pleasepleaseplease recommend some danphan fics!!
Sorry these are on ff.net I was into danphan before AO3 was really A Thing. Invisobang also just completed and a whole wack of new fics are also now out for your enjoyment so I suggest taking a look there too Lab Rat - Danny (as Phantom) is captured by his parents and vivisected in the lab. THE MOST iconic dp fic from this era of fandom and also the first dp fic I ever read which single-handedly got me into the fandom. I also recommend anything else by this author[sequel]
Pits - Danny is captured by Walker and thrown into the Pits to fight for his life. HANDS DOWN my all time favorite dp fic. I drew a bunch of fanart for it and never showed the author LMAO [sequel]
In The Way - A twisted tale of a summer spent all alone
Wondering - Danny's been captured and tortured by his parents, but he refuses to say a word until his psychiatrist starts connecting the dots. Can he risk keeping it a secret any longer?
Dreams of Light - A cute box ghost fic with a fun twist at the end
Phantom's Sketchbook - Mr. Lancer finds himself in an unparalleled situation, he has access to something which can give him incredible insight into the personal workings of Amity Park's local ghost teen hero, Danny Phantom
Masks - Lancer has had enough of his most enigmatic, frustrating student Daniel Fenton and forces him to stay in detention with him until Danny tells him The Truth. A story examining Danny's relationship with the human race. Another BIG FAVE of mine [sequel]
Darkness - Part 1 of Illuminations saga. [part 2][part 3][part 4] Maddie and Phantom are trapped in the dark and must work together to avoid dying. I don't remember much about this but I do remember it being super creepy and I bulldozed my way through all 4 parts so it must have been good lol
I'm Still Here - Danny's been locked away in a forgotten thermos, buried in the backyard for 70 years. When he's finally released, happy isn't the word he'd use to describe his new life
Real Life - A very creepy take on ghosts and the events of the show, where they're more inhuman, feral, and scary. I don't remember much about this but it's unfinished
Lopeholt - Valerie must survived the night in the third scariest place on earth. **VERY** creepy, I remember reading this in the dark and it gave me nightmares. Another top fave. I def recommend reading anything else by this author
Running to the Enemy's Arms - Danny runs away and ends up on the doorstep of the person who's dead last on his list of favorite people - Vlad. Danny/Vlad father son relationship. A fun and interesting view of what Danny's life would be like had he been the son Vlad always wanted. Incomplete but also another BIG FAVE of mine. Tolerate the first 1-2 chapters and the rest is golden
Checkmate - Vlad forces Danny to leave everything behind in order to save Jazz's life. But just when the billionaire believes to have won his chess game against his young rival, Danny makes a single unexpected move.
A Secret Uncovered - Danny's transformation is caught on tape and now the whole town knows who he is Photoshop - Dash and Kwan find an old class picture and start having a little too much fun on Photoshop. Will someone's secret be revealed?
Chained - It starts with a fire at the Guys in White headquarters, where a vengeful Valerie stumbles across an imprisoned Danny Phantom. It starts with injustice. But what happens when justice and revenge are confused for one another? Where does a hero end, and a villain begin?
Phantom of Truth - Locked away in a secret government lab with Phantom as her subject, nothing stands between Maddie and the truth… except, perhaps, herself [Sequel]
The Soul Sepulchre - Something foul is stirring in Amity Park and it all starts in the bowels of Amity Park's Museum of Natural History
Moral Code - Moral code says to never kill or capture a specimen that you did not weaken yourself. Maddie finds Danny Phantom wounded late at night after a hard battle. After she helps him, she finds there is more to him than she ever thought possible. Mother/son bonding
Connections - Maddie knows that the Booo-merang has keyed into Danny, for whatever reason, so what's she to think when she sees it collide with Phantom? [Sequel]
Isolated - It's just a wish that's been granted with the wrong twist, but for Danny, it's a nightmare that's become reality. He's stuck as Phantom, his family's hunting him, and everyone who can help him is gone
Little Earthquakes - They say that a man is defined by what he does when he thinks nobody's looking. Does the same hold true for ghosts?
Tortured Truth - Danny's parents discover that the ghost boy is half human. Now that they've captured Danny, will he submit to torture and reveal himself, or is the revelation just the beginning of their problems? [Sequel]
Estrelas - AU. Sam's attention is captured by a lonely ghost haunting her grandmother's attic…and discovering his secrets will take everything she has.
Criteria of Life - Every living thing must follow the Laws of Life; however, Maddie wonders if Phantom can somehow follow these laws as well. The fact that he is a ghost is putting a knick in her plans, but what if Phantom can follow the Laws of Life?

