just pure pain. But if I really had to choose, it would be Mike's.
He's Humanity's Second Strongest, just a title behind Levi. He's older than Levi, and he's been in the Survey Corps longer than Levi. Yet, Mike got torn apart and eaten alive, and the way he was screaming in agony before he died just brought me so much pain and anguish. It also made me feel really fucking scared for Levi, because if Mike as Humanity's Second Strongest ends up in this situation, it just seemed so 'real' that Levi might face the same thing any time too.
Mike's death really scared and pained me, and I was hoping so badly that Levi doesn't face the same thing. I was so afraid that Levi might die any time. Also, this is the reason why I'll never like Z*ke. He caused the death of Mike and (indirectly) Erwin, and he caused my husband to lose his right eye and two damn fingers.
Also, honourable mention to Farlan and Isabel, as well as the OG Levi Squad. I cry every time I re-read the manga panels leading to their deaths. It's like someone sliced open my chest and tugged my heart out, pulling my heartstrings apart. Also the freaking No Regrets OVA and the episode where Eld, Gunther, and Oluo's families were looking forward to their return. I fucking lose it all the time at this part, and also when Petra's dad talked to Levi.
26: Who would be your best friend irl?
Definitely Sasha!!! She's my foodie bestie, and I just know that in canonverse, the both of us would just be fighting to eat potatoes and meat lmao. In a modern au, the both of us would definitely go café hunting, look for lots of good food, and spend all our time together eating and finding new favourite food joints.
Sasha's the extroverted one while I'm the introvert, I feel like our friendship would be mildly similar to how hers and Mikasa's would be. Hehe.
Another person I feel would be a best friend of mine would be Pieck. Well, not really a best friend, but like an older sister I can confide in. Pieck is so chill and her vibes are just so welcoming and calm, I feel like I can share anything with her and receive zero judgement.
Also yes Mikasa is my favourite girl in SNK but I feel like because we're kinda similar, we might not end up clicking that well? Idk. She'll probably kick my ass in a fist fight too :x
31: Favorite trio?
Oh damn this was so hard to choose!!!!
The obvious answer is the Veterans trio aka Erwin, Levi, and Mike because of very obvious reasons HAHAHA, and you know why too!!! The oozing testosterone from all three of them mhmmm. Yes please.
But!!!!! My heart will always have a soft spot for Levi, Farlan, and Isabel!!! <3 They're Levi's first 'friends' and people whom he can really trust given his closed off personality and bad childhood experiences, and I can tell that Levi really loved the two of them, more than he loved himself. I wished Farlan and Isabel were here to see the man their Levi aniki had become.
SNK 9th anniversary asks!
#ack3rlady.asks#rei.answers#we're called veterans wives for a reason right mrs smith#hehehe#also i'll never shut up about levi farlan and isabel#and the og levi squad#they're irreplaceable

Fanfic year in review
Iâm just gonna start with this:
Thatâs how much fic I wrote and posted in 2021, and all but about 2k of that was for SPN. Thatâs how much this show has given me severe brainrot.
1. Whatâs your favorite story this year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you the happiest.
There Are Roads Left in Both of Our Shoes for reasons I already talked about here. But basically, itâs the longest fic Iâve ever managed to complete, my first time doing a Big Bang of any kind, and I really poured so much of myself into it Iâm still kind of suffering from writing burnout as a result, lol. (But hopefully I can recover enough to get my draft for the DCSB done over the coming month...)
2. Okay, NOW your most popular story.
Adoration and Lamentation - though I think thatâs mostly after commissioning and adding @sketching-foxâs incredible artwork to it! But hey, if getting an amazing artist to do a piece for one of my favorite stories Iâve written will bring it more attention, Iâm happy for that! It is kind of hard to get a foothold in this fandom, coming in so late as I did, so a little extra promotion is sometimes necessary to get any attention :)
3. Story most under-appreciated by the universe?
I Only Have Pies For You - Granted it was my first time writing both SPN and The Good Place, but I had so much fun writing this story and I still think I managed some clever ideas with dropping Cas and Dean into TGPâs universe.
4. Story that could have been better?
Again I sort of answered that here as my least favorite story, but Dirty Life and Times - because I just found it a lot harder to adapt the soulmate trope to canonverse Dean/Cas than Iâd anticipated it would be.
5. Sexiest story?
I guess for sheer volume of smuttiness, There Are Roads Left in Both of Our Shoes, the story with so much sex in it Dean probably needed some magical viagra but, well, I still stand by the fact that freshly human Cas would be horny as fuck and so would Dean after all that time of repression and denial.
6. Most fun story?
I Only Have Pies For You - I mean, I got to write Cas battling spirits trashing Tahaniâs garden party and Dean and Eleanor bonding, what is more fun than that?
7. Story with single sweetest moment?
Iâm gonna have to go with Crowley meeting Jack in The edge of the woods. Because it kind of came out of nowhere, I hadnât even been planning on that happening, but as soon as the thought came to my mind that whole scene just wrote itself.
8. The story that made you cry?
There Are Roads Left in Both of Our Shoes - Writing and editing the last chapter (epilogue) made me cry every damn time (if you havenât read it, no itâs not tragic sad, just a bittersweet happy-sad thing, I promise! Of basically letting a child move on to the next stage of life knowing theyâll come back to you some day, but...yeah, Iâve had people tell me it made them cry, too, so I know it got across what I wanted it to.)
9. Hardest story to write?
(until) you give yourself to him - was kind of tricky but I think it worked in the end? I was trying to juggle a lot of balls with this one: a background case, Dean developing a different kind of âaddictionâ, and working in some trueform weirdness into the smutty bits. It changed a lot as I was working on it, and I was so thankful for @kimannebbââs help here convincing me it was making sense and not too out there.
10. Easiest story to write?
I could almost pick any of the 200-500 word ficlets I wrote for slashthedrabble for this, as most were quick one day writing exercises. But of all of those the one I think came to me the fastest and clearest in my mind was Come Rest on Us.

