A dating service where matching is based on people’s search history exists. You’re a serial killer. You go on a date with a writer.

On 6x12 & Protective Maura is so hot. Like even when they’re not trying to be gay she’s like hi yes Jane needs a body guard and as her sugar mommy I already found 100 options. He has been hired and he is a beefcake.

Also not the profound queer coding of this fucking Big Bad quoting the Bible to say they’ll take everything from Jane and then going after NOT her mother, but Maura.

Her literal fucking wife. Throwing them off the trail of thinking they’d go after her mom but instead going after her “bestie” is just… deeply queer.

Also Jesus Christ Angie’s acting as Jane throughout the kidnapping plot is so delicious. I’m almost concerned by how hot I think Angie’s angry face/ tone is. But damn just top tier acting from her- the balance of anguish and rage, the jittery impatience, the guilt- she just fucking left no crumbs.

And Maura’s so smart 🥹 bby just hold on, wifey’s comin’. She fuckin’ knows your scent and can CANONICALLY identify it after a full day’s work within a musty, dusty room you’ve been in for less than 12 hours…

But deadass, Your Honor, there is no straight explanation.

(That’s a yes.)

Soooooo how would you feel about being a sounding board for this Miss Congeniality AU bc I’ve plotted almost the entire thing 😂😅

Are you asking me to be your Michael Caine? ON THIS, THE DAY WHERE ALL YOU NEED IS A LIGHT JACKET?

[doomsday-dj]

that’s how that scene went, right

One of my favorite things about xena is that when Lucy lawless got pregnant, by that point in the series it was so improbable for xena to have sex with a man that the writers were like “fuck it, immaculate conception by your former nemesis whose soul you saved”

how do people come up with titles?

why can't we just number fics like classical composers did with their stuff?

"tentacle porn No. 8 in [fandom], [pairing], op. 57"

that would solve so many problems

Yo. Bestie. Do you have any Rizzles author recommendations for me??

You have cruelly seduced me into this teeny-tiny-weeny fandom and now I have galloped my way through (almost) all of your brilliant body of work I am cast adrift and quickly finding out that "sort by kudos" simply does not bring up the goods here...

Help a gay out?

Oh fuck yeah, bestie. Yes. Do I ever!! I am about to WEAR OUT the link function. But before the recommendations: aw shucks and thank you and all that. Your comments this week have been a highlight. I'm sorry to have dragged you into this but hopefully this post makes up for it! I've been dabbling in some other fandoms lately, ones with a LOT of fics, and there's a lot of great writers out there, but I have to say that especially relative to how many fics there are, there's an outrageous amount of good writers who have written Rizzles.

Okay! So disclaimer that I’ve had a really ungodly amount of coffee today so if this is a little on the “un” side of hinged then I apologize. I am definitely gonna be REAL effusive. I was silly and shy about leaving comments and kudos when I first got on AO3 and now I make up for those crimes by being unabashedly keen.

I have gone and sorted by kudos (and, sidenote, discovered that I'm in the top 30????) and before I get to the under-appreciated bangers, I will say that plenty of my faves feature in the first two pages of sort by kudos (though their most kudosed work is almost never my fave one). Here I’m thinking of coolbyrne, @julieverne, DanteBeatrice77. All of these authors are awesome.

Also, amongst the highly kudosed works, Attachment by @performativezippers is a classic for in the fandom for good reason (and their Bachelor AU is a romp) and law of the lever by sharkfights is one of my favourites all time.

As for the other stuff, what do you WANT out of your fic, bestie?

You want the feelings? You want the beautifully written feelings? @ladyriot has got feelings FOR DAYS. If you want some one shots that will take you apart and put you back together, you’ve come to the right place. Good feelings, angsty feelings, all the feelings you need. My favourite is Let Our Hands Tell the Story but I recommend all of them. Mostly it's one shots but the one complete multi-chapter fic, Transference, is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. Less than 200 kudos?! Fuck all the way off. I don’t know if it’s because it’s an AU or if it’s because of the doctor/patient element but unless that’s a trigger, I promise you it it’s handled very artfully and also it’s fucking fiction and no patient’s rights were violated in the making of this fic. Oh and put your ink on my skin 'til it comes off on me is both devastating and stupid hot.

Haven’t had enough feelings?? Take your insufficiently battered heart over to @sideadde’s work. I especially like Who Needs Two Kidneys When Another Heart Can Be Had? and Immersion Therapy.

You want a big meaty casefic you can sink your teeth into?? Domini_porter’s CMYK is so goddamn good. The smutty chapters in this one are just...chef's kiss. Among my favourites all time. I am also entirely obsessed with their Victorian AU, which deserves more attention. Also if you want some crack-your-chest-open-and-pull-out-your-guts angst go alllll the way back to their first fics on AO3.

OH. @kurtsvonneslut too. I think and you cooled my mind that burned with longing is probably my favourite post-finale type fic, bit of an AU with some major canon changes. They also have an excellent picking-up-from-the-Jane-and-Maura-season-2/3-break-up casefic, A Crime of Passion, and they wrote a devastating exploration of PTSD that just...oooof.

God, I could really just keep going and going. And this is just on AO3!!! I feel like I could do a whole part two of this that's just flagging all the best stuff that's back on ff.net. I might have to because this is already really long. But I'm stopping for now. Thanks for the BEST ASK.

*dramatic stage whisper* psssst do you want smut? I feel like I could also do a whole post on smut alone. Maybe later.

Note: I’ve tagged authors if their tumblr name is the same as their ao3 name, because I assume they’re okay with being found. If any of you would like to be untagged from the post just DM me and I’ll do that lickety split.

That thing where you wrote a snippet that didn't work in one thing and then month's later there's a perfect home for it. That.

its so so important to follow blogs that will put a bit of softcore porn on ur dash. it is not only tasteful but also a key part of the microbiome

Women in crop tops and no bras. You agree. Stretching their bodies like 🙆‍♀️ and the shirt rides up and you get to see all that sweet soft tummy and just a little bit of the bottom swell of the boobs?

Like I see my wife’s entire boobs on a very regular basis and it’s always nice but then she’s stretching and I’m getting a little accidental underboob show and I’m going full cartoon wolf every single time. I see the hem of that shirt rising and AWOOOOOOGA, HUMINA HUMINA, etc.

Filler??? In MY story?!

You'd better believe it. :)

Filling can have its own way of progressing the story -if not the plot, then the understanding of the characters when they're not buried in a plot-alanche.

Moments of rest are necessary for both the characters and the reader.

Moments of softness are necessary for both the characters and the reader.

Moments of 'slice of life' are necessary for both the characters and the reader.

It comes down to one simple to say, yet complicated piece of advice that I keep as a golden rule:

Bring it inward to make it bigger.

[doomsday-dj]

Do other writers ever get this like, hyper-specific dialogue exchange drop into their brains and you know exactly where these character are standing and what they’re doing and how they’re saying these words but that’s all you get. You don’t have much other context and this specific moment that exists only at this time in your headspace??
