Ngl, I'm usually not one for magical AU's in a non-magical universe/fandom but holy crap this was so good.

Practical Magic is one of my fave movies (and books) and this just hit that sweet spot for me:

I just...whoa...I almost wish I hadn't finished at the speed of light. So good and so well-written. I don't even have the accurate words to describe the feelings I had reading this but wow. Check it out here by @littlespooneven if you're interested.

I’m going to Twist and Shout &  drink Ninety One Whiskeys on The Path Of Fireflies, So Says the Sword

I just finished The Path Of Fireflies and holy crap, the tears would not stop rolling out. Another beautifully written fic, the talent these authors have and how on point they get Dean and Cas while introducing my new personal favorite headcanons for this couple...

I just read these these two one shots (His Heart and His Soul) back to back and I am just:

So beautifully written and everything I would have hoped for. Eddie is just *chef's kiss* and Buck, oh Buck. And Hen. And Chim. And that first kiss. And everything that's said. And the love. The love. I...

Just absolutely fantastic. Pure perfection. Thank you, @onelonelytortillachip_. Thank you.

Another wonderfully written story by @onelonelytortillachip. I'm not going to lie, I was practically bursting into sobs every other line the first few chapters but wow. This was so well thought out and executed. I need more Buddie and rancher!Buck in my life.

And horses always get me, not even gonna lie here, but Buck with horses...Buck...Eddie...horses...angst...love...well written OC's...

And the way they write how Buck and Eddie eventually get together and the way they give us a glimpse inside Eddie's head...

*whispers to author* Psst, can we get a sequel where Eddie and Christopher accompany Buck to Wyoming? Pretty please? I need to see more of rancher!Buck, Eddie in a cowboy hat, and the Buckley-Diaz family around horses. Pleeeease...

I absolutely adore this story. Added to my favorites for sure!!! Go give it a read on AO3.

I need about Ninety One Whiskeys right now

I just finished reading Ninety One Whiskey by @cuddlebabies and:

One of the absolute best fics I’ve ever read in my life.

And now this image will forever hit different from now on (I may or may not be in love with Sergeant Dean Winchester for the rest of my life, thanks author, you’ve ruined me! No seriously, thank you):

And not going to lie, this is totally how I saw Cas in my head the entire time (give me that peach fuzz!):

I’m still in shock. Like, this is better than most published books that I’ve read today (I said what I said). So if I can now get this story in book, movie, and miniseries form, that would be great.

Edit: Here is the link for anyone who wants to read

[what-do-1000-swords-look-like]

I have to talk about this one shot right here: Bittersweet Triumph by @marvelingjules. Tbf it's part of a whole amazing series called "The Evolution Of Buddie" (which you should definitely check out if you get the chance), but I absolutely made the mistake of reading this before bed last night.

By the time I was done reading it, I was angry, ready to storm over to Eddie's fictional house, pull Ramon and Helena out by their ears, give Eddie a huge bear hug while also making sure he also had his boys within reach, and I was anxious as hell. I didn't expect this one shot to affect me so deeply (not that it isn't amazingly written) but I didn't actually expect it to get me so worked up. I felt like a huge boulder was sitting on my chest, my brain was going 1000 miles an hour, I had a lot of nervous energy, and I needed to ground myself more than once. I barely got any sleep and I was dragging all day. This might sound like a negative reaction or not an urge for people to check this one shot (or series) out at all but I promise you it's just the opposite.

This only affected me so deeply because of the way the writer shows you these horrifying interactions between Eddie and his parents, and then his parents, Christopher, and Eddie. They literally just come in and seek to tear down everything Eddie is by whatever means necessary. And you see how Eddie struggles, how he went from a happy, independent, gaining-more-confidence-as-a-father, and free man to anxious, insecure, feeling very much alone, fearful, unhappy, trapped, and never-given-a-break-from-the-oppressive-atmosphere-these-two-bring-into-his-house, and feeling-like-a-constant-failure man. All within a super fast time frame. It broke my heart to watch them work and to see just how it affected him, Chris, and Buck by extension. But it affected me deeply personally as well because I knew exactly how Eddie felt. That's how good this one shot (is that the correct term when in series btw?) is and how well the writer handled each part of this situation, that I was able to step into Eddie's mind and experience this horrible moment in time with him. It was all legit, real as could be, and horrifyingly accurate.

If you think it's going to affect you negatively at all, please don't read it. Self-care is absolutely essential if you think it will make you upset or anxious in any way (like it did me). I myself will not be going back for a reread for a bit lol (but I will be going back!). It hit a bit too close to home for me personally. But that doesn't mean it isn't one of my new favorites. Yes, this is a Buddie series but this one shot was all about Eddie for me and a glimpse into just how bad things could get should Ramon and Helena continue their manipulation tactics and tearing down of their son verbally and emotionally full-time in LA, leaving Eddie with no escape. I know this is an interpretation of how Ramon and Helena could act, but to me, it's not that far off base. I still think back to "don't drag him down with you" and the attempted manipulation in 2x18 where Ramon and Helena work as a team to take Eddie on (while Helena is nice to him at first in order to soften him up), "I know you love your son and that is why I know you're going to do the right thing", and "why doesn't Daddy go be a hero in the kitchen and find a big old juice box?" This author literally took those building blocks, these hints, and weaved them into a truly horrifying (imho) but brilliant glimpse into what could be if we had been given more time with that dynamic between parents and son. Had Christopher stayed with Ramon and Helena. I think it's very possible the way it played out in this one shot.

So long story short, I just felt compelled to recommend it because let's face it, regardless of the subject matter or your own personal experiences, if something affects you so strongly whether it be a written work or a piece of media, that means the creator is doing something right. (and this author absolutely is!)

So please, if you like, please please go check it out (and the series!).

Am I really rereading The Path Of Fireflies by @museaway​ again, knowing full well that I’ll be a bawling mess 3/4 of the way thru?

You’re goddamn right I am

[what-do-1000-swords-look-like]

So I have resurfaced from this wonderfully written fic. A lot of angst (which I love), and of course a lot of miscommunication along the way between my two favorite idiots in love. But also a lot of softness, a lot of love, and a lot of incredibly well told story. 

So damn good. When I tell you I got that fluttery feeling in my chest and that gut clench during certain parts, pure terror during some, and then the light happy feeling during others... This was freaking amazing. Another added to the faves library for me and my life is just that bit more ruined by this pairing and all of their beautiful potential. 

If you’re interested, check it out here. Evangelist, a brilliant AU by @valleydean​!
