Thanks for the rec! I love your synopsis, you did a wonderful job summarizing ✨
Y’all should check out any of these other fics (and authors!) too if the summary suits you!
David’s Fic-Rec Friday:  2020/04/10
Hey guys.  Sorry about missing last week, and being so late this week.  Definitely going to try more at getting this done early and efficiently.
But I still managed to get six new entries for you all for this week.  So then, let’s get cracking.
Learned it from the pizza man by TalesoftheEnchantedForest (Tumblr Account Unknown)
Our first entry is a Human AU featuring Prinxiety.  Virgil is trying his best to get through his shift delivering pizzas.  But on the last delivery of the night, he ends up getting kissed without warning by the handsome man who placed the order.  Even if he feels like dying of embarrassment, he figures he can just move on with his life so long as he never sees him again.  Unfortunately, he ends up having to go back less than a week later.  But the man, Roman, explains that his brother dared him to do it, and apologizes profusely for violating the sanctity of consent.  Virgil accepts the apology, and when he points out that he actually rather enjoyed the kiss, other than it being completely unexpected, Roman offers him his phone number, and Virgil vows to always be the one delivering to Roman’s apartment.
This does feature nonconsensual kissing and both Remus and Deceit in roles that aren’t quite unsympathetic but would certainly qualify as chaotic or morally neutral.  But if you can get past those, it’s a wonderful story with a sweet conclusion.
Admiration and Calculation by Volumes_Too_Logan (aka @volumes2lo-gan)
Our second entry is a nice Logicality oneshot.  Logan has taken note of how Patton becomes flustered whenever he is complimented by the other sides.  And he’s a little startled to discover his own emotional reaction to seeing the father figure figment’s response.  As part of an experiment, he asks Patton to put together a puzzle with him one day, and the carefully worded responses he gives not only turn Patton into a frazzled blushing mess, but manage to fill his whole body with a warmth that, while strange and unusual to the logical side, is absolutely not unwelcome.  With only some minor angsty mentions, this is a wonderful story of a nerd falling in love with a dad, and using science to prove how adorable said father can be.
Smiling Up At Me by MagpieMorality (aka @magpiemorality)
Another Logicality story, this one set in a High School AU.  Patton and Logan have already been through the whole “I like you, you like me” conversation.  But Patton’s still unsure if that means they’re actually a couple.  That is, until he discovers that Logan has set a picture of Patton as his phone’s lockscreen.  Logan is embarrassed for Patton to see this, but Patton responds by showing him that he’s already made Logan his own lockscreen.  And maybe that’s really all the confirmation the two young men need.  A very sweet story with just the slightest hint of angst, so no worries there.
Breakfast by fandomsandanythingelse (aka @fandomsandanythingelse)
Breaking out of this week’s unintended pattern, here’s a Human AU featuring the Sunshine Gays.  Roman is always so grateful for his husband Patton.  And one morning he hopes to show his love with a surprise of french toast in bed.  Unfortunately for him, Patton wakes up and comes looking for him, only to spoil the surprise.  But not even that can spoil a wonderfully perfect breakfast with the man you love.  Nothing to worry about here, just pure unadulterated fluff.
Be There For You by MagpieMorality (again)
The darkest entry in this week’s list, this High School AU sees Roman attempting to ask his crush to the homecoming dance with a fresh bouquet of roses, only to be rejected in front of the entire school.  While the rest of his fellow students simply whisper at his distress, his best friends Patton, Logan, and Virgil all do what they can to hold him together as he deals with a broken heart.  And in the end, the three friends are a much better recipient of such a loving gift.
This story does feature rejection, unrequited love, and public humiliation.  But its message of the true love of friendship more than makes up for its darker tones.
Light to my Dark by bisexualpicklewierdo (aka @bisexualpicklewierdo)
Finally, to close out the list this week. we’ve got a very sweet Prinxiety story that hits rather close to home for me.  In this human AU, Virgil has finally worked up the courage to tell his crush Roman how he feels, and with some encouragement from Patton, he decides to do so through Patton’s coffee shop’s Open Mic Night.  But his hopes seem dashed when Roman starts spending a lot of time with Valerie to prepare his own entry for the event.  Anxious thoughts plague Virgil as he begins to fear that Roman might not only not return his feelings but might have also already be in a relationship.  But then, Logan will always remind us how dangerous it can be when you jump to conclusions without all the facts.
Other than some anxious thoughts and a mention of unrequited love, this story is truly heartfelt and wonderful and most definitely deserving of your time.
*****
And this week, for our first reader suggested Featured Fic Writer, we have:
maxiswriting (aka @max-is-tired)
A long time supporter of the Fic-Rec Friday Project, Max is also an accomplished writer in their own right, with over forty Sanders Sides fics under their belt as of this posting.  They are definitely worth a look.
*****
Well, that does it for this week.  Be sure to give these stories and their authors some love and attention with some kudos, some comments, and even a bookmark or two.  And remember, I’m still taking suggestions for Featured Fic Writers and for new stories to feature, so long as they fit the necessary requirements.
In any case, I hope you enjoy this week’s selections.  If you’d like to see previous weeks’ recommendations, or learn more about the Fic-Rec Friday Project, you can find all that on my Fic-Rec Friday Masterpost.  And if you’d like to be added to the Fic-Rec Friday Tag List, or are already on the list and would like to be removed, just let me know and I’ll take care of it for you.
See you all next week, and happy reading!

