Fic Recs March '23
Some fic recs! Mostly going to be Dream SMP, but I wander outside the fandom ocassionally! If you ever want to see the longlist for this, you can keep an eye on my bookmarks on Ao3, but here's a short list of stuff that made me go Damn, that's just so fun/painful/good.
I'm gonna have to put this under a cut because dear god once you put all the tags in this is not that short of a short list.
The Fics

Tags: Philza's Chat is Made of Crows, Action/Adventure, Exploration, Nature, Near-Death, LightHearted
Length: 1/1 chapters, 9,630 words
A young Phil gets adopted by some crows! Crows are smart, right? These crows seem— really smart. And kinda unnatural. And there are so many of them? I'm sure it's fine.

Ooooo messy relationships. Puffy takes Niki out for takout. It goes— not as bad as it might be. These women have so much baggage— but this could be the beginning of their reconciliation! Maybe! If we're lucky! They're trying! They care and they hurt. :sob:

Length: Chapter 2 of 5, 5,371 words.
In a desperate attempt to negotiate with a supervillain (the crowfather) for the release of his friends, vigilante Ranboo decides to kidnap the blood god. It goes as well as you'd expect. This is just a really fun concept well pulled off, but I especially appreciate how benchtrio feels realistically young but not babied, and emduo is DANGEROUS. Love me a murderphil.

Length: 22/60 chapters, 17,177 words
Written entirely as Reddit posts and comments. This one is just soooooo interesting as a form piece. It's not really crack treated seriously in anything but the form, cause once you're used to the form it's just an unsettling slow burn as you realize how unreliable your narrators might be and how people are missing information. I started it going "oh is this sympathetic [character]?" and then certain chapters hit and I went "oh noooooooooo" with eyes the size of saucers. Really interesting. Author has been going through it though.

Tommy wants to go on a road trip with vampires, but fates (and everyone in town and also technoblade who is a vampire) won't let him. It's post-apocolyptic AND it's vampires— there is so much worldbuilding sunk into this one. Religions! Cultures! The shadows of cultures past! I automatically trusted the vampires because they're emduo and I have emduo brain, but was I right to do that? Who KNOWS

Length: 1/1 chapters, 3,450 words.
This was the breakout fic of the 48 hour exchange because when I tell you this is hilarious, I am not joking. Oh my god. Quackity thinks he and Wil are enemies, Wil thinks he and Quackity are dating. They clash. It's a chat fic. It's a high school au. It's outstandingly funny.

Didnd't realise until I typed this out that it was second person, it just hits like a freight train. INCREDIBLE schlackity character study. I think I get it now. Does exactly what it sets out to do, finishes it in under 2k words, goes home. Mic drop.

So this one is by MawoftheMagnetar so you KNOW Keralis is going to be there, but there's also a Tommy who's on the run from something (what's happening), mysterious monster hermits (what's happening), powerful and myserious forces that are controlling people (what is HAPPENING). It's super fun to see the monster designs for the hermits, Tommy was a star of his tv show but everyone was watching the show for side characters, I have no idea what's happening but I am SO here for the ride. Adderstones.

Okay now that I put those tags out there it looks much darker than the experience of reading this is most of the time. For MOST of it it's just fun times as young prince Technoblade, who is the cutest, is gradually lured away by the fae. Hmm okay maybe that plot is also dark. But come on now, Fae au. Anyways very cute Techno who I love so much, Fae Phil who is just here to cause problems and steal children (which honestly is just gainfully enployed and respectable when you're fae), extremely hateable OC family for Techno who get what's coming to them, beautiful descriptions of magic.

The fantastic Purpled revenge longfic with an entire invented religion and super-cool magic system. I can't overstate how cool the worldbuilding is. Purpled is a construct and a vigilante?

A deep-dive into the Wilbur and Phil relationship as Wil grows up. As the author put it, this isn't Bad Dad Phil, but Phil is carrying his own trauma and Wil is a complex opinionated person and oof. Sometimes these things collide. It's the sort of messy exploration of that relationship that I have wanted for a long time, without villifying anyone involved. And thank goodness, a happy ending.

An incredible ANIMATION also made during the 48 hour exchange about traffic series ties. It's absolutely beautiful.

Medium: Zine
Rating: Teen
Warnings: It's not on the archive but I'm gonna say no archive warnings apply, maybe some comic violence.
I was part of this one, but so were about twenty other people, so I feel justified in linking this one. Incredible interlocking series of comics, stories and art, doing a single slice of life in a city when everyone's powers are swapped, and what happens to the city's superheros and villains when they try to recover and fix things. So many cool POVs and story arcs.

Type: Fic
Summary: “Do you have a mind?” the kid asked at once, landing close to Techno’s tail where he couldn’t reach. He had tapering white wings, a smattering of feathers in his blond hair. “Speak now or forever hold your peace if you do, man, ‘cause if you’re feral that’s a fucking issue. A concern, one might say. Considering you’re a shark and all.”
The kid cocked his head, and Techno noticed belatedly that his eyes were heterochromatic: one was blue, but the other was this odd pale-green, lined yellow around the lids, like–
“Oh my god, I’m being talked to by a seagull,” Techno said in abject despair. “This is it, the worst case scenario. I’m gonna get eaten by a dude who steals ice cream cones out of toddlers’ hands.”

