✨️ Morning wakeup call ✨️

Six of crows Road trip au!

[jackwolfes]

Do you have any fanfic recs? I love your Wylan characterization and soc fanfics, and I also read trc! And I haven't read a fanfic that satisfies me in a while??? And I don't think i can keep rereading yours. So if you shared any finished fanfic recommendations I would be very glad!!

this has been languishing in my ask box bc I've had so many fics I've desperately wanted to read and no focus go acc do so 😅 but here's a chunky list to hopefully start you off, fairly Wylan centric:

Spring Cleaning by CSHfic and VSfic: G, Post Canon Wylan & Jesper & Nina friendship fic ft the defenestration of office furniture

Bite my lips (lover red) by the_lady_king: E, top quality canon verse wesper PWP

good vibrations by sixofcrowley: E, trans Wylan but otherwise canon verse, Jesper invents a vibrator

Chemistry by pigeontoad: E, wesper get high and get together [anything by this author is golden]

Like gravity by basicbard: M, post canon, wesper run into each other after having drifted apart

Also I know you specified finished but, I'm not even kidding, this is genuinely the best fic I've read in the last like, three years:

something to feel, to race through your blood and remind you you're here by anonymous: NR, modern roadtrip au ft trans Wylan and a teen pregnancy

[darksvster]

the grace of wild things (ch. 1) ➥ helnik — grishaverse college au everyone has something to do for winter break, but nina doesn't really have a home. and with matthias gone for the break, she decides to find something else to keep her company. a certain rude, messy curmudgeon. his name is trassel.

Hiii! I was wondering if you read fanfic?? And if so, what are your fav tropes/works??

Hi!!!! I read A LOT of fic from A LOT of fandoms! My fav tropes are either flat comedy or enemies to friends to lovers or friends to lovers or something like that! I only read happy endings, but I don’t mind some angst in the middle. Idk what fandom you’re looking for so I’m gonna give you a list of some of my all time favs from EVERY fandom, and I’ll add one that I’ve written!

Walk That Mile by purpledaisy- 150k words 1D enemies to friends to lovers road trip AU across the US for a fun, banter-y time with some real communication issues that really get resolved well. People always say that a rom com should have a good answer for “why can’t they be together NOW?” And this one does it really well! No real angst, and a lot of fun. 

Have Love, Will Travel by @kingsofeverything - 97k words 1D YouTubers on a roadtrip AU! If you liked the first one on this list, you’re gonna love this one too! Sweet and long and full of the memories you would make on a road trip. Lots of laughs with this one, and I wish I could see the “Have Road, Will Travel” video series irl! 

Tell Me Now, Tell Me Now by @vanillabeanniall - 55k words 1D Miraculous Ladybug AU but you don’t need to watch the show to ADORE it - I know that I sure do!! Funny and sweet and SUPER ironic, with superheroes and Paris mixed in and great characters! Who wouldn’t love it?

So Let’s Cross the Lines We’ve Lost by thecoloursneverfade - 165k words 1D friends to enemies to friends to lovers uni AU that was one of the first that I read in the fandom and really made me fall in love! Good friends, some angst, hard convos that lead to real growth, and lots of really great characters. This feels real, for a lack of a better word, and is always compelling. 

Ain’t That A Kick in the Head by keysmashlesbian, wreckingtomlinson (karasunonolibero) - 23k words 1D comedy AU ft. football player!Louis, Disaster gay!Harry, memes, frogs, head dives, Blue Coolattas (whatever those are), and a very sassy Red Robin waitress named Fiona. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve read it, and I always laugh, and I always find something new to fall in love with. 

Leave it To the Breeze by @hattalove - 82k words 1D GBBO AU. This one feels like a warm hug. It’s gentle, fun, has great characters, believable angst, has you rooting for more than one of the characters to win, and is also hilarious, somehow. I’ve read this fic over and over and over, and I especially do it when I have time before a new season of GBBO. Also, have snacks!! It makes me hungry

The Section by bananaheathen - 11k words 1D Uni AU with grad student TAs, sophomore undergrads, art classes, movie analysis, and final essays as methods of seduction. Also, nicknames, nude models, a Halloween party, and absolutely shameless flirting. I loved it, and laughed the whole way through. 

