#elscol x iella

[jayaorgana]

It probably does effect my perception of Iella and Elscols relationship that in several of their scenes I was imagining them just giving eachother a little kiss to punctuate the conversation. Like they were gay as hell in that book but it definetly is not as much if you don't imagine them actively kissing in a bunch of the scenes.

welcome back to my absolute pool noodle of a ship! Elscol and Iella deserve that holiday together and they'll have it if I have to write it myself

[podfic of] Untranslatable by 13th_blackbird | Star Wars: Thrawn | Thrawn/Eli Vanto

trying to do Thrawn’s deep voice destroyed my throat but it was extremely worth it (also my Italian ass did Eli’s accent and I deserve some cookies for this). also the fic is hot as all hells. even if you don’t listen to the podfic, go read the fic, because it’s good stuff

stole our new lives | Saint Seiya | Dragon Shiryu/Pegasus Seiya 

absolutely no one is going to care about this Saint Seiya Omega (not that Omega, this one is... the power of love? i guess?)/Knights of the Zodiac ficled but by the gods i love it to bits. the heroes who were 13 and 14 (like all good shonen manga heroes) in the original series are now pushing 40, and a little bitter and sad. (did i mention that StS dug up my love for angst like whoa? or maybe it was 2020, who knows)

[podvid] ‘like’ it or not by shortcrust | The Witcher | Geralt/Jaskier

first of all this is a multivoice and everyone in it was amazing, and I had no part whatsoever in the editing. i read Jaskier’s part with (hopefully) suitable enthusiasm. modern au, twitter fic, hilarity.

[fic & podfic] If the Heavens Ever Did Speak | Historical RPF | William Shakespeare/Christopher Marlowe

look. look. this fic. this damned fic had been in my drafts for literal YEARS.  and now i’m freeeee. also there’s an amazing podfic of it by TheLordOfLaMancha/fishchipsandvinegar, which you can find here.

“I could kiss the lips that uttered my verses so perfectly,” he whispered, “Who is this new stage wonder?" William bowed with a flourish and took off his feathered hat. "William Shakespeare, at your service." The man looked him up and down. "Is that so?"

[podfic of] war stories by TheAceApples/aces-to-apples | Star Wars: Clone Wars | Fives, Rex, others

a snapchat fic in which the 501st, the 212th and their jedi get up to Shenanigans.

the only way we know we’re alive | Star Wars: X-Wing series | Iella Wessiri/Elscol Loro

i wrote femslash!! and i straight up made up the pairing (or, well, maybe someone in the 90s put a fic about them in a zine, but unfortunately i can’t know these juicy stories). i am proud of the fact that i went and wrote it, even if it’s short and very niche. i met these characters, vibed with them and did a thing! without postponing it to a nebulous future moment!

(also i never know who likes these games and who doesn’t. sorry for bothering you, if it’s not your thing!)
