random post of the day

I know that Jim Butcher is mostly famous for The Dresden Files but I really feel like The Codex Alera should get more love. I'm re-reading it and realizing what a formative influence Tavi's character was on how I wrote Stiles in The Sum of its Parts. The 'powerless' character who uses his wits, inspires loyalty, makes allies out of his enemies, and has an uncanny knack for finding the third option.

And, I mean, this:

Tavi bared his teeth in a smile. "But we have something the Vord [an enormous army of insect-like creatures] do not." Varg tilted his head to one side. "What is that?" "Ink."

I'd say this is so TSOIP!Stiles-coded, except actually I'm realizing that it was really that when Stiles said things like "You know what would be an exciting development right now? Tax records," and "first we need to go to a kitchen" store it was actually that TSOIP!Stiles was being extremely Tavi-coded

Happy anniversary to my fic, Seasons 🧡

Can't believe it's been a year already. Still very fond of this fic and grateful to all who took the time to read it. Really glad I got to share it with the world, here's to many more years of GhostSoap <3

"How many fics are in your ao3 history" this and "what's your most read fic" that. Listen. Listen to me. I don't go into my ao3 history. Whatever is there is between the archive and god and it is quite frankly none of my business what past me decided to open.

Everyone is drawing Leo’s mental breakdown so I wanted to draw him lovin’ on Banana.

Poor guy is traumatized but it’s okay cause puppies heal everything, right? Right?

For @remedyturtles firefight au

[missmisnomer]

time keeps moving on

whether you want it to or not

@remedyturtles absolutely killing it with the latest chapters of their firefight fic. The last third of ch.37 was so fuckin eerie and tense and visually rich that I couldn't NOT make some art inspired by it. I've been hankering to draw something more experimental and dark lately, and this really scratched that itch!

Thanks for The Horrors™, Rem!

i described the plot of firefight to my best friend and they sent me this. thanks buddy.

surprise

pairing: oscar piastri/gn!reader

summary: You’re exhausted from exams and papers, the stress of your assignments weighing down on you and making you crave the presence of your boyfriend more than usual. You just wish you could hug him.

rating: general

a/n: for Lee, @scuderiahoney I tried to send this as an ask but tumblr at it and now here we are, rewritten this three times and it grew. I hope you like it and your days are looking up!

You get why Oscar moved to Monaco and have definitely benefited from it already. But weeks like this, where he isn’t needed at the MTC and is staying in Monaco for the better weather and to help meet his residency requirement, are hard.

You’re exhausted from exams and papers, the stress of your assignments weighing down on you and making you crave the presence of your boyfriend more than usual. You just wish you could hug him.

A sigh escapes your lips as you drop your head to your desk, eyes flitting up to the calendar hanging on your wall. You focus in on the date circled for next week, “osc❤️” written on it. There’s too many days separating you from it right now, but you hold onto the hope that you will see him soon and things will get better.

You shut your eyes as another sigh escapes you. Five minutes, you think to yourself, five minutes and then back to work.

Not even two minutes into your quasi-meditation, a knock on your door startles you into an upright position. Frowning, you grab your phone and tap the screen, seeing if anyone texted you they were coming over. It’s blank. Your brow furrows further, thinking back to if you ordered any takeaway even though you know you haven’t.

Whoever’s outside knocks again and you stand up, cautiously moving towards the door. Logically, you know anyone interested in robbing you wouldn’t knock but you run through self-defense maneuvers anyway as you open the door.

All thoughts fly out of your head as you try to process what you’re seeing. Oscar. Here. At your flat. Not in Monaco. Holding…flowers?

You turn your head to side, mouth opening and closing as you try to speak. Oscar is here. Not in Monaco. Here.

“Wh-what are you doing here?”

“Saw your schedule on the shared calendar. Knew you weren’t texting much. Figured it was a lot all at once and you might be stressed so. Figured I’d surprise you.”

Your face crumples, tears filling your eyes as you launch yourself at him.

“Hey, hey, it’s alright,” he says as he winds his arms around you. “I’ve got you, I’m here.”

“Thank you for being here,” you whisper, tucking your face into his neck. “I really needed this.”

