[kitkatkey]

HarryKim AU fic recs? I gotcha. Heed each fic tags and double check for smut if you'd rather avoid that.

1) "in the car outside" by paisleycowboys, gym teacher Harry/rcm Kim au fic. They're neighbors, Kim's new in town, and Harry can't help but observe Kim observe him who's observing Kim. They don't get along at first but when feelings catch!!! Oh boy. Oh brother. They're so good for each other.

2) "at this point it was years before..." by RaccoonScientist, originally written in Mandarin translated into English, BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN AND SO MUCH FUN!! Harry and Kim met as children, grow up together as best friends, alternate universe where they do not become cops. I read and reread this fic bc I couldn't get it outta my head.

3) "Static over voice" by sosioban, SO SO SO SO FUCKING GOOD I REREAD THIS RECENTLY (March '24) OOOOOO FUCK!! Harry and Kim meet by chance online playing video game. It is silly. There is pining. They do figure it out.

4) "Du bois coffee" by harvestar, modern au where they work at Harry's coffee shop. Of course they fall in love. Of course they inevitably kiss. Cute fluff. Cuno is mentioned, wish there was more of him in this one.

5) "My Dear Elf with the Clipboard" by Sosioban, more fluff!! Set modern day during Christmas. Kim is a pining mess. He wants Hot Santa so badly it's stupid. Hot Santa is ofc Harry.

6) "Your Turn with the Frog" by sosioban, OH GOD ANOYHER ONE BY SOSIOBAN??? YES!!! love this, read it in one day instead of doing schoolwork. Rushed all that work. Don't regret it. So silly and filled to the brim with smut. Alice, Soona, and Ruby are Kim's friends, Kim is gay, Harry is trans, they're fuck buddies who are both teachers, what can wrong? Kim definitely won't catch feelings. Definitely... WILL BE REREADING THIS ONE

7) "All In Due Time" fic series by Oxycontin. Love love love- so sad sad sad. Kim ages in reverse. His days are numbered. He slowly relearns how to live and how to love and what comes next for everyone else has already happened for him. As time goes on he forgets things. He grows younger. Aging in reverse like Merlin. Some good ol Pale fuckery ya know? I love this series. Extremely well written. Tears my heart up. Read it. I promise it does not disappoint with the angst.

8) "Pale Moon" by greatdistractions, is a werewolf Harry fic set post game. Harry doesn't remember being a werewolf, Kim goes to find him when he doesn't go to work and doesn't answer any calls, and finds a wolf in his apartment instead. They go back to Martinaise. Some cute shit happens. Quick, simple, cute read.

And these last two are set post-game and serve more as continuations than AUs but they're still So Fuckin Good:

9) "birds of a feather flock together" fic series by Thegrimreaperisanerd. OH OH OHOHOHIHHHHHH!!!! I love this series, the second fic is currently in progress and is getting so so so so good!! Taking place post canon, the first fic (Imprinting) is a casefic with Harry and Jean and Harry is so desperate for his new bestie (Kim) he buys a pink phone second hand and does some very illegal very questionable things. DUCKLINGS THAT DROWN is the sequel exploring more of their (Harry and Kim) relationship and their relationships with the 41st. The author is incredibly sweet, highly recommend yall to read and leave em a kudos/comment trust me they'll notice.

10) "Birdcage-verse" fic series by Sarielle, phenomenal writing, excellent execution of a case fic- ADOPTED CUNO ALERT!!! SEAMLESS ORIGINAL CHARACTERS!!! There is so much world building that has gone into this series. I cannot recommend this series in particular enough. Really it has it all.

Wow, genuinely thank you anon, I wasn't expecting such a detailed response! I've read some of these already (incredible tho so i should reread) but I will absolutely check out the others!

[aziraphales-library]

i would like to apologize for my earlier ask i though y'all meant book rec as in actual book :(

hope all of you are doing well!! thank you for this site it is so helpful!!

i am looking for bastard aziraphale stuff if y'all wouldn't mind :]

We have some bastard Aziraphale fics here. Here are some more...

