can i say 18 w your fv!punz bc he lives in my head actually rent free

18. didn't know you cared

Getting up off the ground is easier than Punz is expecting. 

He takes stock of himself as he moves; pain in his wrist and elbow, where he'd caught himself on the concrete. Something radiating agony around his shoulder. He can still move the arm, though, so he can ignore it for now.

He stumbles when he stands. He's lightheaded, a little nauseous. Blood loss, probably. He feels strangely removed from himself, and that should be worrisome—if he’s going into shock he’s got bigger problems, but he's alright enough to cross the alley. Alright enough to hold it together for a few minutes while he drops to his knees and hauls Sapnap into his lap.

Sapnap looks worse off, he thinks, but it’s just a cosmetic thing. Punz got hit below the neck, Sapnap caught a fucking bat to the face. Of course he's going to look worse. 

Punz delicately pinches the bridge of Sapnap’s nose between two fingers. Sapnap hisses and elbows him feebly in the ribs.

"Your nose is broken," Punz tells him. 

"You have a fucking bullet in your shoulder," Sapnap snipes back, like it's a competition that he's lost. It’s sort of funny how opposite their reactions are to pain. Sapnap gets angry, spits insults like venom. Punz goes quiet, sinks into himself until it can be dealt with.

He shrugs with his good shoulder. "Could've been a dick shot," he says.

Sapnap laughs, then groans, then turns his head and spits blood onto the concrete. Punz feels his way down Sapnap’s chest until his fingers hit a wet spot on his hoodie. He peels it up and away from his belly, where apparently he's been stabbed.  

"I'll take you to Karl," Punz says, because Karl is the logical place to go. Karl, with his steady hands and his mostly-legit medical license and his weird sterile basement full of stolen hospital equipment. 

Sapnap scoffs, then spits more blood. Punz hopes it’s more from the hit to the face and less from the wound in his gut.

"Didn't know you cared," Sapnap says. He sounds bitter, even around a mouthful of blood and the nasal edge of a broken nose. That's fair, probably, given their history.

For a stupid and dizzying moment, Punz considers being honest. The truth lingers on the back of his tongue like bile—that he's never stopped caring, even though by all rights he should have. 

Eventually he settles on, "Don't have to care that much to not want you to die, dickhead," and Sapnap rolls his eyes so expansively that Punz swears they're gonna roll out of his head.

"Idiot," Sapnap says. If Punz didn’t know better, he’d swear he sounded sort of fond.

Happy Fanfic Writer Appreciation Day~!

As per this post, today is a day for fanfic writer appreciation! So, I wanted to share some of my current fave fics🥰 (Since I’ve been on a Star Wars kick for a while, these will all be Star Wars.) As always, follow the rules: mind the tags and don’t like, don’t read <3 And if you read any of these, leave the authors a kudos & comment!

(If you are on this list and do not want to be, please let me know!)

Without further ado, here’s some fic recs in no particular order:

1) look at me (with your eyes closed) by @maderilien Boba Fett/Din Djarin, Rated T, 120k+ words.

Aaaaah, this fic was delicious. A canon-divergence fic after season 2 episode 1, it follows Boba and Din as Boba goes in search of his ship (which was sold off rather than conveniently still in Jabba's Palace). It's got it all--Allies to Friends to Mutual Pining to Enemies to Lovers, adorable scenes with Grogu, action, angst, a happy ending! I loved the world-building in this, and the alternate story for Boba--especially in his personal journey. I highly recommend this one (and its prequel)!

2) Broken Threads by @sadiebwrites Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker, Rated T, 78k+ words.

Brooooo, this fic!!! Set in the immediate aftermath of RotJ, Luke is dealing with unforseen consequences from his torture aboard the 2nd Death Star, and Din is, as always, a bounty hunter whose conscience hits just in the nick of time. This is a fantastic read for OG trilogy fans (especially lovers of Luke & Leia), Fallen Order fans, and prequel-era Jedia fans (3 cheers for T'ra Saa everyone). A wonderful adventure and slow burn romance, I really recommend this one! I definitely cried, like, twice lol. (No worries, though, it's a happy ending.)

3) Hot for Teacher by @astrangebird Din Djarn/Cobb Vanth, Rated E, 40k+ words.

I started reading this because I love trans!Din and I also love Cobb Vanth, but then this fic just hit me with ROMANCE and FEELINGS and ugh, I adored it. Set in what I can only describe as a "sorta-modern, but definitely still Star Wars" AU, Din is a Tusken sign language professor and Cobb is the retired sheriff taking a class to fill his sudden free time after an injury. It's a wonderful story with a somewhat messy romance and happy ending, I highly recommend!