multiples of 3 âđŒ-sgmdrcklee
@sagemoderocklee youâre really trying to kill me lol
This got long as heck so Iâm throwing it behind a cut. Read on for answers and fic recs! (Mostly the fic recs)
3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year
This is a tough one to answer for me generally because I tend to spit words onto the page and once I have written them I no longer remember writing them. And 2020 has stretched on so long that as Iâm looking at some of the stuff I wrote in the beginning of this year, I hardly remember whatâs even in it. I think at one point someone (@goblin-draws maybe?) mentioned a line in Sleeptalk with Me where the innkeeper calls Kankuro âchubby boyâ, and I was like âOh ... did I write that? Yeah, sounds like something Iâd have someone say to Kankuro ...âÂ
It might be easier to talk about this in other terms. One of the scenes I worked the hardest on this year was the fight scene in Chapter 3 of Skeleton Key. The original draft of the scene was a lot shorter, and a lot of the backstory for Misakiâs revenge quest was elided. The scene as originally written was clunky, confusing, and as my lovely wife/beta put it sounded âlike a Naruto villainâ was doing the dialogue, when previously sheâd found Misaki sinister and intriguing. Which wasnât what I wanted. I basically entirely overhauled the scene and re-wrote it several times. I wouldnât call it a âfavoriteâ scene (I hate writing fight scenes generally; having chosen to immerse myself in a fandom about ninja where much of the drama comes from battle is my eternal regret), but it is a scene that I put a lot of effort into, and Iâm moderately satisfied with the improved product that resulted. Â
6. least popular fic this year
By far my least popular fic by kudos ever is Pitch Perfect. Which makes complete sense to me. Itâs a fic where Iâve written 2 characters who are men in canon as cis women, which pushes a lot of uncomfortable buttons for a lot of people. It contains F/F smut, which is something that a lot of people who choose to read GaaLee probably arenât out there looking for. And people comment and kudos less on smutfics, I assume because they donât want their username attached to porn or because theyâre embarrassed (which I totally get, no shame there). Itâs a modern AU with a sports twist, and AUs are often less popular than canonverse in my experience. I will say though that it has a surprisingly high number of private bookmarks compared to other fics with comparable hit and kudos counts. So I assume people are just a bit more shy because the premise is so âout thereâ. I will say as far as my fics go, itâs one of my personal favorites and probably one of the most intimate and true-to-life things Iâve written? So it actually is a little comforting to know that something so vulnerable has relatively little attention.Â
9. longest wip of the year
If weâre going based on stuff thatâs partially published but not complete, my Gaara-adopts-Shinki fic On My Way Home is my longest in-progress fic at just over 20k words, although technically I started it in 2019. It will probably end up being right around 40-50k when itâs complete, which might end up situating it as my longest fic ever?Â
12. favorite character to write about this year
Okay, this is an easy one. I love writing Kankuro. I think he is hilarious. He is the devil on my shoulder and a creature of pure id, and every time I write a line of dialogue for him itâs the summation of my rudest thoughts about a situation put in the crudest possible terms. If there were a megaphone directly from my unfiltered brain giving running commentary, that would be Kankuro.
15. something you learned this year
I have learned SO much this year! This is only my 2nd year properly âfocusingâ on writing fic and investing any substantial time into it. I think the biggest thing I have learned, though, is how to overcome a lot of my self-consciousness about writing stories with NSFW elements in them. Starting out, I was so extremely shy and mortified about writing fic at all, much less things like hugging or (god forbid!) kissing. So taking on the smut prompts I took this year and really buckling down on learning to write the mechanics and emotions of sex has been a massive learning experience. (And sorry, by the way, if I havenât gotten to a prompt you sent me in January yet. I do intend to write all of them eventually!)Â
18. current number of WIPs
Ah. The call-out question. My general fic process is idea -> outline -> wip -> edit -> ready to post (where the final draft sits in my docs until I gin up the courage to actually post it). So skipping fics that are just âideasâ on the big mega-list, I have 3 fics in the âoutlineâ stage, 13 fics in the partially written âwipâ stage, 1 fic in the âeditingâ stage, and 2 that are complete but yet-to-be-posted. So, like, 19 total in the offing. (The âideasâ list is even worse lol.)
21. most memorable comment/review
This is such a difficult question because every single comment I get makes me do a little dance for joy. Thatâs not an exaggeration btw I really sit there and like bounce around in my seat for a moment before I open the Ao3 email. I am not an especially emotive person irl, but there have been times Iâve been brought near tears by comments. Iâll also occasionally show them to my wife like !! look at this nice thing this person said !! and sheâs indulgent enough to actually read them. There have been a couple comments that have really stuck with me, that I starred in my inbox and return to frequently, but I donât want to bring attention to someone else without their permission. I will say there was one person recently who mentioned (not in the comments on one of my fics) that they had found someone who does physical binding of fanfiction and they were about to ask my permission to do that, but then the person who does the binding only does certain ships that she likes ... so that, just, absolutely floored me. The idea that someone might actual want a physical copy of my stupid little ninja fanfictions is, like, so truly immense and completely overwhelming?
24. favorite fic you read this year
You canât make me pick just one!! (For reference, I have bookmarked right around 180 fics in the past year, and thatâs not including fics that I just read, really enjoyed, but didnât think I could âhandleâ a second time around.) So, skipping over the ones that ARENâT Naruto ... here is a brief sampling of some faves:
Silica by deepestbluest (rated E, GaaLee, ShikaTema, and Kankiba) - An absolute emotional powerhouse of a fic that manages to skillfully interweave three complex relationship dynamics, satisfactorily resolve them, and give you ALL the sandsibs feels in just over 10k words.Â
Childhood Not-Friends (series) by MegaWallflower (rated G, KakaGai) - @megawallflower is a KakaGai god for good reason. Absolutely adorable relationship development fics (five of them!) with the premise that Kakashi thinks he and Gai have been dating since they were kids ... Gai just hasnât been clued into it yet. These stories will give you heart-eyes.
The Bright Side by gidget_goes (rated T, GaaLee) - This is the Buffy AU I never knew I needed, because Iâve never seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But truly you donât need any Buffy knowledge to enjoy this fic. @gidget-goes command of imagery is masterful, and the way they manage to snap from snark to tugging at your heartstrings is awe-inspiring. Gaara breaks my heart in this. And did I mention Kankuro wears a 10-gallon hat? Because Kankuro wears a 10-gallon hat.Â
Nature vs. Nurture by Bidiza (rated T, GaaLee) - So introspective and so poetic. This looks like a WIP but itâs actually multiple oneshots, although by the end of the second one youâll be dying for the rest of the promised series.Â
Iâm a Fool to Want You by BeelieveRosemarie (rated M, GaaLee) - Turns out @tuttiefruttiegaalee isnât just an amazing artist, theyâre a writer, too! Slow-dancing that will break your heart. Listen to the Frank Sinatra song while you read this for extra tear-jerking effect.
Let Love be Known (series) by TenTomatoes (rated G, GaaLee) - This is the twist on the arranged marriage trope and Beauty and the Beast that I didnât realize this fandom was missing. Iâm absolutely obsessed with their concept of Gaara as the Beast
I Could Be by LilacNoctua (rated T, GaaLee) - I know I big up @lilac-writes Worthwhile series a lot (deservedly so, because itâs so good it makes you look at the series and go âWhy the fuck didnât Kishimoto make this canon exactly like this?â), but this story made me absolutely die between the butterflies in my stomach and how hard I was laughing. Thereâs one line--youâll know it when you read it--that absolutely bowls me over every time I re-read this.Â
And Then Continue by EgregiousDerp (rated E, GaaLee) - Obviously Iâm biased because this was a gift, but @egregiousderp writes some of the the best characterized porn Iâve ever read. You will read this and go âWow! This is exactly how it would happen!â Itâs such a tender, beautiful exploration of Gaaraâs insecurities and a very real feeling first time, for all its soft edges.Â
Cake by citronelle (rated E, KanKiba) - I donât even know what to say about this one other than ... phew, this is extremely well written, extremely hot, and extremely in character. Just read it. I promise itâs worth it.Â
Saudade by YumKiwiDelicious (rated M, GaaLee) - Iâve run around reccing this to just about every person on the face of the earth at this point. If youâre in the GaaLee Discord you probably saw everyone salivating over every new update of this fic and with good reason. The twists and turns of this fic will have you on the edge of your seat, second guessing every single moment. And it will break your heart in the meantime. What more could you want?
the love potion commotion by floating_cats (rated T, NejiSasu with background GaaLee) - One of those fics where you wish the authorâs sense of humor was your own. So many hilarious moments in this story, and it brought me a new appreciation for a ship I never would have even considered.Â
Finger Lickinâ Good by whazzername (rated E, GaaLee) - Whazz is another one of those authors where I literally want to rec every single thing sheâs ever written, sheâs just that good. (Speaking of which, if you havenât read Fools Rush In and its sequel Degrees of Separation, youâre missing out on the best possible Metal origin story of all time. Donât deprive yourself of this.) But this story is just ... so incredibly in character for a situation that reads like crack. Itâs handled with the utmost straight-facedness and itâs so. freakinâ. good.Â
heart lines by winterberry_holly (rated M, NejiTen and GaaLee) - I donât even have the words to describe how perfect this fic is. Itâs a truly beautiful exploration of Tentenâs relationship with her palmistry hobby and with the people in her life. My heart ached with every single line.Â
Standing on Ceremony by kuroashi (rated E, GaaLee) - This is just ... such a beautiful wedding story. So lovely, like getting the best possible warm hug from someone you love. If that love one was slightly strange and socially inept, because, well. Itâs still Gaara doing Gaara-things. @baphometsss is another one of those authors whose handling of smut scenes is so stupendous it makes me wildly jealous.Â
Thrall by RokiRiot (rated T, GaaLee) - Idiots-to-lovers with a magic AU twist! This is such a wonderful story, and Gaaraâs internal monologue is absolutely amazing. And Lee is Deaf in this fic, which I never ever get to see and which absolutely made my entire day/week/month/life.Â
Make-Out Consequences by LuxaLucifer (rated M, KakaGai with background canon Boruto ships) - I laughed so hard reading this that I had to take a breather to stop crying. Thatâs not an exaggeration. The characterization in this fic is impeccable and the humor is to die for. Narutoâs buffoonery truly shines here, and the authorâs wit is just beyond anything I could even properly summarize. Hysterical. A++.Â
Thirteen Strokes by Luna_Lee (rated T, GaaLee) - Again, like, if you arenât reading literally everything @sagemoderocklee writes, are you even really a GaaLee fan? But this fic is beyond even for one of Eeriâs incredibly excellent writings. The worldbuilding in this, the cultural notes, the imagery ... itâs all so lush and so fulfilling and so beautiful. Itâs a story about love and itâs a story that you can tell has love poured into every single line. I canât recommend it enough.Â
Checkmate by shadowstrangle (rated G, GaaLee) - The pettiness vibes ... this is so funny. Such a cute story and I love Gaaraâs sense of humor here. Not a lot of writers give him a sense of humor, but I love how @shadowstrangle gives him a slightly odd, slightly left-of-center take on humor that still manages to be so funny.Â
To Court a Village by FanFictionEngineer (rated G, GaaLee) - Another one where my bias is perhaps slightly obvious, but the premise of this fic is amazing. I love cultural misunderstandings, and the idea of Lee trying his hardest to court Gaara ineptly is just so perfect.Â
affliction of feeling by theformerone (rated E, SakuHina) - One of those ships that it would never have occurred to me to seek out but that absolutely works with how the authorâs set it up. The dynamics here are delicious. Itâs so rare to find good F/F porn but this is one of them for sure.Â
Tried and Tested by twentysomething (Rated M, KakaIru with background canon Boruto ships and GaaLee) - Irukaâs narration in this story is just incredible. I havenât laughed this hard reading a fic in ages. And the concept alone (that Naruto canât be promoted to Hokage until he passes his chuunin exams ... as an adult ... and Sasuke gets dragged along for the ride) is just brilliant. Amazing concept, amazingly executed.Â
a fireside waltz by winterberry_holly (rated M, GaaLee) - I really tried not to rec a single author more than once here but for this one I had to. I got about halfway through this fic and immediately started running around ringing the town crier bell like READ THIS FIC! READ THIS FIC! An absolutely smoldering Regency AU with such beautiful, intimate dance scenes. My heart was racing every single time their fingers brushed. If you donât read anything else on this list, at the very least read this.Â
27. favorite fanfic author of the year
I really canât pick just one. I am lucky enough that @egregiousderp passes me her drafts under the table before (or without) publishing, and getting to read those is a private treat of unparalleled proportions. Some of my favorite things Iâve read this year I canât even rec because theyâre her unpublished stuff.Â
30. favorite fandom to read fic from this year
This is gonna come off strange because I just wrote such a long Naruto reclist, but I recently watched What We Do in the Shadows, and found an incredibly talented group of authors in that fandom with really amazingly good dialogue and narrative voice. I also read a lot of fic for the new It movies (even though I couldnât watch the 2nd one for ~reasons~), and damn if there isnât a talented crop of authors in that fandom, too. And finally with ATLA making its way onto Netflix, I had the chance to start watching that for the first time and found a ton of really good fic there as well!Â
fanfic end of the year asks!

