5. For the next ITMF I would like to request some fics that have WWX and LWJ in the first stages of a relationship where one of them is experiencing a healthy relationship for the first time. So I'm looking for a fic where something goes bad (even the smallest of things) and one of them expects the other to be mad and lash out at them (either physically or emotionally), but is surprised when they don't, because they're so used to be treated badly by their significant other. @blueghost13

~*~

6. hello! in the next ITMF it’d be lovely to have some fics where lan zhan finally snaps and yells at everyone INCLUDING wei ying @nickthecornstar

~*~

7. Hi! Thanks for your blog!

I'm in the mood for Lan Zhan falling in love with chubby Wei Ying. If possible modern au. Self esteem issues and lz adoration, appreciation and protectiveness.

Thank you! 😉 @best-before-end

things you've done by everythingispoetry (M, 19k, wangxian, modern, college/university au, living together, childhood trauma, eating disorders, control issues, body image, the excruciating process of recovery, non-sexual submission, weight issues, body worship) altho this fic has a different vibe from what the asker seems to ask? be sure to read the tags first

leave all your love and your longing behind by ScarlettStorm (E, 143k, WangXian, Modern AU, no magic, Meet-Ugly, Panic Attacks, autistic lwj, neurodivergent wwx, the neighborhood asshole dog, if you’ve met one then you know, Hurt/Comfort, Pining, Minor Angst, major shenanigans, Happy Ending, for everyone including the  asshole dog, Eventual Smut, switch rights, Sex Toys, horny yearning, Masturbation) might fit, it has a scene where lwj appreciates wwx's muffin top

~*~

8. itmf fic that focus on wwx's first time coming to the jiang's house (can be canon/modern). preferably with lots of focus on how wwx feels abt the entire thing

~*~

9. I was hoping for the next iitmf if the lovely people who search diligently, could use their amazing ability that I lack, could see if there are any fics where it is Jiang Yanli who is uncomfortable/homophobic with WangXian being together. Please and Thank You. :) @lizzybgood

~*~

10. Hi! Thank you mads for all the hard work you do, you guys are the backbone of this fandom <3

For ITMF I would like to request some siblings fluff, like protective Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng with Wei Wuxian, (shijie dotting on his shidi is the best!). And also, if I could have some friendship between tge peakcock and A-Xian it would be great! (I know is a bit ooc but I do need it as reference 😅 @astarlith

A Full Sun (A Bright Moon) by Pip (Moirail) (E, 52k, wangxian, modern, bdsm, rope bondage, safe words, safe sane & consensual, fluff & smut, phone sex, getting together, comfort no hurt, hand feeding)

🧡 To have and to hold by Moominmammashandbag (M, 78k, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Major character injury, CQL verse, Happy Ending) fits the ask! Siblings being protective and jzx&wwx friendship

~*~

11. So I guess this would be itmf... I have a friend who only decides to watch new shows after reading some fic and getting invested in a ship. I have told her a lot about wangxian and she asked me to rec her a few fics. I'm overwhelmed by the idea of trying to win someone over with only one or two fics so I thought people here might help. She likes the CNC dynamic and their general kinkiness, so that should def be included. She also likes angst w/a happy ending, hurt/comfort. Also something that isn't overwhelming to someone who doesn't know the plot or terminology.

Nothing too spoilery, although I know it can be hard to avoid--maybe aus where they still have same dynamic/similar meeting and relationship progression but different main plot? Idk. I'm open to whatever. Just really wanna win her over!

Tl;Dr if you could have someone read only one (kinky, explicit) wangxian fic, what would it be? @moku-youbi

perhaps either

Content Warning: Romance by Ariaste (M, 5k, WangXian, BDSM, Praise Kink, nonsexual kink, which turns into sexual kink, wwx's canonical fetishes, Kink Negotiation)

or

the earthquake in the room by phnelt (E, 39k, WangXian, College/University, Modern: No Powers, Canada, Getting Together, Mentions of lwj/others, inter-faculty romance, strangers to lovers to frenemies to lovers, mostly book characterisation) or maybe even this one?

