5. Hi! 🤗

This one is for ITMF. I'd like to read new fics about WWX having a new golden core. No mordern fics or dark ones, please, I'm not in the mood 🙏. I want happy endings!

Thanks again! You make my days much better!!

🥰✨ @wangxiansgirl

The Core Issue by Hauntcats (T, 21k, wangxian, WQ & WWX & WN, NHS & WWX & NMJ, canon divergence, golden core rebuilding, golden core tied to soul, angst w/ happy ending, not JC friendly) WWX meditates a golden core back

when you’re doing all the leaving (then it’s never your love lost) by tardigradeschool (T, 26k, WangXian, Hurt/Comfort, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Canon Divergence, Canon-Typical Violence, Sharing a Bed, Sharing Clothes, Fix-It, the inherent eroticism of under robes, Golden Core Transfer) LWJ gives WWX a part of his own core

🧡 a stone to break your soul, a song to save it by rikke ( M, 180k, WangXian, Arranged marriage, Canon Divergence, Hurt/comfort, Light angst, Canon typical violence) Technically not a new golden core, but a new core of a different type

The Fire Lapping Up the Creek by notevenyou (E, 66k, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Hurt/Comfort, Canon-Typical Violence, Injury, Injury Recovery, Blood, Respiratory Illness, Major Illness, Fever, Grief/Mourning, Burial Mounds, Angst with a Happy Ending, Implied/Referenced Suicide, Hunger and food scarcity, Surgery, Fix-It of Sorts) WWX gets part of someone else's core transplanted into him

Ghosts Shouldn’t by ShanaStoryteller (Not Rated, 15k, WangXian, Grief/Mourning, Canon Divergence, Angst with a Happy Ending)

Righteous at a Cost by thunderwear (G, 21k, wangxian, LQR & WWX, Canon Divergence, Fix-It, no one dies, LQR finds out about WWX's core, WWX and LQR are friends??, In My Fic?, its more likely than you think, LWJ in the bg like whats happening?, Fluff, WWX goes to Gusu, Mutual Pining, Golden Core Reveal)

Can't Tell Me Nothin by natacup82 (T, 35k, wangxian, Canon Divergence, Everybody Lives, Family Feels, Communication, BAMF Women)

🔒Away from Trouble by Ilona22 (M, 15k, wangxian, Alternate Universe, Not JC Friendly, WangXian Get a Happy Ending) This is one of my personal favorites, for the growth wwx goes through and what he accomplishes separate from the sects while regrowing a new core for himself. (However, the author doesn’t spend enough time on wangxian romance for it to not just feel like something they tacked on to fill that required box, so don’t go in expecting good wangxian)

What Is Left Over by Loriqod (T, 30k, wangxian, JC & WWX, Yunmeng Shuangjie, Yunmeng brothers, Post-Canon Fix-It, WWX Has a New Golden Core, Happy Ending, WangXian in Love, SO SO SO IN LOVE, bite-sized angst, Canon-Typical Violence, JC & WWX Reconciliation, Training Montage) This one’s WWX redeveloping a core in MXY’s body. It might not be quite what you had in mind, but give it a chance, this fic is ALL about him actually cultivating with the idea of making a new core, & it’s rare to find a fic with that focus. (Even amongst fics that are suppose to be all about that(for some reason people are allergic to showing WWX actually cultivate))

6. Alright everyone, give me everything you have where either: (A) WWX is an actual rogue cultivator at the start of the fic, or (B) he leaves the Jiangs (via Madam Yu banishment or getting fed up with them an leaving on his own) and spends time as a rogue cultivator. (I want to see my boy in the wild doing the wild cultivator thing) if he doesn’t have a core at the beginning of the fic, I would appreciate recs where he regains it at some point. I have a Wangxian agenda btw, so WX endgame plz. @omgnectarina

7. hello! I was hoping you could recommend fics where wei ying is taken hostage by people who hate lan zhan and lan zhan gets beaten up trying to save him. Maybe kind angsty and emotional? @ivybookworm

~*~

8. hi - for the next itmf, any fics that go on from that haunting almost last scene in the Untamed where LS, WN and LWJ all leave WY alone on the road. angsty ones that explore the idea of WY having no-one would be awesome. thank you so much for all you do! @oldoni

Story-Shaped by lingering_song (T, 13k, NHS & WWX, wangxian, Post-Canon, Chief Cultivator LWJ, Inventor WWX, Found Family, NHS needs a new hobby, And apparently that’s spoiling his Wei-Xiong, Mentioned Character Death, Alcohol, Protective NHS, WangXian Endgame, Not JC Friendly, Not particularly gentry sects friendly overall tbh) NHS finds WWX wandering about. Possibly not as angsty as requester is hoping for, but does address how bad an idea it is to let WWX wander alone

im reminded of a fic but cant recall the one. Wwx is travelling by himself, writing letters to LZ, he stays in a town and it ends up cursed. LZ and the juniors arrive to solve the case. Wwx is acting weird and hides his letters. The juniors read the letters and find out wwx is angry and full of resentment about how he's been treated. They find out the curse resonates from him. They talk it out to resolve matters. Any idea?

some good mistakes by Lise (T, 18k, WangXian, JC & WWX, JC & LWJ, Road Trips, (terrible road trips), Post-Canon, Rescue Missions, Hurt/Comfort, ish, Awkward Conversations, POV JC, JC & WWX Reconciliation, (ish they’re working on it)) link in #13

Rotten Work by ShanaStoryteller (Not Rated, 63k, WangXian, WWX & JL, Post-Canon, Protective WWX, Protective JL, Yunmeng Bros Reconciliation, Reluctant Matchmaker JL) similar to Story Shaped, but it's Jin Ling who finds wwx. // might fit the bill? It isn't overly angsty, but it does have characters remarking on how bad of an idea it is to let WWX go off on his own.

12. ITMF like, historical perspectives. Like people in modern times talking about/teaching about/learning about LWG, WWX, and possibly others as historical figures

Historical Precedents for the Concept of Time Travel and Transmigration by meyari (G, 21k, wangxian, Fluff and Crack, dubious academic writing, Historical Research, it's practically its own character in this, vague college setting, Modern, Good YZY, Good Person SS, Reincarnation) It's the second part of a series, the first one takes place in canon era, and the second one is about modern Wei Ying researching about historical Wei Wuxian for his thesis! I recommend reading the first part first (or at least looking at the premise) for much-needed context, and also because it's so good!

DID YILING LAOZU REALLY EXIST???: a Thread [1/?] by el_em_en_oh_pee (G, 6k, wangxian, Academia AU, Social Media, Research, Cartographic Mishaps, HOW IS CARTOGRAPHIC MISHAPS AN ESTALISHED TAG. NO HAPS WERE MISSED HERE I ASSURE U, Folklore, LJY's Hot Takes, Procrastinating Your Dissertation Proposal By Writing A 104-Tweet Thread: The Lan Jingyi Story, Mixed Media, POV Outsider, this is kind of an AU - Modern and kind of not???, it's a modern academic/researchy exploration of canon lol) it's AMAZING

For 12, there's also the one where Wangxian are majoring in cultivation in University and there's a talk about the meaning of Hanguang-jun compositions with several one liner "titles" like fried watermelon rinds are terrible or something like that. Can't mine it on my AO3 history but it's there, I know it's there!

🔒 Night of the Living History (an edutainment special!) by Aerlalaith (T, 51k, wangxian, Modern with Magic, Workplace Relationship, Fluff and Humor, Museums, living history, the author's feelings about, the edutainment industry, museum workers, Some Plot, Slice of Life, Injury, a minor haunting, the stakes are low, unless you're on the museum board i guess, WWX does not get an employee discount)

~*~

13. Hi! For the next ITMF, could anyone recommend wangxian fics that also feature LWJ & JC not getting along/being hostile toward each other? I'm talking like anything from them having disagreements to physically fighting to just outright hating each other.

Untitled tumblr fic where LWJ punches JC in the face (sharing my reblog as writer seems to have deleted their blog & I can't find it on their Ao3)

the only way out by cafecliche (T, 12k, wangxian, JC & WWX, JC & LWJ, Post-Canon, this is one part character study, one part comedy of errors, and one part fix-it, WWX is a people pleaser in this essay I will, my event planning experience rearing its head again, Podfic Available)

Wei Wuxian’s Kidnapping Back and Forth Farce (Starring Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji) by misscam (M, 5k, wangxian, JC & WWX, Humor, Switching)

some good mistakes by Lise (T, 18k, WangXian, JC & WWX, JC & LWJ, Road Trips, (terrible road trips), Post-Canon, Rescue Missions, Hurt/Comfort, ish, Awkward Conversations, POV JC, JC & WWX Reconciliation, (ish they’re working on it)) should be noted that the Wangxian is background and the primary focus is on LWJ and Jiang Cheng having lots of emotions coming out sideways at each other

16. Hi! ITMF your favourite recommendations with LWJ being petty and pouty (maybe bratty too?) - modern AUs and modern with magic are preferred. Thank you <3

[genshin-scenarios]

Reunion: Pretenses [Part 3]

Read the first series (Adopt a Wanderer) here! An AU where Scaramouche/Wanderer gets isekaied to your world - a found-family series.

Summary: A new (but familiar) person meets your acquaintance, but perhaps things aren't quite what they seem?

Warnings: contains spoilers of Wanderer's story in the archon quest!

Part 2 <-

-> Part 4

Despite your awkward attempts to bid him goodbye, Wanderer did a pretty good job of finding interest in your temporary home.

From what you can tell, he currently has no memories of his past, stuck in that uncertain stage of the Archon Quest after he’d tried erasing his existence. However, while you had an idea of Wanderer’s circumstances, a part of you still couldn’t get used to seeing him like this.

“So you found this place from exploring the forest?” He studies your small home, taking a quick look around. The space feels much smaller with two people, but you push that thought to the back of your mind.

“It’s nothing much.” You’re not sure if you should be wary or worried for him, with how good-natured he’s been acting ever since you met earlier. “I’m sure you would’ve seen better homes during your travels.”

“Sometimes when I wander too far away from civilization, I end up sleeping through the rain under a tree.” Wanderer chuckles to himself. “I’d be quite happy if I found a spot like this to return to.”

“R… Right…” For lack of better words, you resist the urge to ask him if he’s okay. “It sounds like you’ve traveled quite a lot.”

