Ink's 2023 Fic
It’s the end of another year, and you know what that means! Or you joined me this year and don’t, one of the two. At the end of every year I post a list of everything I wrote to become my blog’s pinned post for the upcoming year. However, this year, it’s a bit different. We’ll get to that in a minute.
According to my AO3 stats, I posted 709,908 words of fic in 2023, across 8 fandoms and spread over 64 individual works. That’s a 765.784% increase in word count from last year! I’m unwell!
Normally, I post everything I wrote, split up by fandom and in chronological order, with basic stats and descriptions that vary between synopsis, liner notes, excerpts, or all of the above. However, 45 of those 64 works were written for Whumptober this year. Since they’re mostly for The Magnus Archives (dominating the list as usual) and many of them are very short, I’m not going to list all the TMA fics. I’ll list my favorites and ones I think got less attention than they deserved, as well as all fics for other fandoms, and since that’s my most popular stuff I’m listing it last/under the cut. Wordcount and relationships (romantic or platonic, healthy or not) are listed, but check the AO3 tags, warnings, and notes, as I won’t be including the content warnings here.
Batman
Mom’s Been On a Parenting Kick Lately- 9k, WIP, Talia/Bruce, Talia & Batkids;This is still getting off the ground (I need to get back to it), but I’m excited about the future of this fic! It’s my take on Jason’s post-resurrection time with the League of Assassins, but with timelines turned into spaghetti to facilitate bonding. Talia is currently in possession of 3 batkids, but she isn’t done stealing Bruce’s kids yet :)
i'd walk a wire, jump through a fire for you- 800, complete; literally just just shy of 1k about Dick have feelings about falling and parents
The Locked Tomb
lyin’ on our backs and countin’ the stars- 900, complete, John&Gideon; I’m actually shocked there aren’t way more John and Gideon “bonding” fics out there. This one also has a backstory for Gideon and Ianthe’s friendship bracelets!
The Adventure Zone- Balance
old worn out suit and shoes- 600, complete, Taako&Lup; Post-finale nightmares for Taako, now that he can remember he has a sister to lose
Malevolent
Please Come Back To Me- 2.9k, complete, Parker&Arthur; Parker lives and goes to hunt down and kill whatever used Arthur to try to kill him.
You’re here. That’s all I need to know.- 300 complete; Arthur finds Faroe in the bath.
Living, Dead, or Undecided?- 1.7k, complete; Arthur is sacrificed to the King in Yellow as punishment for what happened to Faroe.
His head and limbs were heavy with ornaments, much of his flesh left unprotected from the elements. It was far too mild a summer evening for that; he deserved to freeze or burn at the freedom of open air. His thoughts were fuzzy with the overpowering cacophony of scented oils and chanting. He was deposited at the top of the hill, too gentle in slope to burn at his atrophied muscles, on a stone slab. They chained him in place, the seeping stone finally sapping enough warmth from his bones to feel appropriate.
Dracula
i still see your ghost- 200, complete, Jonathan/Mina; Some fill-in angst about Jonathan seeing Dracula on September 22… which I did actually write on September 22.
Hannibal
I can’t remember if I cried- 1.7k, complete, Abigail/Marissa; This is actually a concept I came up with in high school lol. Hopefully, someday I’ll write a fic expanding on the shipping kernel of the concept.
Hench
The Kind of World Where We Belong- 1k, complete, Anna/Quantum; AU where Leviathan dies and femslash ensues.
The Magnus Archives
The Vampire Saga- 68k, 6 works, Jon/Martin; The first of several shared universes with @suttttton on this list. Vampire!Elias snacks on Jon until Vampire!Martin gets hold of him instead, fluff and romance ensue. The new works this year both feature Gerry!
The Vampire Saga Route 2- 38k, 7 works, Jon/Martin, Jon/Elias, Jon/suffering; Shares a few fics with its predecessor, up to Martin entering the picture, this is the darker version. Fic this year mostly focuses on Jon meeting Tim and Sasha, and the gang rescuing Danny from the Circus. And the aftermath thereof. I’m really proud of the Circus stuff I wrote!
Bird-Verse- 37k, 7 works, Jon/Beholding, Jon/Martin;Spin-off of cult au, also with Sutton, featuring a happier resolution to many of Jon’s problems, so he gets to live with all his friends and marry Martin. Except for how this year’s additions are about him dealing with the lingering cult intrusions and trauma :)
Indent AU- 50k, 2 works, Jon/everyone;My first foray into writing smut. I’m very proud of it, and I’d say it deserved more love than it got, but I’m realistic about the content being very much not for everyone.
