Do u have any recommendations for other blogs u like??? Also i've been binging ur blog for the last day 🙂🤤

thank you! i hope you had fun nonnie <3 as for recommendations, i’d recommend you to go through the mutuals tag on my blog!! i’ll add it to this post so it’s easier for you.

however, here are a few specific writers who deserve way more love! my treasure troves of treats, if you will.

@yandere-yearnings / dar needs a million more people to pester them about sun! if you like subversive power dynamics where darling has more autonomy and personality, you’ll enjoy her stuff. seriously some of the most stunning writing i’ve read which depicts the violence of obsession with so much grace. she’s on hiatus rn, so leave a nice comment or two for her to come back to ;)

@urprettylildoe / her writing is cloyingly sweet and so fluffy and despite having the prettiest blog layout, don’t be fooled; the characters she creates are not as soft. reading her work feels like putting on rose tinted glasses, to see something destructive and dangerous as warm and inviting. you know it’s going to be bad, but you can’t help but keep hoping you’re going to be wrong just this once. i can’t wait to see where she takes us next <3

@mysticalcrowntyrant / their writing is so good that you feel like you’re reading a traditionally published novel, or a 700k fic on ao3. iykyk ;) the characterisation is distinct and interesting, and this is genuinely the sort of writing you’d expect to pay to read. i’m really excited to read what they write next!

@needleanddead / pip is a fantastic writer! i’ve read through his entire masterlist three times and i check the lucas tag daily for any updates on my old man. he has such a diverse collection of characters that you’re bound to stumble upon someone that you’ll like. if you’re tired of reading the same thing over and over again in the yandere community, this is the blog you want to check out!

"Touch starved"

I have been reading "Beyond repair" by @manofthepipis and it's really freaking good!! Seriously go read it! :D it's been making me so damn emotional tho so I made some comfort art.

I wanna draw fanart for the fic so bad! AAAAAGH I have so many deltarune sketches that I just need to finish!!

[buddygrouse]

spamtenna creatures

bonus:

[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!

You know when you read a fanfic that makes you feel the most insane you've ever been?

Yeah, that's what this fic feels like to me

ALKJFLGSDG

"there is a light that never goes out" by @heideez grabbed me by the shoulders and said,

"What if two extremely mentally ill individuals fell in love in the most toxic way possible? Wouldn't that be fucked up?"

And then hit me with a brick multiple times for 22 chapters. So with the final chapter releasing soon, what better way to celebrate that with some fanart!

Fair warning for those interested in reading it: BIG CW for manipulation of all kinds, sexual content, unhealthy/toxic relationships, mental and physical abuse, and like, a lot of other shit

Make sure to read through the tags but that being said,

This fic and the way it portrays Spamton and Tenna make me ill in the best way possible. This is maybe the most I've ever wanted to hit a "spamton" with a stick but at the same time, I can still somewhat sympathize with him by the end. Just a bit. Still want to hit them both with that stick but AUGH agony and torment forever

Oh also here's the image but with the drawings in the background more visible:

Welcome to my new drarry fic rec series, G to E! I’ll be making themed lists featuring four fics, to cover the four main content ratings on AO3. So whether you’re in the mood for G, T, M, or E, hopefully there’ll be something that takes your fancy!

As it’s my birthday in a couple of weeks, fics centred around birthdays seemed an apt way to kick this off. So, here are the fics!

🍰 Divination for Dickheads by orphan_account (G, 6k)

It doesn't actually turn out to be the worst birthday present he's ever been given.

Funny and sweet, this fic does a great job at exploring the introspection that birthdays can bring up. There are also these great little worldbuilding details that really make Harry and Draco’s lives feel lived in. Also, he may not be a main character here, but I have to shout out Ron in this fic. Sweetest friend and best party planner!

🍰 Happy Returns by @toomuchplor (T, 6k)

"I swear to Merlin, if you don't ask him out soon, I'm going to murder you both," says Neville. "I'm going to," Harry says with a confidence he doesn't feel. "I'm just picking my moment." "It's his birthday. This is your moment," says Neville. "Honestly, Harry, grow a pair." In which Harry does grow a pair, and Draco turns forty-four.

Drarry as Hogwarts professors teaching non-typical subjects! Long-term pining! In reading this again I commented that it’s such a warmhearted and fond fic, which I think is the best way I can summarise the depth of feeling it evokes. Just a lovely time.

🍰 Always the Last to Know by @nv-md (M, 10k)

“I’m not napping,” Harry mumbled, his face still pressed to the floor. “I’m thinking.” “Salazar help us,” Draco muttered, walking around Harry’s prone body. Out of the corner of his eye, a bit blurrily, Harry watched as Draco lay beside him. “And what, pray tell, is so difficult to ponder that it requires a lie down?” Harry took a deep breath, very much considered lying, closed his eyes, and said, “Love.”

