A Post MAG200 Fic Rec List

I spent all of yesterday reading post MAG200 fics, and I don’t usually read fic, so I thought I should put together a list of my favourites!

HAPPY ENDINGS

this is the majority of fic I’m gonna list here, mainly because my heart hurts enough from MAG200 canon as is. Some fluff, some hurt-comfort, but all with happy endings.

Against All Odds by buzzbuzz34 ( @kellanswritingblog ) - 1.3k

Martin did what had to be done. He stabbed Jon.

The tapes pull them through to another world, but it's a race against time before Jon dies for good this time.

a path worth following by maybemight_love - 2k

"I don’t want to be a god. I just want to be with you."

Martin and Jon get an ending fitting of a cosmic horror epic, some timeline/universe shenanigans, and a tear-filled reunion in a London supermarket. They are good people who have suffered enough so here is their soft epilogue.

where you go, I'm going (so jump and I'm jumping) by Aria - 6.5k

"I don't think so," Alex said. She looked at Martin. "Is this really how it went?"

"What?" Martin said. Alex and Georgie and Jon were all looking at him. The sky seemed so different today--

If We Were Young Again by ChristinMKay - 2k

Martin wakes up in a new world, alone and with Jon's blood on his hands. A desperate search for the love of his life begins.

in a different world with different eyes by abeebumbling - less than 1k

A little later, Jon and Martin wake up somewhere else.

BITTERSWEET ENDINGS

I’ve more or less been avoiding all fics that weren’t fix-its or happy endings, but these two caught my eye when I was looking through the Ao3 tag and I’m so glad I read them. They’re both very cathartic.

The Space Between by HelenRichardson - 1.7k

If you were to punch a hole through your universe, you would not fall directly into the next one.

A short little post-finale fic I wrote in an attempt to give my brain some peace.

For you (I can't stand the ending) by Coldfrenchfries ( @origami-boat ) - 2k 

The tapes couldn’t be from him. It didn’t make sense, it just didn’t. 

BONUS

okay I Know this list is for Post-MAG200 fics but I thought I’d also leave here two of my favourite ongoing multi-chapter fics that update regularly, in case you’re already missing weekly Magnus episodes.

Against All Probability by Cirrusgrey ( @cirrus-grey ) - 16/26, 24.6k

When Jon is nine, a new kid moves into his neighborhood.

When he is promoted to Head Archivist, he still writes to him.

leaves too high to touch (roots too strong to fall) by OllieoftheBeholder ( @ollieofthebeholder ) - 34/56, 166.9k

“So...you’re from the future. In the past. Why?” “You want the short answer or the long one?” “Short,” Martin says after a moment’s deliberation. “Until I decide if I trust you.” The other nods, as if he expected that answer—which, well, if he really is Martin from the future, he probably did. “To stop the world from ending.”

They have one last chance to fix this - one last chance to prevent the Eyepocalypse, to save the world - to save their world. It all hinges on which is the greater force: greed...or love.

OK I am very self-conscious about posting things on Tumblr, BUT this is a great reason to do it! I got to draw for @kellanswritingblog‘s awesome fic Hope on the Horizon for the @pilesofnonsense Rusty Quill Big Bang 2020. There were so many really cool scenes full of piratey goodness that I had to draw 4 things :D. Thank you for the amazing experience! And apparently I should reblog to add the link instead of doing it here because tumblr so ... I’m gonna do that ... 

[celsidebottom]

Going through your RQG tag has given me all the serotonin and more I love this podcast so so much and I’m absolutely terrified as to what ep 148 is gonna throw at the LOLOMG ((also thank u for all the lovely things u say on my art and I LOVE YOUR WRITING A LOT BUT I COULD ONLY FIND ONE I WANNA READ MORE))

GOD It’s so good??? Everyone should listen to rqg I know it’s long and there’s a lot going on but please if you can it’s so so so good  

Please let them rest Alex…. they’ve been through so much…….. give them a long rest………………. 

Your art is just??  So amazing??????  Like I’m not an artist by any stretch of the imagination but I see one of your pieces for rqg or tma or anything and I lose my mind lol 

AAAH thank you!!!  Though this made me realize that I have not done a good job of tagging my fics on this blog…. BUT!  I have a writing blog where I put all of my fics!  It’s @kellanswritingblog!  All of the fics I’ve posted on tumblr are there, and my AO3 is buzzbuzz34, which mostly has longer, multi-chapter pieces while my tumblr is just oneshots or answered prompts.  (Things are actually tagged by fandom there so you don’t have to sort through everything) 

Also since you’ve got me in an Azu/Cel mood, I’m going to shamelessly promo my only other (which is a shame??? I need to fix this and write more of them immediately) fic for them which is here.

RvB Rec Day: Rare Pair Week Recs!

We had us an amazing Rare Pair Week a few weeks ago, and I’ve been poring over all the great fics and art all month, so it seems only fitting to put together a list of my favorites. Check out the whole masterpost for lots more (and there is a LOT)!