Itâs @agirlnamedkeithâs birthday today! And since I could not get my shit together enough to write anything for her, I thought that--at the risk of making her feel weird--I would talk a little bit about her writing instead.
âIâll talk about three fics I love of hers,â I thought, and then went to her AO3 profile and realized it would be impossible to narrow it down to three. So. Five fics of Hannahâs that I love, in no particular order, and obviously not a remotely comprehensive list, also I am skipping We Make the Rules because everyone knows itâs amazing but let me be clear that it is fucking amazing and I think about it like once a week, and anyway:
with a hint of sin (Jaime/Addam/Brienne, rated E, 5851 words) - LOVE ME SOME J/A/B, YâALL. Back when I first discovered Hannahâs fic and I was looking through her back catalog, I saw her J/A/B fics and went â...huhâ and then I read them and went âyessssssss.â This canonverse-ish fic involves several extremely sexy scenarios and also the warmth and connection between the three of them is so palpable and swoony. Addamâs description of Brienne thatâs used in the summary makes me a little teary (and, okay, also thirsty) every time, and I love how Brienne is inexperienced in this but still enthusiastic, and the hot and affectionate history between Jaime and Addam, and just generally the thought of the three of them having this little sexy sweet cocoon in the middle of everything thatâs raging around them. I just adore it.
iâll unfold before you (WIP, J/B, rated E, 9258 words so far) - PAINTER!JAIME. QUASI-REGENCY PAINTER JAIME. This one holds a special place in my heart because, well, painter!Jaime and a fiercely stubborn pugilistic Brienne, but also because I answered Hannahâs open request for a backup beta one night in an attempt to aggressively make her my friend and it totally worked. MUAHAHA. Anyway, the premise of this is genius--Brienneâs unwanted betrothed Connington has commissioned starving-artist-because-of-reasons Jaime Hill to paint a portrait of her, and she asks Jaime to make her look as unappealing as possible in it, and that works out pretty much as well as you would expect. Jaime and Brienne truly seeing each other is something I never get tired of, and the way Jaime, with his artistic eye, sees Brienne in this fic is just devastating on every level. Brienne also finds it very inspirational, and the results are extremely hot and extremely romantic. This is a WIP but I also have it on good authority that we have divan shenanigans and possibly some under-Brienneâs-dress action in our future, so best to get caught up now and then attempt to prepare yourself for whatâs coming next (j/k you canât).
because i know no other way (J/B, rated T, 1454 words) - A short and sweet high school AU Valentineâs Day fic where Jaime works adorably hard to express his affection for his girlfriend Brienne in the ways he thinks sheâd most like it expressed. Characters making the effort to speak each otherâs love languages is one of my bulletproof kinks, and this is just so fucking delightful and hilarious and also includes Jaime informing her that heâs âalmost problematically hard ninety percent of the time,â which is an amazing line. SO ADORABLE, just a quick little shot of endorphins, like a really good piece of chocolate.
my heart is holding on to you (WIP, J/B, rated T, 21830 words so far) - This is also a WIP and I love it so much. A post-canon setup where Brienne and Jaime have gone their separate ways and then he comes back to visit her on Tarth after sheâs been married, had children, and been widowed. I absolutely adore the delicate way this is handled, the way we get both the echo of their former intimacy and the awareness that theyâre not the same people now that they were then. They have to reckon with their old hurts and mistakes and get to know each other again, and re-learn how to be friends (and, of course, hopefully lovers too) while still discovering new things about themselves, too. Itâs all very achy and sweet and deft and romantic as fuck, and their sloooooow (perfectly, thoughtfully slow) progression back toward each other is just a;lskdjfa;lsgjka;slgja PUT YOUR MOUTHS ON EACH OTHERâS MOUTHS BUT ALSO IâM LOVING THIS JOURNEY FOR BOTH OF YOU. I also really love how theyâre both such individuals in this; theyâre perfectly capable of going on without each other, theyâre just slowly realizing that they really donât want to, which is another one of my bulletproof kinks, and re-reading this to write up this rec has me all in my feelings again. JUST READ IT ITâS VERY GOOD.
a helping hand (J/B, rated M, 2011 words) and make me wanna drop (J/A/B, rated E, 1804 words) - BROJOBS. I LOVE THIS âVERSE SO MUCH. Jaime is such a hot bisexual disaster in this, and I love a Brienne who knows what she likes even if sheâs still a little uncertain about doing it with a friend, and the juxtaposition of casual(-yet-also-not) and scorching hot here is just... WHEW. The first fic involves Jaime and Brienne watching each other jerk off (ALWAYS GOOD) and then the second one involves Jaime and Addam competing to see which of them is better at eating Brienne out (ALSO EXTREMELY GOOD). It also includes this immortal observation: If Jaime is a human golden retriever (over the top, enthusiastic and eager to please), then Addam is a cat (cool, calm, and exceedingly disinterested in anyoneâs approval). I CANNOT GET OVER HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT DESCRIPTION, and itâs in my mind every time I read a J/A/B fic. Sooooooo fucking good. Thereâs also a J/A/B tender spitroast that may or may not be in the same âverse, I donât know for sure, but either way itâs lovely and hot as fuck and you should read it.Â
So those are my Hannahâs Birthday Recs! As I said, not remotely a comprehensive list; what a gift to have her talents in this fandom. I could also say things about how she is hilarious and charming and kind and smart and sharp and excellently bitey in the service of good causes, but I donât want to embarrass her, so I will just say: happy birthday, Hannah! I love you, you asshole, and Iâm so glad weâre friends, and I sincerely hope this year treats you infinitely better than the last one did. (And if at any point you want a fic from me, consider this an IOU.) â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž

Happy anniversary to the Good Omens TV show! I didnât get the chance to write a fic specifically to celebrate (where did May go? Perhaps Iâll do something in June for my own go-versary), so instead here I am with 25 recs :D Thanks so much to @forineffablereasonsâ for the bingo board (here is her original post)! And thanks so much to the Good Omens fandom for countless hours of incredible fic to read and enjoy <3 Obviously, this list barely scratches the surface of whatâs out there, but here are some of my favorites! Â
A fic youâve read several times: South Downs University series by @niededâ
Iâve read this series probably... ten times, and I still love it. It fits (one of my absolute favorite) very niche categories with Crowley and Aziraphale being cryptid professors and utterly confusing their students, and i am HERE for it
A fic not abt Aziraphale and Crowley: Bridge over troubled water by @moondawntreaderâ
LISTEN this fic is so good, Iâve read it probably four times and itâs incredible. Short, but so powerful in so few words. Leslie/Maud is the true otp ;D
A fic published before the show aired: Slytherin Vaguely Downwards by @saviobriionâ
This fic is really, really well-written, and does a fantastic job transporting many Good Omens characters into the HP universe in a way that works really well!
A fic you followed as a wip: on the same page by @thechekhovâ
Still a WIP, and still incredible! Az and Crowley as authors with their own Arrangement is already fantastic, but add in the fake-dating-while-pining-desperately? Incredible!
a human AU: secondhand smoke by @paintedvanillaâ
This is probably my favorite fic in the entire good omens fandom tbh... human au set in the 1990s, and so so so well done-- this is another fic Iâve read several times, and every time i notice something new. The characterization and prose is fantastic, the development of Crowley and Aziraphaleâs relationship is really sweet and realistic, and this was also the fic that definitively got me on board for Newt/Anathema as well!
A fic shorter than 2k: For Holding by theycallmeDernhelm
Ahh this one is really soft! Post-apocalypse hand holding is my jam, and the author does a lovely job of saying so much in so few words <3
A fic you stayed up way too late reading: Not So Different by effing_gravity
I stayed up until maybe... three in the morning reading this fic? After every chapter I would tell myself to only read one more, but it was so gripping I read it all in one sitting! Reverse omens meets the canon husbands in a super interesting and thrilling fic!
A south downs fic: The consciousness of loving and being loved by yolkinthejump
This is like... the platonic ideal of a South Downs fic imo. The author does an absolutely incredible job of conveying the depth of their relationship, and itâs so sweet and soft and <3
A fic with a favorite trope: There goes the neighbourhood by @jasmine-cottage-ukâ
so technically Iâm cheating because the âfavorite tropeâ in this one is ALSO south downs (like above), but. This fic is so funny, and the author does a great job of capturing Aziraphale and Crowleyâs voices and the way the care for each other, itâs very sweet <3
A dowling years fic: Floriography by Frenchmeister
This fic is very cute! Excellent Dowling-era pining, complete with misunderstandings and veiled communications :D And the author does such a lovely job weaving the narrative to show Aziraphale and Crowleyâs growing relationship
A historical fic: Phersu by JCutter
This fic. THIS FIC. Is so fucking incredibly detailed and immersive, oh my god. Iâm still (admittedly) in the process of reading it, but itâs a GEM. The characterization is on point and the whole thing is beautifully written and wonderfully interesting! Itâs super clear the author knew what they were writing about, and that knowledge and passion really shines through
A favorite canonverse fic: England's pleasant pastures seen by @heavens-bookshopâ
this fic is my JAM-- overhearing a conversation, implicit marriage proposals, post-canon sweetness... this oneâs got it all! And, as with all of their fics, squiddz does an incredible job of writing Aziraphale and Crowley in character and so wonderfully in love <3
MY FIC: A Guide to Fame for the Enterprising Demon by me!
This is my favorite fic Iâve written for Good Omens, and quite possibly my favorite fic ever. Listen, Crowley getting accidentally famous is SO funny to me, as is outsider pov, so if I write about it a lot... ¯\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
A fic that made you cry: reasons wretched and divine by @stammiviktorâ
Allison has been one of my favorite writers for a good long while, and this fic is just one of her amazing works. Itâs touching and meaningful and so moving even in only a few thousand words, and between her characterization and writing style... this one packs a punch in the best of ways
A fic that inspires you: The Name of the Star is Wormwood by LusBeatha
So technically this could have gone up above, in the âstayed up too late readingâ category, because hereâs another that was just too exciting to put down From beginning to end, the author does and incredible job connecting the past and present, and introducing characters in such an engaging way that, even though the fic is quite long, it goes by super fast. Probably my fave take on Raphael!Crowley :D
A fic youâd recommend to someone new to the fandom: Shotgun Wedding: sometimes a first date requires paperwork by @charlottemadison42â
Still a wip, and absolutely amazing! Charlotte is an absolutely incredible author, and from the very beginning this fic does an amazing job of integrating canon characters (and even little nods and references to canon!) into an entirely different human au setting in a super engaging and clever way. 12/10 would recommend to someone new, and the slow burn is incredibly satisfying right up to the (current) resolution!
A comfort fic: it's a new craze by @areyougonnabeâ, [podfic] it's a new craze by @niceandaccuratetheatreâ
Iâve read this fic a few times, and it never gets old. attheborderâs humor is on point, and the conception itself- aziraphale and crowley on an advice podcast- is incredible! I would highly, highly recommend listening to the podfic if you can; itâs excellently performed, and in all honesty the podfic that got me onto podfics ;D
A fic that found you at the right time: two dad shaped beings by @jarchivismâ
i....... cannot express how much I love ineffable parents. And this fic seriously, seriously hits the spot. Itâs super cute, super funny, and a really sweet and engaging read! The author did a lovely job with keeping Az and Crowley in character even as they raise the antichrist together
A fic youâd love to see as a movie: All's Fair In Love And Serial Killing by @wyvernquillâ
[Mind the tags] This fic does an incredible job of balancing darker content with humor. The whole story is fast-paced and exciting, keeping the suspense right up until the last moment, and the author does a fantastic job of constructing a satisfying âmystery!â Most of all, the more morbid moments are countered by Wyvernâs clever writing style and narrative voice, making this fic interesting and even surprisingly fun!
A fic by a favorite author: Four Cups of Wine by borealowl
I really, really love this fic. The whole concept, of Aziraphale and Crowley getting to know a family of humans and learn about their cultural heritage through celebration is wonderful, and the author does a wonderful job of portraying the growth of their friendship! The entire series (both main fic and the one-shots that come after) is incredibly fun and interesting, and one of my faves in the fandom
A fic that made you laugh out loud: What's in a Name? by @rosen-ritterâ
The first time I read this I was in public, waiting at a car rental place for my grandparents. So the fact that I couldnât stop laughing out loud was... honestly worth it. This series is so fucking funny from beginning to end, especially on reread, and has such a fun take on who the archangel Raphael really is ;D
A fic longer than 20k: Dad Omens by @pookaseraphâ
have I mentioned I love ineffable parents??? Because I really, really do. This fic is hilarious, sweet, and adorable, and I absolutely love the progression of Crowley and Aziraphaleâs relationship as they raise Adam together-- and, despite not being human, raise him well :D An absolutely wonderful take on what if the baby swap had been even more confused?
A fic with the them: and i don't care if you don't want me (i'm yours anyhow) by @quidfreeâ
The main focus of this fic is Warlock, but the Them are featured pretty heavily and in a really important way! Itâs a lovely exploration of kids growing up and going to college, and learning who they really are, and written so well and with such nuance that I really couldnât put it down!
A fic with a line you still remember: A More Nourishing Love by @qorktreesâ
This fic is just. Really powerful. Itâs so, so clear how much Aziraphale and Crowley care for each other, how much they love and support each other, and their unconditional love for each other makes me tear up every time <3 Â
A GO: Lockdown fic: New slang by @carishouldbesleeping
This fic is super super cute! A lovely take on Aziraphale and Crowleyâs reunion post-lockdown, complete with fluff and love confessions <3 So well-written and absolutely adorable!

