A combined rec list for July & August ❤️

Before This, After That by @orchidscript (book-verse)

@dot524: Henry has a serious horse-riding injury and is in a downward spiral with his recovery until Therapist Alex pulls him out of it. I liked the sharp-edges interaction between them as they fall for each other. I actually read this one a while ago and it was just as good as a reread!

The darkest part of the forest by @everwitch-magiks (book-verse)

@suseagull04: I've loved this entire series, but this was my favorite by far so far! The way the author does world building in her fics is incomparable, even in a fic this short! I would love if she decided to make this a multichapter someday!

Count The Stars and Constellations by @everwitch-magiks (book-verse)

@suseagull04: I've said it once already this month, but it bears repeating: the way the author does world building in her fics is absolutely phenomenal! This one's an outer space saga for the ages, plus it's a multichapter, so we get to see Alex and Henry fall in love over the span of several years, and it's a bit angsty, but absolutely worth it!

An Exquisite Temptation by @tinyarmedtrex (book-verse)

@na-dineee: Henry became a Catholic priest to escape his homophobic family. Never did he expect to meet a stunningly attractive and equally charming, mouthy Texan who would seriously challenge his devout faith. Y'all can guess where this is headed, right? Delicious in so many ways: emotional, full of ‘80s vibes, angsty, smutty—an absolute masterpiece! Chef’s kiss!

How to get over Henry Fox: A list by dazedandconfused (book-verse)

@na-dineee: This AU is set in 2002, and Alex breaks up with the love of his life Henry. Even though it's clear they’d only be apart for a year, the story is still so gut-wrenching. The hurt and angst really got to me—reading that fic is a challenge, but it's absolutely worth it.

late night devil (put your hands on me) by @nine-butterflies (book-verse)

@suseagull04: The way this author took a 4 chapter fic and gave the world so much history and lore is absolutely incredible! Plus there are so many moments of Alex and Henry's relationship that're reminiscent of the book. Everything about this fic is amazing- and it's also definitely a good fic if you're looking for something for Halloween when it arrives soon!

right there beside him (all summer long) by @theprinceandagcd (book-verse)

@daisymae-12: The winter in Australia had me craving a story with summer vibes and this fic was perfect for that. Loved everything about this fic!!

Interrupted (series) by RadioFriday (book-verse)

@dot524: Henry is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, just like his dad was. This story follows him and Alex through their painful journey, including the end of it and beyond. Read this if you’re in the mood to have your heart broken, over and over.

the very essence of love by dollarstoreannabethchase (book-verse)

@suseagull04: It's RWRB, but from Henry's POV. The angst of the original is heightened in this (believe it or not, it can be done), but that makes the ending that much sweeter, and I loved the insight into Henry's thoughts!

somewhere in your world by @callmevenji (book-verse)

@na-dineee: Prince Henry, student at Oxford, tries to reach a hook-up gone wrong – and ends up texting someone else entirely: Alex. A deep chat friendship unfolds, while simultaneously Henry begins to fall for the charismatic FSOTUS. Whether it’s the universe at work, coincidence, or fate, the pleasure of reading this heartfelt fic is indescribably beautiful !!

In the Grand Scheme of Things by @itsmaybitheway (book/movie-verse)

@suseagull04: Meet cute at a wedding, instant attraction, intellectual banter- this fic has it all! Plus this is the best AU characterization of firstprince I've seen in a while, it's fantastic!

marked by rizcriz (book/movie-verse)

@zwiazdziarka: a soulmate AU with some extra drama - Henry learns that the reason he hasn't met his soulmate was his grandmother's plotting. Extremely well executed - my heart was breaking and then singing when it all turned out well.

Someday Soon I’ll See You (But Now You’re Out of Sight) by MaryaDmitrievnaLikesSundays (book-verse)

@dot524: In the mood for some intense angst? I needed like two business days to recover from reading this one. The story is a devastating view of complex grief as different characters deal with Alex’s death. I thought that the odd and asynchronous ways the grief manifests for different people was raw, real, and well done.

peace by @raysletters (book-verse)

@suseagull04: This is the Sky High AU I didn't know I needed! I love how this isn't a carbon copy of the movie but uses each character's strengths and weaknesses- and it's also just a very cute magic high school AU, which is just the cherry on top!

Son of a Gun by foux_dogue (book-verse)

@na-dineee: I hope you’ve all read 'It's not a secret' by now? I wasn't aware until it was published, but I needed that follow-up so badly! In this fic, which can be read as a standalone, Alex cuts down his work as a tattoo artist to take care of the kids (good thing Henry is loaded) and inevitably has to deal with the Milton-Saylor Academy Mom Squad. Absolutely wholesome, full of domesticity—just like, excellent!

