[popczykpisarz]

Evan Rosier is so french you don't understand.

[thebluebafoon]

I had a phase where i was crazy obsessed over fanfics and would read them 24/7. Stressed? Ao3. Sad? Ao3. Happy? Ao3. Bored at school? Ao3. Have nothing to do at home? Ao3. Eat? Ao3. At an event? Ao3. Studying? Ao3. Doing homework? Ao3. Sleep? No, Ao3.

[noname-nonartist]

Guess who’s rereading one of their favorite P5 fanfic?

I ammmmmm~

The fic is called “marigolds” by colbub, it’s basically a Goro Akechi redemption-time travel-persona series crossover fic. Oh, and it’s a juicy slow burn AkeShu fic too~ ;D

This is basically Goro with one of his awaken shiny persona, Raguel! (OG design of Raguel belongs to @keylimesiren, it be so cool! I hope I did it justice! >x<;)

[hotdogcabbagesausage]

the way i actually have to write my fic for it to be written is crazy

[maelstrom-of-emotions]

Could you recommend some SasuNaru fics?

SASUNARU FIC RECS

Alright, so here's a collection of some of my favorite, re-read worthy SasuNaru fics of all time. The list is bound to expand, but for now, we have these gems.

i'll let it grow wild in my veins by thunderpoint

Summary:

“That’s good, right?” He feels somewhat out of his mind. It's a rush he's not used to, something he doesn't particularly like, and it leaves him wondering if this is what he should have felt when this whole thing first started. “When your future brother-in-law says shit like that it means that he approves of you, right? Fuck, I’m getting married to Uchiha Itachi’s little brother, Shika. What the fuck-” Shikamaru’s face twists, “Naruto-” The kitchen door bursts open, and Temari steps into the living room, gaping at them both. “Naruto’s getting married?"

Status: Currently Ongoing, 10/?

Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Arranged Marriage, Slow Burn.

Thoughts: One of the best arranged marriage fics ever, the writing is amazing and out of this world, and if you haven't read this masterpiece what are you even doing with your life?

2. everybody knows that you cradle the sun by Lyxxie

Summary:

“Y’know—before mom passed—she used to tell me about my dad. She'd tell me the kind of person you wanted to end up with, someone you kept around. She'd tell me about opposites, about calming the other one down and bringing them back up, about how they'd do the same for you. She'd say that you wanted someone who remembered things about you, not just the big stuff. Mundane shit that doesn't need to be remembered, but they do anyway. She'd say 'keep those who chronicle your life because it's theirs, too'." OR: Naruto challenges Sasuke to a game of “who knows the other person better.” Sasuke panics when he realizes that he might be the winner because what in the actual fuck does that mean? He doesn’t know. Naruto tells him.

4. It's All In The Kiss (And Bondage) by Dhampir (Dhampire)

Sasuke never looked at Naruto as anything more than an annoyance like all his other peers, but a kiss, and a little bondage, is about to change all that. Reddit Crack Fic Idea: After getting kissed in the academy and then attacked and tied up by Naruto, Sasuke realizes he has followed all the steps of the traditional Uchiha ninja courtship(An old process inspired by the kidnapping of a rival clan kunoichi). Sasuke feels really touched and starts acting like a Yandere, being really nice to Naruto in his withdrawn way and getting really mad whenever someone says something bad about Naruto.

5. you and me, that's my whole world by cloudyheaven

Summary:

“If you wanted me to be your Valentine this bad, you could’ve just said so,” Naruto said. The cheeky grin he was giving him made Sasuke want to kiss him again just to wipe it off his face. However, he wasn’t one to waste a good opportunity. “That’s exactly what I want,” he said, matter-of-factly. The grin fell off Naruto’s face. “Shit, are you serious?” The one where Naruto and Sasuke have been in an unofficial friends-with-benefits arrangement for months, completely unaware of their feelings for each other.

6. wear my heart on your sleeve by cloudyheaven

Summary:

Sasuke coughed into his hand and simply looked down at his ass. Naruto followed his gaze and found another uchiwa sown on his left buttcheek. “Oh, this is ridiculous,” he said. “Wait, is this why people have been looking at my ass so much lately?!” He turned to look at his boyfriend again. “Is this why you have been staring at it more than normal?!” Sasuke simply avoided his gaze again. “Not like I need an excuse to look at your ass.” Or, how possessive boyfriend Uchiha Sasuke found a way to mark Naruto and make it sociably acceptable.

No, that’s worse.

Thoughts: These idiots, I love 'em to death.

Sasuke can't sleep, which, even after the war, is pretty typical.

Or it can leave you alone and miserable… or dead. What I have here in front of you are the cards that show what lies at the end of each broad road.” There's a festival in Konoha, and Sasuke and Sakura visit a fortune telling booth.