Whistler by carriecmoney (T, 108k, wangxian, modern, office au, texting, artifact fiction, Canada, embedded images, epistolary, animated gifs, pining, multimedia, inventor WWX, lawyer LWJ, implied sexual content, covid happens) For #11 with the caveat that it doesn’t have the kinks - It does have the similar meeting/relationship progression and plot points in a modern Canadian au. It’s also the fic that got me into the fandom after I randomly came across it and led to me reading more and watching the show so maybe it can do the same for your friend

~*~

12. Hi! For the next itmf is there any good older!lwj/younger!wwx fics?

14. Hello, thanks for helping me last time. I came back after so many days. If you have lists for fiction WWX as a war prize, would you please share some? @paraffin22

15. Thank you for all your hard work! I love this blog so much 🥰 For the next in the mood post could you find some fics where LWJ takes revenge for WWX? It can range from dark like murder to small petty stuff. I just want to see LWJ defending and even avenging WWX. Thank you!!

~*~

16. Hello! do you have list of adopted wwx by hualian, bingqiu etc (not from any cultivation sect like wens, lans, nies)? its a crossover but the crossover list is kinda mix, i specifically want adopted wwx (pref since he was a child). This can be included in the next itmf, i think. Thank uuu

Miscellaneous OPM Characters as Lady Gaga Songs

please read this oh my god I spent so much time... there's some meta scattered in there I promise.

Fubuki

Telephone

Bloody Mary

Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)

Telephone - because I watched an Instagram edit that used it and now I have it permanently associated with her. Fubuki has a fun and glamourous aesthetic and I feel like the song reflects that too Bloody Mary - because of the "I wont crucify the things you do" line. it reminds me of all the people she knows that are like. highly problematic but she's irremovably tied into their lives and ultimately accepts them. Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) - there are relationships she's had that fell tragically because of, while among other things, her own personal flaws and ego. It's tragic, but she really wasn't equipped to handle everything thrown at her at the time. there really is "nothing else [she] can say" anymore. Imagining her with this song puts a lighthearted twist on the woe of it.

Psykos

Summerboy

So Happy I Could Die

Teeth

MANiCURE

Summerboy - I like to imagine it as Psykos having the summerboy's POV. Feeling disposable and like she got played by Fubuki, she is left to sort of sourly reminisce on what could've been. So Happy I Could Die - for that INTENSE SAPPHIC ANGST. Also I like the concept of like. attempting to use sexuality to cope with severe internal turmoil. I love this song sooo much. Teeth - vibes I guess MANiCURE - "SHE WANNA BE MAN CURED!" so basically more sapphic stuff but campier and less gut wrenching this time lol.

Genos

(... god I initially struggled finding stuff for him HARD but ended up with 4 things. what.)

Replay

I Like It Rough

Shallow

Paparazzi (bonus)

Replay - Lady Gaga is talking about trauma and PTSD taking over and effecting every part of her life, which I feel like is relevant. "Every single day, yeah I dig a grave Then I sit inside it wondering if I'll behave" I Like It Rough - I've always interpreted this song as only ever experiencing harshness from people, not knowing how process kindness, and struggling to decipher sincerity. Which I feel like, removed from all the sex stuff, fits Genos pretty well thematically. Shallow - I don't really mean this in a ship way here (to be honest, one sided genos pining is my ideal! But that's not relevant here) but I can think of this song with Genos and Saitama's relationship and how at its core, One Punch Man revolves around them. They represent the central themes of companionship and how humanity is based on relationships with others. They try to "fill that void" with each other and Genos looks at Saitama worried, when will it be enough? (When will HE be enough?) Also I enjoy listening to songs where there is some form of disappearance or death and imagining the MA arc. I did that a tonnn with Sweet Talking Woman by ELO a while back, something about mixing the love song about chasing someone with the tragedy of the MA arc and how Genos became unattainable really clicked for me. (Fun fact, I had 182 listens for that song on my Spotify wrapped... pretty much all thinking of Genos) I'm supposed to be talking about Lady Gaga though oops. "Crash through the surface, where they cant hurt us We're far from the shallow now." They've experienced the same alienation, whether inflicted or self imposed and were able to drag each other out of it. Perhaps there's comfort in the similarity. Paparazzi (bonus lol) - If you enjoy leaning into Genos's weird obsession, this is the song for you! He's a little neurotic...

