tell me about the timeloop! i love a timeloop!

That's one of my caps rookies fic! The first sentence of my plan for it is "Hendrix Lapierre gets stuck in a timeloop and has to deal with Feelings" which about sums it up i think.

The whole idea is that Laps wakes up in a timeloop but the catch is this isn't the first timeloop he's been in, he got stuck in one before during his rookie years which he solved by winning his first game back from injury so he assumes he can solve this one with Hockey as well. Surprise!! It's actually about his feelings for one (1) Connor McMichael, who funnily enough, is acting differently from loop to loop. Wonder why that is.

Here's an excerpt from it under the cut:

Hendrix is getting really tired of waking up alone. That first night the empty bed felt awful out of guilt, anger about the situation, the argument, but now it just feels lonely. He’s gotten spoiled when he’s been called up, living with Connor at home and ending up in the same bed as him more often than not on roadtrips. 

Now he wakes up cold, without spiky hair pressing into his neck and solid line of a six foot hockey player pressed up against him and he misses it like an ache, more so than he did in Hershey when there was always the next callup or the offseason, however far away to look forward to. Stuck here he doesn’t have any certainty to hold on to.

Which, wait, that's not really true, this whole day is almost certain for him at this point, knowing what his teammates are going to say and do, but it’s not the certainty he wants.

Payneland/DBDA fanfic recs

I'm celebrating 200 fics (yes I keep count, I'm a nerd) and over a million words read in these 3 months of dbd 🎉🎉🎉

SO here are a few of my all time favorites (trying not to mention too many of the already very known ones):

Joi de Vivre, by olympus_mons

my very first fave, explores Edwin's longing so so well. And the ending, bittersweet and so loving, uGH I LOVE THEM

---

wanted to be something (you couldn't put down), by Ink_stained_quills

also one of the firsts, so very well written and great feelings realization with a bit of misunderstanding to make it sweet

---

Of a youth who loves me, by Aliquis

ok yes this series is pretty famous but I can't just not mention it. it's so sweet and tender and aAAAAAAAaaa. just go read it. just go.

---

job officially jobbed, by vernesatlas

e-rated, so it's +18 only! canon divergent and really just the right fic to follow up the handjob comment. as simple as that. I needed it deep in my bones and it's so fucking hot

---

The Most Tender Place In My Heart, by coloursflyaway

also famous, although not as much as some of the others by the same author, but this is the best one in my opinion. the way edwin is open about his feelings here, the memories painting the whole picture, the way you can see charles working things out, it's so beautiful

---

dulcet tones of broken bones, by gremlininthemachine

this one HURTS. it's a lot of angst, let me tell you that. it feels very true to Edwin's character. mind the tags if there's anything you feel is too much for you. I cried several times. it was amazing. the ending is hopeful, but not entirely conclusive, as there might be a sequel coming on. ALSO it's not really payneland centric, but anyway it was maybe the most emotional any fic has made me in a long time

---

the ghost of the past that you live in, by ObsessedWithFandom

EXPLORING CHARLES' BISEXUALITY YESSSS I wanted something like this so much! really liked how it was played out, how each experience puzzled itself into his identity. the OCs are great. really lovely all around

---

Who? You mean your teammate in the Codependency World Cup?, by RoseGanymede95

this is also a series and I still haven't read the unfinished ones, but the first two are amazing. those are case fics through and through, pre-canon, and I just LOVE their dynamic even if not explicitly romantic, and also the cases themselves and how Charles acts and UGH EVERYTHING, really highly recommend these

---

Nothing Left to Hide, by RoseGanymede95

listen this person is incredible what can I say. this is a very needed unpacking of hell's aftermath, mostly about how Charles is doing after seeing what he saw. it's a big hurt/comfort on this one. big on both. ugh so good

Well there's that. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

[writerofstuff]

Love your writings for Dead Boy Detectives! Do you have any fic recs? I need somethings to read while I wait for your next update.

Hello dear Anon! Thank you so much, that means a lot. And yes, oh yes, do I have some recs for you!

1. The Scenic Route by DontOffendTheBees (the one where Edwin Goes On A Train), and also Outside Looking In by the same author (the one where the boys have a heart-to-heart in their human disguises, as observed by an actual curious human), simply because @dont-offend-the-bees write Charles and Edwin so very well. Charles, especially: I am in love with how they voice him, how they catch the very core of his language and mannerisms, and I shall be recommending their stories to everyone, all the time, every chance I get.

2. A Heaven Like They Talk About by LikeMmmCookies. Charles and Edwin, while facing off yet another witch, are cursed to become human again. This means: human bodies, human weaknesses, and Charles having a Tiny Breakdown every time Edwin drifts too close to him. Rated M, this fic is cleverly structured and amazingly written. If you're in the mood for some good plot and thick pining and intimacy, look no further.