Logophilia by CopperBeech & Twilightcitysky (M)

It turns out Crowley likes really big words. A lot.

Oversharing by AppleSeeds (T)

Crowley is helping to facilitate a corporate training day on Zoom and decides to try to find out more about one of the attendees, the insanely attractive Aziraphale Fell. Nobody ever has to know... right?

High Stakes by redundant_angel (T)

The power goes out and Crowley decides to keep Aziraphale company for the evening, but things take a rather revealing turn when Aziraphale produces a deck of cards!

Matching Speed by crepesandoysters (T)

Aziraphale isn't expecting much from the group ski trip he's been roped into, but he's determined to make the best of it.

That is, until he meets Anthony Crowley — who makes a show of skiing like a daredevil — and it's irritation at first sight. For the most part...

Investigative Reporting by greatdistractions (T)

It's well known that Eden is a for-profit charity, but Crowley is working on an article to prove that it's more "for-profit" than "charity." All he needs is an inside source.

The Right Kind of Queer by fenrislorsrai (T)

A major life change makes Aziraphale realize how lonely he is. He’s going to meet someone, damnit! His new friend Madame Tracy gives him a ritual to try and summon love into his life. It’s all rubbish of course. This is just a way to help him visualize what he wants and then she’ll introduce him to people.

That’s what they both intended.

It’s just a coincidence that a handsome artist comes to town right after. Crowley doesn’t even really match what Aziraphale said he wanted! But he’s caught up in his orbit until it all comes crashing down. He doesn’t really know this man.

He might not even be a man at all. But that’s ridiculous. He couldn’t be…. He’s just queer. Really, really, really queer. The bad, messy kind.

And after a life of being the right kind of queer, Aziraphale might just be ready to be the wrong kind.

Tender Moment, 2021 Happy Throwback Thursday! Last week stopped in at @purensimplefoods and was happily surprised by the excellent sundries and knickknacks available! Plus, the #food was delicious and the #pies, the homemade pies were heavenly! If you happen to be traipsing around Balsam Lake, WI make the effort to go there. Plus, the animals outside in the petting area are an adorable de-stressor too :-) @midwestlivingmag @travelwisconsin @travelandleisure @mspmag @countrylivingmag @foodandwine @yourtake @natgeotravel #travel #wisconsin #midwest #fun #destination #greatdistraction (at Pure n Simple Farm House Foods US Hwy 8 Amery WI) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRoa0U8Mu3z/?utm_medium=tumblr

5. What book or book series would you like to see turned into a film/ TV series?

I’d love to see A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers as a tv series. the book is very episodic, and takes place over a year, so I think a tv series would be able to flesh the plot and characters out properly.

I haven’t done art in damn near a decade and this is my first attempt to do digital art.

Heres my homage to @damesanddragons episode 94

Image ID from @greatdistractions

[ID the back of Slake from Dames and Dragons. They’re a green orc with a purple shirt. Sitting on one shoulder is their beetle, Darius. On the other shoulder is a lizard, sticking a sign on Slake’s back. The sign says, “I killed a God”]

38. What memory do they revisit the most often?

3 mains again? 

Henzi: Thinks a lot about the few times she’s had really lovely moments to herself, where things felt really clear, has stronger memories regarding stories than her actual life.

Shaa: has an endless cycle of their most painful and embarrassing moments playing on loop in their head.

Selkas: Has a very strong memory of riding in the car with their Golly, being told a parable about a fish that learned to walk... Also has lots of intense sense memories, remembers feelings and sensations more than the realities of events.

So I'm already on the second book of the Divergent series, which I started two days ago, and I'm loving it so far. I didn't think I would find a book series that interested me as much as The Hunger Games and Harry Potter have. Phone is off for the rest of the night and maybe for the whole day tomorrow. Just me and my books.
