#no mcd this isnt a mcd fic

[mockingbirdshymn]

im working on the outline for tongue tied (by working i mean fleshing it out and adding more detailed scenes) and i need more scene ideas for the mid to late fall and spring seasons. the fic is going to span across the entire end of summer at camp campbell to the beginning of next year's summer, which is why its going to be so long lmao.

anyway ideas would be greatly appreciated because im struggling a bit with them. they can be about harrison, nerris, or preston (or a combination of two of them, or all three), angst or fluff or a mix, and if it works with the established plot so far then ill add it!!!! (likely!!)

Mcd or mys i don't mind either way :3(Can you tell i am. Very tired? LSMDNAMl)-⭐”

Word count : 1,160

Tw : none :D but it isnt totally cannon? IDK

AN : I'M SORRY ⭐I REALLY AM! IT'S A LITTLE SHORTER BUT I REALLY TRIED PUTTING LESS STORY IN AND MORE CARE IG? Also I'm sorry! I wish I could take all the stuff off your plate and let you rest! Take care ⭐!

You had to finish this, you had to finish this paper, then you'd need to finish the next paper, then the next, and the next. God you didn't even feel like you were anywhere near close to being finished at all, that didn't even account for your piling chores you had been putting off. The dishes looked steep and your next choice of clean clothes was getting harder to find, you just had so many things you had to get done and eventually finish. The world was too fast for you and it was tiring, it didn't help that your family was less than helpful, often brushing the work you had to do off, or downright ignoring your growing issues and need of help. You wanted to cry, you felt so alone and like no one would help you or show you even an ounce of empathy. Garroth was out on some mission lady aphmau sent him on, aphmau was busy with being a whole lord, your family couldn't care less, friends were worried for themselves and it left you feeling so useless and sad for your own situation. You laid your head on your desk, groaning wishing it could all be over. That was until you heard a small and soft “honey?” next to your ear. 

While it was true, he was out looking for collecting information for lord aphmau, garroth had only recently came back to phoenix drop, and he couldn't just go back to his home, he had to come see you, he had to come make sure the one he held so dear was still smiling like he loved so much, and maybe he wanted to steal a kiss or two. You brought out the fun side of Garroth, the side of him that he didn't even know he still had, the side that made him do these small romantic things for you, he'd bring the moon to you if you so desired it. Your presence calmed him and you became the oxygen he needed to live, hence why being apart hurt him so much, he longed for you those two weeks he was gone, he wanted your warmth in his arms, he wanted to feel your fingers trail through his hair, and he needed to hear your kind voice once again.

It was easy to get into your home, you had given him a key afterall. You were always one to welcome him into your space. So as soon as he closed the door as softly as he could he slipped off his shoes and helmet, setting them in their respective places, he expected you to be asleep, to be resting, hence why he was so quiet, but as soon as he saw you sitting at your desk the tired yet excited smile slowly drained from his lips, being replaced with worry for you. As soon as you set your cute little head down on that desk he slowly moved behind you, getting close to your ear and whispering that name you loved so dearly. 

You jumped and hurriedly threw a pencil at him in fear before recognizing that blonde haired man in front of you, the fear turning into happiness, you suddenly didn't feel so sad, you hugged him tightly and took in his smell, you smiled and closed your eyes, whenever you were in his arms you felt ok, you felt loved…safe.He enveloped his arms around you and let out a small laugh, “i don't think that pencil could do much harm against lil ol me” he smiled as he slightly pulled away, “my love? Why are you still awake? It's so late” he hummed softly, his voice laced with worry. You didn't know how to explain anything, simply meeting his eyes with a frown. He knew you so well that he simply placed a kiss on your head and picked up the candle by your desk, using it to illuminate the way as he took your hand, leading you upstairs to your bedroom.

It was quiet. Although not an angry silence, just one filled with worry and care. Once you were finally to your room you sat down on your bed, garroth set the candle down and kneeled in front of you, looking up at you with those beautiful blue eyes, “my love, you need proper rest, how long have you been…being stretched so thin?” he asked, he could read anyone easily, but he could read you with just your eyes alone. You gave him your answer as you attempted to look away, but he wasn't having it, using his hand to softly guide your hand into looking back at him, “you need to be more kind to yourself, baby i'm not gonna let you work yourself to death, has anyone been helping you?” he asked  as he used his other hand to trace circles into your palm. When you answered with a no he seemed more sad, not angry, nor disappointed, just sad. “Can no one see your workload? Good god baby i'm so sorry” he said as he brought your hand to his lips, kissing your hand and closing his eyes. Garroth felt bad for leaving you, he knew you could handle yourself yes but it didn't change his want to always be next to you, to always be around you. And knowing you had been suffering hurt him so much, he knew that he wouldn't leave your side until you were ok and taken care of. 