3. Of a youth who loves me by Aliquis (@riceinthechurch). I'll in fact recommend their entire series here, but even as a standalone, this story stayed with me for a long time after. It is Charles, treading the waters of love and guilt and religion. It is him, willing to sacrifice everything to make sure Edwin never has to go back to Hell again. It is beautiful.

4. dumb of heart by bananzie. Something cute and sweet about Charles falling in love with Edwin through five different touches, plus the one time he realised magic wasn't too bad as well. If you're looking for something soft and lovely and romantic, this might just lift your spirits!

I actually have quite a few more recs, if you've already read all of these here! You can find more brilliant dbda stories from my bookmarks list here! If you haven't read these before, I really hope you enjoy; all these authors are absolutely wonderful, and I find myself returning to these stories again and again. Thank you again for your ask, dear Anon! I hope you have a lovely day! ♡

2 get 2 rec'd (get rec'd 2)

get rec'd week 2 is here!!!! I feel like I didn't read a lot of fic this week because. well. i was very tired and doing stuff, and also work was crazy. but i did read some new fics or reread some favorites, so it's not nothing!

if you read & like these fics, consider leaving a kudos or comment for the author.

i would stay forever (if you say don't go) by overturned goal

quinn hughes / elias petterson, E, 5110 words

the OTHER petey / quinn fake dating fic that i read and loved, but hannukah flavored this time. also they're fwb, and i just. this fic is just sooo full of the kind of angst that comes with FWB that i absolutely adore!

take it easy on me by @yamball (thepaperdolls on ao3)

vince dunn / adam larsson, E, 5655

a D/s AU where Vince needs a team-Dom, and Adam doesn't want to be just that. This fic is soo lovely. It balances the in the room stuff with the private subbing really well for my taste. I really had a good time reading it.

mountain sound by aliquis

jonas siegenthaler / nico hischier, E, 14,823

a mindscape au where Jonas creates mindscapes for Nico. this is such a unique au! I've never seen one like it, and it was sooo fun to read. the twist is too good to reveal in a summary, but it is just SO good, and well foreshadowed.

when you find out by @nymhciv (same username on ao3)

connor mcdavid / leon draisaitl, E, 10,779

a beer league connor has an only fans AU. I am NOT going to lie to you, this was a comfort re-read for me. Connor is just so into being perceived (unrelatable) and leon is just so into looking at him. Not to mention Matthew Tkachuk facilitating Connor & Leon getting together this fic is just. pacha meme.

[princess-of-the-corner]

There’s also this bit. (Fic Snip - The Time Twins and the Lonesome Ogre)

Yanmega nodded as energy started flowing up the tendrils he'd injected into Almighty and into his body. "Yeah! I'm feeling energized already! There's so much power here…" He blinked, beginning to wobble in the air. "Maybe… Too much…"

Kieran blinked. "What?"

"No… I don't understand…" Yanmega rasped. "This power… It's more than any one Pokémon could have accumulated in a lifetime! It's like a power that has been cultivated across generations, passed down from hero to hero, stockpiling strength across time as the torch is passed from one champion to the next!"

Kieran stared. "No, seriously, what?"

"That's right! The power of a hero's heart… Is INFINITE!" Almighty declared, flexing his muscles and deliberately pumping even more energy into Yanmega, who cried out and was sent flying back, the cords connecting them severing.

"Really, WHAT?!" Kieran yelled.

"… When did this turn into an anime?" Aliquis wondered.

"I think it always was," Hohma replied.

[33max]

It’s my first fic rec friday where I’ll post about my favourite fics that I’ve read this week! I was inspired by the lovely @fourmula1 to do this, and what better way for me to spread my love of fic than shouting about each one on the internet!

a bodyswap story by @toastandvegemite

Bean’s comment: I might be a little bias with this one because Danni and I chatted about this and oh my goodness it came to life in a beautiful ficlet! It’s not your average bodyswap fic at all, it’s engaging and a little dive into family relationships too!

all yous are good by @burnishedvictory

Bean’s comment: Again, I might be a little bias because I may have specifically asked Anna if Little Max is something she would consider… and she did!!!! But this is 12,000 words towards healing your inner child, and I am so obsessed. I’m so glad it’s become a series!

one for the money, two for the show by anonymous

Bean’s comment: I was obsessed with the world building in this from pretty much the first paragraph! Heist Au!!!! I am always super impressed by authors that have a lot of characters introduced very quickly, but manage to keep it controlled and not overwhelming! This is going to be really juicy… I can tell!

to the victor belongs the spoils by @powerful-owl

Bean’s comment: I get into bed and put my phone on do not disturb whenever there is an update to this fic. It transports you to another world as soon as you open the new chapter. I don’t think I’ve ever read a fic that makes me want to yeet myself into the sun as much as this one does.

hard to settle, spark my shade by @33and3

Bean’s comment: I am obsessed. Every single update is a hit of serotonin. There’s so many unique details tropes and details in this fic and of course I just adore Max in it. Selfishly, I never want this fic to end!

shower thoughts by aliquis

Bean’s comment: I thought this was a really beautiful commentary on intrusive thoughts. I loved the relationship that Max and Daniel had in this and honestly I couldn’t believe it was the authors first f1 fic! It’s truly beautiful writing.