Flashy Flash and Sonic

I'm giving them the same song

Speechless

Speechless "In your tight jeans With your long hair and your cigarette stained lies Could we fix you if you broke? And is your punch line just a joke?" I connect it by thinking about how much weight their relationship held in their lives. Each of their dreams had the other in it. And I think that losing that was a bit worldshattering. "Would you give it all up If I promise, boy, to you?" Eyyyy we were left on a bit of a cliffhanger right? Flash was trying to ask sonic something but got cut off by the other ninjas. "We could-" we could what, Flash? we. could. what. (Team up again? Please I'm literally on my hands and knees begging, yet I know it's never that easy with OPM)

Amai Mask

Beautiful, Dirty Rich

The Fame

Beautiful, Dirty Rich - It's about fame! Living the high life! He's like a major celebrity and a diva so I think it works. Just ignore the bit where it says "but we've got no money" because he definitely has money. The Fame - similar thought process

Webigaza

Applause

Applause - She "lives for the applause!" The fame itself is empty without her fans.

Do-S (aka BONUS! other songs I like but had zero use for)

Love Game

Money Honey

Bad Romance

Poker Face

Government Hooker

Judas

not sexual enough for Do-S but I really like Americano too.

okay I'm done with these now I'm literally going insane

[ramblesanddragons]

So you want to know what Bill’s was looking at in Chapter 3 of A Man Made of Stone? Aka an Index of Fics mentioned.

rum-and-shattered-dreams had an amazing bit in their fic about Bill gazing at dimensions and I wanted to play with that idea. I’ve read A LOT of Gravity Falls stuff since re-falling in love with the show. Here’s a list of the ones that Bill takes a glance out. I felt I should share the works and authors!

In order of mention:

The Whole of Us (Is Greater than the sum of our broken pieces) by @nicnacsnonsense   

Excuse me while I cry. In this reality Ford discovers Dipper and Mabel on his doorstep in 1982 and he’s their dad. This is both a heart warming and heart breaking work. They do an amazing job of keeping Ford and Stan in character. Kid Dipper and Mabel are so well done. Soos’ mom is such a great character. Bill is still a jerk and so is Pa Pines but we knew that.

Major Warnings: There are warnings for Past Child Abuse and Neglect and oof that neglect rang a little close to home for me but I was able to handle it.

1 Step Forward, 20 Years Back by @infriga (Ppleater on A03)

Fountain of youth= TINY STAN. I love the concept of the Fountain of Youth here and I can’t talk about other stuff without spoilers but there’s a great Ford to the rescue moment in this and Stan’s natural charisma gets a +2 bonus as a kid. It’s great.

Major Warnings: Past Child Abuse and Broken Bones/Resetting those bones.

Timestuck AU by @the-subpar-ghost

Mabel interacting with her way younger, way too stressed Grunkles is the best. The ending chapter is such a ride from start to finish.

Major Warnings:  There’s some violence with mentions of blood but nothing graphic.

(Relativity Falls is where Dipper and Mabel are the old ones and Kids Stan and Ford go visit Gravity Falls one summer. My favorite fic to come out of that Au was)

New Normal by @scribefindegil

It’s a one shot but it’s the perfect sort of end to this AU’s story. Old Dipper and Mabel being badass and young Stan and Ford being adorable.

Major Warnings: References to past child abuse.

The Man Downstairs by @rum-and-shattered-dreams

The fic that inspired this scene. I love how they weave the canon of the show with what’s happening in this AU. Ford never went through the portal but Bill can now take control of him at will.  Ford and Stan’s bond is just so good in this. It’s dark but it has great humor too.

Major Warnings: Bill is a sadistic bastard and lets that out on Ford. Big ones are torture, eye trauma, and suicidal ideation.

A Little Bit Lost by @impishnature

An idea that Ford comes out of the portal much more feral than in canon. Just read it. Trust me just read it. It covers very realistic post trauma Ford in a series of one shots in a way the show probably never could have.

Major Warnings: Ford’s PTSD and the associated side effects (flashbacks and panic attacks) is very evident in this.

30 Seconds Later by Shayera (Also no idea if there is a tumblr)

Such a fun concept. Ford only spends 30 Seconds in the portal but for Stan it was still 30 years. There’s a great family D&D&MD bit in here that made my heart happy.