hi hello hi I need to scream for a sec but I HAVE A SHORT STORY IN A PRINT ANTHOLOGY! like a real actual physical book!!! the anthology as a whole is about resource scarcity and specifically the moment a resource runs out, and true to form I wrote a funky thing about time and grief and messy familial relationships and gardening. cuz what is there to do when something ends other than to keep maintaining your plants.
this isn't even to say you should totally buy this thing but if you do want to check it out, it's available for preorder

reading this book called “everything for everyone: an oral history of the New York commune 2052-2072” (pause for someone to say “of course you, obsessed with new york and communal living, are reading something called that”) and I’m not very far in but conceptually it whips. it’s by these two academics and it’s a faux oral history of the collapse of capitalism and the establishment of a stateless society. and the introduction is so fun because it like imagines the future lives of the authors into this future that they’ve written about, talking about how they met in the 2010s, had careers as scholars and activists into the 2050s, and how they’re facing the end of their lives in the 2070s and this book is going to be their last big project. it’s one of those things that im having to read slowly because i have a lot of feelings about it but each chapter is an interview with a different person who lived through this rebuilding in the 2050s and it’s really cool.

salut!!! do you have any fave griddlehark au fics?? your taste is immaculate so i would appreciate the recs
omg thank u!! and YES i have tons of recs. I have started a couple of bookmark collections on ao3 for my personal favorite fics, THREE of which are about griddlehark!! As a heads up I only made them somewhat recently, and am therefore trying to catch up on my bookmarks backlog, so they aren't complete but I recommend everything in them :D
Griddlehark Modern AU bookmark collection (what it says on the tin, all fics >10k words) Griddlehark Canon Divergence AU bookmark collection (Basically any AU ft. griddlehark with canon divergence from any period in the timeline, including regular canon divergence & more drastic alternate paths such as Nova AU, BOE!Gideon, Her Divine Highness AU, etc) Griddlehark Misc AU bookmark collection (Any non-canon, non-mundane AU)
for specific fic recs, just off the top of my head:
Waiting and Better Days by badgerjaw (Griddlehark modern AU sickfic & hurt/comfort, made me cry (positive), really beautifully written)
I am one of the young women who was rescued from the Locked Tomb cult, AMA. by mintpearlvoice (formatted like a reddit AMA, funny but also angsty in the best way. what can i say but them <3)
literally anything written by @valancietrinit/valancytrinit, especially if you like your alternative universes with an angsty modern flavor they have some utterly FANTASTIC oneshots here, literally no words u just have to read them and experience it for yourself
hold you like a weapon by @gideonisms/GingerAlchemy (ballet fake dating AU with pitch perfect griddlehark dialogue and banter. holding them in my arms)
The Heart Is Hard To Translate by JustBeCos (BOE!Gideon AU, Harrow is captured by BOE and Gideon ends up guarding her. One of the most scrunchable Harrows ever, with SUCH a well written Gideon as well, tears my heart out with each update!!!)
Mors Vicit Omnia by @four-for-fidelity/WalkingDisaster (forensic anthropology AU that has me by the THROAT!!! in suspense, truly one of the Fics Of All Time, to me)
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by @neornithes/pipistrelle (MOBY DICK AU where the scions of the Houses are called by God to go on a Ressurection Beast hunt. Once again, truly one of the fics of ALL time, the way this fic re-interprets Resurrection Beasts, Lyctorhood, the River, and necromancy in general is just beyond fantastic)

Anidala is definitely one of the most annoying ship to be completely obsessed with because there’s so many fucking fics under the ao3 tag and yet I can’t find anything to read, because people keep tagging them on stories where they’re a very background relationship.
Do you understand the hell im going through spending hours sorting through this fucking ao3 tag and having to scroll past all these non-Anidala centered fics, only able to find one or two new, decent looking fics to read?? DO YOU UNDERSTAND????