[thestrangerblog]

I've just read a wonderful Payneland fanfic - "With him I love" from Aliquis (Part 2 in a series, you should read "Of a youth who loved me" first).

In this story the boys watch Hadestown together and Charles claims he wouldn’t have turned around in Orpheus' place. Edwin disagrees.

Now I can’t get this scenario out of my head. If that would have been Charles' only way to get Edwin out of hell - Charles going in front of Edwin, not looking back, Edwin not able to speak (shouldn't be too easy), would Charles manage not to turn around? What if he heard monsters attacking Edwin? Would he be able to keep going?

I'm so obsessed with the idea, I think I won’t get it out of my head before writing a fic about it.

@riceinthechurch Would that be okay for you?

[grittyreadsfic]

today is an important day-it is nico hischier's birthday. in honor of that, here's a rec list of some top tier nico fics!

collision course by greenteam : i have said it once and I will say it again, but greenteam always puts out some of my favorite aus, and this jack/nico fic is no exception

fire and flood by pretty_vacant: the devils ferda omegaverse is actually something that can be so personally. i have read this many times, and it always slaps

i want your belly (and that summer feeling) by clementiae: ngl this nico/bratter fic is just like. next level good. nothing will beat the high of reading this for the first time

this is where we both break free by overturnedgoal: obsessed with how they write nico/jack and also y'all know i love to read fics about trans joy

blood and oil by wilderhockey: exquisite concept (cyborgs! dystopia!) and also just as exquisite dynamic and banter between jack and nico. one of my favorite nico characterizations

lionheart by aliquis: prince nico/bodyguard jonas is actually the most apt depiction of them ever. I am, in fact, fully obsessed with this. 100000/10

i knew him well by adjacently: love is stored in the kitchen and also in getting into fwb situations with a healthy does of pining. my best friend's brother by victoria justice etc etc

take my hand, wreck my plan by passengers: absolute top tier nico/nolan fic right here (to no one's surprise, since it is ao3 user passengers). there is fake dating and nico is a teacher, what else could you need?

never bet the devil your head by philtatoi: as a noted lover of all of philtatoi's work, i do really love their devils fics most of all. this one has pining AND supernatural elements-truly has it all

kiss me on the mouth (and set me free) by coastalhighway: the vibes of this jack/nico fic are absolutely incredible, and it has some of my favorite world building. spectacular!!!

take the wheel by greenteam: if u see me reccing a second greenteam fic pls mind ur business!! this jacknico street racer au is, in fact, perfection! if i could lovingly kiss this fic on the forehead i would!

(self rec disclaimer but my jack/nico college au will always be one of my favorite things i've written)

[rattkachuk]

Hey! I hope you're having a good week. Since you liked the McEichel fic recs I thought I would offer other ships! (universes? like the Marvel universe, but the Michigan extended verse).

Kent Johnson/Owen Power

Heart Rush by canary (Just totally normal best friend things. I died.)

All I Can Imagine by canary (*bites fist*

Blooming by canary

as good as gold by bropunzeling

melting into you by countthestars

the sun moves on by leavethebes (This fic made me fucking feral)

Thomas Bordeleau/Brendan Brisson

when you're young, you just run by RippingOffZeppelin (OW, OUTCH)

AHHHHH?!?! oh my god you're amazing??? literally fic recs always make me so excited thank you so much i can't wait to dive into them gkghjk

[kitnita]

Asks: 5, 6, 8, 19, 29.

5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?

ohhh i don't like to close the door on anything forever BUT the first thing i ever wanted to write for robotter came about during worlds in 2021. i outlined the whole tournament while it was going down & while i started storyboarding certain scenes during that time, i don't think that first iteration will see the light of day. like for one thing i have since super changed how i write robo, who was the pov character in that. i will never give up shouting out latvia in my fic & i'm sure at some point i will write a latvia worlds timestamp, but that first fic idea is doa.

6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?

i reread everything!! i am a serial re-reader!!! i am also so sad that ao3 is down so i can't do my usual excessively cited sources. eta after going through my downloaded fics on the books app & getting titles and authors names, if not links: þæt wæs god hláford by chevalric, michigan's in the rearview by aliquis, later's better than never by canary, odour by coffeehound91 (more recent, but super good!!), quarters halves and wholes by ladyeggplant.