Status: Complete, 2/2.

Thoughts: Simply adorable, from start to finish.

40. Unrequited: sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't by KizuKatana

Summary:

Naruto hates to hurt people's feelings. So when Hinata puts him on the spot about dating her, he doesn't want to come straight out and tell her he doesn't like her that way. Instead, he comes up with a poorly thought out idea to tell her he is dating someone already. All he needs to do to convince her is to show her a photo of the guy. He just needs to get a picture of someone so ridiculously hot she will know it's hopeless. He actually has someone in mind, a guy he'd had a one-sided thing for from his gym. Although, the guy is sort of an ass and probably wouldn't agree to posing for a picture. Naruto decides to ask him anyway. What's he got to lose?

Tags: Fluff, Unrequited Love Or Is It?, Humor, Cute.

Status: Completed, 1/1

Thoughts: Absolute blast, had a lot of fun reading this!

Aight, that's it for now.

"The author regrets nothing" is possibly the most terrifying tag you could see on Ao3

[alwaysquestioneverything]

Questions about fanfiction that I need everyone else's opinion on, apparently (part 1)

An epithet is a descriptive term/phrase accompanying or used in place of a person/place/thing's name or pronouns, e.g. the blonde or the older man.

Note: In the poll above, I'm not referring to any of these types of epithets or other uses of the word:

An descriptor accompanying a name, e.g. Howard the Duck

Where surnames do not exist/are not being used, using adjectives to differentiate between people with the same name, e.g. Peter the Celestial-Human hybrid vs. Peter the spiderling.

A descriptor that is a title or alter-ego, e.g. The Mad Titan or The Hulk.

Using an epithet to refer to a character before the POV character knows their name, e.g. if Sam Wilson were to refer to Steve Rogers as The Annoying Guy Who's Running Impossibly Fast and/or Mister Speedy before he realizes who Steve is.

Situations where the word is used in its alternative meaning, to describe an abusive, derogatory, or defamatory word or phrase.

I'm asking only about the types of epithets that are often found in fanfics, and in slash fics in particular, to refer to a character instead of using their name or pronouns.

For example: "The first time Bucky began this phase, Steve didn’t know what to do, how to help the other man. Bucky’s therapist gave Steve a list of things he could do to help the blue-eyed man to ground himself in reality, but the one and only time the blond tried..."

Or: "The supersoldier stopped mid-word and stared at Bucky. The older man did some quick thinking then said..."

(because I didn't want to use any other published fics as an example, the above two examples are taken from two of my own published fics, and names or pronouns were replaced with epithets) (if you're not a Marvel or MCU fan, my apologies for using all MCU characters for the examples)

I personally don't like epithets for multiple reasons.

If you specifically do or don't like epithets, I'd love to hear why!

Please reblog for greater reach and more opinions!

So I’m having fun with this fic instead. Obviously, I don’t know any more than anybody else, so going forward, a lot of the time I guess I’ll just have to wing it, which is a new experience for me as well but I’m excited. I’m writing this more for me than anybody else but thought I’d share it nonetheless 🫶🏼

Star Trek Fandoms in 2022 on AO3

It’s January: time to udpate my colourful graphs from last year.

2022 showed a 20% increase in the overall Star Trek universe compared with 2021, with nearly 13,000 updated fics in 2022. Despite that increase, 6 fandoms went backwards compared with 2021. Voyager (for the first time since 2015), Discovery and the AOS (Kelvin Timeline) Movies (about 12-15% each) were the main fandoms in regress. The main increases were DS9, Picard and Strange New Worlds.

Among the TV shows only, TOS has regained its 2nd place, maybe due to crossovers with Strange New Worlds, while Voyager has declined to 3rd place. DS9 continues its strong growth. Picard and Discovery show their usual ups and downs due to airing dates, while Strange New Worlds is already showing its mettle for a show which only aired for 10 episodes in the middle of the year.

The fragmentation of the ST fandom continues. In 2022, the ST fandom was more or less evenly divided between the AOS movies (Kelvin timeline), the Original Series (TOS) and the three TV shows which followed in the ‘80s and ‘90s: Next Gen, DS9 and Voy. That fragmentation has been going on for some time, following the consistent decline of the AOS Movies. The more recent series: Disco, Picard and SNW now form the largest portion of the fandom at >20% together. Then come the older movies and newer cartoons, <6% altogether. Note: The graphs above exclude crossovers with non-ST fandoms, but include crossovers within the ST universe.

hey what mental disorder is listening to mitski and reading klance fanfic at nearly 4 in the morning

parents!wolfstar mini story 1k fluff fem!sirius

Remus loves to run his fingers through it.