AOAOAOA Ep 121: For decades, the legendary daytime talk show "The View" has been home to iconic hosts from all sides of the political spectrum engaging in heated debate . But you may not have heard of "The Look", a similar show hosted by three opinionated women and one absolutely ancient one.

do you have any fav trans egg yuri (I know this isn't really part of ur duties but saw you talking about yuri stories & couldn't resist, we're always on the lookout for more)
no need to worry! i'm always happy to answer questions unrelated to my duties, ESPECIALLY when it comes to things like yuri!
so like i mentioned in the tags of my previous yuri recommendations post, i haven't read a TON of yuri. but that being said! i do actually have an answer to this one!!
me and Madame Curator recently finished reading the light novel series I'm in Love with the Villainess. and while the main yuri couple of Rae and Claire are both cis, there is a SECONDARY yuri couple that actually features a trans character! i know this isn't quite what you were looking for probably, but i do highly recommend the series in general!
SPOILERS FOR VOLUME 2 OF THE LIGHT NOVELS BELOW THE BREAK
so, basically! in volume 2, it's revealed that Prince Yu Bauer isn't a prince at all. in fact, she's actually a princess! Rae's best friend, Misha Jur has had a crush on Yu for a while, so when she finds this out, she tells Rae that she doesn't care what gender Yu is and that she'll love her just the same. Misha, Rae, and Claire work with Yu to allow her to not only come out, but also transition successfully!
additionally, volume 4 features another trans character who also is able to successfully transition! i won't go too in depth with that one, since she's not part of a yuri plot line, but it's worth noting!

Was tagged by @oceancamp to post my current five favorite songs! (They should invent a stages-of-grief-esque model that encompasses and accurately describes both types of anguish I had to go through making this list - the one of limiting myself to only five songs, and the one of trying to put as little videogame music on here as possible so that I don't end up looking like an absolute goddamn geek, which... I am... Oh well!)
Thank you so much for tagging me - here are the songs!
Heaven Pierce Her - War Without Reason
Tatsuro Yamashita - Love Space
This specific arrangement of Death And Republic + Meet Again
Winger - Junkyard Dog (Tears On Stone)
The Protomen - Light Up The Night
Is it courtesy to tag other people after you've been tagged in a post like this? If that's the case, I'll tag @spiralled-fury, @solradguy, @swamppossum, @five-by-five, @northstarring, @ineedmoredragons and @tbonechessor!
#logs#ya don't have to participate if you don't want to‚ from what i've gathered - it's all just for fun anyway :]#The link to Yamashita's song is actually a link to a website that hosts city pop songs‚ since those keep getting taken down on YouTube due#to the strictness of Japan's copyright laws with regards to music. Uploads of Yamashita's songs in particular get taken down quite#frequently... The rest are either Bandcamp or YouTube (in case of Junkyard Dog) links#Very out-of-character of me not to put a Кино song on here‚ haha#I had a hard time deciding whether to put HOLD BACK THE NIGHT or Light Up The Night here‚ but ultimately decided on Light Up The Night#because... hoo boy#okay storytime. i've known of the protomen since somewhere around 2021. got The Good Doctor in my recommended feed‚ clicked on it because#i thought the album cover was cool + the title was appealing‚ but i never really listened to anything theirs beyond that song after that.#fast forward to 2022. be me‚ watching the greatest videoessay on planet earth (Steak Bentley's Metal Gear Solid 4 Was A Mistake).#the fucking MONTAGE comes on‚ and I fall in love with my second Protomen song. second fast forward to 2023 going into 2024‚ finally got#around to playing the Violence update. i learn of the name of level 7-2. the widest‚ most mischievous grin appears on my face.#i enter the level‚ proclaim ''ULTRAKlLL IS NOW A STEAK BENTLEY REFERENCE'' and blast the song as i get my ass beat by every single thing in#that level.#and let me tell you. getting mollywhopped ten thousand times by the FUCKING GUTTERTANK TRIO AT THE END OF THE LEVEL WAS. not a pleasant#experience. but the song made it better. :) (i played the level before the balance patch came out and uh let's just say i had more deaths on#that level than on 2gabe and 1gabe. SEVENTY-FOUR. FUCKING. RESTARTS. JESUS /CHRIST/.#goodness how i yearn to make a 3d animation of v1 going through 7-4 with that song in the background as a tribute to the man himself but#alas i am a student who has everything in the world but time#thanks for the tag again!! ^^