“Not as much as I would’ve liked.” He pauses. “I feel like I’ve been searching for something that is still unknown to me, even till this day.”

'If you smile as you feel joy and cry when in grief, isn't that enough to be considered human?'

The voice of your past self echoes in your mind, but the words die out before they can reach your tongue.

“I’m sure you’ll find it eventually.” You offer him a smile, genuinely hoping he’ll find some closure after the Traveler runs into him. Not you, who can't do much for him this time. You’d forgotten how conflicting it is to be a bystander in a situation like this, where the person in front of you was so close yet so far. 

At least back then, within the safety of an apartment and world you knew as yours, you had the chance to offer him some shelter from the rain.

.

.

.

…Kuni does have to admit, seeing your internal conflict whenever he makes a request as ‘Wanderer’ really is quite amusing. Try as you may to push him away with a variety of excuses, you couldn't seem to bring yourself to shut him out when he bore such a well-meaning, doe-eyed demeanor.

Was it a chore to feign innocence around you? Yes. But when it came to matters of predicting human intention, Kuni has grown to be more critical than not. It helped that he’s grown into a pretty good actor after centuries of questionable exploits. Whether it was to simply appear human or to play the part of a confused traveler, he’s practiced quite a lot of roles. It’s amazing what can be brought out of a person’s character when they believed the other person had nothing to hide, or was too innocent for their own good.

And while you may try to act like a simple stranger and resident of Teyvat, he could tell that you’ve been observing him, trying to match some information in your mind. 

Suffice to say, Irminsul did not contain data of you (you were not from here, much like the Traveler), yet after recovering his memories from his encounter with the Dendro Archon, Kuni started to receive odd visions in his dreams.

They contained bits and traces of an uneventful life in another world. For weeks it had only featured himself doing menial tasks such as chores and reading books, but the headaches only began when another character appeared; you.

It started as a flood of memories, one after another settling into his mind as if they belonged to him far longer than he’d been the Balladeer or Kabukimono. But just as quickly as that clarity came, it was snatched out of his hands as he woke, a foreign bundle of nerves crawling up his throat - burning, burning.

When asked, Kuni would simply tell Nahida that sleeping to pass the time was just about as interesting as the mundane ongoings of Sumeru. Within his dreams, he continues to piece together the puzzles of a past that seemed to evaporate from reality the moment he'd returned to Teyvat. 

Perhaps it was some cruel experiment by the gods, to place him in a life that might have been worth living, only to return him to a fate written by the stars.

But what of you, who was privy to the story of this world long before it occurred? As he continued upholding the image of a good-natured, amnesiac Wanderer, his suspicions that you were already aware of his fate only confirmed itself; for someone who tries to leave his side as soon as you'd met again, you were incredibly bad at controlling your body language from betraying your emotions. Why else would you look at him with such an odd tangle of relief and remorse?

Yet with every interaction, Kuni is finding it hard to feel anger towards you. Perhaps it’s because he’s encountered far greater evils in his long life — or perhaps it is because of the way you try to maintain your distance, only to give in to the illogical urge of stepping back towards him (out of sympathy, or guilt? He intends to find out.)

His own feelings about the matter was another story, so Kuni instead focuses on the matter at hand; finding a way to bring you into the city, which you seem to have been avoiding for a while. (Admittedly, after he found a name and general idea of your profile from his dreams, he’d begun to investigate if you could have existed in Teyvat or had a counterpart. The search came up empty, but luckily the Aranara were quite willing to pass along gossip to Kuni, and he soon learned there was an odd outlander living around the Avidya Forest. You seemed to be living quite cautiously, perhaps to avoid him.)

Kuni’s flattered that after arriving here, you’d seemingly based most of your actions around him (asking around about the situation in Sumeru, if there were any new gods cropping up… without actually trying to make contact with him. He'd settle that bit with you later.)

While slightly exasperated and annoyed about your avoidant antics, Kuni has to admit it was quite amusing to see how long you could keep up the act, squirming every time he prodded and tried to bait you into a situation where ‘Wanderer’ might unearth your lies.

“With how much it’s been raining lately, it’s easy to get sick.” Kuni says as he places down the firewood you’d collected together. Ulterior scheme or not, he highly doubts you were able to chop wood by yourself with no prior equipment or practice. He glances at you, playing this off as a passing thought. “Have you ever felt unwell lately?”

There’s a pause as you contemplate your answer. “...I had pretty bad headaches for a while, but they’ve subsided by now.” It’d occurred the same night you arrived in Teyvat, as if your body and mind were having to adjust to this new world and in recovering the memories you’d lost. Luckily, the Aranara you became acquainted with was quick to find you some herbs to soothe the pain. “I managed to get some medicine though, so it wasn’t too bad.”

The amount of herbs packed into bags around your desk says otherwise, but Kuni doesn’t mention it. “I see… If you’re free after this, would you like to head to the city together, then?”

“Oh, what for?”

(Was it a betrayal for you to shield him from the truth all those years ago, when you were already aware of what his future would hold?)

“I’ve worked for a merchant there, who has some products you may be interested in.” Kuni dusts off his hands, giving you a reproachful look. “I believe that the… produce you’ve been living off so far, may not be the most suitable for a healthy lifestyle. That is, if you don’t mind me saying this.”

In other words; ‘your living conditions are a little concerning, and that’s coming from me’. You can practically feel your pride deflating at the fact he’d tried to word it nicely. 

(Just what is truth, and why does it only ever bring him pain?)

“I… I see.” You clasp your hands together, entwining your fingers to calm your nerves. “I suppose we could do that, yes.”

But what if it triggers the Traveler’s quest? What if me being there changes something, and…

Before you could reconsider, Kuni takes your hand and leads you out the door. He offers you a smile and asks if you’ve been to the city before, letting the conversation fill the air.

(And why is it that despite you being the first to lie to me, the time we spent together remains the kindest in my memory?)

(Just why do I feel such regret?)

it's bee's birthday! send me yoongi requests and/or fic recs!

You’re too old for this kind of shit.

You’d known exactly what you’d signed up for. A ten-year high school reunion doesn’t leave much room for interpretation, so you’re not exactly surprised, you’re just tired. It’s been hours of playing politics, playing pretend. Smiling at people whose names you wouldn’t be able to remember with a gun to your head as they talk endlessly about their marriages, their kids, their cushy jobs.

The pictures are the worst part.

There’s only so many different ways you can ooh and ahh over a fucking goldendoodle.

And of course—of course you had to elect a complete teetotaler as your class president, so it’s the Prohibition Era all over again even though you’re twenty-eight years old and alcohol has been legal again since 1933.

Fuck, you really need to get out of here.

Someone’s at your side showing you another picture of a wrinkled newborn. Karma is real and this is it, you think. When you die and inevitably go to hell, it’s going to be full of people showing you pictures on cracked iPhone screens. Dogs with cloudy eyeballs, unfocused pictures taken on cruise ships, kids with chocolate smeared on their faces, golf trips. How much of this can a person conceivably take? Surely there’s a limit.

Wordlessly, you abandon the person to your right. Don’t bother excusing yourself, because you haven’t seen these people in ten years and you’re going to make it twenty with no issue, and push your way through the crowd. Sparser now than it had been an hour ago, because all the people with sense did their rounds and bailed as soon as they realized it was a non-alcoholic event.

You’ve got to admit: even if your class president is a teetotaler, they picked a good venue.

From where you stand, the city sparkles below you. The summer breeze is cool on your skin, wraps around you like a safety blanket, and maybe you hadn’t had the good sense to leave earlier, but you’re nothing if not a pre-planner. So you rifle through your bag, let out a quiet hurrah of triumph when you spot your lighter and the joint you’d rolled, and it’s stuck between your lips and lit in a nanosecond.

“Feel like sharing?”

You startle. Swear as you fumble and drop your lighter. You’d know that voice anywhere, because it’s been ten years and it still sounds the same. A little rougher around the edges, but that’s to be expected with the passage of time. “It’s been ten years, Min Yoongi. I don’t know where you’ve been.”

“Is that a no?”

You shrug. Hand the joint over. Try to ignore how familiar this feels. “Can’t believe you showed up to this thing.”

“Me neither,” he retorts, words jumbled together. He flicks the lighter once, twice, and then there’s a spark and a flame. He takes a hit, holds it, blows the smoke into the night. “Thought maybe you’d show up, though. Looks like I was right.”

“That seems a bit drastic. You could’ve added me on Facebook like a normal person.”

He snorts. Rolls his eyes. “Do I seem like the Facebook type?” Takes another hit.

“You seem like the type to smoke all my fucking weed. I said I’d share, not do charity work.”

Yoongi’s laugh is a little condescending. Might even sound cruel if he were capable of it. “Wow. You haven’t changed a bit, huh?”

How would you know, you want to say, we haven’t spoken in ten years. But then Yoongi’s mean little laugh morphs into something softer. A smile. “Thank god. I thought you’d show up with a ring on your finger and three kids and be, like, a fuckin’ accountant or something.”

“The hell is that supposed to mean?” You take the joint when he hands it back. “What’s wrong with accountants?”

He ignores your question, just lets the two of you exist alongside one another. The city is always loud, but it’s peaceful from where you are, passing a joint back and forth with a person you used to know better than you knew yourself. A person who’d left at the first opportunity and never looked back.

A person you spent a lot of time mourning, both because you missed him and because there was so much left unsaid.

“I think I used to be in love with you back in high school,” you say, because you’re not sure if you’ll get another chance. Ten years ago you’d thought you had all the time in the world. “And then you left and I was kind of a mess for a while, so I think I have changed. I have trauma now.”

He quirks an eyebrow. “Yeah, you’re full of shit. You’ve always had trauma.”

“That’s not very nice.” You pout.

“I seem to recall more than one night out with you that nearly ended with both of us in the back of a cop car.”

You shrug. “Wasn’t much else to do around here. At least I got it out of my system early.”

“Mm, yeah. Think I was in love with you back then, too, though.”

A disbelieving laugh tumbles out of you. Figures. There’s a lot you’ve never managed to get right, so you aren’t surprised to have another to add to the list. Maybe the two of you would’ve been able to overcome a year or two, five at the most, but ten is… ten is a lot. Ten feels insurmountable. The Yoongi beside you is not the Yoongi you knew back then, has changed in all the same ways you have.