“Ill always be here to help you, ill always be here to see the work you put in, the pain you endure. My sweetheart, I will continue to do all that and more.” he softly rambled and met his eyes with yours, he was so filled with love and adoration for you. “I don't know why anyone who claims to love you wouldnt see the work you do, but i do, and ill do everything to help you be at ease.” he continued, his voice was so hurt yet so honest, so clear with his desires and love, it was you, he desired you, your happiness and smile. This all made you relax, your shoulders lowered from the tense position they were in before. That made Garroth smile, he slowly stood and let your hands go, moving to get out of his guards uniform, while you slowly made yourself comfortable, laying in the sheets, his words took so much off your shoulders, your back. So you waited for him to join you in bed.

Eventually he slowly sat in bed, putting out the candle and laying next to you, he slowly pulled you close to him resting his chin on the top of your head, and you resting yours near his chest, allowing you to hear his heartbeat, to feel his warmth, presence, and love, before you dozed off you faintly remember hearing him hum a soft tune, attempting to help you sleep.

[poorlittlegreenie13]

Since you asked people to send you asks for Wretched Things. Here you go:

1) Regarding Misty as the supposed traitor, was it always the intended direction? Also, is Misty inspired by Caesar Flickerman and Beetee?

2) Also, I think Nat’s the youngest victor in the fic? Which reminds me of Finnick, did you draw inspiration from that? Also, how did you decide how Nat would win her games?

3) This isnt a question but more of an observation I think? Regarding how Lottie won her games, she gives off major Lucy Gray vibes.

4) How did you decide whether Jackie would live or die? Like, in what point of the story did you decide that she was going to be doomed by the narrative or was it the intended direction of the story all along?

5) This isn’t a question but a remark. I love how you tied Van with the wolves and making Tai the President at the end of the story.

6) Regarding Travis, was it always the case for him to sacrifice himself? Because to be honest, I thought he’d commit suicide.

7) Lastly, how did you come up with the story for James? I liked his story and I was wondering how you created him and his arc with Callie.

Sorry for the interview questions, I just have a lot to ask.

Omg this is thrilling. Do not apologize I love talking about my own writing 😭.

1. Do you mean Misty being the traitor underground when they think there’s a spy? I briefly considered having her actually be leaking information when I was writing the outline, but I didn’t go that direction bc I don’t believe at her core that she would ever hurt her friends. Walter was more inspired by Caesar Flickerman than she was, she is definitely more Beetee & also a little bit of Plutarch. She supports the greater good, but she also isn’t afraid to sacrifice things & she knows sometimes people have to suffer/die for ultimate victory.

2. Yeah, Nat is the youngest victor! She was definitely based on my aspects of Finnick’s story, though none of the characters are totally based off of one THG character or another, I also just based them on what I thought those YJ characters would do in the games. So, to your next point, I decided how Nat would win her games because I think while her character is desperate not to let herself be killed, and has a strong survival instinct, she also is one of the least violent Yellowjackets. She really shows an unwillingness to be cruel/violent in many circumstances. & she also feels a lot of guilt about letting people die in her place. So, hence the story of how she won her games.

3. lol Lottie & Jackie are both very Lucy Grey in this fic I think.

4. Jackie was always going to die tbh. It’s kind of baked into the story. Like I think in the first line or first paragraph she tells the story of Achilles & Patroclus? & basically describes the exact circumstances of her death lol. I feel like the point of the hunger games is that there was never anything Katniss could do to save Prim, & I wanted to keep that spirit in this story. & I also wanted to stay faithful to the major points of YJ & I’m not sure I ever see Jackie and Shauna getting a happy ending tbh. I like MCD when it’s done well, hopefully it’s done well here. The only other characters I briefly thought of killing were Misty & Van. Misty died in the original outline but I changed it. & I did think about killing Van in the way finnick died, I mean, she’d just gotten her happy ending wedding she’d been wanting the whole book, & she’s so brave she would’ve sacrificed herself to sewer mutts if needed. It also would’ve been a narrative parallel to Tai sacrificing herself to the wolves earlier in the story & pushing Van off the cliff to save her. But, I obviously didn’t wind up doing this because I love Van wayyy too much to kill her for basically no reason.

