Dear God, I visited fanfiction.net after god knows how long because the author of a fic I was interested in told me that they are updating it faster on ff.net

First of all, I had to wait here for like five minutes

But then it gets worse...

That's a small, tiny paragraph broken with TWO huge-ass ads!

Noooooooo!!!

This is a fucking nightmare!

FIC RECS for @spnficrecfest - august 16-18 casefics

i'm attempting to limit myself to just one small sample of the fics that could be recced in every category so that my list is more easily digestible. it's a given that many good fics will be left out but if we keep this up they will have their turn later.

a few of my favorite casefics

torch song by art_savage (gen, season 2) Children are disappearing in Durango, Colorado. Dean starts to take the case a bit too personally.

in reverse by sodakey (gen, season 1) After Faith, a job has the boys looking for missing hikers in Wyoming. While Sam worries it’s connected to what happened to Dean ten years ago, Dean wonders if Sam would be better off back in the world of normal.

red by big_pink (gen, season 1) Something evil is killing treeplanters in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, possibly the same predator that Dean narrowly escaped years before. How Grimm will things get before the brothers figure it out?

beatty, 1988 by kalliel (gen, preseries) There are hunts that go down smooth, just enough kick, relished and savored. Others are just a date and a name.

love like salt by kalliel (gen, preseries) The Winchesters revisit a ghostly snag in one of John's old cases. Meanwhile, Sam scrambles to mend their broken pieces, even as his world unravels around him. Dean just unravels.

flowers on a razor wire by jaimeykay (gen, preseries) The Winchesters find themselves grounded for several months when John is injured on a hunt, but no matter if they stay or go, a case always seems to find them in the end: a demon is threatening the town's children. 16-year-old Dean joins forces with a local hunter, whose belief in teaching Dean how to be the perfect hunter runs up against Sam's distrust and suspicion.

lovetown by nigeltde (sam/dean, season 2) Spill your guts.

no birds today by whereupon (sam/dean, season 3) Something's killing women in a small Nebraska town, Sam has boundary issues, and Dean's just trying to make peace.

from coast to coast by paxlux (sam/dean, season 1) They've seen some unbelievable things.

cupid's got a gun by geckoholic (sam/dean, season 4) Ever since hell, Dean's in no hurry to get that show on the road again. They've tried, and it doesn't work, too many bad memories from what's been done to him downstairs. A case that involves a cursed cross and a vengeful witch takes that choice away from them.

the old gods return by fleshflutter (sam/dean, season 3) The envelope is waiting for them behind the desk of the motel when they try to check out. It's made of a thick, coarse brown paper and Sam can't stop touching the flowing script in black ink that's the only marking on it: Mr. Samuel Winchester.

I will not be leaving tumblr because. There is literally no other good site for posting writing that also promises interaction with others. Stuck here until it crashes and burns, I guess.

I’ve been writing a Kingdom Hearts x Detective Conan fanfiction lately! And I drew something for Chapter 3, Conan with a Keyblade >:3

So here’s a link to the fic with the pic attached :)

Hey! Is the comic version of your fic available to read anywhere, or only the "regular" written version on AO3? I love the comic, the art is so cool!

aw thank you!!🥰 unfortunately there's no actual full comic version of my fic, since as cool as that would be, i think my hand might ACTUALLY fall off if i attempted to draw the entire thing, bahaha. all the drawings i do based on it are just snippets/scenes of moments that i decide to draw, and i do at least 1 drawing for each chapter to have some accompanying art. tho my fic isn't only on ao3, its on wattpad as well, if you prefer to read there!

i dont! everything you see on my tumblr is all the HL art i have (save for the NSFW stuff thats only on twitter.) im glad you like my art so much, ty!! ive had requests to draw other characters (mostly garreth BAHAHA) tho i only have motivation to draw what im hyperfixated on (which is seb/clora atm LOL) so i most likely wont be drawing other characters unless the mood randomly strikes me, since this is all just for my own enjoyment. i wont say its impossible that i draw others, just unlikely bahaha. also it MAY be for the best that i dont try my hand at drawing fig, since i have no idea how to draw people who arent young and beautiful LMAO 💀 (sorry fig, you're beautiful in your own way!!) and thank you again!!💖💖

