[inklingmobs]

Y’all i just started a new fic im super proud of 🙏 its going to be one hell of a ride with a shit ton of skybound jay angst so sit tight, beware the warnings, grab some tissues, and enjoy the ride

[silverwolf1249]

Civilian Dr. Bruce Wayne au where he meets every batkid in the hospital he works at or during serious medical emergencies, and decides to take them in as his own. Side note, the kids do not become vigilantes, but it's not a completely no capes au either. Still deciding whether I want to turn it into a whole blown work on ao3 or just keep posting it here.

Dick Grayson Part 1:

When his parents are killed, Bruce doesn't go out of his way to find their killer and get revenge. Instead, he wished to be able to prevent as much loss of life as he possibly can. He left WE in Lucius' capable hands, and becomes a doctor. He's good at it, firm steady hands with a will of steel, full of determination and drive. In another world, Bruce would have used those same qualities to don the cowl, but not in this one.

He's halfway through his residency at Gotham General when he spots a flyer for a visiting circus. He has a day off around that time, and decides it couldn't hurt to try something different than usual. Bruce is in the audience when he notices something is very very wrong. Before he can even blink, the Flying Graysons begin plummeting to their deaths. Bruce looks up to the platform and, eyes widening with horror, leaps to his feet, pushing his way through the panicked crowd, eyes stuck on the boy desperately trying to keep his hold on the edge of the platform.

He remembers the wire had snapped just as the child was being thrown into the air, destroying his original trajectory. Bruce wanted to be able to catch the boy, break his fall, anything...but all he could do was struggle against the crowd rushing towards him, and watch the strength leave the boy's fingers as they let go of the ledge.

Time seemed to slow as Bruce watched the boy, whose arms lifted up as if he could touch the sky through the large tent they were in, falling like Icarus who flew too close to the sun. The moment is broken the moment the child hits the earth, and Bruce can scarcely breathe. Unbidden, memories flash through his mind, a happy family, a doting mother and father with a different boy with blue eyes and black hair that had also watched his parents die that night.

He fights with renewed vigor to escape, unwilling to admit to himself that the child was most likely a lost cause as his parents. It only takes another minute or so of working against the crowd before he manages to get past them to race to the boy's side. He pauses for a brief moment to collect himself, he couldn't lose control when there were people to treat in front of him.

He kneels on one knee and checks the boy's parents first, wishing that he had brought any kind of medical equipment on him. No breath, and no pulse, though it wasn't as he had high hopes to begin with by the state of their bodies, so Bruce moved quickly to the kid. Glassy, bright blue eyes attempted their best to focus on him, startling Bruce for a second before he realized what this meant.

He screamed for an ambulance immediately, and waited next to the boy as it took it's sweet time. He was mad at himself for being unable to help the child with the too bright blue eyes, nothing that he could do that would reassure him that everything would be alright. As the paramedics arrive, he is helpless to do anything but watch them carefully lift the boy onto a gurney and disappear off into the night.

Do you have any favorite Nuzi fanfics? Whether it’s AO3 or elsewhere?

As of now i havn't read or written much of anything for a while due to my ptsd and anxiety attacks- but if i had to chose, i do have a few that im hoping gets continued-

By Chance - by spero11 / @/ao3.spero11 on instagram - is a human au and one of the few fics that alot of people seem to like and have been getting really popular too, esp on twitter. i have read it and im eager to see what will come next- though the angst and cliffhangers really mess you up sometimes 🥲 esp since all the characters are going through mental challanges and its emotionally charged, so some chapters were hard for me to get through.

Helium - by Jooseralt / @jooseralt - is another human au fic by my bestie and they deserve a lot more recognition uwu<3 the fic really makes me feel happy and the progress is light enough to not put as much mental strain as "by chance" but still shows hardships enough for you to stick around to see what would happen. also Alice being Uzis aunt and Beu being Uzis lil cousin is something i never thought id love but here we are 😭💕

these two are the only ones id actively reccomend i suppose- most other nuzi fics i read are oneshots and i really dont have much patience for waiting for several fics to update at a time so i stick to only a few.

BUT

theres also Jazz Music and Killer Robots - by solgaletta - an 20s theme regular drone au where Uzi is a flapper gal and the DDs are gangsters- its a simple not so long 5ch story but lordddd i absolutely adore it like a tresure 😔- everything is just so pretty to visualize to me and the theme just FITS. also music and performance related? sign me the fUCK UP-

honestly i wish there were more creative ones like this 😔 anyway if anyone else knows any other good creative fics, yall can write them down here in the notes, with a short description if you can, for me to see too :"D

[preferrably something finished and not ongoing unless its really good]

Fire God Liu age regressor? Ooh! Maybe with human Raiden as caregiver?