5. Thank you!! I was extremely proud of my wolf-taming scene lolll. & I think Taissa is actually a good choice for president during peacetime. Even though she’s kind of a bad senator in the show, I think she has legitimately good political ideas & she’s definitely the smartest of the group (maybe tied with Shauna, but she was in no shape to be president atm).

6. No, I kind of killed Travis off randomly ngl 😭. He kind of did kill himself, he was definitely acting reckless on purpose. I just knew I didn’t have room for him in the final war chapters bc I just didn’t want him moping around & taking away time from the main characters. So at basically the first opportunity for him to die with narrative meaning I was like… okay time to go. It furthered Jackie’s story though so yk. I feel good about it.

7. I came up with James bc there are two great epilogues I’m fond of with the children who survived the ordeal of their stories growing up & falling in love. So I wanted to do the same thing. They kind of represent elements of all three main couples, & show how things could’ve been for them if it weren’t for the games. & it gave Shauna and Callie an opportunity to bond. I also just thought it would be funny if they were in like a toxic situationship hooking up & not talking about it, canon high school event I fear. But mostly I just wanted to give everybody a happy ending & I thought the two of them falling in love tied the story together nicely & showed how much better things were for the new generation!

How it started:

How it’s going:

[alkalineleak]

While im rewatching mcd, ive made a few notes for my own rewrite:)

the first episodes of mcd are very self referential and have the 4th wall/audience as a character and as a normal fic/project, i don't think the media im using will mesh well with that, so im gonna veto the "villages are unaware but aphmau is -> aphmau becomes detached from the 4th wall and becomes part of the story" thing. This means i have to actually come up with backstory for aphmau and phoenix drop.

Personally ive never liked her being Irene with amnesia. In rebirth, i didnt like how clueless she was and in the original, i didnt like how detached she was from the world. Instead ive been playing around with her being a shad descendant or an irene descendant (leaning towards shad). With the ro'meaves and levin and other characters with such heavy family ties, i feel like being a descendant is a lot more powerful bc itll implement this theme of family defining you.

The reason why im leaning towards shad is because theres a lot of other descendents from the divine warriors (garroth, travis, etc.) for example, levins a descendant of irene, which makes him a target of kidnapping, but he's one of hundreds ykn? meanwhile theres not many of shad? Or at least in the text there isnt. This would also make it so aphmau would have destruction and violence in her blood, and instead she's a force of good. I also think that being a descendant of shad would be really good as blackmail? Like if the public found out, theyd villainize her, or maybe zane could put her in a bind later on when he's introduced in season one.

Now to actual episode by episode notes, my current idea is her being a hunter. She's lived secluded in the woods for some time for Some reason i havent come up with yet, which gives her reason to be able to do carpentry, farming, identify edible foods, and fight on her own. Also, with her amount of isolation, she's fairly paranoid and scared to be rejected. This means that when she arrives in phoenix drop, she's afraid of being kicked out, so she helps out in exchange for staying there (she's the only one who thinks this is a debt ). I think this state of mind will make her connect with zenix a lot more later on. ALSO her paranoia makes her hard to interact with, explaining why emmalyn didnt like her...

That's all i feel like explaining rn :33

[telltale-apologist]

“I wonder why my new fic isnt getting any- oh”

*MCD tag, Dead Dove Do Not Eat, angst, hurt no comfort*

[clementinecoastline]

20 questions for writers

i was tagged by @isnt-it-pretty! thank you for the tag!!! this looks so fun!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

currently 4 (but there's another on the way soon)

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

30,992 atm !!!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

i've posted my work for haikyuu!! and genshin, but i also write for mdzs/cql and honestly. whatever fandom gets my attention. (i have an inuyasha wip im working on, and some orv stuff too)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

i actually only have 4 works but:

follow the tide (with the monsters on your shoulder) for genshin

the world is simplified for kings (to them, all men are subjects) for haikyuu!! (yeah the title is really long but. i'm fond of it)

to touch the sun (and keep on soaring) for haikyuu!!

i will die facing the sun for haikyuu!!