Drarry as Unspeakables coworkers! Draco and Harry both prove themselves to have a flair for the dramatic in their own ways here, it’s glorious. There’s denial of feelings and obliviousness and top tier banter, plus a birthday gift that has no business being as deeply romantic as it is!

🍰 Draco at Nineteen by birdsofshore (E, 5k)

It's the middle of the night and Harry Potter is sitting on my bed looking distinctly weird. I've had some fucked-up dreams in my time, but this one... this one is something new.

Birthday time travel! It’s birdsofshore, so of course the sex is fantastic, but the Draco POV shines too. He’s a perfect mix of vulnerable, prickly, and hopeful . There’s a twist of angst to this one, but it’s soothed by the knowledge of a happier (and hotter!) future.

Swords pining for each other's cultivator is my new favorite type of pining. Love your NieYao content! <3

I don't suppose we could get Baxia or Hensheng throwing a tantrum while Jin Guangyao / Nie Mingjue are away, leaving their owners to deal with the embarrassing aftermath?

Also, do you have any recs you'd recommend with these two?

this is the exact moment Nie Huaisang realised he was going to have to start meddling in his big brother's love life (con't: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Hensheng, on the other hand, doesn't throw tantrums but WILL sulk...

[amid-fandoms]

phil mentioning he's been reading a lot on the holiday and not giving us any details on what books he's been reading is a crime i'm taking it personally atp

[minisculecolossus]

Has the G/T community heard anything about this? It looks really good!

End of Year Stucky Picks #1

Stucky as a fandom is lucky to have a lot of classics and I rediscovered some old favorites this year!

Title: Malibu

Author: glitteratiglue​​ / @glitteratiglue

Summary:

Steve believes Bucky is dead for exactly a week. Then he doesn't.

(AU where Steve rescues Bucky before Hydra can turn him into the Winter Soldier. They get to go home from the war, but that's only the start.)

—

Part of what fascinates me about Steve and Bucky's story is that there are no possible endings that are entirely happy, not in their original time and not in our own. It's a maddening puzzle. But this story comes close, giving them an earned, authentic ending where they find some peace and each other. The author has a deft touch with period details and the mid-century Californian setting does some effective work here. And, look, let's be honest: I'm a sucker for Steve pining. But I'm even more of a sucker for stories that make both Steve and Bucky complicated, interesting people who, while mutually devoted, have lives outside of the other. - B.

ao3 longer version

31. “Can I kiss you?” + zolu | 1500 words

Zoro’s favorite thing in the world?

Luffy’s smile.

So bright and loud it's a head rush. Luffy’s smile is the most powerful thing in the world. It mends hearts, and rebuilds souls. It’s liquid sunshine in his veins, a bubbling, sparkling burst of adrenaline that has his heart swelling in his chest and his lungs bloom with oxygen. 

Luffy has a lot of different smiles, and Zoro has categorized each one in his mind, with precision and devotion. There's the carefree one. The playful one. The daring one. The dangerous one. The excited one. The relieved one.

And then, there's another. One that's meant for Zoro and Zoro only, one he cherishes with as much care as his swords. A secretive one, shy at the edges, daring and comfortable at its very core.

It’s one of those smiles that tipped him over the edge one day, that blinded him harder than the sun ever could, enough to knock his braincells together and make him a realize, oh. 

That’s what it is. That’s what this was, all along. This fierce loyalty thumping in his blood, this undying worship that only seems to grow stronger by the days, the searing bond between them that runs deeper than friendship, higher than captain and first mate.

Zoro’s in love with Luffy. 

And then, just as quickly, the thought that followed, after all, how could he not? 

Loving Luffy is the easiest and most natural thing in the world. It feels like an extension of him, of his body, his mind. Like the powerful thunder of his devotion could only end in this. Something groundbreaking and worldbuilding. He doesn’t remember loving life as much as he did with Luffy by his side. 

Now that they're back, Zoro isn't so sure he wants to spring this on Luffy, on his Luffy, his captain that had to lose his brother, alone, without Zoro being there for him, and the guilt nearly eats him alive, the yearning to be there for him, to be the steady pillar Luffy can lean on overpowering anything else.

Two whole years. 

Two years in which Zoro trained relentlessly, with the promise of seeing his crew, his captain again. Two years in which he fulfilled his promise of becoming stronger, stronger than ever so he could do his job. Protect them. Be worthy of the title of first man. One step closer to his dream, and one step closer to Luffy’s dream.

Two years that felt unbearably long and yet so short, but two years too many because now that he’s back, he feels like he’s been having Luffy withdrawals and getting all time with him is almost too much too soon.

It’s overwhelming. His body comes back to life like a parched flower under the rain, he nearly buzzes out of his skin with the need for more everytime he’s near Luffy. So he drinks and drinks, as if any amount of sake could ever satiate his bone deep hunger for Luffy. 