A spark: “You wanna get out of here?”

“And go where?” you ask.

And a flame: “Wherever you want.”

[justapixelthing]

Do you ever have moments where you hate your favorite ship? (Another Oot Zelink rant - electric boogaloo)

Here we go again I guess. For some context: I grew up with Ocarina of Time. I played the game since before I could even read (I was like 4 for sure). I had kind of a rough childhood so for me Oot was an escape. Link was my childhood friend. I identified with him but at the same time saw him as my closest companion.

And well to little me there was no doubt that Link and Zelda were a thing. Same with Mario and Peach (SM 64 was there at the same time for me). Like it was clear as day to me. I was a child and it shaped the way I would end up liking my relationships. A hero and the princess. And I even ended up getting my hero in real life and he likes to call me his princess. We've been engaged for a while now.

So because I grew up with it, before I even understood what shipping was, it was more than a ship to me. It was my childhood. My reality.

You also have to realize that before TP came out and even for several years after TP was there, oot Zelink was also still very popular.

Then closer to today, we have things like Hyrule Historia and.... Zelda youtubers all saying the same thing of how the Hero of Time canonically marries Malon (which ... is still a theory. Like youtubers saying it's what happens and not marking it as theory doesn't make it canon) and the majority of the fandom treats it as fact. And okay, I get why the theory is popular, though I still think it should be treated as theory.

But now you have everyone going against you. Oot Zelink content is most of the time depressing tragic and painful content. What once used to be stories of love and peace faded out for the most part. When you write a fic about oot Zelink being happy together or make art about it, people will tell you 'but Link banged Malon' and worse things. Like I'm not here to tell you Malink is impossible, but I do think (and I will die on that hill) that oot Zelink IS possible. But then I get insulted over it. Hell someone called me the T slur over it.

I'm not blind to the hints, but these two are engraved into my mind. And sometimes I actually DO wish I could stop shipping them and wish they would stop affecting me. But they don't because they were part of my growing up process. Now when I see content about them, things like simple tweets or opinions or even just Oot content in general, it can put me into total agony. Oot used to be one of my favorite games and now just looking at it can ruin my mood and put me at unease. All the hero's shade content basically feels as If I'm watching my childhood friend die over and over again (which is whole different topic in itself) and all the tragic oot Zelink content rips my heart out. All this also made me feel unable to really like TP, which is a shame, as it introduced some of my favorite things.

What also hurts is, that as a child I really liked Malon. She was one of the things in my life that inspired me to sing. But this whole situation and the way several fans are has made me detest her. I try to like her but I basically have to force myself to do so.

I'm never going to attack you for having a different ship than mine (unless its illegal). But this situation is really hard on me. I wish I could agree with Malinkers but I probably never will.

Who knows, maybe I am delusional. But seeing as Nintendo never has and likely never will confirm Malink and has pushed oot Zelink (Oot 3d promotional manga? Approving of the mangas that push oot Zelink, which includes the TP manga? Miyamoto literally saying he'd like to see Zelda as Links girlfriend in oot?! The whole ending of the game literally being set up like a romance film with a break up and a reunion!?) you can't tell me Nintendo never intended anything romantic to come from them. And using this I still feel in the right to ship them in a non AU way.

But because of how the situation is, I no longer like Oot as much as I used to. It was once the greatest game ever to me and I still objectively consider it as such, but it isn't as it used to be for me. Sometimes I even wish It didn't exist (though that would be a great injustice to the world if it didn't), because it upsets me too much. I hate seeing my childhood friend die and not get what he deserves. I detest the tragic oot Zelink path (though I do not mean to tell anyone that they shouldn't like it - this is just my personal experience and I get why others like it).

I do like some other things that are tragic - I mean one of my favorite films is Titanic, but I guess I grew up with those things already being tragic (imagine Titanic not being tragic! A literal historical disaster!)

It is shocking how much a simple thing like a ship and a character's fate can affect you mentally. Things that are part of your childhood, even fictional stories, can shape you quite strongly.

So yes, sometimes I hate this ship. Sometimes I love it, but when I love it, I usually need to be far away from the fandom.

I wonder if anyone else feels that way about this or another ship?

#pixel rants #oot zelink #oot #text post #why is a ship doing this to me #this is maybe too personal #so I might delete #shipping is serious business #shipping is a pain #I wish I could stop #My degree is half psychology #so I'm sort of analyzing my own psyche

Avi’s HC’s: Kingsman Edition

Since I always have a shitload of silly lil ideas and HC’s bubbling in this empty bone cavern, I have decided to share them with you uninterested folks

Anyways, here are some HC’s for my bbg, James Spencer, also known as Lancelot, who had very little screentime

⁍⁍ He cannot cook. I love and adore him, but he simply cannot.

⁍⁍ Pranks. No one is safe, not even Arthur. He’s only still an agent because he is (was) so good at his job.

⁍⁍ Roxy’s uncle. The man spoils her rotten.

⁍⁍ Pure, unchained theater kid energy. He has a flair for the dramatic, and sometimes injects old-fashioned phrases into conversations.

⁍⁍ Absolutely loves dogs, never had to go through the dog test and has zero knowledge of its existence. Percival doesn’t have the heart to tell him.

⁍⁍ Prefers not to wear his glasses because “he doesn’t need them”. Also thinks that they negatively affect his “devilishly good looks.”

⁍⁍ This man is a dork and kind of a dumbass but he’s my skrunkly. My bbg. Perhaps even my funky lil guy (even though this man is much taller than my 5′1 ass.)

⁍⁍ Cares very much about his looks, one of the peacocks of the agency. On par with Harry when it comes to preening.

⁍⁍ He has the worst fashion sense out of all of the Kingsman agents, and he’s kinda extra. A few times he has almost gone on missions while wearing the most god-awful ties.

⁍⁍ Speaking of missions, he’s a bit of a wild card. He likes flashy entrances, fire, and explosions. There are a few times where he’s managed to level entire buildings somehow. 2nd major cause of poor Merlin’s hair loss.

⁍⁍ He also believes that Lee should have been Lancelot, and that he was only picked because he was the one who lived, the runner-up. Perhaps he suffers from a bit of survivor’s guilt.

⁍⁍ No matter how much he tries, he cannot/is afraid of taking things seriously. His first instinct is to joke or lighten the mood, or even dismiss what is mentioned because he is afraid. He’s so used to being the “fun” one, and just doesn’t know how to handle anything else.

⁍⁍ Very physically affectionate, in contrast to Percival. This man would give the best hugs.

⁍⁍ He’s great with kids, but sucks at babysitting because he usually goes along with shenanigans.

⁍⁍ Gets along well with Harry, and probably would’ve gotten along with Eggsy if it hadn’t been for his untimely demise.

⁍⁍ He’s like a golden retriever personified, and he hates sitting for long periods of time.

Sorta au-ish stuff under the cut

⁍⁍ He did not die, I am in complete denial, he somehow avoided death and comes back after Golden Circle. Maybe they find him while on another mission, or maybe he just shows up, I don’t know.

⁍⁍ Very, very out of the loop, but once he meets Eggsy, the two are certainly a force to be reckoned with.

⁍⁍ Tearful reunion with Roxy, who is also alive because I said so, maybe he’s a bit panicked because she almost died.

⁍⁍ A bit stunned that Arthur (Chester)  is dead, but oh well.

⁍⁍ Percilot. He’s lowkey had it bad for Percival for a while, but after he comes back boom it’s confession time, they get together, and they’re both happy.

⁍⁍ He’s so sweet with Perci and they love each other very much. Again, he’s such a dork I adore him sm.

HARPER’S 2022 FIC WRAP-UP

WELL GANG, WHAT A YEAR IT HAS BEEN!

first off, i know i’ve fallen off A Lot on tumblr in the last year, so my deepest and most sincere apologies for that. 2022 was a chaotic, frustrating, and overall deeply transformative year (for both better and worse) for me, and with all the changes/struggles in my professional and personal life it’s been difficult to maintain a decent posting schedule along with like. continuing to talk to people and function as a human being lmfao.

alas, another year has come to an end, and though i considered not doing my annual wrap-up, it’s become something of a tradition for me at this point, so fuck it, we ball.

without further ado, let’s talk fanfic:

projects i updated/completed in 2022:

oceans between us (shiita; 38,737 words; complete)

it’s a testament to how heinously long and strange this year was that when i sat down to draft up this wrap-up i genuinely fucking forgot i finished this fic in 2022. wild!

like a lot of fics i write (or want to write, and then do not) this fic was born from an attachment to a particular image or idea that inspired inspiration and then i had to pull a whole plot out of my ass to justify its existence. this was very much the case with the first chapter of ‘oceans between us’ aka atonement au, where the spirit of doomed historical romances and period-typical repression and sexual tension possessed me like a ghost and caused me to cough up the first chapter of that fic in like two days. i also wanted to write something that was very different than the typical character interactions and tone that existed in my previous works, and even looking back on it now i still think it’s a really unique and interesting addition to the works i’ve published thus far.

like i’ve said before, originally this was going to be a oneshot that ended where the first chapter does, i.e. with shisui going to jail and the relationship between him and itachi purposefully left without resolution. but that idea reeeeally much did not go over well when i discussed it with other people (aka my wife), which left me with the very real problem of how to conclude this goddamn fic. and that’s where itachi came in.

hilariously, i feel like this fic ushered in an unofficial (and accidental) era of itachi pov takeover where nearly everythng i wrote last year (and definitely everything i published in 2022) was in itachi’s pov exclusively. that said, after the events at the end of the last chapter, it felt necessary to have itachi tell the final chapter because i knew i needed to have a good explanation for his lack of action at the conclusion of chapter one and i also needed to get people back on his side for the end of the fic to land successfully.

in terms of structure, the switching of tenses and time periods was both incredibly fun and incredibly annoying in terms of editing and consistently, but i do feel like it added an immediacy and level of fear to the fic that enhanced the reading. if you’ve read the original book, you know that the characters itachi and shisui are (loosely) based on (cecilia and robbie) both die and never have their happy ending in real life, only in fiction. so i wanted the reader to feel real concern that these two crazy kids might not make it after all.

overall, i ended up being really, really happy with how this fic turned out, and some of my favorite scenes i’ve ever written (namely, the reunion scene between shisui and itachi in the cafe) are in this story. more than anything, it was just nice to start the year by finishing something.

lazarus taxon (shiita; 38,256 words; in progress)

quite frankly, this fic was the bane of my existence in 2022 for a variety of reasons.

first off, this chapter was an absolute Nightmare to write. as many of you may remember, initially i had planned jurassic world au as a three-part fic, whereas now it is... not quite that anymore. having written and published the first two chapters within a pretty short timespan, when i sat down to seriously work on (what i thought was) the final chapter, it rapidly became clear that there was no way to successfully wrap this shit up in one more installment. and as i was writing, it was pretty obvious that i was rushing from plot point to plot point trying to get the fic finished rather than taking the time to make it a story i was proud of and would want to re-read. once i realized that, it became a guessing game of what i was missing, and once i thought about it, the answer was obvious: conflict.