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

as far as i know, i've responded to every comment i've received !!! i love engaging with my readers. it's also easier since i don't have any really popular fics.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i don't tend to write unhappy endings and i also only have 4 fics posted. but to touch the sun might have the angstiest ending in the sense that tooru's issues still aren't resolved by the end of the fic. my snf au (current wip) ends on a bittersweet note on account of the mcd inherent to the premise.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

my happiest ending so far is probably the world is simplified for kings, since the brazil fling get to have a nice time as they fall in love with volleyball. i will die facing the sun also has an optimistic ending, but it isn't guaranteed that oikawa will win at the olympics.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

i'm not well known enough for that LOL

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

i haven't yet but it's in the cards !!!

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

i don't write crossovers for the most part. i write fusions/AUs and those can get pretty wild. the craziest is probably my wolf's rain au. i don't think i'll ever write a crossover but i wouldn't count it out!! i've read some good ones. maybe i can be convinced.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of. i don't think any of my writing has enough traction for that.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

nope but maybe ill translate some of my own work. and i'm open to it if anyone offers.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

none currently posted!!! but i do have a project i'm working on with a friend.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

all-time favorite is really hard bc ranking the strength of my hyperfixations against each other is just cruel. my all-time favorites (plural) are probably haikaveh, iwaoi, and levtsukki.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

ideally. follow the tide is not one of these. i have a lot planned out that i just haven't written or posted. the one that i probably will never finish is living tomorrow. it's an iwaoi relationship study that i really, really want to write but have lost my connection with. i need to find my thoughts on them again and recalibrate and rewrite my current draft if i'm ever going to finish it. but maybe i will!!

16. What are your writing strengths?

i'm not sure. i think i have a remarkable ability to commit to the bit with weird fusions and au's but i haven't really posted those. no matter how silly the idea, i can usually get pretty invested (like my wolf's rain au writing and fanart), and that doesn't really depend on how interested other people are in it. support is nice but not always necessary.

one of my main goals in writing is to get in a character's headspace. i'm a big fan of immersion and understanding who they are and how they think. i try to capture that in writing while adding lots of small personal details to help flesh out the character's life. based on some of the comments i've gotten, i haven't completely failed.

of course, if anyone has any ideas on what my writing strengths are, they're free to let me know <- blatant fishing for compliments

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

erm. well i have thousands of words in unpublished wips so. probably motivation. poor planning. a lot of it is inexperience. my imagery, repetitiveness, poor dialogue or description. those are all things to work on. if i were to look back at my published works, i'd probably cite a lot of the things i've improved on since then.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

oh no this one's controversial. well, i think that if you're writing dialogue in english (or whatever language the fic is in) and your characters are speaking another language. you have a few choices. if the characters say something in another language but you translate it, i would italicize that (ie. "Thank you," he said in Spanish.) if the characters are saying something in another language and it's written in that, i don't really mind whether it's italicized or not, BUT i think it has to be well executed. sometimes that depends on using the term properly, or also on. how in character it is for that character to do that. as a bilingual person, switching between languages/speaking other languages can get pretty complicated, so it really all depends on execution. i don't think that everything has to be translated in the text at that moment, but i think that everything should be translated eventually. footnotes are a good idea!!!! or it should be revealed later in the text, or in the author's notes. but i don't like it when it's never revealed or translated at all.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

warrior cats on ff.net but we dont talk about that. haikyuu on ao3. i wrote some inuyasha stuff in google docs in between but never finished or posted it.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

that i've posted? follow the tide. that i'm writing? ack. i really really like the snf au!!! but i like a lot of my other ideas too (daemon au my beloved). im very fond of my mdzs pacific rim au.

i'm tagging @conartisthaiji @monstrsball @wormcoded and anyone else who wants to participate !!

Hi! Question about the Dew in Pain (tm) fic.

I know you said it wouldn’t have a happy ending, which I respect! However, when it is finished will there be a way to get kinda like… a spoiler-containing summary? About how it ends? Even if I have to come into your DMs. Im super interested in it and I really want to read it because I like angst a lot, but theres a lot of warnings and its making me nervous to pick it up in case it will end in a way that’s not good for me to read (im cool with everything tagged, but ive read fics labeled with a “not happy ending” that have not had everything tagged, MCD or abuse for example, due to spoilers. But also ive read some that in my eyes end happy?) I hope this makes sense and isnt too much of a bother!