It's curly, some days extremely curly and others just wavy. The way Sirius styles it.

She has always tried to grow her hair long and has avoided hairdressers since she moved in with the Potters at 16.

Remus loves to braid Sirius' hair and create the most beautiful hairstyles.

Teddy also loves to style his curls. They have the same stubborn curls as Remus. Teddy likes to experiment with colours, but they never wanted it longer than their chin.

So Sirius was all the more pleased that Stella, their daughter, loves growing her black hair just as much as her mum.

Stella has the same black hair as Sirius.

For some years now, Sirius has favoured expressing her femininity through her hair. They are incredibly important to her and she only allows the most expensive and best hairdressers to work on it and only ever to cut the ends.

Mary set up her own hairdressing business two years ago and even in her apprenticeship, everyone had to put up with it, everyone except Sirius.

Lily only let Mary cut it, but everyone else had to suffer.

Teddy and Mary love to play with their curls together and try out new things.

Peter, James and Remus have had to put up with everything from the weirdest hairstyles to the most hideous colours.

For a (very short) time, Remus had the sides cut short and his locks dyed pink. Mary wanted to give it a try. What his students found particularly funny.

James had to grow his hair long so that Mary could practise better with his hair texture.

Peter, with his blonde hair, was the colour experiment.

Lily had to have her long red hair cut into a bob, she also had fringes and extreme layers.

Dorcas had the best time, Mary was good with her afro and practised, but the worst thing was three months of purple hair.

Emmeline wouldn’t allow her hair for a long time. She wouldn't give up her long black hair for anything in the world. But in the end, she couldn't resist her fiancée either.

Emmy ended up with slight bangs and layers, as well as purple streaks, later green and currently blue.

Marlene was her favourite to practise. From the time Mary started her apprenticeship to the present day, Marlene really has had it all. Any colour, any hairstyle.

Long, short, bangs, layers, buzz cuts, blonde, brown, black, white, purple, colourful, blue, green and everything in between.

But Sirius never let her touch her hair. In all those years, she wasn't even allowed to cut their tips.

Remus knows that Sirius isn't quite so worried about Stella's hair and that's why Mary is coming to cut it today.

But all he knew was that Mary wanted to cut Stella's hair a little shorter. That was all he knew.

Remus was all the more surprised when he came home this Thursday.

He opens the front door and immediately hears ABBA and smells cinnamon and chocolate.

"Daddy!" little mini-Sirius shouts and comes running towards him with his arms outstretched. He immediately wraps his arms around his daughter.

Her previously long black hair now curls around her head, around her ears and stops before her shoulders.

A pink hair clip holds back her curls so that they don't fall into her eyes.

"Look!", the little toddler jumps up and down excitedly and points to her hair. "Mary did this! Now I look like Teddy!"

Giggling, she runs back into the living room, from where Mary and Sirius' voices can be heard.

"Dad!" Teddy appears in front of him out of nowhere. Teddy's previously turquoise hair is now a little shorter and a different colour.

"I've got the Bi Flag on my head!" they announce just as proudly as their little sister. Laughing, they run their fingers through their curls. "Looks cool." As he passes, Remus gives his child a kiss on the head.

Nobody could have prepared him for what awaits him in the living room.

Mary is clearing away her scissors and his wife turns to Remus.

Sirius.

Sirius has had her hair cut.

Remus stands still, frozen. He just blinks for a few seconds.

Sirius has a bob. A bob and bangs. She's had light bangs before, but now she has a full on mom-bob.

"Hi, babe," she greets him, coming up to Remus. "Your hair“, that's all he can get out. It's been over twenty years since he's seen Sirius with hair this short.

"You look like a mom."

Giggling, Sirius presses her lips to Remus' and without thinking about it, he returns the kiss. "That could be because I am one."

Mary proudly crosses her arms and stands next to Sirius. She shakes her head slightly and runs her fingers through her now short hair.

"Do you like it?"

Let's be honest, Sirius could be bold and be the most beautiful person in the world, so Remus really doesn't care about hair.

but

"Yes," Remus breathes out, swallowing hard. His children are here, God damn it! Get a grip, he tells himself.

The length emphasises Sirius' face shape and makes her look really grown up, but also cheeky. And Remus loves his children, more than anything else in this world. But right now, he'd rather they were anywhere but home.

Sirius has never looked so hot. She always looks hot, but just now Remus has fallen in love with her all over again.

Grinning, she turns to Mary and winks at her.

"Good!" Mary announces loudly, "then finally the father of the family."

Quicker than Remus can say "hair", he's sitting in the chair and Mary has her scissors in her hands again. "And do you like the way I've done your family's hair?"

His family.

Remus' heart beats faster every time he thinks about the fact that these three wonderful people are his family. "Yes."