8. What project(s) are you currently working on?

i just sent in my small fic for @inrareformfest late late last night, and i'm currently wrapping up my second Big Project for @notacowfest. i'm also looking over my outline & worldbuilding notes for my hbb fic so i can get that going as soon as my starsfest fic is done!! other than that: i'm slowly working on a tydel/otter fic that'll probably serve as a backdoor pilot to some eventual dellyotterkennedi throuple fic, + working on my outlines for a robotter bachelor au & an outline for a robotter fic that i expected to do for the starsfest & then realized i had too much to say to be able to get it in under the deadline w my other fills. my baseball au & timeloop fic + a robotter romcom longfic idea are the Big Outlines i've been workshopping for a couple months now, and i'm sure one of those will come up in the queue after my hbb fic w some <10k fic coming in throughout the rest of those ideas.

19. Give us a small teaser from one of your WIPs.

[frantically looking for a recent snippet from something that isn't for an imminent fest] OKAY ...... woe .......... trevorjamie supernatural perpetual wip be upon ye

29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)

Otter huffed out a little laugh over the line, but he still sounded more annoyed than amused. The part of Jason that was, despite himself, governed a little bit by alpha instincts ached for him. Jason tried to remind himself not to ache, but that didn't do anything. Otter wasn't here in the hotel with Jason anyway. What he couldn't scent couldn't hurt them. “I haven’t thought about kids, period, this much before. It sucks.” Jason rolled his head on his pillow to look over at his phone, where he could hear Otter sigh over speaker. It was a good reminder, he guessed. Jason might’ve been annoyed that what was happening to Otter was rushing the pace of their relationship — even if they’d both seemed to agree to pretend they couldn’t read between the lines of what they meant to each other. But Otter had space to be a lot more annoyed at this rushing; it was his body turning on him, making all these too-soon conversations crop up when they weren't even close enough to let their scents do all the talking. Jason dropped the attempted levity. , “I haven't either," he said, then added, maybe a little too honestly, "But, uh — I'm here to talk to you whenever you are thinking about them." "Oh yeah?" He could hear a shift in Otter's tone. All wry and breathless, like he was somewhere between touched and aroused. It hit Jason in the part of him that wasn't governed by alpha instincts but was, despite itself, governed a little by Otter. "Yeah, man," he said. "I always want you to come to me when you're feeling big stuff. That's … that's what we're here for, to each other."

a snippet i ended up cutting from if i could sink my teeth into you!

1, 7 for fic meme!

1 👍🏽 A fic you bookmarked recently

Oh, I'm going to have to admit this now: I don't bookmark fic. My memory is pretty good, so I'm usually able to find the fic I want with just. Filters on ao3, unless it's been deleted. Keeps me on my toes?

Instead I offer a fic series I read recently and really liked: All Caps by makeit_takeit - Tom Wilson/Nic Dowd and it was just. Ugh. So good. It really hit all the right buckets for me for some reason: small cock worship, rare pair, self-esteem issues (on both sides). I could read like, probably 50k more of this.

I would also recommend Lionheart by Aliquis - Jonas Siegenthaller / Nico HIschier modern royalty/bodyguard AU and UGH it’s SO GOOD.

7💯 A fic that makes you think #writergoals

Misethere by Astolat Look. I know it’s not Hockey. I know that Astolat is also a published author. But the things this fic did in the wordcount are just so. If I say economical, it’s going to sound bad, but I really mean that in the *best* way. Like. The author sets up this love potion/spell that is so effective that it drives people to die in the first like, 2000 words in such a believeable way, and then spends the rest of the story showcasing what inhuman control the person who gets *dosed* with said potion has. It’s just. It’s so good. That and, it’s a whole mystery story! And a love story! And political intrigue! all in less than 50k words.

Also, pretty much everything by my good friend Anonymous/ @himbeaux-on-ice but especially become what you’re supposed to be they have this specific way of absolutely blindsiding me with things I didn’t even know I wanted, and then describing them perfectly.

My time has COME. 

So, to be completely honest with you, there’s not much that I’ve seen. But I do have a few recs that you can hit up for your needs! I’ll put it under the cut here for you!

Let me just suggest first, because I’m trash rec my own one shot.

And You Are My Favorite Season Dmitry still can't believe he not only got to escape his living hell in Russia and get the girl. Anya is determined to show him that she's real and will go kicking and screaming before she ever leaves him.

This doesn’t get super explicit, but enough so that u know what’s gonna go DOWN, hahaha.

who else could pull it off, but me and you? by anastasianikolaevnasHe had learned quite early on in their marriage that Anastasia Nikolaevna was anything but serene like he had once thought her to be.

And this is a multichaptered fic that has a smut chapter, it’s a WIP, but it’s written by a friend of mine and she is a wonderful writer!

Willow by AliquisIn a city by the sea, Anya and Dmitry find their footing.

I hope that helps and enjoy, haha!