It drives him crazy. Because on top of that, it seems that Luffy has missed him too. He hasn’t said as much but it’s clear as day. 

It’s in the way he’ll constantly bother Zoro when he’s lifting weights, the way he’ll always look for him before going anywhere, the way he’ll jump more frequently into the ocean just so Zoro can dive in and catch him, in the way he’ll try harder to make Zoro laugh and smile, tell more stories to get his attention, in the casual touches here and there, the more frequent hugs and smooches. It's in the way he’ll get distracted even while eating meat—which has their whole crew staring at their captain like he's grown two heads—all because he’s too busy staring at Zoro. 

Staring like it’s a job.

Or more like, studying him. Drinking in each new scar, new earring, the way his muscles have grown, and his hair has too, each proof of all that time spent apart.

And it's also in the way he’s taking to falling asleep with Zoro during his naps, like right now. It's a blessing for the pitiful thump in Zoro's heart that begs for proximity, but it's going to become a problem soon as the heat that always simmers when Zoro's near Luffy seems to make itself known.

If Luffy shifts in his lap, slides just a smidge down, he's going to know just how much Zoro has missed him. And honestly? Zoro doesn’t know if he’d survive the embarrassment. He’s just too easy for his captain.

"Hey Zoro."

"Mhm."

A beat. Luffy traces Zoro's scar over his eye with a carefulness and tenderness so unlike his clumsy, forceful nature that it plucks at something deep within Zoro. Makes hope, and longing pang like a melody he can’t tune off.

Zoro cracks open his other eye and stares him. Even though he’s looked, and looked his fill, stared at him so many times he could probably draw Luffy in his sleep, he's still so gorgeous it makes his heart stop each time.

"What is it?"

Luffy bites his bottom lip, gazes at Zoro’s lips, back to his eyes, then ducks and settles back down on Zoro’s chest. "Nothing."

"Oi." Zoro flicks his nose. There’s a delicious flush rising to his captain’s cheeks, and Zoro distantly wonders if it tastes like raspberries. Softer, he adds, "it's just me."

Luffy stares back up at him, looking so terribly shy and yet brave, and it's in that determination pulling at his eyebrows, in the harsh set of his lips, that Zoro knows what's coming. He knows it before it even comes, because he knows Luffy so intimately, he knows it the way he knows where and when a blade will strike before it can so he can dodge the hit—but this time, he won't.

This is a hit he wants to receive with his head high, and his mouth curled up into a smile, he wants to welcome the sharpness of it in the emptiness between his ribs—he spot made for Luffy, and Luffy only—and wear the wound proudly. 

“Can I kiss you?” Luffy asks, voice strong, strong like he is. Like he wants this.

Zoro’s breath catches in his throat. Yes, he wants to scream. But because Zoro's heart is a stupid, loyal thing, what comes out instead is, “You can take everything from me.” 

He means my life is yours, my death is yours, I am a loyal dog at your feet, worshipping the ground you walk, and eager to be moulded by your hands. There is nothing you can't do to me. There is nothing you can do that I wouldn't love, because it's you.

Luffy frowns, shifts in Zoro’s lap. Strong arms wrap around his small waist to steady him, the weight comforting, steadying. “I don’t want to take from you. That feels wrong.”

“Why?” 

"Because." Luffy makes a frustrated noise. “I think,” stronger now, eyes burning with the fire that licks at Zoro’s spine, makes heat coil in his guts, “that I want you to kiss me. I want you to want to kiss me.”

Fuck, if only he knew.

Zoro loves him so much he wants to take out his heart and squeeze it dry. Loves him so badly he’d wrench out his ribs if he could and let Luffy devour them, like an offering to a God, he’d willingly sacrifice himself, over and over, without a heartbeat’s hesitation. 

"You can be really dumb sometimes, you know," Zoro murmurs gently as he thumbs at Luffy's cheeks. 

Cheekily, with a dimpled grin that makes his heart race, "Yeah, but Zoro still loves me."

Understatement of the century. "Exactly," Zoro replies simply, sitting up and leaning in so he can nuzzle Luffy’s nose with his own. He feels a bit like an animal, close to purring from the electricity fizzling in his veins. "So stop thinking and come get your kiss, captain."

Luffy’s eyes lighten up in a second, and then he strikes, surging up in Zoro’s arms like he’s been waiting for this reunion for decades. And this, this feels so right. This makes life worth it.

They crash together like undeniable forces of gravity, a trapped groan delivered from Zoro’s throat, freed by Luffy possessing him so suddenly, so intently. This is where he belongs. This is where he lies. Between Luffy’s lips, devoured by his unfiltered want.

Luffy kisses like he is, brightly, without restraint or shame, a force to be reckoned with, but one Zoro knows like the back of his hand, and is prepared to face, is excited about it, even. He licks back at those bruising lips, slides in the crease between them to taste his victory.