(we will have this discussion again next year when i tell the tale of how, in january 2023, i ended up scrapping almost the entire (actual) last chapter of this fic because i had to learn this lesson all over again.)

narratively speaking, blue’s injury served a few important purposes. first off, it’s a chance to see shisui--who’s been something of a handsome and charming enigma--soften up and appear a lot less composed and in control than he’s previously been. that vulnerability was necessary if he and itachi were going to push their relationship to another level, and also necessary to motivate itachi to take a real, genuine stand against fugaku and all his fugaku-ery. (it was also, admittedly, a chance for me to continue to play in the sandbox i’ve created where i get to use a lot of my real world knowledge and skills--namely, animal behavior and veterinary medicine, the two things i do for a living.)

once i unlocked that piece of the puzzle, everything started to fall into place, and then i knew that i would need an entire chapter to devote to itachi and shisui as a couple--what their relationship would look like, how dating would change them, and if, given the differences between them, it was possible to even sustain a relationship in the first place. which is why i ended on the confession scene, so everything that came after would be something of a blank slate and the finale could just be the--pun intended--evolution of their bond.

all that said, by the time i was finished with this chapter i had spent so much time, effort, and energy trying to wrangle it into something readable i was kind of drained by it, and that fact along with the knowledge that it’s never been my most popular fic (and that the reception to this update was a little quiet) left me burnt out by fanfic for a bit. it also didn’t help that, as i’ve previously discussed, this was around the time my entire life was uprooted by losing my job so there were just. a lot of factors working against me that really zapped my inspiration. if only another project could have come along and truly inspired me...

pack up (don’t stray) (shiita; 63,923 words; completed)

hilariously, i had way more Profound and Meaningful shit to say about this fic, but tumblr ate a chunk of my post when i was trying to save it and i’m too annoyed at this stupid website to try and recreate all of my previous comments in depth. 

what i will say is that, if there’s any fic that stands a chance of surpassing star trek au as the fic i’m most known for, i’m really, really happy it’s this one. i love this fic from beginning to end, i think it’s one of the strongest pieces i’ve published, and i’m honored that other people have become as invested in the sad, weird little world as i am. honestly, it’s been so touching to see how many people have connected with this story and how it’s gone from a piece i mentioned in my 2021 wrap-up as really loving but being kind of sad about the lack of traction to a fic that developed a really dedicated reader-base who provided some of the best comments and feedback i’ve ever gotten. and since the two updates were so different from one another (and the final chapter is so, so long) it only feels appropriate to give them each their own sections.

chapter two:

to be blunt, there’s a really good chance that the second chapter of band au is my favorite thing i’ve ever written, full stop. part of the reason i think i have such fondness for this chapter (besides the fact that that i accomplished all my goals for this section of the story with this chapter and i feel like the writing itself is pretty good) is the fact that i wrote almost all of it in the span of about six or eight hours like a madman. in doing so, it was really easy to stay focused, maintain a tight grip on the pacing and narrative, and let everything flow from there.

like i said in my 2021 wrap-up, part of the appeal of this story was to push itachi and shisui to the brink of likability and test how many crappy things they could do to one another while people still had empathy for them (the answer turned out to be: a lot!) i think part of why so many people have reached out to tell me that this fic affected them so much is because, in some ways, all the pain and misery is just so mundane. there’s no spaceships or magic ninjas or genetically-modified dinosaurs; it’s just two people breaking each other’s hearts, over and over again, the same terrible shit that happens every day and there’s something really relatable about that. (for more on this point, see my answer to this ask.)

(speaking of relatability--as someone who has struggled with substance abuse for the entirely of their adult life and is always working on their sobriety, the prospect of dipping into that well was incredibly daunting, and i’m happy that it felt authentic to people who were reading.)

i don’t want to gush over my own writing because that seems tacky, but man oh man. there’s just so many things about this chapter i love and i’m just so happy other people felt the same way. anyway, time for the finale!

chapter three:

in some ways, the final chapter of band au was one of the pieces i was most nervous to write. after spending two chapters taking a wrecking ball to the shiita relationship in this fic, the prospect of piecing it back together in a fashion that felt genuine and respectful of the trauma they both experienced seemed kind of impossible.

like most of my projects, i knew from the beginning what the end of this fic was going to be. i actually knew the ending to band au better than most of my other stories, because before i even finished chapter one i knew the last chapter would end with the airport scene and i knew the specific lines of dialogue that would conclude the fic itself. the problem was how to justify even the possibility of shisui and itachi considering getting back together after everything they did to one another in the last chapter.

the first step seemed to be presenting how much they’d grown (itachi is sober, shisui got married--and divorced!-- and had a kid, both of their careers had progressed in different directions, etc.) to show that perhaps they were evolving to a point where they could learn to be in each other’s lives again. i really enjoyed re-imagining this characters as, in theory, older and wiser and adding in newer characters and original details to flesh out the lives they had created when they were apart from one another. honestly, my heart is so soft for both millie and heather, and i’m genuinely so happy that my ocs--always a dicey prospect in fic--got such a warm reception. i also really loved getting to show the band as a functioning, familial unit and all the different relationships that existed amongst the four of them. and how can i not love mean little sasuke with his suburban chickens and burning hatred for shisui. 

the second step, as it often seems to be for me, was making peace with the fact that this chapter was going to have to be approximately eight hundred thousand years long if i wanted to stick the landing. if i was going to trace itachi’s journey from suspicion and lingering mistrust, to warily allying himself with shisui, to realizing he actually enjoys being around shisui again, to realizing how much he still misses and loves shisui, to taking a risk and giving shisui a second chance despite literally every reason not to do so, i was going to have to take my time and earn that decision. even though writing this one chapter ate up the majority of my writing time this year, i’m really happy with the length of this chapter and the different locations and events it followed, because i feel like it gave the story a lived-in quality that was necessary given how over-the-top the second chapter was.

on the other end of making this reunion functional and believable, inevitably this chapter also had to be the shisui redemption tour. i’ve made it clear in the past that, as shitty as his behavior was post-break-up, i don’t think he’s entirely responsible for the nuclear end to he and itachi’s relationship. that said, i knew it was going to take a lot to get both itachi and the reader back on board with Shisui and Itachi: The Sequel, which is why we get to see so much more of him than we did in previous chapters: rather than itachi quickly summarizing events or the narrative presenting small bits of dialogue, we actually to spend a lot more time with shisui the flesh and blood person now that he’s not the idealized or villainized version that lives in itachi’s head. and it wasn’t until he was a fully realized person again that there was any hope of him and itachi making things work, which... let’s talk about that ending.

i knew from the very beginning that i didn’t want to end this fic with shisui and itachi officially getting back together. considering all the shit they’d gone through, it didn’t seem realistic to have them suddenly live happily ever after. this was always a messy story about messy people and i didn’t want to give it an easy ending. i always wanted to end this story on the idea of a new beginning, of a better future, rather than a tidy resolution to this relationship, because it seemed so much more authentic to their journey and, to me, more meaningful. and, though i’ve had people tell me they wish i’d written a better ending, it’s a decision i still stand by 1000000000000% as the right choice. that and i’m writing a sequel oneshot as we speak so it’s not even really the ending anyways

i really could talk forever about this au. of all the fics i have, published and unpublished, it really does stand out as one that’s special and so very close to my heart, and i’ve spent so much time thinking about these washed up losers that i think i could keep returning to this ‘verse again and again for as long as i continue to write fanfic.

so, that’s it! it’s kind of hilarious i had so much to say given that i fell far below my own expectations for 2022 in terms of writing, but what can you do.

in the spirit of being a little more productive (and certainly a lot more positive), let’s set some goals for 2023:

i’m finishing the last chapter of jurassic world au even if it kills me

I AM ALSO FINISHING THE NEXT STAR TREK AU CHAPTER EVEN IF IT KILLS ME

after, like, three years of hibernation i actually dusted off my pacrim au and yep, you guessed it--i want to finish that sucker, too

finally, since i’m hoping to take two (2) fics off my plate, i’d like to finally get serious about publishing the first chapter of the shiita enemies to lovers vampires and werewolves au i’ve had in the works, which i’m very excited to share with everyone

if you made it this far, thanks so much for reading! if you’d like to find me elsewhere, i’m a lot more active on twitter, so feel free to stop by and say hello.

see you soon!

[quek-a-sketch]

OHHHH THAT FUCKS GOGHUHFG dies. ok SO how would lizzie react to the tidestriders im CRAZY !!! this ALSO goes towards everyone else on the black rose but Lizzie means the world to me so ykno

also how does edyns curse work O_O

Ok so Lizzie at first was kinda iffy on the new additions to the crew but she warmed up WAY quicker than Chip did, mainly because Edyn kinda became the big sister to her and chip aswell and she was happy to have another girl around even if edyns a bit older yknow?

For Gillion, it took him a WHILE to get used to the oversea and Lizzie does play little jokes on him but will always end up actually explaining it to him and Edyn if she needed help aswell compared to Chip who often took jokes too far

Lizzie is ATTACHED to the Tidestrider siblings whenever they are on an island, because obviously the kids don't know the whole situation but they know bad people are after gil and Edyn so little Lizzie is fully convinced she can fight off anyone who comes by

Also Edyn taught Lizzie how to swim in this au, even though usually her or Gil would just let Lizzie ride on their back as they swam (chip was made to swim /j)

Also Lizzie is

Let's just say her reunions with either Tidestrider sibling are Tense, Gillion's less so because by that time it's a known thing that Gillion has had his memories locked away, so she's more frustrated what became of someone she considered a sibling- plus out of chip, Edyn and herself... She is more chill for Gillion to sit with, mainly because she's the only one where when Gillion looks at them he can tell they are mourning the boy he used to be but can't remember being, Lizzie just takes him as he is now and doesn't bring up his lack of memory

Edyns is TENSE man, she assumed Chip and Lizzie had died after hearing that the sea turned completely black and even has rose tattoos to symbolise them, so when they reunite (thanks Caspian) Edyn feels so much Relief but... To Lizzie this Older Sister who was meant to look after them, who she held out hope would eventually turn up because she knows they got away, didn't even bother looking (obviously Lizzie doesn't know about edyns curse at this point)

I hope that makes sense for lizzie and eventually they come to an understanding but yeah I definitely need to work on her part of the au more so Uwbsusb again any suggestions or critique are super welcome!!