Aww I’m so glad that you like it! I’m excited that this fic was part of your introduction to Sides fics and that you liked the angsty fluff 😄
All Bottled Up
Fandom: Sanders Sides Pairings: Logicality, Moxiety Warnings: Eating disorder
Summary: When Thomas bottles up emotions, Patton feels full.  Usually it fades after a bit and Patton gets back on a regular schedule, but this time it goes too far.  (Based on this prompt from @princey-must-slay)
[Part 1/5] Tagged: @existental-crises @jordisama @novagalaxy4real @here-to-vent​ @irish-newzealand-idian-dutch 
part 2 - part 3 - part 4 - part 5
The Sides were all sitting in the common room of the mindscape thinking up some possible ideas for the next video.  Patton really wanted to do something like the Draw My Life that Roman had suggested in “Am I Original”, but Roman claimed it was “too soon after that fateful event” for them to follow through with the idea.  Logan wanted to do a tag video- possibly including his friends, Virgil added- since those videos followed a very specific and clear structure, but Roman complained that they’d already done a few of those already.
“Roman, we’ve been over this, the ideas do not have to be entirely original.”  Logan stated.  Princey’s shoulders slumped as he gestured towards the others.
“But is it really too lofty a dream to have?  Imagine having a concept that’s entirely our own!”  Virgil gave him a disinterested side eye before turning back to Patton.
“I think your idea would work, but Thomas isn’t the best artist,” he said honestly.
Patton shrugged.  “I dunno, I just think it could be fun!”

