#Jacinter

[extremereader]

My opinions on Lunar Chronicles ships:

Kaider: great, but I don't like how people ignore everything else in favor of it.

Wolflet: I LOVE THEM.

Cresswell: I'd like it a lot more if it weren't for that age gap.

Jacinter: this one is my personal favorite and it's depressing how overlooked it is

Kiko: absolutely not, get that toxic mf away from my queen

Levana x Sybil: I honestly don't see it, but if you want to ship it I won't judge.

Aimery x anyone: oh HECK no

Levana x Evret: no! She raped him and glamoured herself to look like his dead wife!

Cress x Iko: I don't ship it but I see why some people might.

Iko x Emelie: now we're talking!

Jacin x Cinder: honestly this one gives me the ick because of a fan theory that Jacin's dad was raped by Cinder's mom and the result was Cinder

one of my favorite parts of the lunar chronicles has always been how batshit insane it is. just the the genuine unhingery. the main character kidnaps her love interest from his wedding. said love interest stabs his arranged bride (a murderous dictator) with scissors at the altar. cress and thorne stay at an inn in the middle of the desert, and while he’s fucking around gambling she gets kidnapped into an underground medical experimentation human trafficking ring and bought by her long lost father. there’s evil moon people. scarlet and wolf get it on in a boxcar after like two days of knowing each other. 4/9 of the main cast aren’t human. cinder crashes kai’s wedding (again), murders twenty people, and jumps off a ten story balcony into a lake. kai keeps cinder’s metal foot so he can stare at it and long after her while she’s a wanted fugitive. cress fangirls over and stalks her outlaw crush on the internet for years and then bags him when they meet. not one of them is over twenty or mentally sound btw. no other YA series is doing it like that. applause

EDIT bc I’ve had so many people correct me: yes my math is off on the human ratio!! Ik it’s only two on reflection, I wrote this post very quickly and didn’t fully think it through, thank you for the corrections

[ikosburneraccount]

only geniuses can recognize that jacinter and everlark are cousins in ship dynamics

„Lunars were a society that had evolved from an Earthen moon colony centuries ago, but they weren’t human anymore. People said Lunars could alter a person’s brain—make you see things you shouldn’t see, feel things you shouldn’t feel, do things you didn’t want to do”.

The Ultimate Lunar Chronicles Fanfic Rec List

Because this fandom is dead and those of us still standing deserve to read the gems.

All Time Fav:

1-800-CAPTAIN (by lovelunarchron) https://archiveofourown.org/works/5347382/chapters/12347996

Desperate to not be alone again for the holidays, Cress hires a man to pose as her boyfriend for her family’s annual Christmas celebration.

Cinder/Kai:

like real people do (by songandsilence) https://archiveofourown.org/works/1472797

The dreams start as soon as she escapes from prison. He doesn’t think much of it at first - she is the most wanted fugitive on earth at the moment, and at least 75% of hisi day is spent in conversation about her, whether it be her motive, her origins (Luna, he has to remind himself), her plans. Her picture follows him everywhere. It is on every screen, every newscast. Just as Torin is his shadow, she is as well.

(Missing moments - mostly during ‘Scarlet’)

against the clock (by nicole_writes) https://archiveofourown.org/works/10547732

Soulmate timers have been helping connect people who belong together for all time and still, Cinder gets the guy who can’t even figure out it’s her. 

Lilac and Gold and You (by au_moins_jessaie) https://archiveofourown.org/works/64832608

Cress thinks she’s pregnant and is freaking out. When she tells Cinder, Cincer offers to take a pregnancy test alongside her. But just for moral support, right?

deja vu (by crescentchat) https://archiveofourown.org/works/39846189

Kai and Princess Winter are set to be married, with the fate of Earth resting in their communion. With newfound access to TVs and devices, which are not available in Luna, she quickly recognizes her long lost cousin. What is an 18 year old Emperor to do?

Cress/Thorne:

Protected (by MadeOfStardustAndOreos) https://archiveofourown.org/works/25658644

Newly reunited with her friends, Cress and the gang finally get the chance to sleep in actual beds - even if they belong to the Lunar Aristocrats whose house they’ve just broken into. Safe once more, Cress can‘t help feeling helpless over always needing rescue from her friends.