Edyn's curse is basically that she can never touch seawater again, it burns her and it she stays in it too long she will end up with burn marks- her gills also seal up in saltwater so uhh the best thing I can compare it to is what happens to devil fruit users in one piece!! They get extremely weak and begin to sink/pass out in the sea, just add on the burning and there's edyn's curse!

It's so she wouldn't ever be able to return to the trench, since she'd obviously know where it was and when Gil is taken back she's a full on teenager so-

Honestly it's a salt in the wound deal, because she lost her leg thanks to these Triton soldiers and they were certain she was going to die on that beach and yet they STILL cursed her in the slim chance she survived, which she did but it was a miracle

Her ships called the sunken pearl and that's because there's a rune carved into it that allows a bubble to form around the ship, so it works like a submarine!! So she can at least still see her home without being harmed!!

Also the rest of the black rose? I really gotta relisten to the one shot but drey fully goes hey is this daycare now can I bring my nieces/hj

Arlin is kinda glad chip has more Actual Child Friends though that poor man always gets roped into pranks or the kids just LAUNCHING themselves at him

Captain Rose spends the most time with Edyn probably, she's eager to learn a lot! But he does sit and tell tales of past adventures to the kids

Sorry for the long ass post btw

some kind of story where brutus and antony hook up at parties

#i think about drunk party brutus from episode one sometimes and when i do: i spin it into a whole thing #this is actually the most depressing story i have! there is no planned happy ending! #(or more accurately i just. dont have an ending at all?? its a vague fog of an idea that exists when i re watch episode one) #even the AUs where they like. die? they still get a happy reunion in the after life! #this is just (depressive spiraling) (redacted) (antony kills caesar instead of brutus) (were it not that everyone was having bad dreams) #and a four three two one #hbo rome adjacent #a time long gone #we only seem to talk at parties

"She wakes yet again, the haze nebulous in her mind, hanging like fog, and along with it, some mild nausea.

When it clears, she’s not really surprised to be seated in her grandparents’ back garden, as whatever or whoever is controlling these hallucinations seems to be on a ‘Rose Tyler’s favourite places’ greatest hits tour. 

She is sitting next to her grandmother’s magnificent rose bush, which she tended meticulously especially after Rose had been born. The house was in a sleepy little village north of London, where the number of livestock vastly outnumbered the number of people, and some people still had thatched roofs.

Rose had many happy memories here—this little old house held a host of mysteries and secret nooks and crannies that only a child would be able to find. She would get lost in them for hours at a time, creating adventures for herself and her dolls and stuffed animals.

She expects Donna to show up at any moment, but for the time being she is enjoying the perfume of the rose bush, which she hasn’t smelled since her grandparents had died in her teens. It causes tears to spring to her eyes, missing them. She figures that whoever is in charge of these visions she’s having must also be in control of the olfactory stimuli.

As if by automation, Donna glides in nearby and sits in the chair next to her.

She says nothing, but is waiting for Donna to say something to clarify what this is all for.

“This is lovely,” she says, unable to hold the silence any longer.

“It is.” 

Rose says nothing else, irritated that she keeps doing a tour of England while nothing seems to be progressing in getting her out of here.

Donna doesn’t waste time. She leans forward, resting her elbows on her legs, wringing her hands, and says, “I need to talk to you about something, Rose.”

“I’m all ears…seems like I don’t have much choice in the matter since you’re the only person who is allowed in my head besides me.”

“Yeah, sorry. Reasons.”

“No, I didn’t mean…”

Donna shakes her head, holding her hand up.

“No, really, it’s fine. You have every right to feel frustrated.”

Rose’s nerves are crawling, so she reaches down, pulling up a blade of grass, beginning to pick it apart.

Donna takes a deep breath and continues.

“I didn’t want to be the one to tell you this. I was even pushing for them to leave you alone in this coma, safe for a while. But the urgency now is that the Dimension Cannon sent a massive wave of charged particles through your body every time you went through it, which reacted with the artron energy that’s already there. You nearly went nuclear, Rose.”

Rose is less than fazed at the moment. She’s waiting for Donna to get to the point, as though this is more or less Tuesday for her, being Torchwood’s top agent.

“This caused your brain to go into protective mode, placing you in this coma. Like a turtle, in a way. But that energy has to discharge somehow, and the only person capable of doing that is you, by backing out of your own mind, and climbing out. You must get yourself out, or you will die.”

Again, Rose is unimpressed.

“So, where is he?” She gestures all around her, standing up.

“Why isn’t he here telling me this if it’s so important? You’d think if this were a life or death situation he’d at least make a cameo appearance, considering I walked through universes for him.”

“He can’t. I’m sorry. There are…reasons. Things he can’t expose you to.”

“You and I both know that that’s a load of bull, Donna.”

Donna avoids her eyes and skips to the point.

 “I am going to ask you…please. I need you to be very brave…for me, if not for him. I need you to come with me, because it’s very dangerous for you to be staying in here all alone. Brains are very fragile, Rose. And yours has been exposed to two very potent energies over and over again. The only way we can try to save you is if you follow me out, or you manage to get out yourself.”

“Try? What do you mean, try? Where would I be going?” Rose’s heart is hammering in her chest even harder, and she can’t pinpoint why.

That feeling shoots through her, like a knife in her back, pain swelling outwards like ink from her spine as fear bristles on the outskirts of her mind. Donna’s suggestion causes her to want to retreat like a terrified animal.

Her breathing shallows, and Donna’s image begins rapidly unravelling. 

She has to get away.

Time is disintegrating, now, along with the setting.

Every second throbs into the next as she fades into darkness, which is no longer welcoming. The pressure beneath her ribcage expands until it feels as though her heart is being pulled out. Heavy, like lead, the cataclysm blasting through her synapses, coupled with its inertia causes her to clamp her hands on her head.

Her vision reduces to barely a tunnel, where she’s focusing first on Donna’s hands, and then her mouth, and to the expression in her eyes as they all flake and dissolve away into the wind.

Somewhere in the faraway distance, she hears the beeping of a hospital-grade heart monitor."

Kataang for the ask game thing h

When I started shipping them:

As hard as I do now it wasn’t until the end of 2020. When I first watched atla in the summer of 2020, I didn’t even really know what shipping was but still knew I liked kataang (I cried so hard when they kissed, when katara ran to him in the awakening, the desert scene). Then once I got into the fandom, I started finding loads of kataang pages and reading into kataang meta (my hobby) and realising even more what an amazing ship they were. So then came the edits, fanart, fics, watching their scenes over and over again every day and every thing in between until I was (and still am) completely hooked on them.

My thoughts:

A1, perfection, amazing, lovely, fantastic, my heart is kataang shaped, I’d die for them

What makes me happy about them:

Everything but the thing that makes me love them so much is how much they love each other. I can’t believe how much they love each other sometimes and that makes me so happy and so happy for them, because they’re both the sweetest best characters I’ve ever come across and they deserve one another:)

What makes me sad about them:

AANG DYING AT 66 AND KATARA IS STILL HEARTBROKEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE AND I CAN’T COPE

Things done in fanfic that annoy me:

Just when they’re reallyyyy ooc. If their characters need to be changed up in the slightest for an au or for a certain scene, I can deal with that, but otherwise not really. I don’t like heartbreak fics either, I haven’t really come across many but if either of them get too hurt in it then I don’t like it. Or if they’re not making an effort to make up/understand one another.

Things I look for in fanfic:

It depends but usually anything like angst and fluff. They need to be in character in it too, and I love when they’re doing their own thing and travelling a lot- having deep conversations and being affectionate and playful with one another. I also love when authors make them fight (not a lot, and not where it’s toxic) if they disagree on something because it’s normal and realistic and plus it wouldn’t be for long, and then making up is the best part. I love au’s too, my favorite is probably where they don’t get together like they do in the end of the show (I wouldn’t change that for the world but for angst purposes you know) and years pass and when they see each other again it’s the tension, the pining, the jealousy, the barriers, the almost kisses, the doubts and hopes- HAND THAT OVER

My wishlist:

For more kataang content from faith Erin hicks tyvm, I’d love some young adult kataang and also to see them being first time parents

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

Honestly nobody, I ship kataang so hard it’s not that I don’t want to imagine them with someone else, it’s that I can’t. But if I had to choose; mai & aang when they’re older and yue & katara.

My happily ever after for them:

that katara realises jinora can guide her into the spirit world, and she asks jinora to help. After some time, jinora is able to lead her into the spirit world where she is able to reunite with aang (just imagine that reunion…sobbing) and be with him for some time before she has to leave again. She doesn’t want to leave and doesn’t realise she can’t stay in the spirit world, but he reminds her of all the people who love her and are waiting for her in the physical world. Before she goes he tells her he is always with her, because he really is (like in the winter solstice: part 1)

3. Hi there! Looking for a fic where Lan Sizhui goes on a TV series (or something similar) trying to find and reunite with WWX (who had raised him from early childhood before he was adopted and subsequently raised LWJ), and it turns out that there was a whole mystery happening with WWX because he basically disappeared in order to protect the Wens and was believed dead/missing. WWX was found in yiling(?) with the other wens living in a community with them. LSZ reuniting with WWX, the Wens, and Wangxian happening. It was a modern AU (unsure if it was tagged as such however), completed work.