I’ve Heard it Both Ways by @adoredontour - 26k words 1D Psych AU. I love this one. I love the fic, I love psych, I love the author. I’ve read most of her works, but this one has such a special place in my heart. Go read it!! 

Play it All Night Long by janine_tangerine - 43k words SPN radio AU with DJ!Dean and bartender!Cas, with music, annoying coworkers, sassy siblings, and lots of love. WHOAH WHATS THIS A LIVEJOURNAL FIC??? I know but I read this ages ago, and it has music EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FIC! It was my first introduction to Bob Dylan, who remains one of my favorite artists of all time. 

Crossroads State by Mercy - 51k words SPN slice of life AU with Mechanic!Dean, Teacher!Cas, Law Student!Sam, and lovely lovely moments. All sweet, some tension, but no real angst. I read this forever ago, and still come back and back and back to it. 

Peace and Good Luck to All Men by KismetJeska - 31k words SPN College Au. DO YOU MEAN THE BEST CHRISTMAS FIC EVER OF ALL TIME??? I read this on the first day of December every year, and it makes me laugh every time. Cas falls in love with his sister’s boyfriend, Gabe and Luke are in a seduction competition, Michael is tired of everyone, and Dean doesn’t know what hit him. 

For All You Young Hockey Players, Pay Attention by @thursdaysfallenangel - 144k words SPN enemies to lovers hockey AU. Just. Please go read this. Gorgeous and still one of the best fics in the whole fandom, imo. Cas is the new transfer on Dean’s team, and Dean doesn’t like change. 

The Complete Works of Emmanuel Allen by @violue - 54k words SPN small town AU ft. writer!Cas and local business owner!Dean. Dean meets his favorite author, but does not know it’s him. Shenanigans ensue, with a lovely warm feel. Dean builds a mausoleum and owns cats and lives in the woods. Cas needs a change of scene. Sam thinks everyone needs some more company. 

The Mirror by cloudyjenn - 25k words SPN parallel universe AU. This was one of the first fics I ever read, and I still love it. Dean touches an enchanted mirror and travels through universes in search of an answer to a question he hasn’t asked. Full of love, family, and companionship. 

Asunder by rageprufrock - 24k words SPN AU with Social worker!Dean, Doctor!Cas, Sober!Sam, and RUBY!!! Ugh I love this fic for Ruby alone. This one is more bittersweet. Dean hasn’t spoken to Sam in years due to his struggles with addiction. Sam, now sober, is getting married, and has invited him. Dean can’t face his family alone. 

But It’s a Good Refrain by lady_ragnell - 23k words Merlin Radio AU! Merlin has an anonymous gossip radio show, and someone calls in to put Arthur on blast! Morgana is a fan, Arthur is not amused, and a sort of enemies to lovers thing occurs. Just lovely, and it makes me laugh every time. 

And Like the Cycle of the Year, We Begin Again by @katherynefromphilly - 208k words Merlin canon compliant. This is the Season 6 we should have had. If you’re at all into this fandom, go read it - it’s still an all time fav for me. Hundreds of years later, Arthur walks out of the lake. Merlin has been waiting. 

Give The Dragon a Chili by @supercalvin - 47k words Merlin magical AU based on the story in New Zealand of the cat stealing someone’s underwear. Merlin’s dragon is sort of a thief. 

Fundamental Imperfection by Starlingthefool - 12k words Merlin famous author AU. Arthur likes Dickens. Merlin does not. They get into it on a panel, and twitter stan wars ensue. And enemies to friends to lovers where literary arguments are an expression of love, and stories are magical. 

