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.

20 questions

got tagged by @fazedlight and i don’t want to deal with my work emails anymore rn so yeah let’s do this

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

only 5 on ao3 rn

2. What’s your total AO3 words count?

23,872 (tbh i’m surprised it’s even that high)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

now only live and breathe supercorp but i’ve got a couple avalance too

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

well there’s only 5 so all of them but my s3 alt reveal is the top

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

i try to but i’m only really good at it usually right after i post. the ones that come in randomly later are harder for me for some reason

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i guess the reveal fic is technically the angstiest because it’s open ended but i don’t much care for angst so i’d never end one with it

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

oof idk maybe cat naps but that’s mostly because i wanted to write about my cats without writing about my cats

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not to my memory

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

i never have and it’s not necessarily ruled out but it’s not a hurdle i’ve attempted just yet

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

i never have but the craziest idea for one i’ve ever had is my zara young/mason weaver au

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

don’t think so. that honor seems to be reserved for my gifs

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

not to my knowledge

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

definitely not i’d feel bad if i couldn’t find motivation

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

supercorp is making a strong case since it’s mostly what i engage with but bones/booth is the otp

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

i desperately want to finish my wips but there are certainly ideas that may never come to fruition

16. What are your writing strengths?

outlining what i want it to be

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

actually writing it out

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

it makes me nervous to get it wrong so i’m a big proponent of leaving it in english but indicating that it’s not being said as such

19. First fandom you wrote for?

bones back in my ff.net days

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

idk that it counts since it’s still just a draft and only really exists as a stream of consciousness on here but i really love my modern medieval times au

That's how she wins at embezzling too. Just wear something like that and everyone will forget about the 200k.

saskia’s entire criminal plan: if I’m hot enough, no one will remember I was supposed to do something with that money

#look there were a fair number of questionable plots in that show but the biggest plot hole #by far was that NO ONE NOTICED THAT SASKIA STOLE 200k IN ONE GO #ARE ALL THE ACCOUNTANTS IN AUSTRALIA THAT BAD??? #like look I’m not an expert but stealing that much money in one shot (and not like over time) is a guaranteed WE GOT YOU crime #and yet...she’s so fucking gorgeous so maybe everyone just kept getting distracted by her? doesn’t explain how the only hot guy caught her. #sideadde #pointing out the important things this morning #ask robie

you r really making me want to dive into supercorp fanfic...

Do you want another noncanon pair of subtextual idiots living in your head rent free?

If you like that kind of pain (like i do), I welcome you.

SuperCorp Fic: i just wanted you to know (this is me trying)

Title: i just wanted you to know (this is me trying)

Author: MJ Duncan

Fandom: Supergirl (TV)

Pairing: Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor

Rating: M

Summary: Lena promised Kara that she would ask for help when she needed it.

——————————————————

I need you.

It wasn’t something Lena said easily. Needing support was something she rarely admitted, having spent too much of her life being told that if she was just smarter, stronger, more determined, she wouldn’t be such a disappointment. But after the day she’d had, she did need it, her thumbs had somehow typed out the words without any higher thought, and she reached for the glass of whiskey she’d been nursing while she wallowed in self-doubt as the message was marked “delivered”. 

She tossed back what remained of the whiskey in her glass in a single gulp and set it back onto the railing of her balcony as her eyes swept over the lights of National City that were spread below her. Would the lives happening behind those windows be better because of what she’d done? Or had she inadvertently damned them all?

She had never wanted to helm a billion-dollar company. Had never wanted to do more than spend her days in a lab, creating tech that would save the world. But fate was a heartless, merciless bitch, and so instead of losing herself in the thrill of discovery, she was trapped in the highest room of the gleaming tower that bore her brand, where it fell to her to decide if the bottom line was worth the risk of sending a technological advancement that was literally years ahead of anything available at the moment out into the world.

Because technology wasn’t good or bad but intentions were, and with the sins of her family weighing so heavily on her too-small shoulders, she was petrified of adding any more red ink to that particular ledger. 

