Dirkjake fic recs?
THE GRAND FIC LIST:
calvariae - tony artreactor
cw for talks of suicide, average toxic yaoi, epilogues-ish. starts off with a spectacular rant from dirk strider abt how platos a little bitch and ends in a way that had me sitting on the sidewalk on an afternoon remnicising like an old war veteran
empty nester - conejita
cw for grooming mention, toxic yaoi, alchohol, so on so forth. literally the brograndpa fic of all time hands down, this fic is one of the best dirkjake fics this year. literally could not recommend more.
integuement -drew lifevoid
jake eats a deer. dirk likes breaking into houses. somehow, this started a rather heated debate between me and my friends about how to get blood out of a cableknit sweater. what else do you need to know to get to read this? please read this. 10/10 fic.
head over heels - space gays that arent in space
cw for lobotomy and suicide attempt, unhealthy relationships also nsfw. also onesided dirkjake. Dirkcentric. i really do NOT recommend reading this if you arent in the right headspace. otherwise its great.
bones of black marrow - aka that one insane html dirkjake fic
CW for a lot of things including cannibalism gore nsfw weaponry seizures just a whole handful of stuff. heed the tags. interesting story story though i read this during work because im not a pussy. Really long.
upgrade - hotelroomservice & rykitty
cw for suicide attempt grievous injury err death and fucked up ness. will have you sitting back in your chair by the end staring up at your ceiling. based on the movie of the same name. really really really awesome.
lunar calendar - tony artreactor
cw for mentions of sex as selfharm, selfharm, alchohol consumption, REALLY unhealthy relationships, post-epilogue stuff, so on so forth. this fic was genuinely my fucking 9/11 dirkjake wise. like everything was different after reading that fic. literally everything. It probably made me insane.
and last but not least...
shag, emotionally devastate - tony artreactor
this is up there in the hs fanfiction bible for shit youve just GOT to read. it deals with post-canon in the most ripsnortingly funny way ever and is what made me genuinely love the idea of dirk and jake absolutely taking the mic out of each other both physically and verbally. it had me snickering and sending this to my friends like "OH MY GOD" and served as inspo for some of the facade and points i want to eventually make with LE jake when i get around to it. im so serious i cannot recommend it more.
New additions!
Its not enough to love the unreal - sloan twistedglossographer.
CW for attempted murder. Jake thinks dirks going to leave him and does something about it. Most BPD jake thoughts ever that latched in my brain like parasites
one of us was supposed to kill the other- sloan twistedGlossographer
CW For cannibalism and outright murder and gore.
Jake actually kills dirk and delivers a stunning brain process on how cannibalism links around to love and other shit dirkjake genuinely is like babies first spoonful of canmibalism love metaphor inspired by some posts i made. It really builds off of cannibalism as love its so awesome.
godspeed and happy readings.

ROMAN EMPIRE POLL!!!!
OKAY so we know beyond a shabbadabbadoo that Jet Black is absolutely a Roman Empire Stan Dad™️. [Beyond just History Channel too - I firmly believe that man has a thorough understanding of the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius and share most of his beliefs].
But what about the rest of the crew? What’s their ‘Roman Empire’?
Let’s start with Faye because ladies first or something
FAQ:
Serial Killers/True Crime category also includes things like the kidnapping of Jon Benet Ramsey, Casey Anthony killing her daughter and getting off on a technicality, Chicago Tylenol murders, the Unibomber, feral children, mysterious disappearances, etc.
Ghosts/Paranormal category includes aliens, cryptids, demons, reincarnation, ESP, and David Lynch himself
Chinese Hanfu Pieces might just be a me thing but I feel like Faye may just sit there and hyperfixate on Dream of the Red Chamber. This doesn't just have to mean Chinese, but any East-Asian period drama. Also probably modern K-Dramas because we all know Faye would eat that shit up.
Also I tried to keep it as non-pop culture and more-history oriented as possible. So I intentionally didn't include musicians or movies or TV outside of period pieces.
Spike, Ed, and possibly others soon to follows! (Let me know who to do!!!)

For those who don't know, the word "angst" isn't a modern term at all, it's actually the germanic enligh version of "misery".
Have that for a change.
