So I still don’t know how to use this app so let me know if I did this right or if I was to use the comment bubble (😂) and sorry for the delay. I’ll post more fics later (there are some classics that are just incredible like Do Not Collect by Linzackles and a number of lengthy AUs that I read over and over), but on my journey to read every GG fic posted from the very first one, I just reread Beautiful Wreckage for the umpteenth time. Really enjoy this fic, set post S2 finale. https://archiveofourown.org/works/19160743

Do you have any fic recs? Something current or something old? I don't care at this point. I ran out of things to read ages ago.

I’ll be honest, Anon, I haven’t been reading a whole ton lately. Definitely having trouble keeping up with longer-running works. But I always try to check for new updates or new posted works. So most of these you’ve probably already seen. But in case you haven’t:

I’ve been very much enjoying the individual works of merelyafigment whose blog I for some reason can’t tag and who’s new to GG fic writing but isn’t new to writing in general, which is apparent in their style and proficiency. Their Brio characterization is really spot on and the latest work has some very decadently slow-building, super hot smut.

@joeyjoeylee has a new fic, did you see, Anon??? Is it Your Move or Mine. Where Brio play their usual games while playing an actual game of chess. Again, perfect characterization, as well as very visually accurate descriptions of that unspoken Brio magic where the silences are as loud (or louder) than their words.

Are you already reading @akg40 ‘s Wreck My Plans, That’s My Man? I’m definitely invested in this one. Onlyfans AU that’s funny and sexy and charming with the Brio banter and pining and jealousy. It’s such a lighthearted and enjoyable read. And I like the way it incorporates canonic aspects while keeping true to the original concept.

@faceless-inthecrowd ’s “Taco Bell Series” (how funny is that name) is a series of soft Brio one-shots as inspired by quotes on Taco Bell taco sauce packets. It’s a light read and good for the warm and fuzzies.

Literally anything by @littleengine74 is a joy to read, but I was particularly excited by their newest one-shot Is This Seat Taken. I’m always a fan of clever structures and this fic delivers so well! An unreliable narration that explores the traumas between Brio in a way only they would – hidden in shadow and pretending not to be pretending. 10/10.

@battlfofendorr has a few introspective one-shots from various POVs up on AO3. I like their style of prose, in particular. It’s such an interesting way to explore Brio, and much more beautiful than I could aspire to write. There isn’t plot, but a fantastic practice of character study. If you like being inside Brio’s heads like I do, I recommend you try these.

@abi1821 , can you reblog with more recommendations? Maybe some longer pieces for someone to really sink their teeth into? You know them all. 😁❤️❤️❤️

Fave gg fanfic writers and why?

Ouuuuh, let me check my AO3 subscriptions, anon!! *cracking knuckles*

So here we go (not in any particular order). Basically my ‘why’s are either angst or crack since that’s what I run on. My apologies to fluff writers, it’s not personal ❤️

elisewrites @elise-jupiterstyle Why: One of the best fanfic writers in this fandom in my humble opinion. Gorgeous writing style, on-point POV characterization, amazing dynamic, dark and poetic settings, and ANGST. Like, a lot.

riosnecktattoo @riosnecktattoo Why: Queen of burlesque!Brio (Beth falling down the piano while trying to look sexy in Heart and soul is a picture that will haunt me for all eternity) but also master of angst and weird obscure kinks that are for some reason my jam (I’m still waiting for this brainplay sequel to beheading, Tay! 🧠🧠)

s_t_c_s @sothischickshe Why: Such a very unique voice and style, bizarre ideas that oddly make sense, delightful humour, hilarious POVs based on the objective fact that Beth and Rio are complete idiots. Also amazing angst when she decides to go down that route.

fireinsideforfun Why: Look. Look. A rational choice is literally the reason why I’m (still) here.

EnsignDisaster @betterhomesandhobbits Why: Absolute crackfic Master! Proper skincare had me howling, and don’t even get me started on the genius that is The goodest boy. One of the funniest writers in this fandom

convolutedConcussion @johnisntevendead Why: It’s just perfection. Humour, characterization, crankiness, lunacy, EVERYTHING, I’m telling you!

MissMaxime @missmaxime Why: One of the most creative writers in this fandom. An abiility to craft extremely cinematic phrasings and hilarious lines that I’m extremely jealous of. Oh, and see also: ANGST. Will I ever stop rambling about Ain’t no sunshine? Probably not.

Niham87 Why: Extremely gorgeous prose, original and funny AUs that I hope will be continued one day, great characterizations and stellar smut.

femalegothic @femalegothic / @bethsuglywigs Why: S M U T. Amazing outsiders POVs. But also a lot of humour and responsible sex pro-tips in the author’s notes.

whiskeyjack @whiskeyjack Why: I’m basically taking an English vocabulary class every time this woman posts something. Metaphors. See also: realistic and physically-rooted depiction of traumas and injuries  u n l i k e  a certain show

septiembre @septiembrre​ Why: Ugh, where do I start??? Amazing characterizations and voices, great writing style, in-character romance, fluttering moments between two stubborn idiots that will make you pull your hair in sobbing frustration and be like “uuuuuuugh! Why are they like this?”

fondful @fondful Why: Dark and poetic writing. Desperate mood. Aaaangst. Or you know... completely random and hilarious bagel AU where people craft penis-shaped embroideries, I mean, you can never know what will come out!