whats your favorite art piece / au you've made so far and why? also why are you such an absolute blessing all the time? who gave you the right to be so amazing and talented and loving and thoughtful all at once?
Hi noonie!
I LEGIT MADE NOISES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE METRO. ASK MY BOYFRIEND AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH YOU ARE THE SWEET AND AMAZING ONE OKAY I LOVE YOUÂ đđđ
Iâm having a hard time and you just made me so happy right now. Like, I have this constant fear here on Tumblr, on this blog, after everything that happened and Iâm afraid of people just coming after me every time I post or reblog something, so seeing this and that people do not hate me or want me dead really relieves me, and also motivates me to keep going.
So, thank you so, so much darling â€
But omg OKAY THAT IS SUCH A GOOD AND DIFFICULT QUESTION! THANK YOU!!! This is gonna be lengthy, please sit down.
Art piece I cannot decide on one, Iâm so sorry! I really like a few for different reasons, let me explain jajajajaja
I really love this drawing I did for canonverse (link) for the lights and shadows and also the story it tells, about how they are after a mission, okay and alive but slightly scratched, but also how Connor looks at an exhausted Ona full of emotion and concern. I just like how Connor pines after this tiny, reckless human that makes his thirium pump do backflips into the sun.
But also this one, canonverse too (link, the full pic is on twitter -linked in the post too- because we all know Tumblr cannot deal with nipples, so WARNING: NUDITY) with Connor and Ona sharing a sweet and intimate moment. Iâm still so proud about Connorâs profile and that I managed to do a background and not die in the process xD But I donât know, maybe the softness of the scene or the sweet moment makes it one of my favs (even if I try not to see the anatomy mistakes shhhhh)
Aaaaand mafia!AU couldnât be forgotten because I really LOVE how this drawing turned out (link WARNING: NSFW). It has a raw power between Ona and Nines, just in their steamy world, being passionate about each other and not caring about the world outside Onaâs bedroom.
But my last favourite piece has to be this cute and sweet canonverse (canonverse is fucking winning folks) drawing I did of Ona and Connor slow dancing (link). Itâs gentle, a beautiful little moment between them, Connor letting go of his worries and anxieties, of being another species entirely, and letting himself be happy and loved by his beloved human. Iâm a sucker for cute and romantic settings Iâm sorry >_>
Favourite AU? This is such a difficult choice because I love all the AUs for their little details and how much creativity they can bring into a story aghhhhh every single one is so special!
But both Fantasy!AU and Mafia!AU have a soft spot, specially the Fantasy!AU because I just love medieval-fantasy settings so much, and well, Ona kicking ass with a sword and armour while Connor is the mastermind behind all the best negotiations and plans this kingdom ever had. Dream Team! And in the middle of it all they have the hots for each other so bad you cannot help but root for them and celebrate the day they confess and kiss. Lots of adventure, lots of mutual pining and slow burn! Maybe a dragon somewhere too.
(Who are we kidding Ona in armour AND DRESSES and wielding swords and daggers while fighting a McFucking Dragon. BUT ALSO CONNOR IN FANCY ROYAL CLOTHING!!! CAPES! BEAUTIFUL VESTS! SDFJFDSDSFDS)
But also Mafia!AU is just. A lot. It has various depths, more dark and sinful games, more sweet and well-deserved happiness, it has a various range of themes, emotions and subjects that makes it very interesting to explore. And well, we all fall for mafia!AUs because itâs interesting ajajajaja But thereâs something to it that makes you work with the characters and put them in difficult and painful situations, make them have to take hard decisions in order to survive, for the world to see that not everything is black or white, but the world is covered in different shades of grey. I dunno, itâs such a fascinating world!
Magic World!AU, Pirates & Mermaids!AU and Witch!AU also are picking my interest! The first for the plot and just worldbuilding, the second because PIRATES AND MERMAIDS, NEED I SAY MORE? Pirate Captain brothers dealing with sassy mermaids and all the shenanigans. Who would have said they would fall in love? ïżœïżœïżœ And the latter because I love worlds filled with magic and all the fun things you can do in it!
(I love all the AUâs so much dfhjsdd)

The image above is not an entirely accurate representation of how each writer was paired up, it was the best we could do considering we shifted the order each round based on the rankings. The number next to the authors name in each bracket is their rank for that round!

When the partyâs over (Rated T) [Bellamy & Octavia] by safeandsound13 @captaindaddykruâ
Summary: Bellamy goes into the anomaly to save Octavia. What he finds, is a trail of bodies. {Or: a canonverse take on Hansel & Gretel}

Itâs all fun and games in a world where no one gets older. But then a strange man appears one day and Marcus Kane provides a reality check to Bellamy that heâs not prepared to accept.
Where is the path to Wonderland? (Rated T) [Bellamy x Clarke] by myonetruelove @justwalkedawayâ
Summary: Separated from their friends in the Anomaly, Clarke and Bellamy find themselves lost in a world so different from their own.
The Sixth Bride (Rated M) [Bellamy x Roan] by Shen_Gong_Oops @shen-gong-oopsâ
Summary: For their wedding, Roan gifted him an antique skeleton key attached to a thin, leather cord. Rough, callous fingertips grazed the base of his neck as they secured the necklace in place. While his husband allowed him full reign of the tower, the key provided access to the only room he barred Bellamy from entering. He was never to set foot in the sole room on the highest floor. Into Roanâs private reprieve from the world. And to be fair, Bellamy respected Roanâs right to privacy - for a while.
Gunning for Glory (Rated T) [Bellamy x Gina] by teeandrainbows @teeandsnowflakesâ
Summary: While on a routine mission for Kane, Bellamy comes across a mystery girl who points him towards a treasure trove that might prove useful for Arkadia, but danger lurks up every spiraling staircase. It may just be the distraction he needs, though, to get over Clarke leaving.
On the Ground and What Bellamy Found There (Rated G) [General] by elle_stone @kinetic-elaborationâ
Summary: Bellamy has a prophetic dream. An Alice in Wonderland AU.
to dream about a life (where youâre the shining star) (Rated T) [Bellamy x Murphy] by ProbablyVoldemort @probably-voldemortâ
Summary: Bellamy has been dreaming about going to the coalitionâs annual Camp Rock since he was a kid. The chance to escape his life and his step-father and spend his days travelling between clans and singing. This year, he finally has a chance to goâas a chef. Murphy hated what came of Clarkeâs treaty with the Grounders, but even he knew it couldâve been worse. But that didnât mean he wanted to spend his time performing for the people who had kidnapped and tortured him. He could do it, though. He could sing at whatever the fuck Camp Rock was, and he could help pick whichever winner the Grounders wanted him to pick. He could play nice. That didnât mean he had to like it.
Thereâs Gonna Be a Party When the Wolf Comes Home (Rated T) [General] by kuklash @kuklashâ
Summary: âDante?â she asks, her voice a mixture of confusion and surprise. Bellamy straightens the nameplate on his desk, and the gold plaque reflects the dim fluorescent lights above him.

Brother Knows Best (Rated G) [Bellamy & Octavia] by Dylanobrienisbatman @dylanobrienisbatmanâ
Summary: Octavia grew up in a cave, hidden from the world, with only her brother to care for her. He kept her safe, safe from a world where people like her, where nightbloods, were hunted and slaughtered. But even with so much danger, she longs to see the world, so when a handsome stranger stumbles into their cave, she makes her escape to spend one night out under the stars. But in just one night, she begins to wonder if everything sheâd grown up believing was true after all.
seeds in silence (exploded in riot) (Rated T) [Bellamy & Clarke] by justbecauseyoubelievesomething @justbecauseyoubelievesomethingÂ
Summary: Seeds. Not the modified seeds Farm Station constantly churns out in unending batches. Genuine seeds. Earth seeds. The kind of seeds that the scientists from Alpha will sell their souls for. Doctor Griffin talks a lot about genetics and lost patterns, but Bellamyâs mind is a million miles away. He can get anything he wants for Octavia and his mom. He can make it so Octavia doesnât have to live in hiding. He can bring the chancellor himself to his knees, if heâs careful enough.
iâve got a heart in me (i swear) (Rating T) [Bellamy x Murphy] by hopskipaway @hopskipawayâ
Summary: Belonging was not a familiar word in the Book of John Murphy. That was a fact that seemed grounded in concrete; what he wouldnât give to stumble upon a sledgehammer someday and be reunited with his bruised and feeble, but still beating, heart.
2199 Nights (Rated M) [Bellamy x Clarke] by Mobi_On_A_Mission @mobi-on-a-missionâ

Bellamy Blake, the latest to be taken into the Commander of Deathâs chambers, will try to save his life by weaving a succession of tales to the woman that lasts for one thousand and one nights.
How to Kill a Two-Headed Turkey (Rated T) [Bellamy & Octavia] by vmreed @vmreedâ
Summary: After everyone at camp collapses from a mysterious illness (thanks Murphy), Bellamy and Octavia are sent to hunt enough food for 100 sick teenagers. When they find themselves lost, far from camp, what else can they do but move forward? Thankfully, a kind woman took them in, but all is not as it seems. Anyaâs been waiting to meet these SkaikruâŠ
simmer, simmer, simmer (Rated M) [Bellamy x Clarke] by Pawprinter @pawprinterfanficâ
Summary: When Sanctum falls to starvation, it is up to Bellamy and Clarke to find a solution. They arenât prepared for the horrors beyond the Sanctum barrier.
So Familiar a Gleam (Rated T) [Bellamy x Clarke, Bellamy & Octavia] by Anonymous
Summary: When the dropship first lands, Bellamy is hopeful. It doesn't last. After all, the humans who were left behind, they've been on there own for a while. Things have changed. (Maleficent meets The 100 meets the author's glaring ignorance about either franchise.)
âââ
Round 1
Character Focus: Harper McIntyre
Theme: Angst
Tropes:
Strangers to Lovers
Road Trip AU
into a cloven pine (Rated T) [Harper/Maya] by justbecauseyoubelievesomething @justbecauseyoubelievesomething
Summary: Maya starts sitting with her at meals, shrugging aside the judgmental looks of delinquents and Mountain Men alike. When Harper tries to delicately suggest that she sit somewhere else for her own good, Maya levels her with an icy glare and threatens to kick her under the table. For some reason, that makes Harper giggle and she figures that someone who makes her giggle must be alright to sit with. So, she ignores Millerâs warning head shakes and Foxâs teary-eyed frowns and she plays footsie with Maya Vie. Life is weird. She might as well just go with it.
I Need You (Like I Need a Gaping Head Wound) (Rated T) [Harper/Echo] *Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death* by kuklash @kuklashâ
Summary: âAnd that was the new track from Lou Bega: âMambo No. 5â off his new album âA Little Bit of Mamboâ. Stay tuned for Backstreet, Britney Spears, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers cominâ atâcha in the next hour.â Harper shuts off the radio and leans back in the driverâs seat, taking her hands off the wheel and rubbing her temples. Traffic is worse than normal today, meaning sheâs gonna be late. Sheâs already 45 minutes late getting back from lunch, meaning that Roan will probably call her into his office. Thatâs the last thing she needs today. Harper nearly jumps out of her skin when the passenger door opens and a tall, brunette woman vaults into the car. âWHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU Dââ âDrive,â the woman says, voice barely above a whisper.
venus, planet of love was destroyed by global warming (Rated G) [Harper/Monty] by safeandsound13 @captaindaddykruâ