I wish to further the Folsom Brian Rust agenda so, that & 💕? Perhaps?
YES!!! JAKE GUENTZEL'S JOURNEY OF EXPLORATION!!
i don't know what is with me and fingers in mouths tonight...hmm
;;
Intellectually, Jake knew Bryan was taking him to a leather bar, but there was a huge disconnect between the name and seeing Bryan in a leather vest and leather pants and fuck off industrial Red Wing boots outside the door of the bar.
Jake is wearing jeans, and black t-shirt. Bryan is wearing leather gloves. Jake wants to die.
Jake’s been able to skate by in relationships by being polite, the kind of boy a girl wants to take home to Mom. He doesn’t swear much at home, he never pushes a girl for more than she’s willing to give – has never much enjoyed sex at all – and cleans up after dinner. He’s good, and kind, and not very cool at all.
He shoves his hands in his pockets, but that makes him feel even less cool.
Bryan stares at him.
“Hey,” says Jake, awkwardly.
“Jesus Christ,” says Bryan. He stutters slightly on Christ, and Jake knows that’s just how he speaks and he means nothing by it, but it hits Jake harder than he should. Probably because of the leather.
“I’m taking you home,” says Bryan.
“I just got here!” says Jake. He wanted to go in. No, he did not. Well, kind of. Bryan said to show up sober, and Jake did, because he’s good at following the rules, but he might need something to get over himself to walk in.
Bryan pulls out his phone, texts someone something. Jake wonders if it’s that guy Bryan is with sort of, the one Bryan never brings around to team events but who is always in the background of his video calls and in the foreground of his photos. Jake is so curious, but he’s not sure he’s earned that information. No one on the team has.
Bryan takes Jake home in his car. The ride is quiet and Bryan is playing Johnny Cash. Jake feels moderately uncomfortable, but wildly on edge with anticipation. At a stoplight, Bryan reaches across the console and puts a hand on Jake’s thigh, high up, and leaves it there as he drives. Jake sits very still, because he doesn’t want Bryan to let go.
Jake’s been to Bryan’s house a bunch of times, an older home in the same neighborhood of Allegheny West that guys always move to because the schools are good and the roads are safe. Bryan has neither use for a school district or a car that demands gentle handling, but he’s always game to host a party or drinks or dinner.
This doesn’t feel like that. This feels like more. Jake tries not to wiggle when they pull into the driveway, but he wants Bryan to touch him and he wants to touch Bryan and maybe he wants Bryan’s guy to touch him, and that’s a new thought that makes his ears turn red, wanting more than one guy at a time.
Bryan draws his hand all the way up the seam of Jake’s jeans to his crotch. Jake sucks in a breath.
Bryan smiles at him. “It’s okay, Jakey.”
Jake’s not nervous. Or he’s nervous, but he’s also not nervous, because of everyone on the team, he’s probably safest with Bryan. Bryan is kind and sweet and he shows up for his guys and he has no quit and Jake’s liked him for years and years and known him for so long that he can’t imagine playing without him, but he’s never known Bryan like this. But he doesn’t feel unsafe at all.
Jake has been keeping one hand on the door handle and the other on his lap. Bryan unclips his seatbelt. Jake does too, but Bryan doesn’t move to get out of the car yet, so Jake stays put.
Bryan takes Jake’s hand. His leather glove is soft, not hard and cracked at all like Jake expected. It’s thin enough that Jake can feel how warm Bryan’s hand is. Jake runs his fingers against the leather, marveling. He holds Bryan’s hand up so he can see it in the dim light of the driveway.
“You like that,” says Bryan.
“Yes,” says Jake.
Bryan turns over his hand in Jake’s, palm up. Jake curls his hand around Bryan’s and presses two fingers against the leather, pushing into Bryan’s palm. Bryan wraps his fingers around his.
Jake ducks his head and kisses Bryan’s fingers. It tastes different than he thought, but he wasn’t sure what he was expecting it to taste like. He’s a hockey player, he’s put his mouth on all sorts of weird stuff, but none of it tastes like Bryan’s leather, which are supple under his mouth, and soft against his lips.
It honestly tastes expensive. Jake doesn’t really know how to describe it other than that. He experimentally sucks on the tip of a finger, the leather in his mouth feeling both dead and alive.
Bryan makes a choked-off noise. “Inside,” he says, pulling his hand away from Jake. Jake tries not to make a soft sound about it, but fails. He watches as Bryan visibly makes himself take a breath and slow down, burying whatever bullet-like attraction had just hit him until he could be calm again.
God, he’s so cool. Jake wishes he were half as cool. He’s literally wearing a t-shirt.
Bryan puts a hand on Jake’s jaw. Jake stares at him. 
Bryan rubs Jake’s cheekbone with his thumb. “You have no idea,” he says, “how–how you make people feel.”
Jake does not, or did not, but maybe he’s starting to get an idea of it now, the way Bryan is visibly pulling himself back, forcing himself to take it slow, forcing himself to be patient for Jake. He wants to make it good for Jake and that makes Jake hot all over.
Bryan pulls his head down and kisses him very gently on the brow. “You’ll know soon,” he says. “Come.”