Cult AU Bad Ending- 9k, 2 works, Jon/Beholding, Jon/Jonah; This is a good time to mention that, as I have 10,000 Cult AU derivatives, they have their own AO3 Collection now. This one is a far future fic where Jon is immortal with Jonah and sad about it. It’s a crier.
Interesting- 3.7k, complete, Jon/Elias, Jon/Martin; This is an old fic of Jon and Elias in the Panopticon that got a new chapter for Whumptober! It took about 2 years to get that draft to publication…
restless soul who always skips town- 900, complete, Jon/Peter; This is the one I most wish got more attention. Peter keeps Jon in the Lonely.
When Peter comes, it's wonderful. Peter is a person in a way the Archivist isn't and, he knows, Peter even sometimes leaves the fog. He knows it because Peter gives him journals that are red and gold and violet, so different from the limited palette of the fog and the Archivist and Peter that they make the Archivist's eyes hurt.
dead if they knew- 6k, complete, Elias/Jon/Tim; I had SO much fun fiddling to differentiate the four POVs from each other!
Familiar AU- 16k, 4 works, complete; Jon is kidnapped by Elias and turned into his familiar; for Sasha, Tim, and Martin, it’s a long, hard road to rescuing him.
no beat, no melody- 600, complete; Canon-compliant fic in between Jon getting the tape of the birthday party from MAG161 and the episode itself, hanging around the safehouse in the Depression Zone.
welcomed you with open doors- 1.6k, complete, Martin/Jon; Spiral!Martin in a role reversal au that swaps him and Michael. Martin is much more proactive as the Distortion (and more liable to fall in love with nearby Archivists)
save some face (you know you’ve only got one)- 1.4k, complete; Sasha is altered by the NotThem instead of killed. Half body horror, half giving her my fibromyalgia, all bad times!
somebody once broke me- 2.7k, complete, Jon&Gerry; Gerry lives! Visibly monstery Avatars! Jon gets kidnapped from a kidnapping! It’s all the hits for my body of work ;)
remember this moment- 3.8k, complete, Jon&Daisy; I initially planned this fic for, I think, Februwhump 2021. It’s been slated for every Februwhump and Whumptober since, and FINALLY finished!
Take Me Through the Darkness- 15k, complete; Superhero AU, ft. epistolary interludes! Several more of my greatest hits! (And also Jon getting kidnapped from another kidnapping.) My personal favorite is Jon thinking Tim is a hallucination and crying.
look upon your greatness (and she’ll send the call out)- 8k, complete; Cult AU AU where Georgie tracks Jon down a few months after his kidnapping.
The chances of Jon being abducted, held somewhere, and still alive are so narrow that they might as well not exist. Checking the resources the charity sent, Georgie realized it's even grimmer than that. She struggles to picture Jon doing anything to appease his captors. It's extremely easy, however, to picture him literally or figuratively daring them to kill him.
Something Wretched About This- 2.9k, complete, Jon&Tim; Jon returns from the Circus without vocal cords, and he and Tim have a moment of peace, if not reconciliation.
just like a real-life thelma and louise- 6.6k, complete, Sasha/Annabelle; Sasha and Annabelle have superpowers and escape from the lab experimenting on them.
Kinky Polychives AU- 70k, 2 works, WIP, Polychives; My second, much fluffier smut verse. I tagged Jon as “horny for predicaments instead of people” and I think it’s the thing that’s been commented on specifically by the most people lol
til the veins run red and blue- 200, complete, Jon/Martin; I really like the Lonely, and I don’t know why I don’t write it more. This one is a little Somewhere Else coda with Jmart
come home (to my heart)- 8.7k, complete, Jon&Gerry; a fusion of Little Archive and cult au where Jon is the specialest boy in the whole Cult of Beholding, and Gerry grew up with Mary. If anything I wrote this year gets a sequel, I think it’s this. The fic is all Gerry POV, but I had a chunk written in Jon POV I cut, ft. Jon convincing Beholding that he can definitely wander London solo and it’s FINE, he won’t disappear in the house of a murderer or anything… ;)
Extras- 18k, Jon/Martin; My fae au is complete, but this is a bunch of little bits that inspired me beyond the bounds of the main story, like meeting Melanie, Martin proposing, and so on.
sitting pretty on the throne, nothing more i want (except to be alone)- 217k, WIP, Jon/Beholding; Cult au wraps up another year! Hopefully, by this time next year, it’ll be complete at LAST!