you can bloom again (Rated T) [Harper/Clarke] by sapphictomaz @iexasheartâ
Summary: Harperâs always been a survivor. Sheâs survived an orphaned childhood, kidnapping, and torture. When a wave of fire stretches across the sky, she knows that sheâll survive this, too - but when she meets a girl with a smile brighter than the sun, Harper wonders if surviving alone is what she really wants.
The Hardest Thing (Rated T) [Harper/Emori] by Mobi_On_A_Mission @mobi-on-a-missionâ
Summary: After shooting Baylis and escaping to the woods, Emori was utterly alone. She travelled through the lands of the Coalition, stealing from anyone and everyone. All of that changed when she met the last sky girl after the Mountain Men wiped out the rest of her people. Harper had a map to a peaceful village across the sea, and Emori had nothing to lose.
Release (Rated T) [Harper/Murphy] by elle_stone @kinetic-elaborationâ
Summary: Her whole body is still tense, but this long habit of distrust has been formed in her, is not native to her, and his lazy, laconic air tempts her to put herself at ease. And she is curious. Behind them, the Detention Center is teeming, yet the desolation of the dim light and barren highway makes Harper feel as if they were the only two on the wide Earth. Upon being released from the Arkadia Juvenile Detention Center, Harper takes a road trip to California with an old friend, his boyfriend, and another recently released delinquent.
What the Hell is a Pulmonary Embolism? (Rated T) [Harper & Clarke/Murphy] by vmreed @vmreedâ
Summary: Harper McIntyre wasnât trained for this. She was just a tour guide, how was she supposed to deal with the bus crashing in the middle of nowhere?
something more than momentary (Rated T) [Harper/Murphy] by ProbablyVoldemort @probably-voldemortâ
Summary: The first rule of working for the Princess Protection Program was, well, keep your princess safe no matter the cost. The second rule was donât get attached.

and the road gets tough (Rated M) [Harper/Monty] by she-who-the-river-could-not-holdâ @she-who-the-river-could-not-hold
Summary: Itâs the end of the world and Harper McIntyre is done running. Sheâs done fighting against a life that relentlessly keeps pushing her down. But she has her son to worry about and she desperately wants him to have a new life and to experience it all. When they hit the road, sheâs helped by a kind stranger who changes the course of things. Monty Green represents a life she wished she had been able to have, but it might still be too late.
everyoneâs a different flower (Rated T) [Harper/Monty] by andthelightbulbclicks @andthelightbulbclicksâ
Summary: Harper McIntyreâs life on Earth has been a simple one, and sheâs always been happy with that. But with a single diagnosis, her simple life is completely upended. Her best friends think that an intergalactic trip across the universe is just what she needs to get her mind off of things. Raven thinks the change in scenery will do Harper some good. Clarke thinks the girl time will help. (Harper thinks the cute space-botanist she meets might just do the trick.)
I wanna shoot the whole day down (Rated T) [Harper/Monty] *Major Character Death* by hopskipaway @hopskipawayâ
Summary: Tell me why I donât like Mondays...Or Tuesdays, or Wednesdays, or any day since you left us.
Never Gonna Give You Up (Rated T) [Harper/Raven] by Shen_Gong_Oops @shen-gong-oopsâ
Summary: Unknown: Hey, Monty guilted me into a road trip with those damned puppy dog eyes and seeing as neither of you can be in the same car, I am your road trip Uber. Nameâs Raven. Harper: Rookie mistake, you never look Monty in the eyes. Thatâs how you lose. A road trip, huh?

Both (Rated T) [Harper/Monty] by the-most-beautiful-broom @the-most-beautiful-broomâ
Summary: âEmori doesnât understand why Iâd want to go back up.â Their backs are against the wicker, just waiting now, as the balloon floats downward. âEmoriâs my sister,â Harper clarifies. âShe thinks I should be scared, and just leave it behind. But if I left, if I never went up again, then everything Iâve lost would be for nothing.â It hovers in the air, like the snow, like a balloon. âAll my life,â Monty says, âIâve found certainty in science. In numbers, quantifying things. But...this has shown me. You have, I mean. Thereâs a beauty in the most barren of science, and my equipment and notes cannot account for it. And I thought it was science, logic, before, but now I see: the only person that couldâve taken me to the stars was you.â {a marper Aeronauts AU based heavily off the 2019 movie}
âââ

Partners In Crime
Bed Sharing
poison but tasty (Rated M) [Murphy & Josephine, Murphy/Emori] by safeandsound13 @captaindaddykruâ
Summary: In a world where genetics and individual resilience decide who gets to procreate and who doesnât, babies are a rare breed. Thatâs why Murphy gets the lucrative idea to steal one, and sell it. In comes Josie, who kind of, sort of? Maybe? Has the same idea? He figures, what the hell. Might as well combine their efforts and split the profits. or, Two Psychopaths and a Baby.
even heroes have the right to dream (Rated M) [Muprhy/Emori] by justbecauseyoubelievesomething @justbecauseyoubelievesomething
Summary: He doesnât deal with people one-on-one anymore. He works his shift at the factory. He comes home. Takes his pills. Drinks himself to sleep. He doesnât go on road trips. Or smuggle little girls under the cover of darkness. Or make small talk with his ex.
donât mess with the flow, oh no (stick to the status quo) (Rated T) [Murphy/Clarke] by ProbablyVoldemort @probably-voldemortâ
Summary: Harper and Monty tried out for the spring musical, and now everything is going to shit. Jocks think they can bake. Nerds think they can dance. Stoners think they can play cello. And Harper and Monty, Jock and Nerd respectively, think they can get callbacks for Murphyâs part. This is not what he wants. This is not what he planned. And, heâs just gotta say, he does not understand.
Good to be Back (Rated G) [Murphy/Emori] by the-most-beautiful-broom @the-most-beautiful-broomâ

Summary: Her name is Raven Reyes. She was bitten by a radioactive spider her senior year of college; for the last two years, sheâs been the one and only Spider-Woman. She joined a band, saved her dad, couldnât save her best friend, so now she saves everyone else. She doesnât really do the friends thing, not since her last best friend was turned into a giant lizard and she had to kill him, but things are mostly fine, going solo. Until a kaleidoscope opens in the ceiling. Sheâs suddenly in Times Square, but itâs not, itâs like some Other Times Square. Thereâs a billboard for Cocoa Kola (what even?) and thereâs a Spider-Man (typical) here, and on the Other Times Square screens, she watches Zeke die again, this time as Spider-Man. // or a zaven!into the spiderverse AU
the color of truth is gray (Rated T) [Raven/Murphy] by andthelightbulbclicks @andthelightbulbclicksâ
Summary: Ravenâs firm beliefs on super villains have held true for as long as she can remember. And she prides herself in being a part of the Spacekru team, protecting their territory in Polis and bringing those villains to justice. But slowly, she comes to realize that maybe their super-powered world isnât as black and white as sheâs always chosen to believe. And maybe a certain villain isnât really a villain at all. (Or: Three times Raven fights a villain, and one time she saves him.)
And It May Sound Absurd, But Don't Be Naive (Rated T) [Raven/Zeke] by AnonymousÂ
Summary: "Yeah, well, if life were to suddenly get fair, I doubt it would happen in high school." A Sky High AU where Raven just wants to sit there and do her Mad Science homework in peace, but life has a funny habit of removing that as an option.