Relationships: TommyInnit & Philza , Philza & Technoblade & Wilbur Soot
Characters: tommyinnit, philza, technoblade, wilbur soot
Length of the work: 38,206 words
Genre: AU, Dark Fic, Fantasy AU, Found Family
Type: Fic
Summary: Angels are weird bastards. Tommy’s been with this one for a couple days now and they’ve been the strangest days of his life.
Usually his life is actually pretty calm. He hides, he sleeps, he tries to find food, if he does find it, he gorges himself and then finds another place to sleep and hide. Sure there are terrifyingly intense moments where someone else looking for food finds him, but those are actually pretty rare occasions.
Before all this he’d only really encountered about fifty or so near death experiences, and he figures that’s pretty good for surviving three years as a runt.
All of this whole ‘belonging to an angel’ thing is weird as fuck and sometimes Tommy is half tempted to leave. But as strange as it is its…not bad.
He got his fucking wings back. And his tail. And he gets to sleep somewhere safe and comfortable whenever he’s tired. He doesn’t have to go out hunting for carcasses to scavenge from, Phil has his endless food supply that he happily feeds Tommy from whenever he demands it.

Type: Fic
Summary: Polyamory was a relatively new development in the world of nobility, but when the emperor was looking to add another consort to his flock, it was Quackity’s job to ensure that Schlatt was the one chosen for the position. As the duke of one of the four major duchies of the Antarctic Empire, Schlatt was a political powerhouse for sure, and Quackity couldn’t be more proud of his protector. All they had to do was get through the consort trials and then Schlatt would be in, and Quackity could continue to support his partner from the shadows, where he could be safe and protected.
Of course, there is a chance the plan devolved almost immediately upon execution, and Quackity found himself getting far more contact with the royal flock and the other consort candidates than he ever could have expected.
THE SHORT OF IT: A Fantasy/Royalty AU that features unconventional A/B/O dynamics, political worldbuilding, a heavy emphasis on trauma recovery and found family dynamics, and soap-opera levels of non-communication. And also, there’s romance. See forenotes for more details.

After over a decade together in the city of Carrows, the two of them frequently see things and deal with things that are probably a bit too ridiculous to name, and have the experience to handle it, if not particularly frequently the money.
When the mysterious (and clearly very rich) Pearl Moon walks into their agency, offering them a massive payment for a simple job, what are they to do but accept?
Yeah, they may be about to regret that one. This job is going to be anything but simple, and the entire City of Angels may be at stake. Careful, Atsign Agency: the past is watching.

Summary: Jackerella's life fucking sucks. Her goddamn parents died (how inconsiderate) and now she is stuck living as an indentured servant for her evil stepfamily. Her younger stepsister bites people (he won't stop no matter how many doctors they bring him to) and his older stepsister is a megabitch (also a homewrecker). His only friends are talking rats, so Jack is pretty much waiting on a miracle to get out of this mess... and that miracle comes in the form of a charming prince, some glass shoes, and a demon from hell (and the demon has MASSIVE tits).

Summary: The Coastal Laboratory for Abnormal Wildlife Studies has found themselves in possession of a live, captive, and dangerous siren—something previously unheard of in the scientific community. Doc, one of their top researchers, is assigned leadership of the study on Specimen 9201223, later nicknamed ‘Martyn’.
Over the course of the project’s run, he and the siren develop an intense rivalry that eventually mellows into a far more complex relationship, as Doc discovers that Martyn is far more human than they’d initially assumed.
Unfortunately, the rest of the organization does not have the siren’s best interests at heart. As Doc grows closer to Martyn, he finds himself forced into increasingly-risky decisions in the name of protecting him, trying to prove his humanity to people who only see a monster.

The prisoner startled, levered himself up and hissed through his teeth. “Right, that wasn’t the smartest decision I’ve made this week,” he remarked quietly. “Scar? Are you across from me?”
Shuffling in the opposite cell. “Can you do me a favor?” a second voice asked. “The next time you threaten guards, can you try to have a weapon first to strike fear into their hearts? I think you broke our hand.”
“We have another,” the man said defensively, and Scar huffed a laugh. “And anyway– oh. There’s someone else in here with me.”

Length of the work: 511,877 words
Genre: Action/Adventure, Angst, AU, Dark Fic, Drama, Family, Fantasy AU, Friendship, Found Family, Horror, Hurt/Comfort, Kidfic, Romance, Royalty AU
Type: Fic Series
Summary: It's been three months since the coup. Three months since Sapnap, a knight, and George, his prince, have been chased out of their home. Three months of being on the run, trying to find a safe way out of Kinoko without being caught by the president's mercenaries or an opportunistic bounty hunter.
It's hard, but it would be a lot easier if he didn't have to worry about George's sudden taste for wandering. Or the two guides that have worked their way into his group, promising them a safer way out of the kingdom. And it would be a whole lot easier if Sapnap wasn't flying solo, doing a job made for two.
And then there's the Godling to worry about. Yeah. That's a whole thing.
(Summary is for "When The Sunlight Dies", the first story in the series)