Beneath the Stains of Time- 98k, WIP; Also a contender for longfic that I hope to finish in 2024! This year, we FINALLY got to the gang figuring out Jon’s identity and now it’s all unraveling…
Little Archive- 85k, WIP; Last but certainly not least! I’ve been so happy to see the warm reception for Cecile and Anika this year 💗

Jesus appears to His followers after His resurrection, and from the sound of it, His appearance was night and day different than how they saw Him just days before at His crucifixion.
No broken bones, bruises or wounds on His body. No black eyes or deformities. He didn’t have a cast, or bandages on His body.
He was healed.
The thing I find so profound though, is that He kept a few of the scars.
“Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see...” -Luke 24:39
He didn’t need to keep those marks from those nails, of course. He could have healed those scars right up.
But He kept the scars on His hands to show what He had overcome.
The scars were proof of the resurrection.
The proof that God conquers.
We don’t have those same scars as Jesus, but we do have our own scars that show our suffering.
Physical scars from things we’ve endured.
Emotional scars from the hurt and pain we’ve suffered.
Trauma scars from our past.
These scars tell a story about where we’ve been.. and what we’ve overcome.
Our scars can always be a reminder of the the scars that Jesus kept on His body, too.
Because our scars point back to the fact that He takes what is broken in our life, and resurrects it.
That’s what He does.
If you find yourself in a place where instead of a scar you have an open, gaping wound... He can bind that wound up.
In so many different ways, the Lord can help you heal.
And someday, when a scar is all that remains..
You can look at it to remember the Healer.
The one who takes the broken and redeems it.
The one who pulls us out of the pit and sets us on a rock.
The one who has victory in the end, every time.
Our scars can remind us what Jesus did on the cross, and what He still does today.

oops wrong blog but you know what. you SHOULD hear about raein and relihn's original warcraft canon where raein literally dies and due to Overarching Plot Reasons his soul gets sent to the specific realm where irredeemably evil spirits are tortured and torn to pieces for eternity.
and relihn dives into the afterlife to find him, only to find most of his soul fractured and missing and his memories replaced with unfathomable agony. but relihn finds the "piece" of raein's soul that's his love and devotion for others, and when relihn finds the "main" piece of raein's soul that a death knight has been trying to put back together (because he CLEARLY does not belong here) and returns the love/devotion peace to him, even though raein can't remember, he still FEELS that love/devotion for relihn and basically joins him at the hip.
so they have to run around basically The Most Hell Ever looking for the rest of his missing soul bits. all the while struggling because relihn doesn't want to impose their EXTREMELY established relationship (married w/ 2 kids) on a guy who Does Not Remember Fucking Anything, and raein can tell relihn is withholding something and ALSO can tell the intensity of these feelings he's rediscovered aren't like, JUST relief to see someone who isn't gonna torture his soul for sport, like there is SOMETHING here he just doesn't know WHAT.
and basically they go through the absolute Most Bullshit to piece raein's soul back together so he can be resurrected, because if they DON'T put his soul back together first, he won't recover any of the memories associated with whatever pieces remain missing, AND he'll come back "wrong", as in undead, and though he can't remember it, raein has HUUUUUUUGE trauma issues with the undead and it basically would have mentally destroyed him if he DID have all his memories, so relihn can't allow that to happen, but also can't let raein go, but also is personally fine about having an undead husband but knows the raein he remembers would rather Stay Dead than become the thing he fears the most, so it's like. a fucking mess.