Absolutely!

This completely understandable and a super reasonable request, you aren't a bother at all. My asks and DMs are always open. ♡

That said, I will be tagging everything as the chapters come out. I haven't done it yet for spoiler reasons, but I will once everything is posted. Shock value isn't worth the risk of not warning people about the content of a story like this.

[swordsmans]

HI ok first of all. read the fic. cried in a good way. immediately recced it to my friends. but also i wouldnt have clicked on it if someone didnt tell me the mcd wasnt permanent- u dont have to, duh, but if u added a tag that clarified the mcd isnt permanent i think a lot more people would read it! which they should. because it rules

omg i did not even think about that! i actually debated even using the mcd tag at all because the story isn't really about the death itself, it just uses the death/time travel as a framing device to explore a couple of different character things (it was originally inspired by the differences between the orpheus/eurydice myth and the achilles/patroclus myth, which is why the title is poly philtatos lol)

i am unsure if removing the tag altogether (because it's temporary so it maybe doesn't count...?) or adding a clarifying tag would be a better solution? i will sit on this

(and any other thoughts are ofc appreciated--i feel like there's been a shift in fandom etiquette since i took a break and i am not 100% sure what the new standard is)

edit: thought about it, and ur right--i added a little tag at the end that i hope conveys the temp mcd in like... a casual non-spoilery way

[huekatta]

doing this, simply bcs i can. am i a private blog i cant rly tell

1.) i have Tons of favorites. i dont think ive written anything i hate (except for that markhyuck robinhood fic? its atrocious cause theyre british). i think this one banger markren short fic i wrote, tagged nihilism.

2.) most popular is the noren time mage fic. it was mid for my taste.

3.) i rly wish the banger markren was more popular but i tagged it with '&' rather than '/' so it didnt rly reached the masses. why i tagged it with &? i was being self righteous.

4.) mcd. im so sorry but i just love it when. or maybe angst or past lovers. glances at my 3 not-happy-ending tyunning wips.

5.) meet-cute. i hate it. I HATE THAT I HAVE TO INTRODUCE THEM TO EACH OTHER. i have never met anyone Organically i think

6.) SEVERAL. uhm. mostly i think my ot5(?)/ot3(?) droid fic? i have the general gist but i think its too ambitious. so much world building and angst,, and for What

7.) theres this unrevealed yuwin crack fic around 20k. it was disgusting (written in 2019) and its abt exes (surprise!) that met again in a driving course thing (i dont have a license)

8.) probably the first fic? i used to write 600-800 and i couldnt break to 1k but lately most of my fics r 10k. anyway this question isnt abt that. my shortest was 400 iirc. nomin. oh my god it was mcd

9.) i think collabing is such a cool idea but im too territorial w writing and Very Shy. i dont think it will go well with me. unless im collabing with myself that is 4 beers deep, then i would

10.) "i can fit so many product placements in this bad boy", i love writing like this so much but then like 700 words later im probably trying my best to make u Cry

Kiss prompt: #24, 💯, go! (& thank you!)

Send me kiss prompts!

#24 - a kiss in danger. || Finally I got to put my theories on Edmonton to paper. Some mild horror though it’s mostly crack, kind of open ending.

~*~“They are onto usssss,” comes the slow, wet hiss.

Patrice almost makes a panicked noise but Brad stops him in the nick of time, presses one hand to his mouth and pulled on his wrist with the other to say it’s okay to say please.

This is not how Patrice imagined his night would go.

See, playing in Edmonton feels, and always has felt, weird. Since Looch got traded there Patrice convinced himself that it must be Krech’s pain, closely guarded as it is, bleeding over and setting him on edge and he let himself forget how wrong he felt here before then. There was just something always off about the quiet windy streets and the blank faces that filled Rogers Arena and gawked at them from the stands, watching without motion or sound, blending into an indistinct foreboding sea under the spotlights as music blared on from the  speakers.

Then after the game Brad had pulled him down a staircase with a frown on his face and skates barely off his feet. Patrice followed - he would follow Brad anywhere - and a corner a flickering light and a whiff of impending sense of doom later they all but walked into a congregation of well- lizard people. That was the only way to describe, to explain what they were seeing. They slithered across the space on their back legs like humans, hissed with forked tongues, and tapped at marble tables with sharp front claws to emphasize their points. Patrice and Brad barely had the time to pull themselves into a closet-like cranny before they were seen and ever since there is the shadow of - was the singular a lizard person? - blocking the only way out.