4. hi!!!! ok so! i’ve been trying to find this fic with lwj and wwx meet during the cloud recess arc. wei ying is a big airhead who tends to get lost in his thoughts often- and very , VERY prone to wandering away even w many precautions taken since wwx’s fear of dogs jiang have to resort to leaving them all over so wwx won’t escape lans agree to ensure wwx saftey !! wwx ends up wandering and lwj finds him, and somehow lwj agrees to have s3x with wwx if he’s good for a few weeks @vexinglyvebrose

5. hi!! so, for the next fic finder, could you maybe find a post on tumblr?? i mean, i think it was. maybe im wrong. it was something in the cloud recess arc, in which they have a class on curses, i think. then they somehow feel the pain they are going to feel when they die, and while everyone felt almost nothing, wwx got eaten by fierce corpses, that sht gotta hurt. and so he keeps screaming while everyone is horrified watching. i think he gets hurt as well?? im sorry if this was long, as always, thank you!! <3

6. Hi! Sorry to bother you but I can't find this specific fic and it drives me crazy. Wei Wuxian is accused of killing Lan Wangji by the Jins, there's a bloodied forehead ribbon as a proof. He's imprisoned and going to be executed. Lan Xichen doesn't believe WWX did it so he talks to WWX and then launches his own investigation. In the end it turns out LWJ was kidnapped by the Jins to frame WWX. LWJ shows up in time to save WWX.

I think this is part of a series, it's about a dark yunmeng triad and lan zhan is forced to marry wei ying. it's from xichen's pov and there's a particular scene where wwx plays this terrifying song that he says he got from madam lan's ghost(?) and in the end I think xichen prays at his parents' tablets and breaks down in tears. even if it's deleted i save everything, I just can't figure out where I put it. help! @onlyegret

8. This one should be relatively easy, but it is escaping me right now. WWX comes back to Cloud Recesses and is confronted by either LSZ or LJY that he doesn't know LZ all that well - what is his favourite food or tea? As he goes off travelling (plot) he brings things back for LZ, eg different teas, snacks, books etc. Turns out LZ's favourite is Liu An Gua Pian, or Melon Seed tea. Any help would be grand! @enname

9. Hi! Looking for a fic for a friend, actually, but she doesn't have spoons to ask around. She said it's a fic where the Jiangs take wwx in basically as spare parts for a Jiang Yanli with a chronic illness. She assumes it was a modern AU, given the premise of organ donation and such. She can't remember if it was a twitter threadfic or on AO3. Thanks for your help! @math-is-magic

10. I've been looking for a fic, but I can't find it no matter which tag I use. WWX and LWJ are coworkers and LWJ posts pretty pictures of himself in lingerie online (I'm pretty sure it was Tumblr, but I'm not so sure anymore). WWX is a fan of his and commissions some photos, but then stops following him (and messages him about it) because he feels guilty (if I remember correctly, it was because he fell for LWJ). They go on a work trip together and WWX discovers about LWJ's hobby and they fuck about it (I'm pretty sure it was bottom!LWJ, but at this point I don't know). @blueghost13

It's pretty angst and ends soon after LWJ fights against Lan elders infront of the cave, defending WWX. After LWJ is defeated, the elders seal WWX inside the cave while he is still alive. That's all the details I have. I think it might be a reference to Greek mythology? Or smth? The sealing bit. Thanks

13. Does anyone know of the ao3 #wangxian fic I think it was a/b/o: the elders kept wwx in a dream like state where was mated married to lwj then somehow he wakes up and has to deal w reality of not being w lwj??? Like an idiot I didn’t bookmark it and I can’t stop thinkin about it😭

14. hiii!! i was rereading this fic about lwj treating wwx indifferently at their reunion due to a ghost eating(?) his love for wwx, and i could've sworn there was a scene where wwx realizes lwj's attitude is unnatural because he doesn't treat lsz like his son either, but it's not this one. could i get some help finding the fic in which that does actually happen, please? thank you!!! @kisskissgotohell

15. i cannot find that modern wangxian fic wherein they meet when lwj goes to yunmeng for the summer, so of course, they fall in love, but then lwj has to go back to gusu for his studies, where wwx ends up transferring to. wwx tells his new (?) friends about lan zhan, who he thinks he will never see again. his friends (i remember nhs and wq), upon learning the name of this guy, are like, “ooh, you don’t know what’s coming for you 🤭” or something like that.

extra detail: lwj is the student council president (?). su she is kind of obsessed with him; it is said that he has been trying to get lwj’s attention by running against him for the same position.

i think it’s a work in progress. thanks! :D

FOUND? Mmph, I think 15 is a Grease AU and I think I've read it, but a weird thing is happening in searches - if I do a google search for "wangxian grease au" I'll get a link with the description of the fic, but if I click it it's just a list of fics and that one's not on it! Could have been deleted maybe?

FOUND? to go by my Google and AO3 results, the querent might be thinking of summer nights, by Flxffyfxck (/41929365); it has indeed been deleted, and I’ve not found it on the Wayback Machine. They’ve still on AO3, with several MDZS fics.

16. Good day to you and everyone! I am looking for a wangxian fic where lwj keeps wwx red ribbon and it somehow protected and healed him when he had been punishes with the whips.

17. Hello! I have tried to find this fic--a small portion of the fic is something like WWX and LZ are surprised to see the other alive: WWX was burning paper money at LZ’s funeral as LZ died protecting him and LZ was attending WWX’s funeral as LZ failed to protect WWX during a nighthunt. The universe did some weird stuff that merged the two timelines so now they’re with each other. Website I read it on was Ao3.

19. hello!! i’ve been trying to find this fic (i’m pretty sure i read it on ao3). it’s set in modern times (idk if it counts as modern cultivation) where wangxian are married. i can’t remember wwx’s job but lwj was a firefighter. he was trying to save a kid but they couldn’t get out and so they died. i think nmj was his superior, or something like that. nmj informed wwx of lwj’s death. there’s this tradition of the lan clan where widows of the clan seclude themselves in cloud recesses. it’s pretty old so no one really follows it anymore. but wwx does anyway. in his grief he invents (?) an array to go back in time. however he goes back to canon era. i think that’s the end of it. thank u!! @fluffiestfluffer

I think this is a tumblr post, by @mondengel I’m pretty sure. I think it was an answer to a prompt post by…. @angstymdzsthoughts maybe???

For the latest fic finder, 19 possibly this post by mondengel

~*~

20. hi, I'm looking for a fic that I think was part of a series. basically dark!yunmeng triad with Sect Leader(?) Jiang Yanli forcibly negotiating a betrothal with Lan Xichen. He can't risk angering them but LWJ isn't on board until WWX plays him a very cursed song and says something about "your mother told me" so ghost madam lan is in the building? and at the end lan xichen breaks down in tears before his parents'ancestral tablets. oh also, jiang cheng might have intimated he murdered lqr but I'm not 100% on that.

does this still exist? and if not, does anyone know what it was called at least. @onlyegret

my PatPran fics masterpost (+ WIP playlist)

Your Love is Sunlight (Soulmate AU):

Part 1: I Would Gladly Be the Icarus to Your Certainty (T)

Pat does make it hard to be ignored, laughing loudly, head slung back, and the lack of a shirt - even one of those skimpy ones with barely enough fabric to hold it together at the sides - makes it even harder than usual.

Pran wants nothing more than to march over to Pat, grab the front of the overalls and drag him into a kiss, whispering against his lips that he belongs to Pran now, to show him the mark and say damn their friends and families and facilities, because fate has brought them together.

Tags:  Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Soulmate-Identifying Marks, Alternate Universe, POV Alternating, Canon Compliant, except the soulmate part, tried to tie it into the series and their bet, Light Angst, bc there always is with these two

Part 2: With Wax Melted, I'd Meet the Sea (T)

“You told us to hate from afar, yet you always kept tabs to know how the other did in school and life. When it comes to love. But loving someone up close? To have them see you when you’re vulnerable? Instead of having them hate you when you’re at the top? I know what I’d choose, and I have chosen, fate or not, soulmark or not, Pat and I belong together.”

“That is it? That is all you have to say?” Pran’s mother asks, and he thinks her mask must be slipping now.

“It’s everything,” Pran replies, as though it’s the simplest thing in the world.

Tags: Coming Out, Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Soulmate-Identifying Marks, Alternate Universe, Canon Compliant, up to a point, Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, i guess, no beta we die like heteronormative bs

Bright (Canon divergence AU)

Part 1: Together I Think That We Can Make It (Come On, Let's Run) (T)

“I finally feel like I can be myself,” Pran says. “In this place. With you. No expectations. No lies. Just the two of us.”

“I want to stay,” Pat says. “Here. With you.”

Part 2: You and I, We Will Fight to Shine Together (Bright Forever) (E)

“Jesus, Pran,” Pat says, breaking the silence, voice husky. “Get on with it, or I won’t last long enough!”

“I’ve barely touched you and you call me Jesus already? Guess I don’t have to do more than touch your dick for you to call me God then,” Pran quips.

future fic:

you feel like home (M)

Pat can’t quite pinpoint the moment he knows, but it happens like this:

One day, as they’re lying on the rooftop balcony of their apartment, Pat’s head on Pran’s stomach as they’re just still, silent, fingers intertwined as they simply exist in the other’s company, Pat glances at Pran and he knows he cannot ever envision something but this for them.

5+1:

Part 1: And I’ll Think of You Every Night at the Same Time (T)

“I can’t sleep,” Pat says, voice tired. “I know you’re asleep and I didn’t want to wake you but I had to call to tell you it doesn’t smell like you here anymore. I put off washing the sheets for as long as I could just to smell you but it’s faded. Your shirt too. I wish you were here.” -- Pran is away in Singapore and Pat is having a miserable time in their apartment without him

Part 2: When I’m All Alone and I Close My Eyes, That’s When I’ll See Your Face Again (M)

The orange button-down shirt feels like danger, in a thrilling way. It says ‘look at me. Look at how different I am. I am a challenge. A test. A declaration.’

And Pat knows Pa knows the moment he walks through the door of his parent’s place. He thinks Ink knows too, but neither of them brings it up. It’s in the eyes; the way they look at him, at the shirt, at the sleeves that are never present on his own clothing.

“I want to fuck you,” Pat blurts out.

“We can do that,” Pran replies. “Do you have anything specific in mind?”

“I love it when you fill me up,” Pat begins, too aware of starting his every sentence with ‘I’. “But I want to be inside you this time. So I was thinking of the toy. Inside me. At the same time.”