4) hunting toward heartstill by @blackkatmagic Mace Windu/Cody (Main), Rated M, 207k+ words.

Okay, this one is basically a fandom must-read at this point, right? Mace/Cody may be a rarepair, but it's No.1 in my heart thanks to this fic. Not only does it have the ultimate "Fake Relationship/Married" trope (with possibly THE most romantic marriage vows ever), it has some real edge-of-your-seat action and turn-you-to-goo romance. Multiple plot lines are masterfully woven together into a very satisfying end (of the story, and the Clone War). Cannot rec this one enough!

5) Now Comes The Tide by @purplesauris Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker, Rated E, 9k+ words.

An absolute banger, I love this fic. It's mostly porn, with a sprinkling of romance and Force sensitive!Din, and also features trans!Din (a personal fave), armor sex, and inappropriate use of the Force (a classic). I loved Luke and Din's chemistry in this fic, and the sex scenes are wonderfully steamy~ I highly recommend this one!

6) The Abyssal Plain by @lyresnake Obi-Wan Kenobi/Darth Maul, Rated E, 25k+ words.

Obi/Maul is a messy fave of mine, they're just so much fun and this fic really demonstrates that. Maul is in his trash planet years when Obi-Wan crash lands and ends up in a very uncivilized situation lol. I loved how this fic portrayed Maul and his entire mess, but also the mess that is Obi-Wan Kenobi. It built a fascinating romance between the two, striking a balance between them that I found really interesting and engaging. Definitely my fave Obi/Maul fic <3

7) A Slow Fall Towards Grace by @glimmerglanger Obi-Wan Kenobi/Cody, Rated E, 116k+ words.

If you're like me, then you really enjoy seeing Obi-Wan suffer lmao, and this is definitely the fic for you (don't worry, it's got a happy ending, too!). In what I can only describe as Obi-Wan's disastrous journey to love, this fic follows Obi-Wan throughout his life to the end of the Clone War in an A/B/O AU. This fic features some heavy stuff, but it has a satisfying ending and possibly one of my favorite scenes ever in a fic (idk what it was about that birth scene in chapter 5, but the Drama really grabbed me by the throat lol). Really recommend this fic for angst and A/B/O lovers, this one's def for you!

8) Beekeeping and Husbandry by @meggory84 Qui-Gon Jinn/Obi-Wan Kenobi, Rated M, 135k+ words.

Y'aaaaall this fic. Is. So. Good. I loved the disability rep in this fic, and the whole portrayal of Qui-Gon is probably my favorite of any fics I've read. Heavy on the deep dive on Qui-Gon's character, this fic follows an alternate ending AU of TPM where Obi-Wan "heals" Qui-Gon and Mace gets a terrible vision of the future (aka, he sees everything leading up to his death). Usually with time travel / full-vision of the future AUs, we see things from the POV of the character with all the information trying to save the day--but not in this AU! And I loved that, it made things so interesting. Cannot recommend this one enough!

9) A Safe Haven by @hixystix Alexsandr Kallus/Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios, Rated E, 146k+ words.

Listen, if you're even a little bit of a KalluZeb shipper, or even just a Kallus fan, I cannot recommend this fic enough. Following Kallus's rescue above Atollon, this fic follows Zeb and Kallus through the rebellion and after as they find themselves and each other. I loved Kallus's character development in this, and the world building of life in the rebellion, especially for an ex-Imperial like Kallus. This fic really takes you on an emotional rollercoaster, but the ending is very worth it (and the sex scenes... those are also worth it. Woof.).

10) How the Other Half Lives (series) by @reedroad Luke Skywalker & Leia Organa (Main), Rated G to T, 660+k words (on-going).

Do I even have the words to describe this series? I'm literally in love. An AU in which Leia goes to the Lars' on Tatooine and Luke to the Organa's on Alderaan, this fic follows the two from childhood through AU-versions of the OG trilogy, and heavily features Ahsoka Tano and Ezra Bridger. What the author does with their world-building and characterizations is just *chef's kiss* perfection. My absolute favorite iteration of Prince Luke Organa and Leia Skywalker with a killer depiction of Darth Vader and Han Solo, this fic has everything you could possibly want in a role-swap AU.

11) Reconstruction Corps AU (series) by @cacodaemonia Waxer/Boil (Main), Rated G to E, 518k+ words (on-going).