You Set The Tone by @iboatedhere (book-verse)

@na-dineee: Alex is an emergency room doctor and Henry a pediatrician in the same hospital, and their animosity (read: infatuation) with each other began just as unfortunate as in canon. Their gradual coming together, intertwined with the medical emergencies, is wonderfully crafted. The tension is effortlessly maintained over 70k words, never feeling contrived. I was so moved while reading, it hurt phenomenally good, and I cried more than I have in a long time.

pick your poison babe (im poison either way) by sheWritesToLiveVicariously (book-verse)

@na-dineee: Co-workers to lovers with lots of emotion and a touch of angst—it never gets old, right? This 5+1 story is part of the "little moments that pass us by" series, and like all the stories in it, it's rather short, but full of feeling, very soft, and so touching. I'm already looking forward to hopefully many more fics in this series.

Down In The Valley by @aforgottennymph (book-verse)

@daisymae-12: This Stardew Valley AU was such a lovely read and as an avid stardew valley player, I thoroughly enjoyed all the little easter eggs and references to the game. Even if you’ve never played Stardew, this is still such a sweet and delightful read!!

[bluegarners]

Out of the many fanfics you read on what if Dick Grayson Died suddenly, which one would you say is your favorite?

actually, this may be surprising to you anon since you asked this, i have not ready many, if any, fics where there is a "what if dick grayson died suddenly" scenario. like, thats my guy!! i love putting him through the ringer, but having him dead makes me a little too sad skfdhdsjkfskf

i used to read a lot of talon!dick fics, which i think counts as him dying suddenly. the series that got me into it was Talonverse by RadioFriday- it's been forever since i last revisited, but i recall it being soooo good and such a wonderful worldbuild

radiofriday 05.01

buon venerdì da radiofriday, alla veneranda età che mi porto addosso, per la prima volta ho fatto capodanno senza conto alla rovescia. senza bottiglia in mano. nessuna stellina luminosa da accendere e con cui puntualmente ustionarmi. nessun video a testimonianza della propria sopravvivenza all’anno passato. nessun RAI 1 acceso sul concertone con i messaggi in sovrimpressione delle persone che augurano felice anno al proprio vicino di casa, che spoilerano finali dei film o che imprecano in diretta tv. nessuna telefonata alle 00.01. siamo andati a letto senza cena, sorpresi da un’Andalusia solitamente festaiola che nella notte di San Silvestro si rinchiude nell’intimità delle proprie sale da pranzo. Non so se esiste come proverbio spagnolo, ma se ci fosse, tradotto suonerebbe più o meno: “tutto l’anno con chi vuoi, ma a Capodanno con i tuoi.”   quindi è andata così, non ci siamo quasi nemmeno accorti dell’anno che moriva e di quello che nasceva. è stato strano, ma è stato bello. bello perché in questo modo posso ricordare questo capodanno scegliendo un’istantanea a mio gusto e piacimento, senza nessun vincolo dettato dal ticchettio dell’orologio. allora scelgo questo di momento: saranno state le ventidue e qualcosa. al terzo giro a piedi per questa candid camera di città illuminata come un museo, dove nella notte più lunga tutto è chiuso e sprangato. tre. dove non si trova un pasto nemmeno aspettando al bancone. dove abbiamo cenato con arachidi e olive servite a contorno di due bicchieri di birra e vino. due. dove ci arrendiamo, ci guardiamo e ci scappa da ridere, perchè a noi va bene così. uno. “torniamo in camera?” “torniamo in camera” zero.

✦✧✦WEEKLY FIC RECS.✦✧✦ Round #1

This is something I’ve seen other people in Tumblr do and I’ve always thought is pretty cool! I don’t know if anyone will actually care about my recs, but it’s always nice taking a chance to talk about things you enjoy.

So! A list of fics that I’ve read or reread this week that I liked and why I liked them, based purely on my personal taste!

DC COMICS:

Time (to Protect You) by Blueseabird2:

Status: Finished

What it’s about:

After the entire batfamily dies in the far away future, Dick Grayson and Jhon Constantine cast a spell to go back in time. Damian also goes back in time because of reasons. From then on, the fic is centered around Dick fixing every bad thing that happened to his family the best he can, and accidentally gets the reputation of having an adoption problem on the way.

Things especially good:

I always appreciate when time travel fics acknowledge how traumatic the experience would be, and I really liked how this fic balanced Dick’s happiness at being able to fix things for his family and the fact he’s still grieving the future that wasn’t. I specially liked how it delves on how fucked up it would be to have traumas from experiences you haven’t had yet.