A “Joan can hear Thomas talking to the sides, that’s canon” fic, inspired by this post. I apologize. Warning: Joan swears.
***
Joan loved their friend Thomas dearly, which was why they were willing to overlook his eccentricities. If anything, though, the amount of times they hung out with Thomas just made him look even stranger.
Most of it came from the fact that Thomas had this unusual tendency to mutter to himself constantly, in short bursts, like he was holding a conversation. When he got really stressed, he’d stand in the living room, and if Joan happened to be over, they would hear him carry on by himself for twenty minutes. But even when that wasn’t going on, there were frequent things happening in the Sanders household.
One time, Joan brought a box of cookies over and left it on the counter. When they came back, half the box was gone.
“Did you eat some of those already?” Joan called to Thomas, who was on the couch.
“No,” he answered.
“Wait, then who did?”
“Dad,” Thomas responded unthinkingly, then just sort of stared at Joan, blinking.
“Dad? When the hell was your dad here?”
They never got an answer, so Thomas’ response ended up raising more questions than it solved.
Another time, Thomas was doing something else a little strange while he and Joan worked on a script in the apartment. He kept turning on a Disney movie on his laptop in the other room, so it was nothing but muddled background noise to the two of them that Thomas would mumble-sing along to. Then, the minute the movie ended, he’d go and exchange it for the next.
“Why’re you playing so many if you’re not even watching them?” asked Joan.
“For a friend,” said Thomas, and, well, that was that.
Later that week, the two of them were putting the finishing touches on the script. It was three in the morning and both of them were shriveled up with exhaustion, but they were fiercely trying to meet the deadline of next Friday. The stress got so bad that Thomas almost panicked, and Joan had to stop and convince him that it would be okay if the video was late.
“I’m so tired…ugh, maybe you’re right, Joan.” Thomas lay on the floor, hardly bothering to prop himself up with an elbow. “I’m just getting so nervous about actually having something out on time.”
“You know nobody will mind.”
“I wish I didn’t get so stressed over these things.”
“I feel you,” said Joan. “Anxiety’s a bitch.”
“eXCUSE ME?!” Thomas whipped his head up to glare at Joan. “He is NOT! He’s working on it!”
Joan and Thomas stared at each other.
“….Dude, what?”
“…nflghl I’m going to sleep.”
But the occurrence that really took the cake happened months later. Joan was at Thomas’ house again, and it was late, again, because that was just how their friendship went sometimes. Joan thought Thomas was upstairs getting ready to sleep, and they snuck into the kitchen to get a devils’-hour snack.
The kitchen was dark, but Joan was blinded when someone else opened the refrigerator door. Joan squinted and saw Thomas’ outline rustling around in the fridge.
“Any pizza left?” Joan asked. Then Thomas turned around.
“….”
“….”
“When did you put on a tie?”
“I….”
“Is that—“ Joan squinted. “Is that jam? Are you literally eating jam from a jar right now?”
Thomas hastily slammed the jar back into the fridge and pushed up his glasses that he was wearing for some reason. “Well, you see….Joan,” he said loudly, “I required sustenance.”
“…What?”
“Yes! I craved that sweet sweet organic fruit spread. So I had some. It was very, Lit. Well, I must be going.”
“Thomas, where are you—“
“Goodbye, fam. I mean—J-slice. I mean—oh, confound it all.” Thomas stalked past him and seemed to vanish up the stairs before Joan knew what to do.
Later, Joan would chalk it up to a late-night hallucination. They brought it up to Thomas, and he didn’t seem to remember the incident. But when Joan distinctly later heard Thomas mutter to himself, “Wow, Logan, that’s how you impersonate me?” they decided that there were some mysteries better left unsolved.

TS & Friends Heads Up
Just a heads up on Thomas’ new Halloween video, Quil wears a scary clown costume throughout the video. I don’t know if anyone would feel up to key-framing something over her face, but for now all I can do is warn y’all :/

Happy National Coming Out Day!
To all lgbtqia+ folks out there, whether you plan on coming out today or not, whether you can or cannot for whatever reasons, whether it’s to your whole family, one close friend, or simply yourself, you are valid and you are loved. You know who you are better than anyone else and do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Be proud of who you are. Whether you’re able to celebrate aloud today or in the quiet comfort of your own room, be proud of who you are and how far you’ve come. Never forget that you are able to learn and change and create. You are wonderful. You are important. And regardless of if you’re out to others, you are valid. I hope you have a wonderful day, month, year, and beyond 💜

Hello! It’s been awhile; you doing okay? Reminder: I luv you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey! Yeah I’m doing pretty okay, I graduated college a few months ago and have been working things out since. I keep wanting to write new things, but have been lacking the inspiration for a while. I hope to get back into it at some point, but it’ll probably be slower than it was at the start. Love you too and I really appreciate the checkin, it means a lot!! 😊💕

Fanfic really messed up my concept of how much I've actually written
I love fanfic, and I love its structure and what it usually focuses on, and I don't have a lot bad to say about it, honestly.
But.
Just today I had a Google Doc open and saw that I was at about ~5k words. And I thought, "That's almost nothing. I should be farther along."
I checked the page count (12 pt font Libre Baskerville), and it was at 12. If I printed it out, it would be 12 pages of material. That's a decent goddamn amount of work, to be entirely honest. Not too crazy, but I checked a long fic I'd written that's at ~75k words. That technically counts as novel length. Novel length.
I love fanfic, but its really skewed my idea of how much I've actually written, and anyone else who came from a fanfic background, don't forget that 7k one-shots are actually a helluva lot or writing, longer than a lot of undergrad papers are supposed to be.
Don't beat yourself up over wordcount!