The Student Prince by FayJay - 145k words Merlin Uni AU. What a classic!! It’s a magical realism royal enemies to friends to lovers AU ft. a dragon in the walls, a lovely gay soc, Gwen as a Muggle, and some really great characters and moments. Do yourself a favor and go read this one. 

Call it Love by @dalek-in-heels - 30k words Merlin RPF. UGH THIS ONE!!! Okay 1.) the author is one of my best friends, and she’s amazing! 2.) lovely fic that takes place at the end of Merlin, and still has one of my all-time favorite misunderstandings in fic ever. “Yogurty Heart” is my favorite way to say I love you. 

If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things by @watsonshoneybee - 35k words Sherlock AU canon compliant through season 3. This one is sad, but the title is taken off of one of my favorite books, and the writing is gorgeous - as is the characterization. Happy ending, though! I promise! So the journey is all worth it! 

In All of the Lives We Are by @dalek-in-heels - 20k words The Magicians canon compliant through the first half of season 3. Sarah does it again and writes one of the best fics I’ve ever read. Art as therapy, a sweet love story in more than one universe, and finding the will to keep going through the worst days. The writers of the actual show should have read this fic and put it on the screen. This is my canon. 

A Happy Ending? Sure Enough by me (imbellarosa) - 8k words The Magicians canon compliant up to season 4. This is the only one of mine I’m putting on the list, because I still really like this one! You need some context, but not much? Idk, just if you want to see how *I* write!

Six of Crows followers

So I made an SOC exclusive blog called @icecourt-crows

I post writing pieces, reblog stuff, and general SOC content bc I love the series and I should reread them over the summer.

I’m currently working on a Modern AU / Roadtrip AU rn.

[jackwolfes]

if you still wanna talk about all your other wips i’m interested!!😌

oh love i always want to talk about my WIPs 😅

to be perfectly honest i've got writer's block BAD at the minute so i'm sort of not working on much of anything atm! january 2022 i took a big month-long break from posting and am probably going to do the same again this year (save for AM AU because that's already finalised)

the ones i've been particularly focused on lately are:

a very big very dark febuwhump fic that ties together all the prompts into a big long horrible narrative (which will be posted anon to a) avoid spamming folks with daily updates and b) to avoid getting fucking murdered in case people can't read tags)

comparatively a much nicer "there was only one bed" fic set in the immediate post-canon because shockingly, i have never written a take on the "i charge a steep fee/i'd like to make a downpayment" scene

the full list of them (+ some commentary) as they currently stand is under the cut if you're curious though:

soc:

a mystery valentines day fic for my GF which is a fudge shop au

dead jesper fic, which is fully written and just needs to be edited

wylan gets amnesia au, again fully written, just needs editing

the ever persistent sugar baby au which is ticking along

mini edits to arranged marriage au, plus a fair few pre- mid- and post-fic scenes (incl

kuwesper friends with benefits fic

kylan fucking in a private theatre box

the kylan/kawesper royalty au

the wynejesper fic aka wylan's sexuality exploration time

horny rockstar au

a very soft inesper first time fic that i've been playing around with

a few character studies about houses and homes

wedding florist wylan, most of which is him being stupid

a soft fluff fic where wylan gets high and makes a mess of himself

the cowritten "jesper can't read?" fic

a christmassy fic i'm cowriting with a friend wherein jesper gets catfished

the kazper fake married/"jesper gets left at the altar" fic

a wee lil nonbinary wylan fic/study that i think would really fit a big bang if the soc bb runs again this year 👀

a kazpernej pining fic that i'm in the plotting stages for because again, writer's block

similarly i've been thinking about my summery seaside au that i want to write but don't want to start when i have so many other long AUs i haven't touched

supermodel au which, annoyingly, i'm not sure works anymore as i've set it up

cowboy au, el dorado au, summertime cabin au and domx for hire wylan, all of which i'll definitely one day return to

trc:

the year of the otp challenge which i'm going to TRY and do for pynch, although i might need to backdate the first one because writer's block

what may end up being a full length bridgerton au but is currently just titled "bees?"

the jordeclan kink fic

the adam parrish kink character study

once for a tumblr ask i wrote a short snippet for a resurrection roadtrip au that i'm holding onto to see if i might want to carry on with it, but unsure

check please:

i'm still very very very very very fond of my zimbits superhero au so that's perpetually sticking around

i also really want to write a "bitty definitely has adhd" fic that ive outlined but not done much on

i'm also very nerve wrackingly looking at writing an original work!! which is scary and big! but i'm excited about it!

