rec: To Chain a God

author: Quixotic on ao3 Summary: After Viktor and Jayce are dragged back to Runeterra by a force outside of their control, a recovering Piltover faces a new challenge: how do you imprison a god? Viktor has surrendered himself to the people’s justice, but is still the Machine Herald in form and function, a mechanical monster and boundless font of arcane power. Jayce is the only one who can see him as the man he was before, but he is also the only one who can answer to the other Councilors’ demands. Jayce Talis was made famous for harnessing magic with technology. Now, he's being called upon to bind the god his work created, all while protecting him from the forces that would exploit him.

BANGER premise with banger execution!!! it's rare to see postcanon fic where viktor is still in his arcane herald form, and what a GREAT interpretation this is. i dont want to talk about the specifics bc i want you guys to read for yourself but like it's real good

also what's in the abovementioned summary is just a start; this fic adds in a cosmic horror mystery, political maneuvering, ramifications of s2 events for zaun... all the while keeping the jayvik relationship gut-wrenching and emotional.

i really can't wait to see where this fic takes us

Warnings: cosmic horror, suicidal ideation

I’m not really digging the art direction, and the direction for the voice acting is also off sometimes. BUT THIS! THIS SCENE! THEY ACTUALLY GOT IT RIGHT!!!

I haven’t translated this part in the novel yet, so here’s a quick translation of what he’s saying in the video:

“Why? Why? Hahaha, why? Yeah, my name is ‘why*.’ In this life, I’m destined to be entangled with such difficult questions.”

*He Gu’s name (何故) means “for what reason?”

The hurt in his voice, the laughter, the helplessness… it was so on-point 🥹

Summary:

Last year, eighteen-year-old legal guardian Robbie Reyes made a deal with the ghost of the serial killer possessing his body: together they will unleash their rage on those who endanger Los Angeles, and when they find someone truly evil, truly deserving, they will kill them. Since he made the deal, they've maimed plenty, but killed no one, and the ghost is getting impatient. Robbie gets a side-job driving his Ghost Rider car for Uber. This goes about as well as one could hope: he doesn't attack any passengers, but he does stumble upon a murder victim. Robbie wants the killer to pay, for reasons he does not understand. Eli wants Robbie to finally fulfill his end of the deal and kill somebody, anybody. To avenge the innocent dead, Robbie is finally willing to cooperate. They work together to identify and hunt the killer. Meanwhile, Lisa takes Robbie to meet her parents, Robbie plans for his future, Ramón Cordova pays it forward, Guero Valdez adapts, the woman who got slipped a pink pill puts her apartment back together, a cop from New York comes out west hunting Ghost Riders, and Gabe understands more than Robbie knows.

Prompt:

The Last of Us Prompt: (This is niche as hell so if you haven't seen the show, any zombie/apocalypse thing will be fine!) Anything set post-apocalypse where Greg comforts Alex, again preferably kink, maybe gentle but firm dom Greg? And if you'd prefer to leave sex out of it, that's 100% fine, but something post-apocalypse and stress relief!

Summary:

It's four years after the world ended. A horrific fungal parasite swept the planet, turning anyone infected into a mindless, murderous, monster - and the survivors do what they can to keep living. Greg and Alex have turned the Taskmaster House into their refuge, but when a request for help comes through the radio, they head out to the nearby abandoned National Archives building - and what starts as a beautiful, if lonely and overgrown, summer's day turns into Greg's worst possible nightmare.

Face to what-was-once-face, the thing – the almost-human – cricks its neck, tilts its face, the click-click-click of its sounds feeling out the shape of Alex’s gas-masked head. Then, tendrils. Like white smoke rising from a deadly fire, a slow, branching cloud of them slithers through the still air. Closer and closer to Alex – towards the bare skin of his neck, the open shell of his ears, the red-and-sweating edge of his hairline where the black rubber ends. Greg would scream.

the two types of billford content

[prokopetz]

I fully understand why "character A is astounded at the sight of character B's penis" is a specific kink that gets tagged for, but the fact that some platforms choose to tag this kink as "penis awe" is unintentionally very funny. Now I'm picturing penis experience kink tags for all those other allegedly transcendent emotions in the glossary of your Philosophy 101 textbook. Penis faith. Penis Weltschmerz. Penis apprehension of the absurd.

I found this Years of Intoxication MMV on BiliBili that uses images from the manhua and dialogue from the audio drama. If I’m hearing it correctly, it’s using this audio drama, specifically.

Song used in the MMV is Letting Go by Tanya Chua, and the lyrics are so fitting for He Gu 🥹:

This is a farewell letter Writing down my reasons for leaving The role I play in your life is vague To me you’re sometimes cold, sometimes hot In the end, am I your lover or a friend I shouldn’t love you so seriously

And omg, manhua!He Gu is sooo pretty. It’s making me wanna give the manhua (now a manju, I heard) a chance again. I couldn’t finish it because the pacing felt off and the art, though pretty, didn’t capture the intensity of the emotions in the novel.