I just want to say that I’ve been posting on AO3 for a little over 9 years now, and I noted today that I have a little over 6800 comments in my inbox. (I never delete them except for when I’ve deleted and reposted an older fic) That averages out to about 2 comments every day for 9 years. 🥹 when you think about it, that’s like… a lot. To anyone who has contributed to any of those-

With the portals closed behind him and Lex Foster already in possession of his firearm, there wasn't anything left for John Mcnamara to do for his country (or the world in general). This left him in the unfortunate position of being trapped in the Black and White (somehow *not* dissolving?) with his old-mentor-turned-Wiggly-disciple and, of course, the great Wiggly himself. This is not a fun position in which to be.

Also known as: dial eldritch!Wiggly up to 11, stir in one (1) awesome General and his traumatised mentor/old friend/maybe-something-more, garnish with mental and physical torment, and serve angsty! Could be read as gen, but it's secretly Cross/Mcnamara if you're cool; it's just not explicit in either sense of the word

Ectober Week Day 28- Scream

"Danny!" Danielle cried. Tears flooded her face and she struggled, but her nerves were alight with electricity. Danielle tried her best to stay conscious, to keep herself together. But her body was giving up on her. Try as she might, Dani was loosing.

She could just barely open her eyes now. Or what was left of them. She couldn't feel most of her body, and wasn't completely sure if she was seeing from one eye or two. Everything was either numb or on fire, and the numb was spreading. Which was definetly not a good thing.

But some part of her couldn't help but want the release. Better than the pain she had been soaked in for... it was hard to tell the time. It could have been 15 minutes or ten seconds. The moments seemed to slip through Danielle's fingers.

Everything was slipping. Dani felt herself breaking. Her thoughts became muddled and as everything went dark and numb, she felt a last pang of loss. A life so short and so full of hardship.

But that wasn't how this was supposed to end, Dani knew. In two seconds she would burst back up like a phoenix, good as new. But two seconds slipped back and it stayed dark. And cold. And numb. And quiet.

Dani didn't do well with the quiet. It left too much space for other things. For wanting and lamenting. Luxuries she couldn't afford and didn't want to indulge.

Dani couldn't handle the silence. Despite having no voice, she began to scream. And scream. Scream in to the void and hope that something called back.

"-ani!"

Huh?

"-ielle!"

A voice? It sounded familiar. Despite having no legs, Dani forced herself towards the sound. Who was here? Who had reached for her?

"Danielle!"

Dani jolted awake, sitting straight up. Her skull cracked against another. Dani and Danny both cradled their battered heads.

"Ow," Danny grimaced.

"I'm sorry!" Danielle fretted. She didn't know what to do with her hands, urged to help but unknowing what to do.

Danny's right hand glowed a soft, icy blue. He held it to his forehead to sooth the forming bruise. Dani wished that she could do that.

"I should be asking you that," Danny looked at her from under his arm.

"Are you okay?" Dani worried.

Dani's jaw clicked shut. Images flooded her brain. She wished for that split moment when she had forgotten her dream. No, not a dream. It was too horrible for that title. Call it what it was, a nightmare. One that had haunted Dani ever since the events it was based on had transpired. Events she had tried her best to push back into the depths of her brain. But her subconscious kept unearthing them and shoving them in front of her face.

"You were the one screaming in your sleep."

"I'm fine." Dani said, strained.

"Perfectly fine." Her smiled was thin. Danny looked at her funny. But he accepted the answer. For now.

"I'm gonna get some more sleep." Dani rolled over in her sleeping bag on Danny's floor. The ground was cold against her skin and Dani relished in it. She was too hot.

The room temperature cooled. It caught Dani's attention. She looked back up at the bed to see Danny's hand stretched out holding a ball of white and blue. He smiled at her.

Dani rolled back over. Danny, saving her yet again. Dani's hero.

The rest of her sleep was dreamless.