to say nothing of the constant struggle of "i want you back so much but i'm afraid no matter how "right" i do it you're never really going to be "you" again and we'll both be miserable" and "i want to be whoever you remember me to be but even if i can 100% remember someday i'm still going to have THESE experiences too and i don't know if i can ever be who i was again and what if who i am after this isn't what you wanted" and it's delicious. ok. original canon bunny boyfriends lore bomb. goodnight

Ftr for people still lurking:
YES I am still a big sexy dragon with one muscular arm
YES I still flex at anti-kin to make them explode at my day job
NO I am not really posting on here anymore tho who knows maybe I'll resurrect this blog in the future~ ~ ~
On a srs note tho, times change and so have I. I ain't gonna lie to y'all. I'm not the shitpostin machine that I once was. The ravages of time have fluttered my scales and various arm hairs to the wind. Also I'm just not connected much to the otherkin community anymore so like am I the #relatable Trogdor to be posting shitpostz anymore? Probs not. I've changed a lot in the five or six or whatever amount of years this Tumblr.hell blog's been around since it was handed off to me, I also don't know if I want the baggage of people associating all the posts I've ever made on here with my current me. Im funny as fuck but Im also sure some shit hasn't aged well and that I probs don't agree with them anymore and I apologize for anything that fits the bill on that one. So maybe I'll start shitpostin again someday or maybe I won't but don't expect anything from me anytime soon

Last 5 Songs
Was tagged by @transprincecaspian - I think the goal was to list 5 songs you connect with your characters?? XD Anyway, if not that's what I'm making it now huehuehue. Thank you so much for the tag, this was so fun!!!
I tag: @albino-pony, @zundely, and @geologyofthedas! No pressure, but I'd love to learn more about your OCs! :D
This is for Kieran Lavellan, my mage Inquisitor who features in my fics (most of these were blessed to me by @beastofmoss)-
Overgrown Garden by Beetlebug
The thorns grew tighter every day / 'Round your ankles dripping red / You placed a crown of marigolds on my head / And then you said / As you tried to pull your bloody hands away / "I'm never gonna leave you behind someday / In the daisies and the bluebells / Weeping by the way / Because I love you / And I would do anything / I would do anything / Anything at all"
Bugbear by Chloe Moriondo
But it just sucks to try and explain / Why I feel like this everyday / My brain is surrounded by school kids / Who all got their valedictorian course / While I couldn't care enough about my 3.8 / No matter how hard I try / I'm still not trying hard enough to be great
Warm Regards by Penelope Scott
There's always something more that I could do / It doesn't even matter 'cause I don't wanna go / To college or to heaven or to anywhere alone / Nothing really matters from my point of view
My Throat is an Open Grave (Resurrected)
Fractured, broken, paralyzed / I need some space / Tear me open, analyze / "This isn't me," I used to say / All the love was so gone / It feels good to be alive / I've been dead for so long
I Hear a Symphony by Cody Fry
With simple songs I wanted more / Perfection is so quick to bore / You are more beautiful by far / Our flaws are who we really are
(I mainly post about Kieran, my fics, Dragon Age and going feral about Solas on my side blog: @fenharel-apologist94, in case you want to give me a follow there! :D)

Worthy Brief - April 1, 2024
Pete, where's faith when you need it!?!
Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
I could tell you about countless difficult and drawn-out circumstances over which we have tried to stand firmly in faith until they finally came to pass. Sometimes we made it and sometimes we were weak and began to doubt. But God mercifully came through for us on most of these things, despite our lack of strength to stay faith-ful.
There are some things in our lives that take a lot of prayer and a lot of faith to overcome. But why is it so hard sometimes to stand in faith for those things?
D.L. Moody spent many hours praying for faith. He once said, "If all the time I have spent praying for faith was put together, it would be months. I thought that someday faith was going to come down and strike me like lightning. But faith did not come. Then one day I read in the 10th chapter of Romans, "So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." I now opened my Bible and began to read God's Word and faith has been growing ever since."
Much of what we believers describe as 'faith' has nothing to do with Biblical faith. Our faith must not be based on emotion, or want, and not on the latest exciting conference or revival. But it must be centered on God's Word, on Yeshua (Jesus), His death and resurrection, His salvation. The Living Word is the eternal, everlasting love of God that has been poured out upon our lives.
Pete, let's read, hear, apply and live the Word today, and we will grow strong in faith!