!!!! Oh my gosh that is precious!!! I’m so happy my fic inspired such a cute piece of fan art 😄💕
Can you do a fic where the sides want to make Virgil laugh so they try different things but only tickling him works?
Laughter is the Best Medicine
Fandom: Sanders SidesPairings: (not sure how to tag it, so) LAMP, Moxiety, Analogical, PrinxietyWarnings: None
Summary: The Sides compete to hear Virgil laugh.A/N: Pun sourceEdit: Alternate Ending
Tagged: @existental-crises​​ @here-to-vent​ @jordisama​
Patton had made the realization a week ago: none of them had ever heard Virgil laugh.  Snickers aside, he’d never actually laughed in front of any one of them. Patton had presented his finding to Virgil, looking for some kind of solace, but instead he’d just gotten a noncommittal shrug.
“Yeah? So?”  He said as he lounged on the stairs, pulling at the loose threads of his sleeves.
“Sooo we’ve gotta hear you laugh!  I bet it’s a wonderful laugh and I’d love to hear it sometime.”  Patton looked into Virgil’s eyes hopefully, shoulders tensing in anticipation as Virgil leaned closer.  He opened his mouth and after a short pause, spoke softly into Patton’s ear.
“Say something funny and maybe I will.”
Patton’s shoulders slumped in defeat. “Well I’m loads funny!”
“Sorry, Pat,” Virgil said, leaning back on his elbows, sounding entirely unapologetic. “It’s gotta be funny in the moment or it isn’t happening.  Or–” he gasped, “what if I can’t laugh?”  He said mockingly, covering his mouth with false disbelief.
“Oh, stop it, you goof,” Patton said, swatting lightly at Virgil’s knee.  “We’ll hear that laugh sooner or later, just you wait.”  Virgil shrugged again and Patton turned on his heel, stomping away to start planning schemes to make Virgil laugh.

Draft Fic 1: Roman’s Insecurities
Here’s the fic I found from a year ago with the idea of Remus in it.  Let me know if you’d want a full version of it and I might be able to get that out sometime.  Hope you enjoy this draft/kinda skeleton fic.
——
The heavy clicks of Roman’s boots on tile echoed down the corridor as his pacing continued.  He’d been walking circles around his throne room for a half hour now and even he was growing impatient of his stalling.  He just wasn’t sure if he could face this.  Not today.  Not when he had so much more to do and plan.  Roman’s hand rested upon the sword at his hip as he stilled in front of the large wooden doors before him.  
“You can do this,” he breathed, “do it for him.”
With a single thought, the doors creaked open and revealed a cavernous hall decorated in regal tapestries and polished marble.  At the very front of the room sat a single throne encrusted with rubies and plated in gold.  All seemed as it should, but Roman knew better.  He drew his sword and took a steady step into the room.
“I know you’re there!”  He called, his voice reverberating off the walls.  “Show yourself!”  A soft tutting sound echoed around him as he took another step further.
“And why would I do that?”  A voice said from somewhere and nowhere.
Dark prince Roman– Roman has to fight his fears, his insecurities, he’s been letting them roam free for too long and has just been too tired to cage them again.  He’s been fighting him every night, but it’s never enough.  This time he has to win.  He has to fight his insecurities and find his self worth before gaining the courage to confess to Patton because he fears he’ll be toxic otherwise or something.
You can never defeat me.  – I don’t have to.  Keeping you where I can see you is as close to victory as I’ll ever come.  You’re a part of me- a figment of my worst thoughts, the devastation I could wreck.  But I know better than to allow you to rule this kingdom.  There is no place for you here except your quarters.  So there you will stay.
You’re arrogant.  That which you call ‘chivalry’ is born from selfishness.

I’m going through my old fic folder and I found one about “Dark Prince Roman” from last year that hits a lot of things we got with Remus, which is neat. I couldn’t have ever predicted how uncouth his impulses would be, but I think I’ll post this unfinished WIP for fun [image description: a word document titled “Roman fights himself and... wins? Ish” and the top corner of a fic draft with Roman and his Dark Side, last updated July 22, 2018]

Update 3/27
I haven’t been on here much, but I think I’m going to do some spring cleaning.  Over the next couple of months, I’m going to try uploading some unfinished WIPs I have.  They’re probably going to just be left as is unless inspiration truly strikes, but I’d answer asks for elaboration on any of the stories if any of you would be interested.