THERES A BUNCH OF ANGST BECAUSE I HAVE SO MANT FEELINGS ABOUT LIU KANG AND I WOULD LIKE TO APOLIGIZE NOW, POOKIES. <3 <3 <3 🥺

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

CG Raiden w/ Regressor Liu Kang Hcs

🌟 MK9-11 Liu Kang vs MK1 Lord Liu Kang regress very differently

🌩 MK9-11 Liu Kang regresses to about 4-5

🌟 But Lord Liu Kang regressed to about 2-3, very small baby

🌩 Raiden and Kung Lao are his favorite CG’s but well focus more on Raiden <3

🌟 Loves his babysitters though!! A lot of people babysit him (his Kitana tries when she can <3, I like breaking canon)

🌩 Unfortunately, Liu Kang has a habit of pushing off his regression until he's physically unable to

🌟 Swears it's not a problem, but it very much is

🌩 He's constantly worrying and trying to fix his timeline and others and doesn't like relaxing until he feels like he's done everything correct and right

🌟 ^ Raiden is helping him break this habit, don't worry, he'll be okay :3

🌩 Learnt of age regression from Fujin in his old timeline, and used it as a coping mechanism there (also helped take care of his Kung Lao so he has CG experience)

🌟 Uses both regressing and CGing as coping mechanism though, absolutely adores spending time with his littles

🌩 Didn't like regressing for a VERY long time and got upset whenever he did before he got Raiden and the others in his life

🌟 ^ He didn't like how alone and scared he felt all alone

🌩 (Don't worry though!! He had Geras, he helped a ton)

🌟 The first time he regressed around the others (and how they found out) is that he actually broke down because he was feeling small and Raiden was there to comfort him and it reminded him of his Raiden

🌩 (^ I don't mean to promote my AO3 in this, but I do have a fic of this!!)

🌟 I'm going to stay on the angst train, Liu Kang regresses very small and becomes very clingy when he thinks about his past timeline

🌩 He knows that his new friends aren't his old friends, but he still likes to cling to them

🌟 Raiden doesn't mind this at all, he knows Liu Kang still misses his old friends (will remind him that he's his own person though, and that he's going to be okay)

🌩 Liu Kang calls Raiden 'Rai Rai', but Dada has slipped in a few times and he'll tear up a bit

🌟 His old Raiden was his Dada (or Grandpa of he was trying to make Lord Raiden mad >:3)

🌩 When he's not breaking down, Liu Kang is actually a very sweet little

🌟 Doesn't like getting in trouble, doesn't like getting yelled at, doesn't like any of that

🌩 Its actually perfect because Raiden doesn't like punishments and would rather talk about what happened, maybe a stern voice when he needs it

🌟 However, Liu Kang has thrown a few hissy fits when he's angry or really frustrated, and unfortunately this has involved his powers activating

🌩 Raiden usually stands a few feet away and puts out whatever Liu Kang sets on fire

🌟 Liu Kang always feels really bad whenever his little tantrum ends, and will begin blubbering out apologize

🌩 Depending on the damage depends on how mad Raiden gets, although he does use the situation to express how important it is for Liu Kang to communicate his feelings in healthier ways

🌟 Luckily, however, these tantrums don't happen very often, and the damage isn't anything worse than a few burn marks on the floor (they were terrible when Liu Kang was training for the tournament in his old timeline)

🌩 Otherwise, Liu Kang is a very sweet little

🌟 Super energetic though

🌩 Raiden is a lap baby, Kung Lao feels like a leash kid at times, and Liu Kang has a decent mix

🌟 Adores sitting on Raiden's lap and having story time

🌩 Also adores rolling around and having fun and giggles

🌟 Will attempt to do his really cool ninja moves (and pouts when Raiden tells him not to

🌩 It's fine, he'll just have to show Raiden this new skill!! (Raiden also said no >:(

🌟 Normally takes no for an answer, and will give puppy eyes and beg for five more minutes? Two more minutes? One more minutes?

🌩 Likes going to the Whushu garden while small

🌟 Pretty flowers? He loves pretty flowers!!

🌩 Trees? He'll climb them!! (Doesn't get super high and Raiden is always next to him just in case)

🌟 Use to really like play wrestling although now he's a bit too small for it

🌩 It's okie though, Raiden will so easy on him

🌟 Favorite little nicknames are Liu-Liu, Liu, Firestarter, Little Flame, Tiny Fire, Hatchling, Squirt, Little Dragon

🌩 On the topic of dragons, my gosh, he is obsessed

🌟 Has two plushies and they're both his favorites, please don't make him choose

🌩 One is from his old timeline, a monkey plushie his old Kung Lao gave him (Kung Lao use to call him a monkey cause he was so energetic)

🌟 Y'all when I tell you that stuffie looks like it's been dragged across the Netherrealm and drowned in a pool . . . I mean it

🌩 Bald spots, rough fur, barely holding onto the limbs (he's been very loved)

🌟 Liu Kang sobs whenever it gets even the smallest tear and Kung Lao has to fix it, Raiden isn't allowed to fix it, it has to be Kung Lao (it also might send Liu Kang spiraling)

🌩 His other stuffie is a dragon!! She's still new and very soft and fuzzy (Raiden got it for him)

🌟 Raiden makes sure both stuffies get love and care and feel are ‘healthy’

🌩 Most of Liu Kang's regression items are dragon related (although he doesn't own much)

🌟 He doesn't buy himself things but gets really happy whenever Raiden gets him stuff

🌩 HAS ONE OF THOSE BLANKIES WITH A DRAGON HOOD AND I STAND BY THAT

🌟 Ngl, I could also totally see him as a dragon regressor too

🌩 ^ The blankie really helps him slip into that mindset

🌟 Steals. Everything.