Once again, I'm in love. Not only is cacodaemonia an incredible artist with much of their art featuring in this series, their writing honestly takes my breath away. The sheer depth of emotion in this series!!! If you're a clone fan, I literally cannot rec this series enough. I've laughed, I've cried (a lot), I've rolled around in bed like a happy rolypoly, it truly evokes the full range of emotions lol. Mostly following Waxer and Boil throughout the War and after, this series is just such a heartfelt love letter to the clones and the Star Wars universe itself.

12) a simple thing by @ryehouses Boba Fett/Din Djarin, Rated E, 700k+ words (on-going)

Originally, I put off reading this fic cause it was just so damn long. And then I started reading it... and didn't stop for, like, a week. This is just one of those fics that you cannot put down. An incredible deep dive on Din Djarin's character, this fic features fantastic world-building (especially for Tatooine), a very well-written BDSM relationship, an exploration of "religious"/cultural trauma and recovery, and a nuanced look at Mandalorian culture and politics. This fic has one of my fave portrayals of both Din and Boba, and I just cannot recommend it enough.

13) Why Not's and How To's by @trixree Obi-Wan Kenobi/Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi/Clone Troopers, Rated E, 54k+ words (on-going).

Honestly, all I needed to know about this fic was that it’s a “Legally Blonde AU” and I was SOLD. While not following the plot of Legally Blonde, Obi-Wan definitely carries the energy of Elle Woods in this fic. In an AU where Obi-Wan left the Jedi on Melidaan and eventually becomes a lawyer and Darth Maul is never cut down on Naboo (and picks up Anakin along the way), this fic follows both the build-up of Maul and Obi-Wan’s relationship and also Obi-Wan’s attempt to help the clones gain their rights in the Republic. This fic is very fun, and takes an interesting approach to the whole “fixing the Star Wars” fic plot.

14) efface the footprints in the sands by @blackkatmagic Rex/Agen Kolar/Kix, Rated M, 78k+ words (on-going).

🥺🥺Efface the footprints, my love… Not even finished, and already a comfort fic for me, this fic follows Agen Kolar as he takes over Anakin’s battalion when Anakin faces charges for his slaughter of the Tuskens. He must not only deal with a distraught Captain and Padawan, but a mysterious and dangerous creature lurking in the deep. I love the hurt/comfort in this fic, and the whole atmosphere of the planet and characters really lends itself to the drama of it all. Cannot rec this one enough!!

[image description: three full color digital paintings of benrey and gordon from hlvrai, all from the thighs up. benrey is a short, fat, pale man with freckles and shoulder length, messy dark hair. his nails and teeth are long and sharp, and his pupils are thin like a cats. he also has a long, thin tail with blue fur at the end. gordon is a taller, medium brown-skinned man with long brown hair in a pony tail, glasses, and a goatee.

first image: gordon, dressed in the HEV suit, stands in front of benrey, wearing the black mesa security uniform and helmet. gordon is holding a red crowbar in one hand, the other out in front of benrey protectively. he looks frustrated, rolling his eyes. benrey’s expression is mostly deadpan, but he’s smirking. he has a hand on gordon’s outstretched arm. a word bubble by his head contains a screenshot of a tumblr post by @gayarsonist, reading “bro quit shielding me from danger with your body you’re going to make the audience think we’re gay”.

second image: gordon, dressed in a green tank top and jeans, has benrey, in a red hoodie, jeans, and a pale blue chullo hat, pressed up against a wall. gordon’s right hand, pointing at benrey like he’s lecturing, is a grey and white prosthetic. gordon once again looks frustrated, while benrey looks amused and is blushing slightly. his visible eye is glowing orange. a word bubble by his head contains a screenshot of a second tumblr post by gayarsonist, reading “brooooo i’m serious stop pushing me up against the wall when you confront me about how reckless and foolish i am don’t you realize how homoerotic that looks”.

third image: gordon, dressed in a yellow t-shirt with a ripped sleeve and jeans, his hair no longer tied back, hugs benrey tightly. benrey is wearing a dark blue shirt with the visible sleeve torn to shreds. the rip on gordon’s shirt exposes a bleeding cut on his arm, and there is a similar gash visible on benrey’s arm. benrey’s hand is colored a darker black color, that fades into grey and then back to his normal skin tone as it travels up his arm. benrey’s ear is visible, and it is inhuman, long and fluffy and a similar grey color to his arm. numerous black eyes are visible across his skin, and his main visible eye is wide and crying. grey shadows stretch up behind the pair, with more bright orange eyes among them illuminating the pair. a word bubble stretching to benrey contains a final screenshot of a tumblr post by gayarsonist, reading “no bro don’t offer to follow me wherever i may go even to the ends of the earth that’s so gay haha…” end description]

brooo quit making our enemies to lovers story line so gay, youre makin me blush