[psyche-draws]

you guys already know i’m a sucker for kanej

this AU belongs to me and @kazoo-brekker

headcanons:

•the car is matthias’s mini van (the only car that will fit all of them comfortably

•inej likes to open up the sun roof while they drive

•kaz and wylan get super invested in cutthroat kitchen (the only decent show on the motel tv after 12:00) and end up watching it whenever they can find it at their stops

•kaz considers being a food critic for a whole two seconds before a) he remembers he doesn’t eat enough and b) a woman’s fake nail ends up in the salad

•inej takes over driving for kaz at like 3 AM after a long sleepless night in a super sketchy room and forces him to sleep because it looks like he’s wearing really messy eye black

•nina continues to document all their adventures and now has a photo album labeled “kanej <3” that she shared with inej

•nina and matthias making waffles in the little hotel breakfast bar waffle maker

•jesper eating froot loops without milk while the others watch in disapproval

i love hearing from you guys so share your thoughts and headcanons too! ♥️

[psyche-draws]

kanej on a walk somewhere rural… maybe Lij…?

i made @gratzi-the-artist model for me so i could get the lighting and pose right 😊 it turns out drawing hoodies is HARD

headcanons:

•there was a solid week once where matthias only texted in gifs cause he thought it was “hip”

•kaz sleeps with socks, jesper is appalled jes can put up with a lot of crap from this guy but that is TOO FAR

•inej has the highest spice tolerance in the group and matthias and kaz can barely handle any spice without a few glasses of milk

•nina spends a lot of the car rides adding clothing items she’s nerving going to buy to her cart (asking matthias his opinion on most of them as she goes)

•matthias’s guilty pleasure is trashy westerns

•wylan has the most aesthetic instagram out of the group and nina is proud but also feels betrayed???

•wylan listens to owl city

what should i draw next for this au? share your thoughts and ideas (or personal headcanons) in the comments!

[psyche-draws]

Wylan and Nina are so underrated 😔 I had to give them a little time in the spotlight ♥️

this AU belongs to me and @kazoo-brekker

Headcanons:

•Nina packs eggos in her big red purse

•Jesper is the one to steal all the hotel shampoo and conditioner, etc

•Nina honks much too often so they try and keep her out of the drivers seat

•Inej breaks her hairbrush at one of the motels so she and kaz make a midnight grocery store run and come back with a hairbrush, chips, and $2 fuzzy socks with crows on them

•Matthias and Wylan play cup pong on GamePigeon

Let me know what you want to see next!

[psyche-draws]

Road Trip AU Nina!!!

This AU belongs to be and @kazoo-brekker

Headcanons:

•Wylan and Kaz end up watching cooking shows together in the motel room

•Inej hands kaz his food while they drive (he pretends to be annoyed by this)

•they go out for a nice sit down dinner one night and upon taking the first bite, Jes exclaims, “I FORGOT WHAT REAL FOOD TASTED LIKE!!!”

•At one of the motels they all sneak out to the pool after hours, Jes is in the pool, kaz is on a chair with a book, and the rest are all squished in the hot tub

•Matthias snores super loudly and they make a game of trying to quiet him without waking him up

•Matthias is the best speller out of the gang (he competed in spelling bees as a kid)

•Kaz taught Inej how to drive (she got a ticket in his car once and he’s never let her live it down, it’s become a joke between them)

Make sure to comment thoughts, ideas, personal headcanons, and what you want to see next!