🌩 Raiden could spend thirty minutes trying to find his hat and it's on Liu Kang's head in his nest of everyone's favorite things

🌟 Back off!! Its all his!! >:(

🌩 (He'll later apologize for stealing everything and sheepishly give them back to everyone)

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Stop, I'm so sorry for how much Liu Kang stuff there is. He's my favorite tragedy. 🥺

Awesome fics for @heckitall

These are the fics I am reading/have read in my subscriptions on ao3. I'm a little behind unfortunately. I would link everything in my bookmarks but uhh, theres 699 fics there. So many incredible fics I have yet to read! Also, all of these fic authors have tumblrs except one (Below the Surface).

I'll make a separate post for comics au blogs to check out.

A Tale of Spirits: The tmnt get transported to the atla universe. It's awesome.

all the ashes in my wake: Leo gets Ella Enchanted. ANGST ensues.

Below the Surface: Post movie fic. I really love this one.

Change of Perspective: Body swap fic but ANGST.

hollow mind: Leo gets chased by the EPF. I LOVE THIS FIC.

I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good: Leo is cursed, never to be seen, never to be heard, never to be felt. THIS FIC IS AMAZING.

Like Father Like Son: Whoo boy. My first rise fanfic I read. Probably wouldn't still be here without it. It's amazing. Draxum kidnaps Leo and forces him to be his soldier to destroy humanity. ANGST ANGST ANGST.

Peepaw Multiverse

At My Worst: F!Leo's spirit gets tossed back in time into his younger self's body and now he has a second chance to stop the apocalypse.

Ghost in the Shell: SAINW Donnie from 2k3 gets transported to the rise universe to look after the boys. (Has not read yet and I hate myself for it). Ghost didn't make it to second place in the Peepaw tournament for nothing though. I know it's amazing.

Last Grain of Sand in the Hourglass: Instead of saving Leo from the prison dimension, F!Leo is accidentally pulled out. Now it's a race to save lil Leo before it's too late. AMAZING INCREDIBLE EATS IT ALL.

Mutant Ninja Midlife Crisis: Peepaw Leo goes back in time. Incredible fic. Very action packed.

not quite kintsugi, but close: Peepaw Leo goes back in time. So very wholesome. No angst. Very lovely fic.

Odd Man Out: Peepaw Leo goes back in time. Slice of life.

too lucky to count: Peepaw Mikey goes back in time. Leo has a problem with this.

Trial And Error: Peepaw Leo goes back in time. Very focused on the relationship between Leo and Peepaw. And world saving.

we'll meet again soon: Let's save everybody! Very comforting.

Separated Aus

Red Rover Red Rover Send My Brothers On Over: Raph was raised by Splinter and the Leo, Mikey, and Don by Draxum. Mostly hurt, not a lot of comfort.

[tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors]

Hi!! I've been making my way through all of UT writing on ao3 again, and I just re read aces in the laoft-verse. It's so good!!!! I was wondering if u could tell us more about Andy and Teagan's relationship? I always love ur take on qpp's. (It can be a prompt if u want to write about it, but even some spare headcannons would be swell lol). Thanks!!!

halfway between hcs and bullet fic it is

initially they bond a lot over being aspec - andy is aroace, and teagan is asexual biromantic

and then teagan gets a crush on andy

which sucks

they feel REALLY BAD ABOUT IT because they know Andy's aro, so theyre in this really uncomfy soup of pining + guilty about being pining + angsting about how theres No Possible Way anything could work out

and then andy asks them on a date

cue bluescreen

teagan: pardon?

andy: yeah i think we're really compatible i'd like to give it a shot

teagan: pardon?

tee eventually manages to cotton on that andy is asking them if they want to be in a qpr (a term that tee, as an alloromantic, is not 100% solid on) and teagan admits that theyre romantically attracted to andy complete with a lot of self-flagellating

andy: oh thats fine

teagan: PARDON?

andy's pretty romance-neutral in the sense that he doesnt care if tees romantically attracted to him, as long as tee's sure theyre not going to be unhappy (with the relationship or him) about the fact that he's never going to reciprocate

and teagan was honestly not sure at first if they would be! and andy said that was fine, and that they could think about it, and if teagan decided they wanted to give ThemTM a shot the ball was in their court.

now teagans freaking out because how do you ask someone out in a Strictly Non-Romantic Way

they eventually decided on one of those unfoldable letter booklets that said "platonically date me bro"

andy thought it was obnoxious and loved it

they don't kiss but they do cuddle and hold hands (andy is especially prone to just like. picking teagan up like a plush and cuddling them aggressively to relieve his anxiety)

they are good for each other, but there is a bit of stutter-stopping in the beginning with teagan trying Way Too Hard to stay strictly within "the boundaries" of qpr/Non-RomanceTM without really understanding that a qpr is specifically outside of relationship boxes, not A New Box

they do eventually get married but in the "we went to the court house and filled out paperwork to be each others next of kin" kinda way

[levmada]

Hello Kane! I was wondering if you could recommend to me your favorite eruri fics, please? Thanks for answering 💓

yes for sure! eruri is my favorite. here's a top 10:

This Feeling I'll Forget by thefangirlingdead

Levi suffers from short term memory loss, and while that makes it hard for him to find love, he finds Erwin.

completely iconic. just a beautiful oneshot with angst, fluff, and falling in love. seriously can't reccommend enough regardless of what you're looking for.