Playlist (WIP)

This has songs I picked out while looking up/coming across songs that fits Pat, Pran and the various fics I’ve written

#PatPran #PanPran #Bad Buddy #Bad Buddy fics #my Bad Buddy fics

[tennessoui]

this is probably too many prompts lol but uhhh obikin: #6 meeting at a coffee shop au; #24 literally bumping into each other au; #40 exes meeting again after not speaking for years au (i'm a sucker for breaking up and getting back together again lol); #42 star-crossed lovers au; #48 meeting again at a high school reunion au

hi!! you probably forgot you sent this at all and I wouldn't blame you in the slightest. I'm pretty sure someone else already asked for 24, 40, and 42, so I wrote #6 instead! warnings for this one: bittersweet in that both anakin and obi-wan are sad, also the author is sad, also this takes place in the midwest in america (this is the first fic that is obviously set in america!!! wow!!)

6. Meeting At A Coffee Shop Diner AU (1.9k)

“Have a seat anywhere you want,” the hostess tells Obi-Wan without looking up from her phone.

Obi-Wan blinks and then looks around the deserted seating area. “Thank you, uh.” She’s not wearing a name tag.

“Angel’ll bring you the menu and take care of you, thanks for coming in,” she says, glancing up at him and then away.

Well then. Obi-Wan reminds himself that customer service isn’t everyone’s strong suit, that she might have had a rough day, that he’s here for the quick food on his way through town, that his ego isn’t fragile enough that he needs to be led to a table with a smile.

The restaurant is almost completely deserted. There’s two truckers eating their weight in bacon and eggs at the counter, and a family of four seated around a table, resolutely picking at their food instead of talking to each other. And then there’s Obi-Wan.

He chooses a booth by the window, one that overlooks the absolute nothingness of midwestern American scenery. If he cranes his neck, he can probably see corn.

God, Obi-Wan’s sick of seeing corn, and he’s only been in this part of the country for a few hours. He needs to go right through most of it to get where he’s headed. He’s not sure how he won’t die of boredom.

The thought sends a pang through his chest. It’s too soon to think of death even in an offhand way. He taps his fingers on the cover of his leather journal, before a line of dark brown under one of them catches his eye. He studies his hand critically.

It’s been two days since the funeral. Surely he wouldn’t still have grave dirt under his nails. Surely things like that wash away eventually.

“Hey,” a voice says from in front of him. A man is turned around and kneeling up in the booth in front of Obi-Wan’s, leaning over the garishly red vinyl of the empty seat with a menu clutched in one hand. His hair is short and dark blond, an undercut with a long fringe settling over his forehead. He has a nice sort of smile, one that looks genuine but doesn’t touch his eyes. Obi-Wan notices how long the man’s neck is and how predominant his collarbones appear in the loose white shirt he’s wearing, before he forces himself to focus only on his face. “I’m Angel,” the guy says, passing over the menu. “Can I get you anything to drink?”

Obi-Wan accepts it gingerly. It looks like something that’s perpetually sticky. “Water is fine,” he says politely. “Thank you.”

“Will do,” Angel salutes him and ambles away. Obi-Wan watches him go before shaking his head to rid himself of any sort of thought, and opening the menu.

It’s standard food fare, of course. Breakfast options served all day if anyone were to come in and request them. Lunch and dinner options are also served all day, probably for the same reason: a diner like this can’t afford to turn anyone away, even if they want a hamburger at nine in the morning.

A glass of water clinks down onto the table next to him, making him look up at Angel, who’s looking at him curiously.

“You ready to order?” he asks, even though Obi-Wan is still very much looking at the menu and it’s also only been a few minutes at most since Angel gave it to him in the first place.

“Do you have any suggestions?” Obi-Wan asks politely. “I’ve never been here before. What’s good?”

“The water,” Angel says and then laughs like he’s said something funny. Obi-Wan finds his own mouth curling up at the sound. Sometimes people’s laughter is contagious, like a yawn.

And then Angel says, “You’re not from around here, are you?”

“No,” Obi-Wan admits. “North of Boston.”

Angel whistles, like Obi-Wan has said something impressive. “Boston, huh? What are you doing all the way out here?”

The pit in his stomach intensifies. He does his best not to look at his nails and the grave dirt that might still be under them. “Driving,” he finally says. “And are you...from around here?”

Angel’s eyes grow distant for a second, and when he focuses again on Obi-Wan, they’re cold. “Born and raised,” he tells him flatly. “Never got out.”

“Oh,” Obi-Wan doesn’t know what to do with the sort of bitterness in Angel’s tone. It complements his own well enough.

“If you like eggs, I’ll put you in for the house special omelette,” Angel declares suddenly, all business again. “It’s four eggs, tomatoes, peppers, cheese. The usual.”

“What makes it special?” Obi-Wan asks, closing his menu and setting it down on the table in front of him.

“For you?” Angel drawls, “I’ll watch the cook to make sure he doesn’t get any egg shells in it,” and then he winks, holding out his hand.

Naturally, Obi-Wan shakes it. Naturally, Obi-Wan realizes a second after feeling Angel’s warm, calloused rough palm against his own that the man had meant to take the menu from Obi-Wan.

He can’t remember the last time he’s blushed this red, but he is absolutely regretting everything about this road trip. God, he’d pay money just to be able to leave now.

He should get in his car and drive back to Boston. It had been a stupid idea to come out here anyway, a result of stir-craziness and a desire to outrun the death of his father.

And now look what he’s doing. Shaking hands with his handsome waiter, as if he isn’t thirty-nine and perfectly aware of social norms.

Thankfully, miraculously, Angel laughs and this time it sounds real. “It’s okay,” he tells him, reaching out to pick up the menu.

Luckily for everyone involved, Obi-Wan finds it very easy to laugh at himself. “Well. It’s nice to meet you, Angel, I’m Obi-Wan.”

“I’ll go put the order in,” Angel says, “Obi-Wan.”

He’s back within five minutes, sliding into the seat across from Obi-Wan. So much for no eggshells in his omelette, but he can’t bring himself to be disappointed. There’s something magnetically fascinating about Angel. He’d like to know more.

“So you’re driving?” Angel asks, picking up a thread of conversation from several minutes ago. “Where are you going?”

“I was thinking of Alaska,” Obi-Wan says. “I’ve--I’ve always wanted to go.”

“You’re driving from Boston to Alaska?” Angel whistles, raising his eyebrows in shock. “I think the gas money alone would cost me two months of work.”

Obi-Wan shrugs. It’s not like he makes much himself as a teacher in Massachusetts. “My father was a lifelong gambler,” he discloses without really knowing why he’s telling this to a stranger. “He came into a bit of luck near the end. A bit of a fortune as well. And when he...died, I inherited it and his house.”

Angel touches his hand softly. “I’m sorry,” he says. “When did he pass?”

Obi-Wan huffs out what might be a chuckle. “A week ago, actually. It’s summer break in Massachusetts--I’m a teacher--and I suddenly had nothing to stay for, for a bit. It was either leave for Alaska or find some other way to cope.”

He runs a hand--his free hand, the one Angel isn’t touching--over his beard as he gives the man a rueful smile. “Dad always wanted me to see more of the world.”

“My mom was the same way,” Angel leans forward to tell him, as if it’s a secret. Obi-Wan feels like it is a secret, that there’s something delicate and fragile in the air. Something that matches whatever emotion is filling up Angel’s eyes. “Always telling me to leave, go get famous, go get happy, come back and tell her about it.”

“You didn’t?” Obi-Wan asks, his chest tightening at the thought that the man before him could be unhappy.

“I couldn’t,” Angel sneers, looking out the window and propping his chin on his hand. Some things must be too close to the heart to tell someone to their face. “Mom got sick. I wanted to get out, I was so close. Graduated high school, packed my stuff. I was going to go to California. To Los Angeles, really make it big.” He rolls his eyes and scoffs, as if there’s something inherently funny about the dreams he must have cherished for so long.

“Then mom collapsed going down the stairs. Just passed out in the middle of the day. Doctors told us she was sick. Then life became all about treatment plans and monitoring symptoms and getting the money for the medicines and I never left. Got a job here when I was eighteen years old, right before I graduated high school. It’s all I’ve ever known, I guess.”

“And your mother?” Obi-Wan asks, mouth dry and heart all tangled up in itself for this stranger man, for Angel with the hard, sad eyes.

“Died a year and a half ago or so,” Angel says flatly like he’s repeated the words so often in his head that the truth digs no barbs into his flesh. Obi-Wan knows that voice is a lie. How often has he looked in the mirror this past week and told himself, ‘Qui-Gon Jinn is dead’? He can’t imagine a year and a half would make the pain go away.

“I’m sorry,” Obi-Wan says seriously, reaching across the table to touch Angel’s hand this time.

Angel shrugs but doesn’t pull away. “Is what it is, I guess,” he says. “I’ve made my peace with it. And the fact that I’ll never leave this godforsaken town.”

“You could,” Obi-Wan points out hesitantly. “You could leave tomorrow.”

For a second, a wild and previously undiscovered part of Obi-Wan wonders what it would be like, if Angel did leave tomorrow--with him. If they got into the same car and headed to Alaska together and Obi-Wan wasn’t alone at the wheel and Angel wasn’t alone in this town. If Obi-Wan could look over at the man in the passenger seat, asleep against the doorway as they crossed into Canada.

Obi-Wan wonders. Obi-Wan aches.

“I could,” Angel says, laughing once. “I guess I could. I guess I just can’t think of a good enough reason to.”

There’s a call of his name from the kitchen, and Angel stands and stretches, checking the time on his watch. “That’ll be your omelette, sir, which is perfect timing considering I’m off shift as of five minutes ago.”

“Thank you then,” Obi-Wan replies, ignoring the pang in his gut at the knowledge he won’t be able to keep talking to him. “It was nice meeting you, Angel.”

Angel’s face grows dark for a second as his jaw clenches. “That’s not my name,” he finally says, scratching at his neck with one hand. “That’s just what they called me when I started working here. Angel, like Los Angeles. Cause I told everyone for weeks this was a temporary thing, you know? I’d be going to California soon as mom got better. Guess they knew better than I did.”

Obi-Wan has never wanted to kidnap a grown man away from a place more, so he hides his hands under the table instead. “Would you tell me your name then?” he asks, wondering if he’s overstepping but needing to know too much to censor himself.

“It’s Anakin,” his waiter says, sticking his hand out, no menu to grab.