“They know McDavid isss not humannn,” the same voice continues now and they both let out the breath they were holding in relief. Once the initial shock of the moment has passed Brad looks at him with wide eyes, mouths ‘I fucking knew it’. Shit- he is right. Lizard people exist and McDavid isn’t fucking human.

“Idiot!” comes another, angrier hiss. “You understand humansss as well as humans underssstand the world” - the group erupts into collective offended clicks at what must be a grave insult. Thanks, Patrice thinks somewhat bitterly - “it’s a figure of sssspeech.”

The shadow on the wall visible to them moves - away but not nearly by enough. Patrice turns to Brad, all but presses his mouth to the shell of his ear and asks- “how are we getting out of this?”

Brad smiles. There is no space between them where they are crouched in the closet and his face is so close to Patrice’s. Patrice can make out the beads of sweat on his forehead even in the terrible light, can see the way his smile tapers off in the corners with something like melancholy.

“I got a way but you gotta trust me on this one,” Brad whispers back. “I’m gonna distract them and you are gonna run to go get help. To go get Looch. I dragged you into this.”

That is the worst plan Patrice has ever heard. He doesn’t know what exactly the lizard people would do if they got their hands on you but he has an idea and he couldn’t live with himself - he couldn’t live period - if Brad got hurt.

“That is the worst plan I ever-” he starts.

He never gets to finish.

Brad turns his head so his mouth is where his ear was a moment ago. He cups Patrice’s cheek with his hand, fingers digging hard enough to almost hurt, and his lips are cold and desperate and wonderful against Patrice’s - a fleeting, impossible daydream come to life that was never supposed to involve a closet in the bowels of Rogers Arena. (And it’s just as magical still.)

And by the time he opens his eyes, by the time he recovers and remembers how to breathe Brad is already running in the opposite direction to the exit, into the middle of the lizards yelling ‘well guess who is human and will kick your ass fish for brains.’

Patrice reels.

No.

No no not Brad not like this-

But there is only one thing he can do. He runs towards the exit, quickly, quietly, every muscle in his body screaming for him to go back.

As he turns the corner he pretends not to hear the gasp and the thud coming from behind him, the sound of - limp - flesh hitting the concrete floor and the clicks and hisses that follow.

So, I'm going to make this a Masterlist of all my Hobbit fics as I write them. I'm also going to attmept to put them in some type of order. Hopefully it's easier for others to anvigate the mess that is my Tumblr lol <3

The Hobbit - All are Bilbo/Thorin unless stated otherwise Active Wips: A Home, A Pack, A Place of Love (Animal Au) Summary: Bilbo is a corgi and he has become the guardian of a traumatised little corgi pup. He has to leave their cosy home and hope for the best. For him and Frodo.

Hopefully he will find a ew place to call home, a new family for him and Frodo, hopefully they will thirve. I want you right here, where you belong:Home with us (Bilbo/Thorin, Sirius/Remus crossover) Summary: Thorin has moved to "The United Kingdoms" with his friends and family.

Follow his life as he ends up an unexpected father, Uncle and husband, and extends his family with wizards, witches, centaurs, goblins and, sadly, elves.

Bilbo stays in Erebor fics:Stop me Fading (Needs major re edtiting) Summary: Its a few weeks since BOTFA. Bilbos running around like a headless chicken, The Company are being plonkers, Thranduil and Dain are being antagonistic, Bards just a cinnamon roll and Gandalf keeps disappearing for long amounts of time (for good causes of course). There's one lonely, sad little hobbit on the plains outside of the Lonely Mountain. Bagginshield-tober (A uncomplete series) Summary: A series of fics spanning from LakeTown until Bilbo's death. Bilbo stayed in Erebor, this is his and Thorin's life. Afterlife Fics: I will join you Summary: MCD!! Bilbo sits with a dying Thorin, knowing he will join him. Dead or not, this will not be the last time he seee his beloved. A Little Drop of Rain Summary: Thorin holds his dying one in his arms. All he can do is hope he will see him again after his life is over. It was a long life and all Thorin wants is to be reunited with his hobbit. Defying Death (or at least the ones in charge) Summary: Bilbo has finally died, and now Lord Mandos wants to shove him away to Lady Yavanna's Green Gardens. Well that wont do. After all, Thorin wont be in Yavanna's gardens and Bilbo wont stay where Thorin isnt.