You feel his smile from where he’s pressed his lips against your temple. He squeezes you before pulling back, ducking his head to meet your eyes. “Glad I could deliver on the surprise then. Why don’t we go inside and cuddle, and then tackle your assignments, yeah?” he says and you nod. “I am at your service as a study buddy and stress reliever.”

You let out a laugh and smile up at him, leaning in to give him a kiss. “Best surprise ever.”

thinking about the early days and how quiet edwin probably was yes he kept charles company while dying but he wasnt ready to have him by his side and hes just not use to it so you have him wandering somewhere without telling charles he doesnt share more than he did that night he listens to charles endless rambling and stories but never joins in the conversation really but it is a comfort to have

and charles notices after a bit edwin is not cruel or purposly leaving him out if this guy really escaped hell hes probably been alone this whole time. But he does think edwins likes hearing him he never tells him to be quiet or acts uninterested he hums a response sometimes or nods his head but unless its a question he doesnt really talk so charles starts slowly integrating things into his stories to ask edwin if hes heard of this or done that starts asking edwin questions of just random stuff thinking hes coming off as quizzically but edwin catches on and its nice... actually to have someone who wants to see and hear you who doesnt think your off or boring

It leads to one night as they are sitting on the roof of a place they both agree could be an office and home that while sitting on the edge sitting shoulder to shoulder edwin not so subtly decides hes going to open up and so he tells charles that then sitting like this reminds of a time he was sitting on the porch as a child with the family dog

charles makes a jab about edwin basically callin him a dog and edwin has to stumble over himself trying to fix what he thinks was a wrong thing to say that its not the dog part really what he was trying to say and charles just laughs bumping edwins shoulder hes just messing with him edwin smiles a little and charles wants to see more of it he kicks his legs and tilts his head towards edwin and asks the name of the dog which leads to edwin talking more than he has in years and charles cant ge enough of hearing edwins voice

trying to write fengqing from either POV is funny bc mu qing will not, under torture, admit that he finds feng xin hot. feng xin readily finds mu qing attractive he just doesn’t see why that matters in the grand scheme of anything in his epic beef with this guy. or whatever they have going on in their relationship at any given point. they are simultaneously a hairs breadth away from fucking and yet fully capable of perpetuating an eternity of bitchlessness. ridiculous. i’m gonna make them cry.

Does anyone have any fic recs that have genderbent yuri poolverine please pretty please?

Maybe I'm just shit at searching, but I cannot for the life of me find any wlw poolverine on ao3 except my own fic, and I just KNOW that cannot be the only one, it's statistically impossible. No way there's so much gorgeous butch wolverine and sapphic deadclaws fanart out here and somehow not more fic. They're rotting my brain and I need to be fed, PLEASE!!

(Speaking of fanart, I can't talk about this without mentioning artists @eepy-bells @mountainshroom @hansoeii and @yuis-art - their art of butcherine and yuri poolverine is single-handedly keeping me alive and I keep revisiting it, I'm so obsessed. I haven't words for how much I love their art)

[hangmanbradshaw]

Need to finish my WIPs but the discord is genius today and now I’m stuck on boxer!bradley and ballerina!jake in a gritty underground vs prim and proper uptight studio setting while Jake helps Bradley loosen up from injury (it developed into a plot so fast)

[gingersnapwolves]

love it when I get a long, detailed rant about characterization choices on a fanfic I wrote in 2014, which was *checks notes* a decade ago. like, even if you're right about everything, what do you expect me to do about it now???

[stinglesswasp]

Opening scene of my fic, Seasons ❄

Action, banter, and tactical cuddling… a GhostSoap trifecta if you ask me 💥

[randyzorra]

Gotta advert my fic rq cause the man finally showed up lmao (as of making this post, said fic is still in progress)

[wildlavendermoon]

Hiiiiiii! I hope you’re doing well,still writing some fics but I was on a break enjoying my summer but also trying my best with my mental health issues. I didn’t want to force myself writing and publishing something that I hate like the last time, I will write fics with Ethan Landry like always but also with Spencer Reid (I’m obsessed with Matthew gray gubbler I confess) but also Peter Parker (Tom and Andrew my loves),Steve Harrington,some others actors/characters.

And I will write some sapphics fics, I have some ideas. I will write some cute fics obviously very fluffy but also more darker fics/horror because I love this genre.

Anyways have a great summer (not like mine😀)

I will post very soon 🤍🪻🧚🏼‍♀️