Overall, I liked the story and interactions. The comedic scenes were funny, and the dramatic scenes were dramatic. A fun read!

Criticisms:

Personally, I think many characters are ooc in this story, including Dick himself, but that can be chalked off to how events are different and Dick’s traumas from the future. The comedic scenes, while very funny, are outlandish in places, so it’s a bit of a whiplash to jump from ridiculous comedy to heavy angsty drama and back to comedy. Because of this, the flow of the scenes is a bit off-putting in places, but that’s just personal taste. Overall, not a big deal.

Pairings: John Constantine / Dick Grayson is implied, but isn’t the main focus. The author has another fic on the same verse that focuses more on it, so if you don’t like the pairing it’s easy to ignore it, and if you like it there’s more to read about it!

Warnings: The story delves into the instances of sexual assault Dick’s experienced in the past. There’s no graphic descriptions, but it certainly isn’t glossed over, and it’s dealt with through multiple chapters.

Talonverse by RadioFriday (series)

Status: Ongoing

What it’s about:

Dick is killed by the court of owls and turned into a talon. The series has multiple one-shot fics regarding how the batfamily deals with this, plus how Dick himself is processing things.

Things especially good:

The writing style and descriptions are SO good! I really loved how the emotional states of the characters are conveyed, and how everyone’s pov feels distinct from one another and fitting for each character. Everyone sees and reacts to the situation differently, all the while in ways that feel natural for who they are. Whenever interpersonal conflict happens, it feels realistic and natural, not contrived at all.

I specially specially loved Dick/Talon’s POV, his head is really a mess in this story and that emotional state was conveyed SO well!!

Criticisms:

This story makes me jealous of the author’s creativity and writing style.

Pairings: No romantic pairings.

Warnings: Given the subject matter, the story can get a bit heavy, especially when delving on Dick’s indoctrination by the owls. There are graphic descriptions of violence and a detailed description of Dick’s death. There’s also an instance of implied sexual assault.

  Growing Old With You by LilliputianDuckling (series)

Status: Technically ongoing, but all the fics within are finished and together tell a complete story such that it might as well be considered finished.

What it’s about:

Conner Kent is instead Conner Luthor. He and Tim are childhood best friends, this series tells how this affects their lives as they grow up.

Things especially good:

I love love love love fics where Luthor parents Kon, specially if he’s genuinely a good dad. He’s a very good dad in this one!! I love the family bonds those two have, and it also works as a stark contrast to Tim’s own relationship with his parents. It’s also funny that Luthor is still kinda shady, even though Kon is a straight up superhero, which makes for some fun interactions.

Overall I really like how the relationship is built up to, you really get a sense of how Tim and Connor have been in each other’s lives since forever. The childhood scenes are super fluffy, the teens are angsty and dramatic, and the adulthood is sweet.

Criticisms:

After the two of them become superheroes it kind of falls into a straight up retelling of canon for a bit, which I’m generally speaking not a fan of. If you’ll make an AU, I want to feel the effect of the changes on every aspect of the story, and here are several thousand words where this might as well just be the canon verse. Regardless, it eventually goes back to diverging from canon, and either way this is more of a personal thing than anything else.

Pairings: Tim Drake/ Kon-El

Warnings: As this sort of follows canon up to a point, there’s a moment in which everyone around Tim start falling dead left and right. Most of them come back eventually of course, but in the meantime the story really focuses on the grief he feels, and there are scenes in which it’s clear Tim is becoming suicidal.

  Our capacity for love increases with each person we cross paths with by Iriascend

Status: Finished

What it’s about:

Tim drake is an artificial intelligence created by Batman. After Jason’s death he builds an android body and becomes Robin.

Things especially good:

I like how Tim isn’t a single robot, but rather an AI with a system of several different terminals that can act more or less independently if needed. More of a hivemind than a single, static consciousness. It’s not a take you see often with protagonist AI characters, even though it’s certainly more realistic to how things would be if they  existed.

Overall, I love how you can really feel throughout the story the fact Tim is a program and has no interest on pretending he’s human, this is reflected from how he interacts with others to how he conceptualizes the world to how others see him. The author has some great ideas, and overall it’s a really, really, really fun take.

Criticisms:

This is a “Character is always right and can do no wrong” sort of fic. Tim is always right, everything he does always turns out well, he is incapable of making a mistake and wins every single argument easily. Tim is perfect, beloved by all, and he always knows the right thing to do. At multiple points other characters disagree with Tim and bring really good arguments as to why he’s wrong on what he’s doing, but their concerns are inevitably proved to be a non-issue. There are some places in here where Tim is rather mean to other people! He says some cruel things sometimes! And at the end it’s the other person who apologizes to him for not understanding his brilliant, flawless logic.