He's a burglar, and if he can smuggle his dwarves out from under Thranduil's nose, he can smuggle himself into Mahal's Halls under the Valar's noses, right?

Reshirement: Changeling Child (Mpreg) Summary: Thanks to his Stone headed nephews, Bilbo now has a new quest. One that needs cleverness and diplomacy. Not the reckless battle tactics of dwarrow. This is the most important quest Bilbo will ever go on, even more imprtant then facing a dragon. For the most important being in his life. Animal Au's: A Pasture Too Small for A Bovine’s World so Large Summary: Bilbo is an odd Highland Bull, so odd that he has had enough and takes Primula, Drogo and baby Frodo to find a new place. A new home.

Thorin and his family are an odd little herd of Bison. An odd herd with room for a few other strange bovines. Wait for me in the Aurora Bearalis Summary: Bilbo is a red panda, he had had a good life. He had managed to make it to 64 seasons (16 years) when most red pandas were lucky to make 40 seasons (10 years).

Thorin doesnt want to say goodbye to his little Orso but he has too, hopefully they can find one another in another life. Ive found Frodo ....and he found you? Summary: Canine distemper has stolen all of the Bagginses away apart from Bilbo and little Frodo. No he has to find his kit, who has wandered off, again, and keep them safe from "The Sick". If only he wasn't alone doing it.

Bittersweet/hopeful ending: The Last Meeting (Until Arda is Remade) Summary: Bilbo is a sad, lonely hobbit in Rivendell. What is left of The Company, his friends, his Family find him there. There are less then there should be.

This is Bilbo's last meeting with the few remaining dwarves he adores. Until they meet again, when the world is remade, hopefully. Sad Ending: The Demented King Under the Mountain Summary: TW MCD, Murder, Thorin did not beat the dragon sickness. Thorin did not defeat the Dragon-sickness and in his rage destroyed the gift he was given to cherish. “How rare and beautiful it truly is that you existed, and that you existed with me, for me" Summary: It is time for Bilbo to leave The Shire, he is going to make his way to Erebor, hopefully.

Before that, he makes his way to his oak tree, the last living thing he has that reminds him of Thorin, it is time to say goodbye. One more hour with you Summary: Bilbo doesnt want it to end, he just wants one more day, one more hour, one more minute with his beloved. He will deny the truth in front of him to get it if he has too. You Never Cared, Why Start Now? Summary: It started with the fires burning through Erebor. It will end with the fires burning through Bag End. The Last Durin Princess returns home (Gen fic, Dis-centric) Summary: The Last Durin Princess returns home, but home is a tomb. A place with ghosts. With her dead borther and her dead sons.

When home is no longer home, all it is is a place of pain and heart break. What is the last of her line supposed to do? How is she supposed to go on? You were to late Summary: Bilbo is watching the eagles fly overhead in victory. With Thorin's cooling hand in his, Bilbo isnt sure what their is to feel victorious over.

Quest Fics: Dwarrow hugs in the dark Summary: The Fell Winter wasnt just a time whe hobbits starved, it ws much worse then that. An entire generation of hobbits traumatised.

For one Bilbo Baggins, on a quest with a troop of rude dwarves, the memories become nightmares whilst on the road. Maybe waht he needs is dwarrow hugs off a dwarrow king? A heart of stone and Fire in his soul Summary: Thorin is but a ghost of a king, desperate and making stupid choices. Bilbo is a hobbit out of The Shire, trying to find his place. But he needs to keep his daft dwarven king alive to succeed. The trials and tribulations of a married hobbit (a bowman's persepctive) Summary: Bard see's a small hobbit amongst a crowd of dwarves clamouring to get on his barge. From that first glimpse he makes a friend, suprised by who his new friend has married. Follow the events from Lake Town until after from Bard's pov. Far over the Misty Mountains:A hobbit with a heart Summary: Bilbo's home is suddenly invaded by a troop of dwarves. He would be bad, should be mad, but that song ....

