#maybe i'll get back into it while i'm waiting for the ghosts christmas special

[perexcri]

Leah. Leah I’m shaking and I am literally crying rn. I’m so happy for them. I know they’re not real, but they got their happy ending. They deserve it and the way you’ve written it is so soft and lovely and I’m so. Emotional over this ex-prince-knight and his not-a-prince-consort (also Screaming over that ilu ilu iludndkfkdkcke).

Their vows. Their vows are going to live rent free in my mind forever. “It has been a lovely thing to grow together, and I look forward to doing so until we are both taken back into the arms of the universe, where we will surely meet again.” This is so lovely and wonderful and if real life romance isn’t a quarter as lovely as Mike saying this to his love, then what even is the Point. Just.

As I’ve said in the past, I’ll say again. Magic with words. You craft with words the way Will crafts with starlight.

And if you ever do decide to publish this as a novel I’ll be there on opening day proud and buying a copy and saying I knew you when. But even if you never do, I’m so happy I got to experience this and fall in love with this story and just.

You are a wonderful writer. I don’t know how else to say it😭💕 I can’t wait to see where you go next🥰

Happy Friday!!

YES!! they got their happy ending!! i was committed to that angst with a happy ending tag!! it took them a while to get there, but they finally did, and i'm happy with how it turned out. like you said, it was very soft, which is exactly what i was going for. i wanted only healing and light for them, and i feel like that's what they've been left with :]

MIKE'S VOW LINE okay okay okay. i think closer to christmas i did one of those ask games for my fics and you submitted some questions and one of them was for what my favorite line from this fic was. AND THAT WAS THE LINE!! i couldn't say it in the ask obviously because i didn't want to spoil it, but that was THEE line. i honestly think some kind of lovesick ghost possessed me when i wrote it because after i typed it out i kinda just stared at my screen muttering "where the hell did THAT come from??" regardless of how it ended up there, i'm glad they got to say such lovely things to each other T_T

i am kicking my feet and sticking your "you craft with words the way Will crafts with starlight" compliment in the special little box i keep in my head for keeping my spirits up 🥺 thank you Veeeeee!!

if something ever does possess me to work on this more as an original idea and turn it into something that can be published and not shot down by copyright law (unless i want my next story to be That One Time The Duffer Bros Sued Me), you'll be first in line to get a copy 😌 tbh i'll personally hunt down every person who left a kudos and shove a copy under their doors. like i said, this fic is very special and dear to my heart, so it makes me happy that people have accepted it with open arms T_T

as far as other ideas: um. so i'm working on Mike pov scenes for this fic because i just think he's neat, and then we're swinging violently between "right person wrong time" angst and flirty Will. so. it's any guess what'll end up finished and posted next 😩

and maybe some day i'll actually finish proofreading that Jonathan one shot right 🙃a girl can dream

thank you so much Vee!! this fic literally wouldn't be finished without your encouragement, so thank youuuu!! i am wishing you a lovely weekend!! :] 💜💜💜

#ask #vee my beloved <3

the ghosts watching downton abbey headcanons because i'm thinking about that for some reason

initially it was put on by mike, who was left home alone one night. he thought fanny would like it.

the ghosts who were actually in the room at the time were the captain and humphrey, who quickly got very invested.

the captain eventually went to get fanny, but only when humphrey told him he should, since that's what mike wanted in the first place.

fanny and the captain get VERY invested. humphrey is just happy to be spending time with someone and to have a means of entertainment he doesn't have to provide himself.

fanny's favourite characters are mary and violet. the captain points out that mary is unkind; fanny disagrees.

the captain's favourite of the daughters is sybil.

he also develops a habit of acting HELLA weird about thomas barrow. he claims not to like him but he talks way too much about him for that to be true and he's also adopted a lot of barrow's mannerisms and now everyone is giving the cap the side eye.

humphrey likes edith and gets very invested in her struggles and how things never seem to go well for her for very long.

gradually more ghosts join in on the weekly downton abbey watches. by this point, we have the captain, humphrey, fanny, kitty, mary, and thomas.

while fanny pretends to be Quite Disappointed Indeed in sybil, she secretly loves her and supports her relationship with branson (even if he is an irish and below her and a socialist, all things which make fanny clutch her metaphorical pearls), and she's absolutely devastated when sybil dies.

thomas is also heartbroken by lady sybil's demise and decides to compose his own fanfiction. i mean poem.

kitty is also devastated. she had been so happy for lady sybil to have her baby, and she can't understand how something so awful could happen.

mary tries to console her, but ends up saying something like "my sister leah did die in such a way, and the priest did say she had been damned by god and the child she bore be a demon" and everyone would look at her like ".....bruh. you okay?"