It’s a kiss that seals them together. It’s hands gripping at each other viciously, and noses bumping, it’s heaved breaths, and swollen mouths because they can’t stop, and need to get closer, and closer still. It’s Luffy moaning as he scratches at Zoro’s back, limbs tightening around his body in a childish and greedy way.

When they pull back, Luffy blinks, his pupils black as coals, a few brown speckles caught in the sunlight’s rays, and Zoro’s heart thinks, I’m yours.

for theme weekend 'Wayne Munson fics' i'd love to rec good for my boy by by MacksDramaticShenanigans (there's also a wonderful podfic version of this sweet fic, read by hullomoon) 🖤

good for my boy by MacksDramaticShenanigans

@stevethehairington

Rating: General Audiences

7,419 words, 1/1 chapters

Archive Warning: No Warnings

Tags: Not Canon Compliant - Stranger Things 4 Vol. 2, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, POV Outsider, POV Wayne Munson, Good Uncle Wayne Munson, Meeting the Parents, accidental first meeting, Eddie Munson Has a Crush on Steve Harrington, Steve Harrington Has a Crush on Eddie Munson, Pre-Relationship, Fluff, Domestic Fluff, Steve Harrington Can Cook, Eggs

Summary

Wayne lets the front door swing shut behind him, rattling and smacking into the frame audibly. “Jesus, Munson!” A voice rings out — the freezer fiend’s, and definitely not Eddie’s. “Took you god damn long enough!” The head finally pops out of the freezer. “I got tired of waiting and — oh.” The stranger’s hand slips from the handle and the freezer door thumps shut. As does the stranger’s mouth when he looks right into the face of, not Eddie Munson as expected, but Wayne Munson. Wayne briefly recognizes him as the Harrington boy.   or, the first time Wayne Munson meets Steve Harrington is a complete accident.

Thanks for the rec!

This rec is a part of Theme Weekend. The theme this weekend is Wayne Munson Fics.

HUGE FIC RECC HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO PEAK !!!!!!! 🥹💝💝💝💝💝💝

[arc852]

I am once again thinking about the lack of G/t in mainstream media so I have gone back to the roots of it all and am rewatching my favorite childhood G/t shows.

Please accept some of my favorite episodes from the shows The Littles and George Shrinks as well as a reminder that all episodes of both shows are free on Youtube!

Links under the cut!

First, The Littles:

And of course we can't forget The Littles Movie.

(Yes, there is a theme in each of these episodes that give away why they are my favorite lol)

Now George Shrinks:

Also, the theme song of another favorite of mine, though I fear the english dub of it might be lost. I had to put the english theme over the regular intro myself for this. A very fun show if you love mini giants, The Small Giant!

[lemonlimelea]

It’s G to E time! A series of themed drarry fic recs. Each list has four entries, to cover the four main content ratings used on AO3.

Inspired by this post, today’s theme is short fics, each of which is under 2000 words.

🌱 Lemon Blossoms by @tsauergrass (G, 1069 words)

Here was the thing: Draco’s tattoo bloomed. Two nights ago, but it had been slow all year long: sprouting, leaves spreading, pulling tall, the buds growing heavier and heavier. Then it bloomed and Draco wanted to laugh, because of course. Of course it was lemon flowers. Now he was afraid. He had always been afraid, just for entirely different reasons.

This fic crafts the most tender world, rich with sensory details. There’s a real sense of wonder to it, and of vulnerability, as it follows the new relationship unfolding. I don’t often read stories with soulmate marks, but it’s a real asset here, fitting so seamlessly into the wider setting.

🌱 I Must Be Lonely by @sweet-s0rr0w (T, 1835 words)

Draco works nights at the Ministry security desk. Sometimes, he sees Potter.

Sweet knows that I love this fic, and I must sing its praises once again! It builds out Harry and Draco’s lives skilfully and swiftly, and perfectly captures the feeling of liminal spaces, both physically and emotionally. It reaches so far beyond the scope of its wordcount, making it the most satisfying quick read!

🌱Adho Mukha Śvānāsana by @bixgirl1 (M, 1331 words)

A training session goes horribly wrong differently than Harry thought it would.

Awkward workplace erections have never been so delightful. I always love Harry and Draco working together, and this little glimpse into their lives (as Auror and Unspeakable respectively) is the most fun time! There’s yoga, there's sexual tension, and there are lines that make me laugh every time!

🌱 Freefall by @edieblakee (E, 1559 words)

Ron needs to have a conversation with Malfoy.

The way that this fic makes use of its three different POVs, each so strongly voiced and well-considered, is fantastic! It sets up Draco and Harry’s dynamic really effortlessly, and pulls you right into the scene without any preamble. Also, wow, it’s scorching hot. Petition for more cockwarming fics in 2025!!