Luckily, Captain Carswell Thorne is there to eliminate any fears - including his own. After all, he really can’t be sure of Cress’s safety unless he’s by her side 100% of the time...

A missing moment from Winter.

Someday Soon (by Mistakesweremade/PastyPirate) https://archiveofourown.org/works/18237812

“Are you just going to stare at me all day?” She asked, nerves curling in her stomach as they often did when she flirted with the line they’d set. The sight of him in navy blue boxers didn’t help.

“I figure I should try to desensitize myself so I can protect you better,” he tilted his head as he spoke, warmth curled next to the nerves, “I don’t think it’s working.”

“Come on Captain,” she gestured towards the water, “the longer you stand there ogling at me the more likely someone will come by and ogle the both of us.”

“And it’ll be the best day of their lives.” He announced haughtily, swaggering towards her and taking the hand she stretched out to him.

In which: Cress realizes something during a later afternoon swim.

Safe (by MadeOfStardustAndOreos) https://archiveofourown.org/works/23826835

For their first night after leaving Luna, Cress and Thorne are left to themselves on the Rampion. Struggling to fall asleep, Cress is finding fewer and fewer reasons for why she isn’t sharing a bed with her Captain.

ft. Wolf with tomatoes and Throne returning to his beloved, a.k.a. the Rampion

do it, i dare you (by cresswell) https://archiveofourown.org/works/7225465

“This is a very bad idea,” Cress said.

“No this is a very good idea,” Thorne replied, his voice muffled by Cress’s thigh. “I am just a very bad influence.”

Til Death Dop Us Part (by lovelunarchron https://archiveofourown.org/works/13257282/chapters/30328461

After getting dragged to LAs Vegas by her friends, Cress Darnel wakes up the next morning to find she accidentally married an ex-conman named Carswell Thorne. When their attempt to annul their drunken nuptials takes a turn for the worst, the newlyweds must learn to live with each other... for better or for worse.

A trilogy of unconnected Cresswel oneshots for the 2024 Lunar Chronicles Ship Weeks!

Scarlet/Wolf:

staring (by crescentchat) https://archiveofourown.org/works/62210548

Wolf is staring at another woman. Before Scarlet considers that this is highly unlike him, she does something very much like her, and flies off the handle.

Reaffirming of trust ensues (featuring your friendly neighborhood Cress and Thorne).

his favorite time (by BadOldWest) https://archiveofourown.org/works/1119437

This lazy, sun-tired, sore-muscled time of day was his favorite. When everything was quiet and soft. After work, after dinner, after a nice long bath, where he was warm and fed and clean. 

Questioning Ran (by idon’tnap) https://archiveofourown.org/works/40540767

When Scarlet and Wolf encounter Ran in the woods in the book Scarlet, Wolf says that Scarlet wouldn’t be able to get any answers out of Ran because he was taught to withstand torture.

So Scarlet tries another method of questioning.

Lupus Domesticus (by tonkzart) https://archiveofourown.org/works/20972819/chapters/49869107

Scarlet and Wolf arrive home after months on the Rampion distributing antidotes, ready to settle into their new life together. They haven’t slept together yet. 

Winter/Jacin:

Girl of Seasons (by peanutbutterapple) https://archiveofourown.org/works/11164551

“I know,” Winter said, turning her eyes back to the air, the side of her face still pressed into this shirt. She thought she meant it, I love you.

“Good,” Jacin said. He leaned his head against the top of hers, and Winter thought he meant, I love you too.

touch of snow (by crescentchat) https://archiveofourown.org/works/60908206/chapters/155585212#workskin

A trilogy of unconnected Jacinter oneshots for the 2024 Lunar Chronicles Ship Weeks!

landscape (by shireith) https://archiveofourown.org/works/56645314

‘It’s a curious thing how getting to know someone-or remembering someone, in Winter’s case-doesn’t always turn them into any less of a stranger. Winter would look at Jacin in search of something, and he would look back, but only for an instant, before his whole figure recoiled in itself and the secret moment they’d shared shimmered away like a mirage.’

Glimpse of Winter and Jacin as they readjust to each other.