[elise-jupiterstyle]

i don’t know about everyone else but i feel like we’re in woefully short supply of fics featuring rio’s night art classes. let’s change that.

[elisewrites]

//

There was once a girl who was so afraid.

She clutched on to her imaginary friends as if they were her last.

She worried about tripping all over herself, on the wild goose chase for her dreams

She feared the ceilings would rattle if she as much as stood up.

//

Above all else, she was petrified that the world would one day discover her fears.

[00gangfriend00]

elisewrites, s_t_c_s, and femalegothic for the writers ask if you're still doing this one 💖💖

Of course I am still doing it! I love to talk about other authors.

these are tough ones!! ahhh

elisewrites @elise-jupiterstyle

THE HOURS BETWEEN DAWNS !! I started reading this and was like rio popping up genie style and a trip to canada? im in. then it was like tense business deal? I’m double in. HURT COMFORT? TRIPLE IN!!! now its just a favourite of mine full stop. Its so good!!

s_t_c_s  @sothischickshe

uhhhhhhhhhhhhgggggg i dont KNOW. I like them all. I really do.  Let’s go with drugs (tonight) because I re-read it recently and loveed it just as much if not maybe more than before.  It just really creates a whole mood for you to sink into. 

femalegothic @bethsuglywigs

my favourite smut author. I have yet to scream into the comments for American Money mostly because I think I am still blushing, and its been a COUPLA days since I read it. 

G wagon? so good.

A moments silence? I mean who doesn’t love a fic about my favourite marvel superhero. 

I am gonna go with Post Break Up Sex  because there is just something about this imaginaing of younger beth/rio that is so TRUE. Her stubbornness, his brashness, their bathroom break in another dean-being-a-dingdong universe. I love it to pieces.

fic rec bingoooo! how about a cathartic fic, a comfort fic, and a [squints] FREE SPACE? 💕

Why did I play this game??? So for the record, I am and will be extremely tempted to answer to ANY category with A Rational Choice lol! Show some self-restraint, Julia...

A cathartic fic Rio Speaks His Mind by IGotTime, especially the first chapter. It's what it says on the tin. Literally sounds like my mind a few months ago lol

A comfort fic I actually don't re-read much because there are already so many new things to read, the only fic I have been consistently re-reading is, ahem, A Rational Choice, but since I’m trying to rec something else, here, have My Shadow as Company by elisewrites @elise-jupiterstyle because it’s hot and twisted and dark and angsty, and... yeah, that’s what comfort is, isn’t it? Well at least it is MY definition of a comfort fic, do I tell you how to live your life? Jesus...

A Free Space I guess that means I can rec anything in there, right? So did I tell you about A Rational Choice yet Tell No Tales by @riosnecktattoo ? Yes, it’s the Fisherman AU that nobody I asked for and it’s amazing and absolutely not weird, shhhhh don’t listen to Tay...

fic rec bingo

#and some that i’ve been yelled at a lot for not reading yet convolutedConcussion?! mintletters16?! I JUST WANNA TALK

okay FOR THE RECORD I am not COMPLETELY hopeless. @inyoursheets has been reccing mintletters16 to me since I think like, 5 min after I joined the fandom and for excellent reasons because I (finally) read all their stuff and am OBSESSED.

convolutedConcussion is on the list okay???!!! marching orders received!!! i did read weed and philosophy after the​ g o r g e o u s fanart for it went around so may I have one (1) point please? also @nickmillerscaulk has been reccing elisewrites to me for AGES and I am actively embarrassed that I haven’t gotten there yet. I’M TRYING!!!! MY MARKED FOR LATER LIST IS INTENSE!!!!!!!

[elise-jupiterstyle]

the one-shot is FINALLY DONE. give it a read over on ao3! 
 now I have to go watch last week’s episode so I can watch this week’s episode because it feels like I’ve been living under a rock.

[elisewrites]

Friends

One of those days that I feel really blessed that I have who I have in my life right now. Friends who take their time out to help you even when they don't have to. And just..people in general willing to go that extra mile for you. Sometimes I think, what have I done to deserve such kindness. Further reminder to myself, to pass these on. The world is good. God is good. Grateful :)

“December’s were endings, November’s were goodbyes. Even though this was the start of November it felt different. Right now, with Liam Jacobs felt like a hello, like a beginning. Liam had been another discomfort added into an already uncomfortable class, but now Carmen wasn’t so sure he was just that. In fact, Liam could maybe be a comfort except Carmen was so determined to make sure he wasn’t ever going to be that.” - Liam & Carmen; co-written by Julianna H and Elise K.