In the end, she had decided the risk of misuse was outweighed by the potential reward, but now, hours after the deal had been inked and the specs transferred, she feared she’d made a mistake. That, despite her best intentions, the slithering ghost of Lillian’s influence that she was never truly free of, no matter how far she ran or how goddamn hard she fought, had somehow guided her into making the wrong decision.

She swallowed hard as her phone buzzed in her hand with an alert, and when she saw the three little words that had appeared beneath her plea, relief washed over her.

Be right there.

Emma Frost/?? soulmates!au enemies to lovers “sometimes, i sit in bed and wonder what would happen if things were different.”

Pretty sure the emmakate smut I’m writing RN would work with this but that broke 10k so lmao HOWEVER (AU Prompt MEME game)

Sometimes, I sit in bed and wonder what would happen if things were different. If I'd been a different person. A better person. If I hadn't played up to the expectations of being a complete and total bitch. Or at least, if I hadn't reveled in it.

But then, who would I be? Would I have been her, that Phoenix symbol that scorches the back of my neck and reminds me that the person who was supposed to be my other half, my better half was also the X-men's sacred cow? Jean Grey who could do no wrong. Jean Grey idolized and put upon a pedestal so high that I could not dare to reach it no matter how much I might have wished to.

I wasn't supposed to love her and I never had any illusion that she could love me. But I wanted it, god but I wanted it from the moment I fell into her orbit and understood why she was on that pedestal.

She was mine, she was mine she was mine and yet I never told her, I never allowed myself to chance that happiness and show her that her mark, her Phoenix had a twin.

Jean died, as she often did, but death is a revolving door for mutants in general and Jean in particular.

Sometimes. Sometimes I sit in bed and wonder what would happen if things were different. Not many people get all the second chances I've been given.

And tonight, quite unexpectedly, that brand, that fire on my neck burns and I know the Phoenix has at last been reborn.

Jean, darling. I send out. We really need to talk.

I know, she says. And it's about damn time

20 questions

thanks @sideadde  for tagging me (: this is finally a 20 questions I can get behind :D

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

14. and a bazillion wips on my drive.

2. What’s your total AO3 words count?

203,298

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Not that I've written much these days, but... Shoot, Wenclair, and Clexa. Want to write Sylvaina and used to write for Vauseman too.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

once bitten (try again?)

(wo)man's best friend

ten steps to becoming a happy, well adjusted, homicidal maniac

returned with love

left with honor

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

I try to. But I forget very often :( adhd brain says sorry

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

"nothing will ever change" or "left alone" not angst per se, but def sad. If I ever finish "destiny of trikru" it's gonna be that (spoiler alert xD)

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

"(wo)man's best friend" I suppose? I'm not really equipped for happy endings ^^

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Yeah, when I did some Mass Effect fanfiction. Never wrote for Mass Effect again after that :')

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

Sometimes, never upload it though :P

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

I love the idea of crossovers and tried for a Mass Effect x The 100. Still have the wip somewhere. But, well... Question 8 happened.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Only by myself.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Nah, but I'd really like to :(

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Very tough... Probably Sylvaina or Shoot. Or Clexa.

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

At this time? All honestly xD But "a thousand cuts upon the soul" is the one most unlikely to be finished

16. What are your writing strengths?

Angsty feely stuff content wise I guess.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Overthinking, for sure.

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

I used to do it a lot with Trigedasleng actually.. These days I wouldn't, I developed a distaste for it. A couple of words at most, but never full sentences. If they speak another language, I use italics now.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

OITNB is the first I've uploaded. First I wrote for was loooong before I knew what fanfiction or fandom was. And that was for Gothic (an old german video game)

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

finished: "there is no order without chaos" unfinished: "the destiny of wanheda"

sideadde replied to your post “You know what has been making me mad? The fact that there hasn't been...”

Or Neith....i mean we've got a fucking Rat Nieth and I'm still running around in a swimsuit as the Morg. I guess, technically she has the most skins since she wears all of them, but ya know, no.

It’s quite unfortunate that Morrigan is hardly flashy at all compared to most assassins in the game cause her skin potential is next to nothing outside of her base model