Major Warnings: Bill can also control Ford when he’s out. He attacks someone while possessed and there’s some damage. 

Ad Astra by @themadqueenmab

An amazing Drifting Stars AU (Mabel gets pulled into the multiverse by accident) The balance between Ford and Mabel in the multiverse and Stan and Dipper fighting to get them back is so good. The worlds are so creature and horrifying and I’m at the edge of my seat reading it.

Major Warnings: There’s some pretty scary stuff in here I think. Mabel and Ford get roughed up quite a bit. I would also mention alcoholism and abuse towards children because again Bill Cipher is a jerk.

A Step in the Wrong Direction Series by impishnature

 When Stan tries to bring back Ford he ends up in the portal instead. I’ll go on about impish nature’s writing in a moment if I start here I’ll never get to the rest lol.

Major Warnings: Some blood if I remember right and angst.

Blind Faith by @pinesinthewoods

Stan falls into the portal with Ford in 1982 and things got very awry in a realm of horror but the bond Ford and Stan share may just get them through after all is the basis of this AU. Be warned it gets dark but it’s super good.

Major Warnings: Psychological Trauma and Eye Trauma

Demonic Conman by Impishnature

Stan takes up Bill’s offer to join him and becomes a demon. With two separate endings this is one of the first GF fanfic I read and I have loved EVERYTHING Impish has written. Like I could just recommend all of their stuff. Stan as a demon is amazing.

Major Warnings: Major Character Death...kind of

OTHER: These are fics that are either post canon (Bill can’t see past when he gets erased) or an AU I couldn’t figure out how to put in there.

Fisherman’s Knot by @scribefindegil

This is the very first fic I read when I wanted to find more GF stuff since I missed the show so much. It wrecked me in such a good way and I read the whole thing (it’s a big one) in like 2 days. I cried. The angst and humor is amazing. The original character is great and I love her. The last line stuck with me for days. As someone who has struggled with depression and it’s darker hold over a person it spoke to me beyond it being about Ford and Stan.

Major Warnings: Suicide Ideation/ Attempt, Anxiety, and Deep Depression.

Live by the Book by @anistarrose

The Adventure Zone/ Gravity Falls crossover I didn’t know I needed in my life. I love the inside of the Journal and a certain someone’s reappearance. I think you can get the basics of the story without having to listen to TAZ but if you haven’t you should lol.

Major Warnings: Just Peril I believe. Nothing really comes to mind.

The Lighthouse Keeper AU by Impishnature with art by @sightkeeper

Gravity Falls set in a lighthouse on the coast of Oregon. What I love about this one is the take on Bill is probably even scarier than canon Bill. It’s beautifully written and makes me both want to go to the ocean and never set foot in it again. Dipper and Mabel are also super cute in this as well.

Major Warnings: Drowning, Depression and Intrusive Thoughts.

The Past Up In Smoke and Stan’s Diary Hand’s Off by @beacandy

The first one is a great telling of a thing from Journal 3 where they burn all the Bill related stuff they can find. It’s so cathartic.

The second one I don’t want to say too much about because I don’t want to spoil it but once I got what was happening I was floored with feels.

Major Warnings: I don’t really think there are with these two besides angst.

Everyone mentioned has more than one fic to read and there’s so many more out there but I can’t mention them all. I hope this little guide gets someone new a good starting point.  

Art Recomendation: I would be remiss if I didn’t also shout out @artsymeeshee and her art. She makes some great comics. Lots of funny indirect quotes and angst comics.

[inevitably-johnlocked]

[crafiet]

26-50

here we go again bois

What would your character say their best trait would be?she would say “i can survive” which basically means her resilience.

What is your character’s greatest fear? Deep, irrational?that everyone will suddenly only see her for her faults and leave her. mood tbh

What is currently motivating your character to stay with the party?in book 1, the plot lol. but also bc she loves them and wants to protect them.

What are your character’s hobbies and interests outside of their class?dnd class is like mage/rogue etc right? so aside from her magic..she likes fishing! and travelling

What would most people think when they first see your character?in the novel, they’re afraid/disgusted by her facial scarring. her name precedes her so if they know her, they probably won’t like her either lmao