Fic Recs

It’s hard to miss you when you’re always on the tip of my tongue (Andersmith/Bitters) by @bizarrebird. A fic that nails both characters’ voices as well as Bitters’ troubled inner life, and the struggle to maintain hope in a dire situation; a fic that reminds me of all the things I love about Chorus and especially about the Lieutenants.

Days of Donut series (Grif/Donut, Simmons/Donut, endgame Wash/Donut) by @cinaed. It is highly worth reading all five of these fics order as a series, because they all connect at the end. Donut has a few Red Team hookups, eventually getting together with Wash. It’s funny and charming and I really buy the feelings between Wash and Donut.

Kiss and Make up (Donut/Wash) by @hokuton-punch. A sweet fic with a great ending that brings in one of my favorite oft-forgotten Donut traits, bossiness!

A Different Kind of Rebellion (Kimball/South) by @kellanswritingblog. So nice to see a revival of the “South goes to Chorus” fic! A tender moment between a tired General and her mercenary that will make you wish this could have been.

Hanging Garden of Weeds (Carolina/Locus) by @arynasea. A engaging mystery that unfolds through a nonlinear narrative and a strong character study of Locus post-Chorus.

Art Recs

post-sparring shenanigans (Carolina/Maine) by @ask-the-freelancers

Paranormal (Carolina/Dylan) by @southicut

elegance (Carolina/South) by @southicut

ODST days (Florida/Sarge) by @sxpaiscia

hot!! (Kai/South) by @sxpaiscia

blush (Kai/Wash) by @southicut

Look at this hot mess (Maine/Tucker) by @coup-de-maine

old school (Ohio/Sherry) by @southicut

Author Interview

Tagged by @greyvvardenfell!  Thank you!!! (I know this is. so late. I’m very bad at remembering to do tag things but I got there eventually!)

Name: Kellan

Fandoms: At this point I’m like 90% a Rusty Quill blog with a dash of RWBY and Dragon Age

Where you post: I tend to post multichapter things on my AO3 exclusively, and prompt requests from tumblr on my writing blog, @kellanswritingblog, but everything in between goes in both places

Most popular one shot: definitely this one about Jon stealing Martin’s sweater because he wanted to remember him while he was Lonely-ified

Most popular multi-chapter story: that would be my Life is Strange fic Saving Grace set after sacrificing Chloe, where Max learns to live again with the help of Kate, and the two of them wind up in a relationship and facing their demons together. (Man I really miss writing this one.  I learned a lot about scheduling while writing it but it was a fun story and I’m sad that I finished it)

Favourite story you wrote: Masquerade, a Zolf/Hamid fake dating au set in a fancy ball, featuring jealous exes, mutual pining, bed sharing, the good stuff

How you choose your titles: Most of the time I write one good line and that winds up as my title.  The rest of the time, it’s song lyrics or a poetic line I wanted to put in but it didn’t fit

Complete: I’m honestly not sure?  Maybe like 75% of my current ideas have been written, at least in regard to fanfiction.  When it comes to original content, I have like... half of the novels written that I have plans for?  And I have even more ideas that are still in the vague nebulous stage of life (I have a character and a world that if I put my mind to it could easily be a series with no real goal just gays fighting demons)

Incomplete: I don’t have anything right now that I’m in the middle of writing, it’s either written (even if it’s still hiding in a word doc) or in the outline stage

Do you outline: Abso-hecking-lutely.  I am one of those people that has to have a plan for where the story is going otherwise I’ll get lost and just. not finish it.  

Coming Soon: I really want to buckle down on the idea I had for a TimMartin AU where Tim works in a theater with a circus show coming to town and notices weird happenings so calls a ghost hunter, but he calls the wrong number and gets Martin.  Martin decides that he can wing it as a ghost hunter and pretends he knows what’s going on, but really just read a WikiHow article on how to find ghosts beforehand.  They hit it off, Nikola is there, there’s fire, and they live happily ever after.  (Can you see where my idea for this kind of starts lacking in detail?)

Do you accept prompts: Absolutely!  All the time!  It may take me a while to get to them, depending on how my head and anxiety are behaving, but I definitely will eventually!  I try to occasionally reblog prompt suggestions, and anyone and everyone is more than welcome to send one of those in, or just any idea you might come up with!

Upcoming story you’re most excited to write: I just recently had an idea for a Zolf/Hamid piece (yes, another one) where they have to go back to L’Triomphe and they have a lot of emotions regarding the last time they were there but this time they can deal with them together

[celsidebottom]

I finally got my act together and made a legitimate writing blog!  You can find it at the cleverly named @kellanswritingblog!  

So far, I’ve only really reblogged some of my old fics there to give it some content, but later I plan to post prompts, wips, aesthetics for my characters, and more!  

There’s a page with my main OCs on it and a backstory for each.  And there’s also another page where you can sort through all the fics on that blog by fandom, and they’re all tagged by character too!

So if you like my writing, please go give me a follow!  I appreciate it.  Thank you!!