Your family in the Lord with much agape love,
George, Baht Rivka, Obadiah and Elianna (Dallas, TX)
(Baltimore, Maryland)

Chorus.fm’s Top 30 Albums of 2023
And we are back, once again, with our annual ranking of our favorite albums of the year. Below you’ll find the contributor best of 2023 list with blurbs written by the staff talking about why we loved these albums. Each album title links to a streaming page so you can check out anything you may have missed. There’s also a playlist featuring a song from every album on this list, and a few staff members have shared their individual lists and some commentary in their blogs. As always, thanks for spending 2023 with us, and I hope you find something new to check out and love. Note: Check the bottom of this post for links to individual contributor lists. Top Albums of 2023 1. Fall Out Boy – So Much (for) Stardust As long as this corner of the internet has been hopping along, Fall Out Boy have been one of those bands who have always been top of mind. And that’s not just because of their ascension from a small pop-punk band that was featured on MTV to playing arenas all over the world, but rather due to the band’s innate ability to make you feel something in their music. Whether it be Pete Wentz’s knack for writing killer lyrics in a hook that stays in your mind for days on end, to Patrick Stump’s vocal range that puts most band’s frontmen to shame, Fall Out Boy have earned their right at the top of the mountain of this scene’s popularity. So Much (For) Stardust took all of that long-lived legacy of the band, rolled it up into a complex firecracker, and exploded in magical/vibrant colors all over the place. The promotion cycle even included the very first vinyl record to include the band members’ tears (called “Crynyl”), and singles that will ultimately stand the test of time even as we turn the page on 2023. Fall Out Boy are undeniable, and they made their way towards the top of our contributors’ list once again. – Adam Grundy 2. Blink-182 – One More Time… Having Tom Delonge back in Blink-182 just feels right. Like that last missing piece in a jigsaw puzzle, or a connection with an old friend you haven’t seen in forever, having Tom back in the fold in the classic Blink lineup makes everything better. Jason wrote (HYPERLINK) majestically about this exact feeling in his “essential reading” review of the album, and it’s hard to not get a little emotional when hearing their comeback single “One More Time” with the gut-wrenching refrain of “Do I have to die to hear you miss me?” Blink-182 means so much to so many people, so to have these three musicians and beautiful souls re-connecting on all cylinders was quite the treat in ‘23. From completing the “Anthem trilogy” in “Anthem Pt. 3” kicking off the LP to the closing notes of “Childhood” wrapping up this latest chapter in the band members’ lives, everything clicked directly into place at just the right time. It’s a magical formula that you just can’t quantify, but you know it’s there when you hear it. The three core members of Blink-182 are back, the tunes are awesome, and all is right in the music world once again. – Adam Grundy 3. The Gaslight Anthem – History Books Resurrection. If there was one theme to the music of 2023, that might have been it. So many bands I never, ever thought I’d hear new music from again in my life came roaring back into the picture, often with vital work. History Books brings back the long-dormant Gaslight Anthem, but not in a way that pretends time hasn’t passed. Instead, History Books contends with all those years – with time and battle scars and mortality – and does it so beautifully. “We circle ‘round the sun until someday we won’t”; “I was invincible many years ago when I was so much stronger”; “I wish I could do my life over, I’d be young better now.” Again and again on this album, frontman Brian Fallon sings about the burden of age and how it humbles you. Fallon writing about faded youth isn’t necessarily new, but it hits different when you’re pushing mid-30s or 40s than it did when you were 21, and it hits different when his voice sounds… https://chorus.fm/features/articles/chorus-fms-top-30-albums-of-2023/

resurrecting this blog again because ohhhh my god. holy fuck
I'm 19 now. C and I broke up a while ago and we're both doing alright and still friends/roommates (we live together now)
I'm working at a coffee shop and am no longer at McDonald's (thank fucking god)
there's a girl that I work with at this coffee shop and I've avoided saying it like this because I don't want to come off as clingy or obsessive but I love her. I love her so fucking much it makes me sick. I never want to go a moment without her.
I asked her out a while ago and she very politely rejected me and explained that because shes a supervisor it probably isn't a great idea with work. she's also about 10 years older than me so the age gap was another thing she wasn't super comfortable with, but otherwise she thinks I'm cool and still wants to be friends which im all cool with
it's so hard. I want to be able to just be friends rather than friends but my side of things is more romantic interest than something platonic but i can't put it aside. I hate being without her. I want to hold her close and never let her go. I would do just about anything to make her happy. I want to be with her so fucking bad. I'm trying to stay optimistic in that maybe we can date someday when we aren't working at the same store anymore and maybe im a little older but fuck. I don't know what to do. every other thought I have is about her and how much I love her. I wish we could do more together but she's so busy, we do hang out sometimes tho
she kinda has an idea about how I feel towards her, since I've told her a bit of it, but I don't think she knows just how deep all of this is for me. as far as she knows it's just a little crush, I kinda like her and think being together would be cool. idk. I want to tell her but I dont want to ruin us being friends or anything