Some people really like this kind of story where the protagonist has no real character flaws, but personally I just find it annoying, your milage may vary.

Pairings: Tim Drake/Kon-Eh and Tim Drake/Jason Todd are implied, but never made explicit. The author has a noncanonical continuation focused solely on the ships.

Warnings: No warnings apply.

  MO DAO ZU SHI:

acting on your best behaviour by loosingletters

Status: Finished.

What it’s about:

Au in which Wei Ying is Wen Ruohan’s son. More of an idea than a complete story, it explores a bit of what Wen Ying and Lan Zhan’s relationship would be in this situation.

Things especially good:

I really like the concept! I love how Wen Ying is still clearly the Wei Ying we know and love, but turned darker simply because of a change in his loyalties.

Criticisms:

I want to read more of this and the author is unlikely to expand on this idea.

Pairings: Wei Yin/Lan Zhan

Warnings: No warnings apply.

  THE SCUM VILLAIN’S SELF SALVING SYSTEM:

like real people do by fruitys

Status: Finished

What it’s about:

Shang Qinghua and Mobei-Jun are trapped in a cave. Fuck or die ensues.

Things especially good:

This is so sweet for a fuck or die kind of story! I love how even though Mobei Jun is the one affected by the sex mcguffin Shang Qinghua basically has to beg him to just fuck him already. Overall, I enjoyed how this fic explores SQH and MBJ’s relationship and what they are for one another.

Plus, the sex is hot.

Criticisms: No criticisms.

Pairings: Shang Qinghua/ Mobei Jun

Warnings: This is an explicit sex fic, so you know what you’re getting into.

  CHAINSAWMAN:

 Man is the Breast, Heaven is the Playground by ofoceansandtombstones

Status: Finished

What it’s about:

This is a y/n fic in which y/n romances Makima.

Things especially good:

I have a deep love for y/n style fics where y/n’s personality is so well defined and distinctive it makes it literally impossible to project yourself onto the story, and that’s the case here.

Overall I think the fic makes a good case analyzing what would take for Makima to fall for someone else, the relationship is built nicely and is rather sweet. I liked this.

Criticisms:

It’s never really explained why y/n is not affected by Makima’s powers. This is a nitpick, but still something that I wish had been explored.

Pairings: Makima/Reader

Warnings: The sex scenes aren’t like explicit-explicit, but they’re still there.

[hood-ex]

check out the Talonverse series by RadioFriday on AO3. i think you'll like it!

I’ve read it! I liked how the latest installment of it was written. And I was all 🥺 when Clark was petting Dick’s hair and Dick said, “You aren’t human. But you’re a person.”

“That’s right, Dick.” 😭

buon venerdì da radiofriday, è provato scientificamente che è impossibile farsi il solletico da soli. questo a semplice dimostrazione che, per ridere di gusto, abbiamo bisogno degli altri.

[hood-ex]

hello! i was wondering if you have any angsty fic recommendations, featuring mainly dick? or even some talon recommendations?

I’d check out @the-imaginative-fox for some angst stuff. Elizabeth does a lot of hurt Dick stuff that rolls into the angst realm. I’ll link her AO3 here. 

deep roots (are not reached by the frost) by @fanfictiongreenirises is a good one to hop into. 

Talon fics hmmm. 

Newer one I’ve read recently: Talonverse series by RadioFriday

Older one I read ages ago: behind the fog by CaptainOzone

[cautiousamber]

sure!

Talon's Grasp by lowflyingfruit is like the pinnacle of Talon!Dick fics and I have been chasing that high ever since.

Limbo by RadioFriday is the one I was specifically referring to when I made this post. It seems like it could be the start of a really neat series, but even just the initial one shot gave me some good feels.

Override Two: Family Protocol by zombiesbecrazy gave me depression but it's a really unique take.

Behind the Fog by CaptainOzone is a neat canon divergence fic and despite being just two chapters it still lives in my head rent free.

Shot by fanfictiongreenirises is actually more of a post Talon fic, but that's actually the part I'm far more interested in as a concept.

It might be kinda obvious that my favorite types of Talon fics are the ones that focus heavily on the Recovery aspect. I love the angst but I always need a bit of comfort too.

I am a simple person with simple tastes and every time I refresh the 'Dick Grayson is a Talon' tag to see that a new fic has been posted I go a little bonkers