ALL of obiwhat's eruri fics

especially if you are a fan of hurt/comfort or sickfics. there's not a single one i don't hold in insanely high regard.

1 the smell of rain (my favorite)

2 desire to burn

3 rice porridge (INSANELY cute)

THE TWO OF THEM BY FUCHSIARING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the two of them by fuchsiaring

It roils in his chest: desperate, aching, empty. It sears his throat, stings his eyes. He’s dizzy with it, how it hurts, how he needs it. It burns like a wound, sweet like the summer breeze, and Levi relishes, lets it swell, lets it overtake him. --OR-- 5 times Levi cries during sex + 1 time he doesn’t

hands-down the best eruri fic i've ever read. i believe in my ao3 bookmarks i have that exact note lol. i binged it all in under a day and then reread it the next day.

it's how i got inspired to write my first longfic (in the aot fandom), and to write eruri (after writing xReader for a long time). ughh it's so sexy and sweet and even a canon fix-it on top of all that. SRSLY is a must-read if u like eruri.

when making this list i went back and had to reread a chapter

in restless silence by GateBreaker

Levi stares at their joined hands, eyes rounded and a bit lost.

Worried, Erwin gently prompts him. “Levi?”

“I had them,” wide eyes stare into Erwin’s, imploring. “I had them, Erwin.”

VERY hurt comfort-y. that's by far my biggest taste if no one can tell yet.

I Can Help You, You Know by avatays

Levi didn’t say anything, just pursed his lips and stared at the desk. Erwin didn’t understand why Levi was so uncomfortable, until he realized— “Levi,” he began softly. “Can you not read?” --- Erwin finds out that Levi never learned to read. He decides to fix that.

Tailor Made by Occasus

The one where Erwin takes Levi to the tailor.

🧎🏻oh jesus. pretty much pwp. erwin is kind of a kinky fuck, oral, and there's breathplay

With You by FoggyGlasses

In the warm Summer breeze, Levi is helping clean out old documents from Erwin's office. When faced with papers he can't read, Levi goes to the commander for help. After a short lesson with lots of encouragement, both men are reluctant to leave each other's comfort. The gentle sunlight leaves them reveling in each other's love.

I Will Love You by thefangirlingdead

Levi tells Erwin that he loves him right before their certain death on the battlefield. Only, they don't die.

FOFRJEROIGJFE

Let Me Take Care of You by inkbetweenthekeys

After returning from a mission into Maria territory, Levi seeks Erwin out. Erwin is frustrated that Levi doesn't take better care of himself.

i reread this one a lot. comfort with smut, levi injured

Anything You Want by fuchsiaring

“It’s not what you think,” Levi says, words spilling out fast. His low voice is strained, just a bit, just enough that Erwin can hear the tension. “I kept it to fix the sleeve, I, uh… I’m going to sew the button back on. I’ll wash it and give it back, as… as soon as it’s fixed.” Never, not once in the years since they met, has Erwin heard Levi stammer like this.

“Why are you wearing it?”

oh jesussss🧎🏻virgin levi and service top erwin in canonverse. just so sexy theres nothing else to say wow

[comradeboyhalo]

Okay—you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to..! But I’m actually SO curious on your essay thoughts of q!Bad in 4halo fics. Because (I think) it’s kind of rare that q!Bad is depicted accurately in.. most qsmp ship fics. And I feel like q!Bad always becomes.. obsessed with romance with q!Forever in many 4halo fics?? Or super open + emotionally stable?? I don’t know how to explain it, but that’s why I’m curious of your thoughts (because I’ve read your fics and 100% trust your characterizations, especially of BBH cubitos <3)

hihi always down to ramble. and i agree, a lot of bad's flaws are smoothed over in 4halo fics, which makes him incredibly ooc. also, i dont think that these mischaracterizations are necessarily bad, i understand that in fluff fics (or angst fics, which im guilty of) sometimes theres no room in tone to fully capture all of q!bad's complexities. but that doesn't mean i cant have some gripes!

i dont think this is exclusive to 4halo, but 4halo is also bad's current biggest ship, so a lot of it just happens to fall on it. but i really hate how fanon!bad gets stripped down to a mere love interest who is just...very perfect in how he interacts with romance. he wants to go on cute dates, he confesses in a very sweet way. he is kind and nice and a little insecure, and is just so boring. its very much reminiscent of old skephalo fics, where bad is seen as "innocent" and then any other interesting trait of his gets stripped away. i also end up feeling im reading about a highschooler, when q!bad is 11k+ and cc!bad (obviously influential of his character) is in his late 20s.