Tag Game
Itâs time to love yourself!Â
Chose your 5 favourite works you created in the past year and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2019. Tag as many writers/artists as you want so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!
I was tagged by @flamoria and @roxi4, thanks! Iâm assuming this is gonna be the past year, as in June 2019-now? I donât even have 5 works so Iâm gonna include one from early 2019. In no particular order...Â
1) Forest of Twilight. Started in 2018 but itâs what Iâve spend most of my time writing the past year. This is my ultimate fic and has just about absorbed my entire being. In the past two years, there havenât been many days where I didnât at least open this document (even if I didnât write anything). Kinda feel like this is the hill Iâll die on. It was my first time writing omegaverse, and I remember when I first started this story, I was so excited that I sat down and wrote the first chapter in a few hours. Iâve come a long way since then and this fic now even closer to my heart. I love my mothlings.Â
2) Heâs no Houdini. Best smut Iâve written this year. My first attempt at canonverse. I quite enjoyed it and will definitely write some more (watch this space). 3DGM smut is good smut.Â
3) Strictly Professional. Probably my favourite one shot so far. It was a gift for a close friend of mine and I really enjoyed the world building. It has a decent amount of plot for a smutty one shot and Doctor Ackerman is just... yes. yes please. I would love to continue this one day.Â
4) Fragile Minds. My second omegaverse fic with a fun twist. I enjoy exploring this world and the moral greyness of it all, the fine line that runs between justice and revenge, and how âan eye for an eyeâ ultimately just fucks everyone over and can turn the oppressed into the oppressors. Iâm pretty slow writing this but WEâLL GET THERE.
5) The Day Snow Fell. Iâm putting this here because I have nothing else, but I did enjoy writing it (I donât think âenjoyâ is the right word but whatever). This was basically my excuse to write extra as fuck descriptions, as all the good ones I come up with tend to have sad and/or dark vibes. First time writing MCD and I gotta say, writing it as a lot easier than reading it.Â
Tagging whoever. @choulatte @flyueri @lankylevi @yaboylevi And anyone else who wants to do this can say that I tagged you â„

Twi YouTube AU?? đ
dlgjk ok i dont have a coherent au idea i just like the idea of like.Â
alec being this confident youtuber man who does all sorts of shit, like funny vlogs and maybe some sketches with his siblings or some lets plays or something, idk, heâs just a popular youtuber like, idk, fuckin markiplier or something, you know, kinda does a lot of stuff. maybe some fashion/interior design shit? idk? but like. heâs pretty popular and if thereâs any list on tumblr thatâs like âsome queer creators you should try watchingâ heâs always up there because heâs pretty open about being gay. maybe at first he wasnât in the earlier youtube days but he had a pretty emotional coming out video and everyone was like âholy shitâÂ
meanwhile magnus is like, a quietly popular youtuber, you know? kind of a niche audience, but with decent numbers. he does a lot of things, like vlogs about being trans. like, oh my god. magnus documenting his transition? would that even be a thing? wait oh my god is this mundane au, or is this canon? because twi magnus whoâs actually a warlock with a youtube channel would be hilarious but maybe not a good idea. you know what? how about a mix. heâs mortal and was born in modern times and all, heâs like the same age as alecâidk why but iâm thinking heâs like a few weeks older or a month or two older than alec and alec jokingly teases him about being oldâbut he likeâŠ. still has magic, because why the fuck not. actually, you know what? fuck it? itâs an au where magic is just openly a thing. not even necessarily canonverse magic, just. some people have magic. magnus does little tutorials and shit, he has a real talent for it and heâs actually really powerful but he hides that. (possible plotline: some paparazzi discover heâs like, a level ten mage, and itâs a scale from 1-10 and 8 is the most powerful u get most of the time, thereâs been a few really famous 9s and thereâs been one 10 ever and that was fucking merlin. you feel. because why not. idek fuck.) anyway he has little diy make your own magical charms and weaving enchantment and safe summoning circles and tips for writing magical contracts and shit like that. heâs this cute little nerd but heâs like incredibly knowledgeable and he knows how to teach it in a way thatâs understandable and accessible? and he answers questions in really clear ways, and he does amazing demonstrations that look so cool people accuse him of editing but heâs just That Good. and heâs like, actually a really well-published wizard/magic scientist, he invented the fucking portal, but probably under a pseudonym because he doesnât really want the attention. (his last name is fell in honor of his mentor. yes. although if he does multiple ones he may or may not also use loss, santiago, rollins, etc.) anyway heâs just so fucking good, he has all these videos explaining magical theory in pretty easy to understand ways (maybe going from really simple to like âi understand the basics here and am ready for the technical terms but need an overviewâ videos you know.Â
also he doesnât just do magic videos, because i said so. also maybe some blogs, and like. because i want to. some fashion/makeup tips. and itâs weirdly endearing because itâs not something youâd expect since he doesnât wear makeup that oftenâalthough a) there are def gifsets of his full makeup looks on tumblr, and b) when he does occasionally decide to wear lipstick or eyeshadow or whatever, most of his fans are like omg yes!! u look cute! also headcanon: twi magnus wears less makeup in general but he still indulges in nail polish. mostly dark/muted colors on his fingers, but bright silly colors on his toes. NAYWAYWYA
also magnus bane is his chosen name because he wanted something cool and wizardy sounding and undeniably masculine.Â
also heâs so fucking sweet like look his videos are pretty popular because theyâre just handy but heâs not exactly like, a super popular celebrity or anything, you know? but when he does meet fans heâs so incredibly sweet and he does selfies and heâs very appreciative of his followers? heâs so genuine?Â
and alec is way more popularânot that heâs not kind and appreciative of his followers. itâs just the thing is, magnus and alec are totally opposite sides of youtube. alec is friendly charismatic completely non-magical youtuber, he plays video games with his sister and like, does vlogs and reaction videos and shit you know. magnus is out here with educational tutorials and excited rambles about magical theory. (i feel like sometimes he accidentally starts doing groundbreaking research for a video and forgets to like, publish it first, and people are like wait what the fuck holy shit)Â
but then they fucking meet.Â
and a) theyâre Instantly smitten. b) this will eventually result in the weirdest collab ever.Â
like NO ONE would expect magnus bane, tarot reader and tutorial on magic diy and shit, occasionally does makeup videos and little vlogs and talks about Issues sometimes, to collab with typical hot vlogger gamer man alec lightwood. but it happens, and somehow itâs the best fucking thing ever.
iâm not sure how their channels collide. maybe alec plays a game involving magic and magnus talks about all the ways itâs right/wrong but it ends up just being bantering and giggling and magnus may or may not end up leaning into him on the couch their sitting on and giggling as he makes a stupid joke with the character in the game and immediately everyoneâs likeâŠâŠ we ship it
not that i support irl shipping but u know how it goes, everyones like âdamn theyâre cuteâ and theyâre both openly queer so thereâs that. i mean, still not cool, but you know
but really tho they keep doing collabs after that and become actual friends and both start kind ofâŠ.. doing things for each otherâs channel? magnus does a thing like âinterview with someone who knows nothing about magicâ and we just see a total mundane take on magic and honestly itâs really interesting for both of them, we have more âmagnus, whoâs an Old Soul and despite having a youtube channel is actually not that great with technology, raphael does all the editing, tries to play video games and kinda fails at it but he gets the hang of some of themâ?? he likes puzzle games and mariokart, he does NOT like super smash bros because âTHE CHARACTER NEVER DOES WHAT I WANT IT TO ALEXANDERâ âyouâre just jealous bc i beat ur assâ âyou wanna play mariokart again, lightwood?!âÂ
magnus does a tarot reading for alec, alec does a vlog with him just like âday in the life of alec lol :Pâ and thereâs moments where he just comes up behind magnus like âhey whatâs upâ and magnus, whoâs in rumpled home clothing, sees the camera and chuckles and kinda half heartedly waves it away, and the audience loses their mind at how cute he looks lkdhjgfh
they just become actual good friends, you know? itâs weird bc you wouldnât think it would work but it really, really does
also on of alecâs fans at some point tries to make a transphobic crack at magnus during a livestream and alec goes OFF on his ass and itâs trending for the next week, the clip goes viral, itâs like âHIMBO GOES OFF ON HATERS FOR BEING TRANSPHOBIC TO HIS FRIEND/POSSIBLE LOVER?â and alec apologizes to magnus for all the attention it brought them but magnus is like âitâs okay, we can use thisâ and they end up using the hype to do one of those charity livestreams youtubers do and all the proceeds go to something like mermaids or the trevor project, you feel? theyâre like âsuck it transphobes look at all this money you got trans pplâ khjfgh
ok but eventually they do get together, not on camera, and while itâs slow at first and kind of secret (from the internet, not from friends and family) theyâre also not super subtle. they know theyâre not, but theyâre just sort of like âitâs no oneâs business, weâll announce it when weâre readyâ
and honestly tho they love each other so much
also iâve just decided itâs not uncommon for strong magic-users, even like, level 4 or 5 and up, to have marks, so while his cat eyes are usually glamoured maybe he showed them after a q&a or in a vlog or something? and there are like. lots of gifsets of this, okay, and like, lots of thirst comments. which are like, this weird mix of slightly uncomfortable, really flattering/validating, and embarrassing (in a good and bad way). anyway, magnus has cat eyes in this au, because i fucking said so.
ANYWAY back to their relationship, theyâre in love
how did they meet? maybe at a con they bumped into each other, or a totally random fan was like âyâall should do a collabâ and everyone was like âwhatâ
or maybe a mutual friend and fellow youtuber, meliorn, who is a nonbinary youtuber who fucking has a sword donât question me, introduces them?Â
idk. but when they meet they hit it off instantly and flirt and end up getting coffee and they donât date for a while (maybe mutual pining/misunderstandings like âoh he doesnât like me like that, but itâs okay, we can still be friends :)â or something lkfgjhfgh) but eventually they end up getting together
how? no idea. let me think about it.
idk why but im thinking theyâre filming at magnusâs apartment and theyâre on his couch and just. late night. theyâve finished up filming but theyâre still bantering and maybe playing some video game like mariokart or watching a movie together and just. magnus is leaned all the way into alec, just snuggled up and pressed close against him, alec ends up putting an arm around him, and alec cracks a joke or teases him and magnus sits up a bit to like, poke his chest or flick his nose (you know what i mean? like in an otp person a shifts, still kinda sitting in their lap, and is like [playfully hits shoulder or boops nose or something] and now theyâre making eye contact and person b ends up pulling them into a soft kiss???) anyway THEY MAKE EYE CONTACT AND ALEC PULLS HIM INTO A SOFT KISS and alec almost pulls away when he realizes what heâs done but magnus makes this soft little happy noise and leans into him, kissing back, and they just end up kissing for a bit and when they break apart alec is just looking up at him with breathless wonder and magnus is looking down at him with that same soft reverence and alec blurts out something like âyouâre magicalâ and magnus just loses it and heâs giggling and leaning against alecâs chest and alec starts laughing too and magnus can feel the vibrations in his chest and itâs just so nice and pleasant and wonderful and they may or may not end up making outÂ
they have to talk about it in the morning when they end up falling asleep together in magnusâs bed, cuddled close, but they find, to both of their delights, they both want to date and be in a serious relationship and itâs so fucking good okÂ
they go to dinner and the transition from friendship to romance is a little awkward but so worth it, especially when they realize HEY ITâS BOTH YOU DONT STOP BEING FRIENDS WHEN YOU DATE. i mean like, they didnât not know that, but itâs like, idk how to explain you know theyâre kinda like âare we doing this rightâ and then theyâre like âfuck doing it right we can keep cuddling on the couch and giggling and bantering over stupid shit and watching dumb movies and kicking each others asses in video games it doesnât matter we just also kiss and have dinner more often and sleep together and also we may or may not be in loveâÂ
also theyâre That Couple. theyâre like straight to the honeymoon, theyâre domestic from the first week. magnus is casually doing magic around the house (imagine: he just dyes his hair on a whim and grows it out a little bit and alec is like âi love u no matter how u style ur hair and stuff, and like, ur usual look is so fuckin cute and handsome, but also I Love This.â) but like heâs like (casually summons small ball of light to read book at night) (casually makes alec little protective charmsâside note alec def makes him some of these too, but he asks magnusâs old mentor, ragnor, and two of his friends that can do magic, catarina and dot, to enchant it, since he canât himself, and having magic woven by people who care about him will make it stronger. oh mhyhogfd) and just like. magic used to be something he mostly kept to himself (this def has something to do with his parentsâhis mom, who he thinks killed herself because of his eyes/magic, his birth dad whoâs a powerful sorcererâlevel 9, actually, and they think magnus is level 8 for a long timeâwho was an abusive fuckstick) and then he started doing youtube and it was a kinda show, a gift, something to share, but still not really something he just used openly in front of people he cared about (other than his close friends, since most of them do magic too anyway) but with alec itâs so easy to do that casually?? itâs so easy to just feel comfortable and safe????? yes
anyway they do eventually âcome outâ as boyfriends, maybe something short and sweet like just. a tweet of magnus sleeping curled up on alecâs chest and heâs like âgod i love my boyfriend
they were already not subtle but now that theyâre not hiding it theyâre so fucking blatantly in love tbh. they do one of those boyfriend tag videos and itâs fucking adorable, at high request they do some couples games kind of videos, like the newlywed game and fuck marry kill (mostly on alecâs channel but magnus has a few, too) and itâs just HIGH QUALITY FUCKING CONTENT
also originally i was just thinking something along the lines of âin canon verse, twi alec is instagram famous/famous on social media and he gets cute tarot boyfriend and is like look at my cute boyfriend and then magnusâs small insta account mostly for his business gets a fuck ton of new followers and alecâs gets a considerable amount tooâ and now iâm imagining everyone from their respective audiences first thirst-following the other, then actually getting investedÂ
but really tho theyâre the internetâs hottest couple for a while itâs great
for some reason iâm picturing them doing a live tour now, with like, accessible tickets and magnus does magic live on stage and idek what else theyâd do tbh but itâd be fun as fuck
anyway this au got away from me
me: i dont have any real coherent ideas
also me: [vomits a 2,500+ word ESSAY]Â