Obi-Wan takes it gently, turns it over, and cradles it between both of his hands. “Then it’s nice to meet you, Anakin.”

Maybe, he thinks as he picks at his omelette and watches Anakin shoulder his way through the front doors of the diner before disappearing down the street, maybe he can stay a day in this nowhere town. Just an extra day.

Yes, he thinks, taking a sip of his water. He’ll try the pancakes next.

Evak Fics - Pining

I’m posting half of this list first because I started it a long time ago and it’s taking me a while to go through all the fics. So I will update with more later.

stuck on you (what did i do?) by itjustkindahappened (1.8k words) - It’s not that Even doesn’t try to be friendly with him—Isak just makes it so hard.

On the silver screen by Lokkanel (4k words) - Isak was really not in the mood for this.

I want to love you (in my own language) by fauu_stine (4k words) - “Okay. Maybe I’m not happy,” he admits in a resigned whisper. “Do you need a shrink discussion or a best friend discussion?” "I think- I think it’s more of a friend with benefits kind of talk."

Don't be an ass by Julieseven (4.1k words) - Even really tried to forget about him. It started out as a harmless little crush, really.

I’m seeing so many negative posts about the ending and it truly hurts my heart to see. 15 years these guys have given us. Blood, sweat, tears and a hell of a lot of time. They absolutely do not deserve this negativity. 

I’m going to be honest here. Please bear with me.

At first, I had no idea how to react. I was angry, I was a sobbing, emotional wreck that Dean went out the way he did. I, for sure, thought there was going to be a twist, that maybe it was one of “Chucks Endings” and we were inside his head as he went mad in an alley somewhere. Then I went into denial, like really, this is it? After all this time, all this effort and pain they’ve gone through for it to be...like this? Why couldn’t they be happy? Why couldn’t they both die of old age?

Then it hit me. 

The boys would never do an ending that they wouldn’t feel was justified for their characters and if anyone knows them the best, it’s J2. Dean went down on a normal hunt, Sam got to live the apple pie life that his brother had always wanted for him. 

They were happy. They were at PEACE. 

Even before that death, they were living their normal life. Dean with a dog (oh my heart, am I right?), they had a dodgy washing machine, Miracle ate the leftovers, Sam makes his bed where Dean absolutely does not which made me laugh so hard, Sam likes to wack his hair up in a towel, Dean went to a damn pie festival and finally got the treats of his dreams...it was normal. 

...and so I am at peace with the ending. I get it. I said my emotional goodbye to my two boys through tears, a lot of sobbing and a fond smile. They have given me so much to be thankful for. 

I’m seeing negative posts about reunions and not seeing characters back on your screen. 

Come on now. Let’s stop this hate, right here and now.

Let’s take a step back here and look at this situation, COVID happened, it meant that so much that was planned could not be done because of this stupid disease. Who knows what would have been done differently if things had been normal in the world and you know, maybe we will find out over the next few months. There is absolutely, no need, to be hateful in this fandom.

But please, think about what Dean is going to be experiencing now in heaven, think about what our boys are going to be experiencing at this exact moment in time now they are together again. They’re back with their family. 

- They get to have their family dinners with mom and dad.

- They get to walk into the roadhouse and see Ellen giving a glare across the bar when Dean and Jo flirt. 

- They get to see Cas, who has helped rebuild a heaven that Dean and Sam would love. 

- They get to hangout with Bobby, our Bobby. Not AU stand in. BOBBY. 

- They get to be yelled at by Rufus. 

- Sam gets to see Jess, a reunion that he’s waited so long for (which i’m sure he’ll be happy about even if he did get married)

- They get to see Kevin.

- They get to see Adam and actually get to know their half brother. (Wish I could see the look on Mary’s face when that ball is dropped)

- Maybe they will have meetings with Rowena. Who knows if Crowley was brought back to annoy his mother and argue over the throne in hell. 

- Maybe Jack will stop by once in a while to see how his adoptive dads are doing. 

...and to see all that, we only need to use our imagination. We can create those moments with our words, we can share our ideas through our own vision. Even though it feels so final, the ending is still so open. Just like Michael, the door to the Supernatural world hasn’t really closed. It’s been left open...just a crack...waiting for the right time to revisit it once again.

It started with the Winchesters. 

It ended with the Winchesters. 

Two brothers, a love that runs incredibly deep, finally being a peace now that they are done.

Mumza is the Goddess of Death AU

because she’s poggers <3

I’ve seen Kristin as the goddess of death in Dream SMP a few times, and this is my take on it. Not 100% sure who came up with the original, but if you know tell me!

Would like to clarify that this is about Dream SMP, and this has nothing to do with them in real life. I just wanted to incorporate Mumza.

So, Tommy’s dead. Dream killed him. This is how I cope.

Anyways, Kristin is Wilbur, Tommy, and Techno’s biological mother, as well as Phil’s wife. Yes, this means that the three of them are demigods. This manifests in the three of them in different ways but isn’t that isn’t the main focus of this so I won’t get into it.

So you know how it’s canon that Phil has lived for centuries? It’s ‘cause his wife is the goddess of death and she doesn’t want him to die of old age (unless he specifically asks to let him die so they can be together in the afterlife). Everyone is still on the three lives system though, she can’t influence that. Phil only has one life because he lost the other two when he was younger. She can only prevent him from dying of old age and sickness, if someone killed Phil, she would have to take him to the afterlife. Those are the rules.

That’s why both Wilbur and Tommy died. She can’t intervene when something other than natural causes kills them. She can’t revive them either, not without someone actively trying to bring them back to life with the correct materials.

You see, you only need a few things in order to bring someone back to life (so long as Kristin allows them back. if you have everything and do it all correctly, she can still keep them in the afterlife if she sees fit). You need a totem of undying, the correct instructions (Schlatt’s book), and a sacrifice. A life for a life. Someone currently living, regardless of how many lives they have, needs to sacrifice a life in order to bring someone back.

Phil doesn’t know these things. He’s never asked, never thought to ask, and Kristin hasn’t told him because she knows he will give up his last life to bring Wilbur back, and she can’t let that happen.

So when they tried to bring back Wilbur, it failed because they had no clue what they were doing. Wilbur and Kristin and Schlatt were kinda just watching, and Schlatt possessed Ghostbur for shits and giggles. It did make the goddess of death herself laugh, even if her son was insisting that it wasn’t funny and “MUMDAMMIT SCHLATT GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY BODY” which only made the situation funnier for all three of them.

Anyways, onto the plot.

Tommy’s fucking dead, hanging out in the afterlife with Kristin and Wilbur and Schlatt and he’s healing from the trauma of his death and everything that happened before it (exile, being trapped in the prison with dream, watching wilbur die, doomsday, etc.).

Anyways, Dream makes a deal with Sam and Tubbo. He’ll bring Tommy back in exchange for his freedom, and he needs a totem and someone to give up a life to do it.

At first Tubbo tries to be the sacrifice, but Sam refuses, saying that what happened to Tommy was his fault, and that the least he could do was give up one of his lives to bring him back. Plus, Sam has lives to spare. Tubbo doesn’t. Tommy would never forgive Tubbo for sacrificing himself to bring him back.

Anyway, so they reluctantly agree to the deal, bringing the totem (acquired from Technoblade via a hefty price, because they haven’t told anyone else the plan) to Dream in his prison cell so they can do the resurrection there. Originally, that was the last place that they wanted to do it. The last thing they needed was Tommy to come back and immediately think he was trapped again. But they didn’t trust Dream to run off with the totem and the book the moment they step outside, so they were forced to do it in the cell.

So they start to follow the instructions in the book, and everything’s going as planned at first. But instead of Tommy coming back when Sam gives the life, Kristin appears. In full goddess garb, exactly as depicted in Schlatt’s book.

Dream, for one in his fucking life, his petrified. Because that’s the goddess of death, why is she here? XD isn’t here to protect him oh shit!

But Tubbo knows who she is. Tommy told him all about his mum being a goddess, but Tubbo had always assumed it was an exaggeration or just a bit.

It most definitely is not a bit.

Before they can all start freaking out, she turns to Sam and gives him back his life, since it hadn’t been used. “You don’t need to do that, little Nook. You can have this, I’ll bring him back.”

Sam kind of takes it, hesitantly, watching her carefully. Tubbo doesn’t know whether he’s going to cry or laugh or collapse.

Then she turns to Dream and says: “Because the sacrifice does not need to be freely given.”

I bet you can see where this is going.

She pulls Dream’s last life out of him, kicking and screaming, and uses it to complete the resurrection, effectively bringing Tommy back from the dead.

“Dream was sacrificed by Mumza in order to revive TommyInnit” appears in the chat.

There’s a sobbing reunion, and a fucking dead body on the floor, but Tommy’s back and he’s alive again. Yay!

But Kristin isn’t done yet, she beckons them to follow her, and she goes to track down Phil and Techno.

Phil and Techno are silently sweating, having seen the message in the chat and knowing things are about to go down. Mumza is pissed. Even though they know that she would never hurt them, she’s still terrifying when she’s angry.

They eventually make it to Techno’s cabin, where Phil and Techno are waiting for them. There’s a tense few moments of silence as Phil and Techno stare at Kristin and the newly revived Tommy, before she speaks.

“Phil, dear, I’m going to need that totem around your neck.”

Phil gives it to her without complaint, trying to apologize for not protecting Wilbur and Tommy like he’d promised to, but Kristin is having none of it. She turns away from him and speaks to Techno next.

“I do apologize for this, but think of it as punishment for trying to kill your brother on multiple occasions.”

She takes one of Techno’s lives, who doesn’t fight her like Dream had. He lets it happen, because you don’t piss of Mumza more than you already have.

Kristin uses the life and the totem to bring back Wilbur, who is very confused but mostly happy to see Tommy again considering from his perspective Tommy just vanished without warning after Kristin left the afterlife.

Anyways, don’t know how this will end, but Wilbur and Tommy are back alive. Dream’s dead, the fucker. Maybe Schlatt gets revived by Connor making a deal with Kristin at some point? Redeemed Schlatt though, because I imagine Wilbur, Tommy, and Schlatt had plenty of time to work through their shit.

Thank you so much to my wonderful friend Eci for their help with this idea! I was brainrotting to them about this and they helped me flesh it out a bit more. Go follow them, they make banger works! @ecinue-unicorn