again, i understand why people write 4halo on cute dates and first kisses. thats what fanfic is for! but i cant help but see the entirety of the ao3 page full of these very...allo-typical romance plots and think "...he would not fucking say that." q!bad is messy as fuck! if you don't interpret him as arospec, then hes at the very least repressed, and not in a cute YA romance way. a 1k fic of pining that ends in a nice love confession just doesnt convince me im sorry!

and then there's the blue diamond obstacle that gets in the way of 4halo monogamy....skeppy. again, i get why most 4halo shippers arent going to mention him, cause theyre just not into anything skephalo. i cant blame them for that. but im a master nitpicker, so ill still nitpick cause this is my blog. bad brushing over skeppy is ooc. bad acting as if skeppy is in the past is ooc. bad pursuing any form of relationship without including skeppy is ooc. bad choosing any other person but skeppy to be his #1 is ooc. and yeah it sucks for shipping if you dislike q!skephalo, but thats how it is and its not changing. and also any fics that push bad to "move on" from skeppy is just ??? not only is that his soulmate across lifetimes, but skeppy isnt dead? hes just not on the island? help??? bad has two hands, but one hand will always hold skeppy's and he's made that abundantly clear many times.

anyways im also not immune to q!bad butchering in 4halo fics! ill admit that, in writing the hanahaki au, i couldn't really find time to fit a lot of q!bad's humor into it, and he ended up more openly angsty and sad and vulnerable then he really is, or would ever be. so i totally get it, and im fine if other qbad viewers despise how he's written in it. however i will stand by the fact that q4halo would never pursue a traditional relationship together, and i chose the ending to be ambiguous because thats how i believe their relationship (and feelings) are: ambiguous. that's why, to me, 4halo is so good. i don't want to read about them confessing their feelings. i want to read about how their relationship is an undefined, confusing mess that will never be defined, and im just so surprised that there aren't more fics like that out there.

fic writer meme

ty lore @megafaunatic for tagging meee :3c

How many works do you have on Ao3?

fifty three as of today. tomorrow? who knows.... (probably still fifty three)

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

518,435 words .... wrow.....

3. What fandoms do you write for?

historically its been all over the place but theres so much stuff rotting and dying in my gdrive that has never been posted so i feel like i have a broader actual ouvre than is represented on ao3. which is mdzs heavy at least in the past couple years

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

5. beyond all limit (wangxian i wrote for lore right after i first read the book) 4. if the story's over (moshang post-divorce get-together fic) 3. someone as good for me as you (written in 2016 for holster and ransom when i was reading check, please. LMAO) 2. at least as deep as the pacific ocean (written in 2015 in the clearest example of 'person distraught by the tragic ending of a tragedy misses the fucking point and writes a coffee shop au of achilles and patroclus after she read tsoa' ever, even bigger LMAO) 1. your name safe in their mouth (lsz gets his dad back, and other emotional adventures)

5. Do you respond to comments?

i used to try to reply to every comment i got but i stopped doing that around the same time i went to college and got more depressed. but i love reading comments and i sometimes reply if someone says something that moves me or like. asks me a question about the fic that i want to elaborate on? because i love to yap

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i'm not really good at writing straight angst i feel like it's normally like. angst with catharsis. but i wrote some explorations on grief in the past couple years that i feel like have the angst factor (what i have of you about nhs after nmj dies, and then when your beard fell out about my sweetie pie kageyama tobio in middle school after his grandpa dies)

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

i have a lot of silly fluffy fics... idk i try to toe the line mostly of like. the joys and sadnesses of human experience but sometimes you just gotta fluff it up. i'll set the table, you can make the fire, which is book verse aziraphale/crowley living in a cottage and being in love, comes to mind....i love that one

8. Do you get hate on fics?

i don't think i've ever really gotten hate on a fic? i have been extremely lucky in that regard. especially since my whole ouvre from like 2014 onward is on that damn site and much of it is very cringeworthy.

9. Do you write smut?

not well!

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

i often will do like kind of a quasi-crossover kind of thing rather than a True Crossover wherein i take characters i like from one medium and plop them into the roles and places of characters i like from another medium. i did a dragon age wangxian fic where lwj was the inquisitor from da:i called we held together the fragile sky that kind of exemplifies this dynamic

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of or that anyone has ever notified me of, but i also don't look that hard. if this has ever happened, it would hurt my feelings, so please don't do it ? lol

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

yes!!!! and i was honored

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

not as such but i have one not-intended-for-posting fic which is basically just a transcription of jokes i have with my roommate about haikyuu characters LOL which i think counts as co-writing. she's my co-writer in spirit even if i'm the one at the keyboard

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

my answer to this changes with every new fixation i have. like right now it's kagehina. if you asked me four years ago i would have said wangxian. You Know?

15. What is a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

SO MANY...i think probably my fullmetal alchemist nie brothers au....i try not to post things until they are done and fully edited now, but that one was a whim-based fic that i lost all strength for as soon as i started thinking too hard about kagehina. i also had a fem nielan sci fi au that was vaguely based off beauty and the beast but nmj was like stuck in a ship and she thought she was its computer and that she was a program but she was actually a person....which i never posted any of except snippets on twitter and i think it was just too sprawling for my current skill level...i just was never able to wrangle it. but i am fond of it nonetheless

16. What are your writing strengths?

based on what other people have told me i would say the way i write sibling / family relationships, and while my prose is not always pretty i do think it can be pretty at times ...