Set somewhere after the epilogue in Winter.

Iko/Kinney:

To the End of Their Days (by orphan_account) https://archiveofourown.org/works/5256503/chapters/12128636

A collection of one shots set post-Winter, focusing on the four main couples, as well as Iko and Kinney, and the return to normal life after a revolution for some, the adjustment to a brand new life for others, and a bright future for all.

Arguing in Defense of My Humanity (by breadmakesyoufat) https://archiveofourown.org/works/27170632/chapters/66359734

“I love it when you’re confrontational” he whispers softly, and her eyes flutter slightly as she laughs softly in response.

Lava (by MagicAndConstellations) https://archiveofourown.org/works/14086842

Cinder and Kai are in Luna for a diplomatic meeting. While their parents are at meetings, the Imperial prince and princess are babysat by Iko. Kinney receives a comm from Ciner asking to check on the trio as Iko hasn’t been answering her. 

Idiotic Tendencies (by FloraIrmaTylee) https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11993100/1/Idiotic-Tendencies

Iko thinks that Kinney’s only redeeming quality is his attractiveness. Somehow, because she decides to hate him, the universe pushes them together. 

An Android Goes to the Ball (by andypolymetis) https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11983788/1/An-Android-Goes-to-the-Ball

Iko wants to fo to the party, but it comes with a catch.

Carswell’s Guide to Being Vulnerable (by lionofsounis) https://archiveofourown.org/works/11545311

“What are you doing?”

“I’m giving you a hug, you idiot.”

“Cinder--”

“Shut up, Thorne.”

Thorne visits Cinder in the hospital for a slumber party chat about their crushes. Toenail painting not included. Some H/C, mostly banter. Both of them being sappy idiots and best friends.

Grounds for War (by suchastart) https://archiveofourown.org/works/7632229

“Can’t believe they lost my reservation,” Thorne says, dropping his duffel on the ground and looking around at the room, hands on his lips. ”Wow. Look at this!”

Cinder is looking. She is looking especially closely at the bed sitting in the middle of the room. The problem is not with the bed, but that there’s only one of them, and that it seems like Thorne will be sharing the room with her and Kai, too.

Jacin’s acting scarier than usual, and for the life of him, Thorne can’t figure out why.

Winter and Jacin from The Lunar Chronicles.

[roses-red-and-pink]

Jacin and Winter are top tier insane for each other. Ride or die. Like “you would die for me and I would die immediately afterwards”, “I’d take a bullet for you in a heartbeat, no one would have to force me” “I will throw myself in front of the knife for you”. “I can’t remember a time I didn’t love you, I don’t think such a time ever existed” They have literally no chill when it comes to each other. Scarlet is here thinking “oh winter has a schoolgirl crush on this grumpy guard that’s kinda cute” meanwhile winter and Jacin are out here planning their joint gravestone.

[captlinh]

Winter: Started seeing someone!

Scarlet: As in dating or hallucinations?

[fuedalreesespieces]

i should probably make a lunar chronicles blog to say all this shit but god. i miss them so bad. i need to see them on the big screen one way or another. i need to see kai and cinder's awkward first meeting and her - a five star professional mechanic - literally slamming his tech on its side in an effort to fix it. i need to see cinder crashing the ball in a rain-soaked dress. i need to see her and thorne break out of jail and thorne tell her about starting a prison riot over fucking soap while she just stares at him without a drop of amusement in her eyes, only for them to become best friends. i need to see scarlet aim a gun at wolf and hear wolf tell her to aim at his head because it makes for a more fatal shot, and the sick, nasty parallels later. i need to see cress and thorne stumbling over the dessert, navigating more than just sand dunes. i need to see iko get her new body and feel herself for the first time. i need to see jacin being a jackass to everyone because he's been raised in a place where being anything but harsh will ruin him. i need to see him helping winter through her hallucinations, the two of them holding back their affections at every moment because they can't display them without someone getting hurt. i need to see the final showdown, the "nice shot, cress." i need to see them all eating lemon cake at the end after weeks of eating canned military food on the rampion, eating with their hands because they all forgot cutlery, getting frosting all over their fingers. i need-