Modern Au's: "Bring Your Older Gays To Play" at Club Erebor Summary: Frodo had convinced Bilbo to go the event night at his favourite queer club. All Bilbo wanted to do was go home, back to his books and cup of tea. Well, that was until Mr tall, dark and sexy was pushed into him. The reason is you, the reason is him, the reason is me (Dwalin/Nori, background Bilbo/Thorin) Summary: Nori hates himself for the 4 and a half years he spent in prison. For destroying everythig good in his ife. For losing everything he had to live for.

Hes out now and hopefully he can fix his realationships and see his son again. ABC's of Avoiding Bullying and Crying (Gen fic, The Companny are all young children) Summary: Thorin is a big grown up 7 year old dwarf.

LOTR Fics: Akmâthu Bask:Song of the Bath (Gen Fellowship fic) Summary: During a bath by the river, Gimli starts singing Bilbo's bath song. Confusing the hobbits. It turns out that isnt the only song of The Hero of Erebor's that they sing in the Lonely Mountain. Between the forest and the sea, I leave my heart with thee - (Gen fic, Elrond-centric) Summary: Elrond is set to sail to Valinor to reunite with his wife when he has a vision.

lips like sugar by ohhotlamb oikawa offers to give iwa kissing lessons to impress a girl and iwa slowly realizes he doesnt actually want the girl iykyk. so cute so sweet i love the way its written its a good read for some happy iwaoi moments lol (8k wds) darlin', your head's not right by aruariandance they are in uni they live in an apartment together (as friends) and oikawa teases iwa the whole time about how 5 year old iwa said he was gonna marry oikawa in the future. very wholesome and a happy ending and theres a few makki and mattsun// seijoh4 moments in there soo (14k wds) Shiver by Yuu_chi omg this was so good i love it friends to lovers kinda where oikawa basically admits he loves iwa in middle school and never rlly brings it up again and iwas kinda fine with it and its basically iwa realizing maybe i like him back (even though it takes like 6 years lol) so so cute i love the ending ahh (17k wds) just hear me out by loveclouds timer/beeper au where a beeper on your wrist goes off every time you make eye contact// are near someone youre compatible with. iwas has always gone off near oikawa but oikawas has never beeped so they think theyre biologically not compatible and it makes both of them feel guilty and anyways twas a very good read and the ending was great (~8k wds)

It's Not Love, Probably by starlitcities its basically just iwa pining over oikawa for like half the fic, very good w a drop of angst in the middle, short so if you wanna kill some time go for it (7k wds)

Mothra by my_own_liver mm fluffy fic and wow its so cute wtf. Oikawa not a dog person but meets iwaizumi and iwas very enthusiastic dad and kinda just roughs it out for the long run bc ✨iwaizumi✨ and its very cute and ik i said that already but hNGHHH (18k wds)

Misc.

the galaxy is endless (i thought we were too) by cosmogony is a pretty popular kuroken fic where kuroo has a terminal illness and um kenma kinda just has to watch him go through it. Im ngl i didnt feel sad reading this like most ppl did idk why but fair warning bc this seems to have the same effect on ppl as ial did lol (31k wds)

Even Though it All Went Wrong by plumtrees i think this is a pretty famous matsuhana one, hanamaki gets this terminal illness like his mom and its basically one of those fics where we just watch through mattsun's eyes as makki gets worse and worse and theres nothing he can do to stop it. very good fic despite me crying for like 75% of it while reading lmfao (9k wds) Why Am I Here? (and the whole 5pt collection) by reginagalaxia the first one is mainly iwaoi but the whole collection is kinda daisuga and iwaoi, starts with sugawara trying to indirectly set iwa up with oikawa the yoga instructor and kinda goes on from there with the usual scheming suga, embarrassed daichi, annoying oikawa and grumpy iwaizumi. kinda cringe sometimes but overall very cute mhm (14k, 1.2k, 2k, 6k, and 2k)

Mannequin Men by surveycorpsjean this is actually the first hq fic i ever read. dont ask lol. this is basically just p*rn with a small helping of plot lol its bokuakakurotsuki (bokuto/akaashi/kuroo/tsukishima) ive been hesitant to add it to the list but ehh why not. theyre all fashion models akaashis the newbie. oikawas there too, i mean everyone is but yk. it was actually pretty good lol i honestly dont remember how it ended bc its been like a year but i had a pretty good time reading it so. i also liked the iwaoi subplot but no spoilers here hee (76k wds)