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

i feel like it's often too self-indulgent even if that's what fic is for lol, and i tend to look back on fics and think, i wrote that because i had feelings about it and wanted to say it, but i'm not necessarily sure that This Character would say/do that at this point in time....idk like i fear that when i don't think about it hard enough my characterization can be weak or guided by what eye personally would do vs. what The Character would do. but some of that is because the majority of my fics on ao3 are from years and years ago and i (hopefully) have continued to improve

18. Thoughts of writing dialogue in another language in fics?

i'm picky about it but when it's done well i think it's really fun and builds so much of the world/character. i think when it's bad it's really bad. when i go about it i try to think about like, a) do i know this language myself/do i know someone who does. if the answer is no i try to keep it really minimal. b) how do people who know multiple languages approach speaking those multiple languages naturally in real life. like (IN MY EXPERIENCE) ppl don't tend to switch languages for random words mid-sentence unless those words are like, mom, dad, uncle, aunt, ect...maybe swearing if they're less familiar with one of the languages and don't know slang/swearing in it...but again when it's done well it's really good and i'm not an expert. i just can kinda tell when it feels off when i read it, if that makes sense...(it's the same way i feel about grammar lol. sometimes i can just tell it's a little Off)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

probably either fma or soul eater or the sister's grimm book series when i was in middle school. or maybe doctor who? idk i had a lot of fanfic notebooks that i have since destroyed and then regretted destroying

20. Favorite fic you have written?

at the present moment it's in these coming years my kagehina love letter but again i feel like it changes constantly. like the more i write the better i get and the more the newest/most polished thing i've written sort of Becomes my favorite just by default of my satisfaction level with it. sorry if that's a bad answer

Lost a fanfic

Word Count: 1200+

There was a The Sandman fanfic on AO3 that I had read long ago. I neglected to record or even look at the title and author of the story. And now i lost it. But i want to return and reread it. Or check if it updated.  Help me find it.

I first read it in maybe february or March 2023. I don't know when it was first published or updated. I didn't checked the date. I neglected to. It’s a bad habit where i read a bunch of short fics in a single night, not care for title, and focus more on word and chapter count. Because “i wanted something short.” 

This habit carries over in my YT watching habits and is equally bad. Something to do with attention span and stuff. 

Whenever I return to the site to find it, i fail. The tags and filters fail me. Somehow, it always brings me to less than x number of fics. When I am absolutely sure that there are more than x number of fics with the tags/characters/filters I'm looking for. Maybe because some writers neglected or selectively chooses some tags. 

Idk. the filters weren't helping me. 

Lets see what I can remember about the fanfic and tags and characters. Spoilers below:

I vaguely recall a “angst with happy ending” tag. Im pretty sure the rating was E for explicit. There were some rather graphic scenes. Was it graphic? What if it was actually M for Mature?? 

Idr other tags/ warnings. WIP story. Idr word count and chapter count. 3 chapters? ??

Lucienne and Death makes appearances. Some original characters. Idr order of scenes and chapters. 

Dream arrives to the old tavern but it’s in ruins. Abandoned. He explores and finds a box. It’s a bit stuck but he finds a note. A letter. With holes and missing words. Some other things might’ve been in the box but prolly stolen? A stick inside the box to hold in place. The letter is really old and fragile. It does contain some instructions on where and how to find him. (later revealed to be really outdated) 

He walks to the The New Inn. idr if he steps inside or not. But maybe he did. Maybe he didn't but later. He orders a drink. Wine? Poor employee girl didn't know what to do with gold coins and gets sand blown into her face too many times. Too many times and so much dreamsand that she has to take a break or something and ask another employee to take over. Morpheus rereads the letter over and over.  Accidentally tears it in anger, but catches himself. Makes a mental note ot have it laminated. Dream tries to talk to the owner of the inn. There’s a picture and a plaque. Something about fake name and reall name. Drunk Hob revealed his real name and it became an “inside joke.” But nothing much else. Dream is sad. 

He walks around the neighborhood. And a school campus. He gets recognized by someone. She recognized him from somewhere. Asked if he knew Robert/Hob Gadling/ fake name. Prof Gadling talked about his stranger a lot. She was a student/ student teacher under his mentorship. Or something. She kept close contact with him for while. Even when he left the university and went traveling. Even when she got her degrees and became a professor. But some point stopped. 

Idr her name. 

She invited Dream to coffee to talk. She shared / showed things on her phone. Didn't work out. 

Sad moment where Dream finds out that she and Robert had sent each other so many emails while he only has one letter. He admits that he is someone who is hard to contact. 

She mentioned visiting his old house. There was a large framed painting of him. Thats how she recognized dream. He never sat for a picture. “You’re telling me he got it commissioned?” 