You're pretty well known for your excellent Reylo fanfiction. Was it hard getting readers? Do you think trash-fics and one-shot smut fics deserve the same validation as multi-chapter story canonverse fics. As an aspiring writer, it's hard not to get discouraged. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated! đ
Hello dear anon!
Your first line made me blush. Iâm so glad you have heard good things about my fanfics. â€ïž
So, the bad news is that I have to answer positively to your first question : YES, itâs hard.
The good news is that I have tons of tips that can help you. I will share them here so maybe this post can help others that are starting too.
1) My first and formost advice is never write for kudos/attention. This is so important, because you WILL end up disappointed if you do. Of course, finding your public is very important, because it gives you fuel. BUT, you have to write for yourself, you have the share the story you want to write. I have stuck with this since Iâve started writing, and despite some very low moments, I never stopped writing after 260K of Reylo coz I LOVE IT. We have talked a billion time about this with @nite0wl29 âŠ.
2) Write a Storyboard. For multichaptered fics, this is just essential for me. I know some authors here are driven by their Muse ( @perrydowning is amazing for that!) and donât storyboard, and even if I admire them deeply, I still think storyboard is a great tool. It enables you to weave complex stories without losing the thread of thoughts.
3) Find a beta (someone who reviews your grammar and spelling) and an alpha (someone who helps you with content). If possible someone who is good with BOTH. This is essentiel coz having a second eye on your work will help you so much, you have no idea!
4) Be open to criticism. I have literally had my chapters ravaged by my betas (my love goes to @pandoraspocksao3 who is fucking amazing) but I am always very opened to criticism because I am learning. Being open will help you improve a lot. Staying humble is key to improve. I just shut my big mouth and let other who know better than I did guide me and I am so grateful for all their help and advice.
5) Reblog the shit out of your chapter posts on there, I meanâŠlike, just reblog a lot a trash everyone that thinks that self-promoting is garbage, because itâs not.
6) Tag me and your friends in chapter posts, coz it helps the fic move around. My blog policy is really helping ones who start, so donât hesitate to tag me. Also tag @reylofic who is an ANGEL when it comes to helping out.
7) Make Moodboards! Those help a lot to show what you are writing about. Try Canva.com I always use it and itâs really fun to make them!
8) Join a discord like The Reylo Fanfic Club. Contact the amazing @nancylovesreylo . It will enable you to talk about fics, discover new tips, find friends and learn a lot about everything about fic. People help each other a lot on those. Talk to fellow writers about your struggles and happy moments. Donât hesitate to contact the âbig onesâ for advice, they are human beings as you are.
9) Donât hesitate to DM me here, I donât bite and Iâm always willing to help out! â€ïž
10) Never forget that writing is for fun, itâs a hobby, an escape from real life. Enjoy it, have a ball writing, sharing with friends, talking about plots, just ENJOY yourself and tell the stories you like. Whether you believe me or not, that really shows when you write!Â
I really hope this helped! â€ïž Have a BLAST.