Dream tried visiting the old house. Hob had moved out. New family moved in. let him borrowed a phone. Landline? Im pretty sure theres some humor of him not knowing how to operate the phone. 

Meanwhile, Death visits  a museum of ancient Egyptian stuff. Hob is there looking at a statue of Anubis. He asked if they always looked like that. Death responds, sometimes. Startles him. He didn't see or hear her arrive. They meet and talk. She explains (and apologizes) that she is responsible for his immortality. And her brother is his stranger. He laughed. I think. He asked questions. No answers. Sad sad. 

He was about to ask another question but gets distracted by a school trip group of students. Death slips away. Hob gets frustrated. 

Hob gone traveling alot .

Some point Dream tries contacting Death. Asked if hob's well / alive. Yes. 

Btw, death arrived wearing a different outfit and holding a snake. But she later changes to typical tank top and jeans. Brings the snake back wherever it was previously. 

She takes Dream to a cliff?? Unless this from a diff fanfic. Idk. but they talked at the cliff over the ocean. Idr the conversations. 

Dream visits hob’s dreams. 

We see Hob entering his old house with arms full of wine and food. Dream is disguised as a raven. It’s raining. Robert sees the raven and tells “it” to leave to somewhere safe and dry. Get out of rain and get dry.  Hob  knocks on his front door after struggling to get his keys. Opens. Enter. We see lots of shoes and coats. Dream the Raven sneaks into the house.

We meet the (former) boyfriend who is an “older” man. They laugh, joke, kiss, and talked. Ex BF asked when will Hob ask the question. What question? Marriage. Ex explained: grandfather and father got dementia at age 50. And he’s turning 50 in a few years. They fight. Sad. 

Scene shifts. The painting is visible now. Obvious on the wall. Raven disguise disappear. Dream walked up the stairs to a door slightly ajar. He spies inside and sees a copy of himself. Sorta. Whatever Hob imagines his stranger would’ve looked like if nude. Description of Hob’s version of Dream is different from the real Dream in body shape. 

Hob is (smut scene) bottom to Dream’s top. 

Lovely description of what Morpheus would’ve done in 1000 yrs ago, 100 yrs ago, 10 yrs ago, now. (Not those exact numbers or era. Idr. ) In a few sentences. Maybe it was 3. Morpheus stays and observes. Pervert. 

Hob asked Morpheus if he will stay after he wakes up. He responds, yes. (cries) 

Real Morpheus quietly leaves. The voices in the bedroom are still very loud. 

Out of the water, Lucienne arrives with an umbrella. It’s raining hard. 

They visit the library and look thru Hob’s books. Lucienne silently screams at every accidental dog-ear and mishandle of pages. I would too. Hob has entries: wha’ts teh point of dreaming anymore. And stuff. Sad stuff. Angry stuff. 

Morpheus in frustration. Throws book at wall. Book breaks and falls apart. Lucienne is hurt. Me too. He says something to her, angry. She tells him “then you must leave my library” and snaps her fingers. Forces him out and slams the doors. She picks up the book and carefully rearranges the pages and binding. Sets aside in a book press. “You’re a good book.” Awww

And that was the ending. No more updates at that date and time. 

Story obviously WIP. 

[gloomyolk]

sigh. currently putting my ao3 account in the microwave to defrost. i have an idea for kind of an angsty character study mafuena fic where they reconnect years after niigo disbands. mafuyu asks ena to help her do a lot of the things she never got to as a teenager now that shes moved out from home, and she asks ena because theres no way she could actually catch feelings for her, so they can do things with no stakes or strings attached. shenanigans and feelings and angst ensue. and a bit of gender exploration for them both, because they deserve it.

[kitnita]

oooh just saw your tags on the stucky post - do u have any good stucky fics to rec?? im talking like looong fics. shit that like changes ur life. i was never into stucky when the fandom was super active but now im like !!! theres a goldmine of good fics out there i just know it

yeah absolutely!!!! but okay so. a lot of the stucky fic i read, i read back in high school before i started obsessively bookmarking things on ao3. i'm almost positive there are some blind spots on this list because i'm just going off the things i do have bookmarked rn. like i also want to dive back into the tag at some point & see what stuff i've missed / forgotten.

THAT SAID pretty much all the big stucky fics i do remember were in my bookmarks so i'm working off those! also thank you so much for sending this because i queued that post & didn't actually end up going back to read any stucky fics. i want to reread everything now.

actual recs under the cut!!

sincerely, your pal by lettered (rated m, 65,620)

i will always be obsessed with an epistolary fic. 10/10

to memory now I can't recall by etharei (rated e, 102,600)

uses time travel in a really interesting way, with it almost acting as a bodyswap scenario between the past and present. really interesting device in a fic with bucky pov.

building from the ground up by emilianadarling (series, various ratings & various lengths w a total wordcount of 68,687)

soooo good. i remember the (chronologically) first & the (writing order) first in the series better than the other two, but they're all good!! spans time from during the war to after the events of the winter soldier.

you know i dreamed about you by napricot (rated e, 59,311)

dreamsharing!! underutilized fanfic trope!!!

between everything, yourself, and home by napricot (rated e, 24,396)

i reread this one more recently than a lot of the others on the list & it hit so good, definitely recommend it.

United States v. Barnes, 617 F. Supp. 2d 143 (D.D.C. 2015) by fallingvoices & radialarch (rated t, 20,605)

the formatting & framing & storytelling devices in this one go hard, like, i'm pretty sure it was one of the fics mentioned on that post. it'd be worth checking out for that alone except that the fic is just Also good.

the way to a man's heart by niitza & whatthefoucault (rated t, 43,837)

this is one of the stucky fics i think about all the time. food as a healing device hits every time and it's SO good in this one.

the size of perfection by phoenike (e, 31,193)

if you want a lot of 1940's angsting about what the supersoldier serum does to a guy's dick, this is the fic for you.

all the angels and the saints by speranza (rated e, 48,740)

in the authors note of this one it's described as "a motherfucking 95 year epic love story of socialism! science fiction! and hard core gay fucking!" so. worth a read for sure.

roll on by jaxington (rated m, 89,113)

the historical queer themes in this were so good!! the supporting characters & world built up Hit. also i forgot/never knew it was part of a three fic series that is 306,592 words long. definitely read those too.

steve rogers at 100: celebrating captain america on film by eleveninches, hellotailor, M_Leigh, neenya, saintsideways, & tigrrmilk (rated e, 10,228)

exactly what it sounds like. from what i remember this probably barely counts as a stucky fic but it's so fun.

tin soldiers by idrilka (rated t, 19,743)

another one where the formatting & framing & storytelling devices go hard!!

a line that goes all the way by napricot (rated e, 45,218)

realizing now this is the third napricot fic on the list so probably anything else you find by them will also hit!! this one's more recent than a lot of the other fics here but i remember really enjoying it.

tezeta (nostalgia) by vowelinthug (rated e, 20,140)

another more recent fic set in wakanda!! it's steve's turn to be a total maladjusted disaster <3

sparked up like a book of matches by sena (rated m, 26,734)

didn't remember a lot of this one from my bookmarks so i started reading it to jog the memory & now am going to continue reading it. the vibes are vibing.

always stay near me, for tomorrow i will have much to do by roguewrld (rated e, 39,990)

this one's framing isn't as wild as some of the others i've rec'ed but it's still a little noticeable. a great non-linear bucky centric fic.

there's nothing left of you by notallbees (rated e, 22,346)

a fic set during the war!! those are always fun!!! and by fun, i mean. you know. it's good though, very in bucky's head.

i can feel the cold changing us inside by tesselated (rated m, 24,140)

a really good post-winter soldier recovery fic.

might never be normal again (but who cares) by napricot (rated e, 51,540)

okay one last napricot rec from my bookmarks. tagged 'Steve's Slow Motion Midlife Crisis' so you know it's good.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

...6,357. i promise i write.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

just stranger things so far, but i have seriously thought about writing about Fender's gender from Robots (2005) and I promised my friend a Shark Tale fic for their birthday fjalhfdjkalfdj

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Never Again

Never Again (sfw)

fascinating statistics arent they

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

never gotten comments on ao3, i do reply to what i get on tumblr tho because it literally makes my day

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

(including my unposted work) Never Again, tho i think its more bittersweet than unrelenting angst

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

tho its technically not finished, We'll Be Alright (Steve Henderson AU) has a very happy ending

8. Do you get hate on fics?

no, thank god

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

im gonna say no? despite writing something spicy at the beginning of Never Again it was not a good time (for me or Nancy)

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

haven't yet, and while i wont write them off entirely itd have to have really strong potential for me to want to do it

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

nope

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

no

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

no, and i dont know how well id go. on the one hand im usually good at group stuff but im also an annoying perfectionist with my writing

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

platonically stobin 100%. i dont get nearly as attatched to the romantic ones so i kinda just bounce around the fandom. Really love a lot of the steve harrington rairpairs floating around, plus robin and vickie

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

I dont realllly have a writing wip i know i wont finish cause i've just been posting those vague ideas instead of actually writing them becuase i know i wont. My only active wip is the steve henderson au and im hoping praying to god that i dont suddenly loose passion for it

16. What are your writing strengths?

dialogue probably, coming up with how different characters are saying things, what theyre saying, what they mean, all the little differences in their voices, I love it. that and having characters interact with the environment

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

overthinking and underthinking, stopping myself from making something happen or a character do something because theres this pull in my chest telling me its wrong. even just standard selfishness or saying something without the express intent of making sure it wont hurt someones feelings. i also start sentences with verbs djaldjdjaf

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

makes sense if characters are speaking multiple languages i guess. depends on pov and how limited it is to the pov character. like if the pov character doesnt speak spanish it'd be better to write "and they said something in spanish they didnt understand" instead of writing the spanish out assuming the audience doesnt know it either

19. First fandom you wrote for?

stranger things

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

definitely my steve henderson au. i wish it was shared already but at the same time i've editied and changed so much im glad i havnt officially yet. its helped me work through a lot and has even caused noticable improvement in my relationship with my family even if they dont know it exists. i cant promise itll be fully posted soon, but i am so exited for when i do