the tension would be broken by robin telling everyone that he saw his sister get eaten by a bear, thus also ending the robin-and-his-sister saga (at least for a little while).

by the end of the series, all the ghosts (even a couple of the plague ghosts... well, pretty much just the girls and nigel, and sometimes mick) are watching.

the plague ghosts don't quite understand all the details, but they enjoy the Drama.

after it ends, there's a mix of disappointment and contentment. fanny and the captain are happy to move on, back to their regular programmes.

until alison tells them there's also a movie, if they want to see that as well.

everyone piles up in the common area one more time for a movie night. a lot of them generally agree it's not as good as the series, but it's still fun.

the captain gets really excited when they mention the king and queen coming to visit, but quickly gets wrapped up in the thomas barrow subplot. again with several others giving him the side eye, waiting for him to Say Something.

robin finally speaks. he doesn't understand why barrow would have to hide that he likes men and why he would get in trouble for it. "in my day, you like someone, you do it. doesn't matter if they have the same parts as you." the cap makes a face and mutters something unintelligible but doesn't say much else. robin sits down again, rolling his eyes because he had been TRYING to get the captain to talk.

fanny, kitty, and thomas are once again in tears when violet tells mary she's going to die soon and essentially passes the torch over to her.

the movie ends and everyone sort of goes about their business.

BUT NOT FOR LONG, because a few days later fanny asks alison if she can put downton abbey on the tv again for her from the beginning.

#i was 12 when downton abbey started airing #my mother and grandmother watched it #and at first i was like 'ohhh it's so BORING' #but eventually i got invested #i still think about it frequently #(as you can probably tell from this post) #and i've been tempted to do a rewatch #i haven't yet #but the desire is there #maybe i'll get back into it while i'm waiting for the ghosts christmas special #or maybe i'll just rewatch ghosts and yonderland and bill and hh for the billionth time #who knows

[sourwolfstories]

Hi! I know you're probably slammed with requests but i was wondering if you could rec some long fics without smut or skipable unimportant smut scenes? I'm sex repulsed and it's surprising difficult to find fics that don't make me uncomfortable

Okay so these are all at least 20 or 30 thousand words long each and are all either rated general audience or teen and up and I made sure to go through all of them so they shouldn’t have any smut or sex but if I did miss anything please let me know. Hope you enjoy!

Ghosts In The Suburbs by KaytiKazoo

Stiles gets cursed by a witch and can see dead people.

Here’s to the Static by matildajones

Stiles spends most of his college break in a coffee house where he stares after Derek Hale. For some reason, Stiles is unaware of the fact he’s quite the musician, and Derek amuses himself at Stiles’ obliviousness.

Cupboard Love by mklutz

He’s carefully balancing the sandwiches and the two biggest tupperware containers he could find that both had functioning lids when the front door opens and he almost drops everything right there in front of the stupid fountain.

If that’s Derek Hale, he’s definitely not a mountain man.

Strangers Like Me by Alphaboner

“Stay back! Don’t come..don’t come any closer! Please don’t! Wh..what are you doing?” he let out a little laugh when Derek started to play with his toes “Ah-haha, no, please, don’t, that tickles!” Derek’s hand traveled from Stiles’ toes to his leg “No, get off, get off!” …to his belt “GET OFF!” he kicked Derek in the face, leaving him confused and aching, looking at Stiles with a scowl.

Get Back Up by Hepzheba

After taking the blame for his so-called friend Jackson and his stupid pot, Stiles is forced to work for the Hales at their horse ranch the summer before his last year in high school. At first he absolutely hates it but he comes to realize that there is actually is something fun about this ranch thing and that horses are more likable and complicated than he’d previously thought. He also comes to realize that it’s not only the horses that are interesting; there’s also Derek Hale.

Scowl and Sarcasm by dr_girlfriend

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single alpha in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a mate.

Whether or not Derek Hale felt that way was hardly a concern to the neighborhood — the very fact of his arrival was enough that the surrounding families seemed to consider him the rightful property of one or another of their eligible sons and daughters. That was, of course, before they met the man.

Only You, Sterek by im2old4thisotp

Derek gets the name of his soulmate off a Ouija board when he is ten. He’s obsessed with finding them, but then his life irrevocably changes. He erases the name from his life and determines to live free of those stupid words, “fate” and “destiny”.

But on the eve of his wedding, he gets a phone call that will change the course of his life forever, and show him that maybe destiny does have a hold on him, after all.

Or, the Sterek rewrite of the movie “Only You” that you never knew you wanted.

sorry about the elbows, sorry we lived here. by dreamer_of_dreams

“You’re doing it again, Derek. You’re running away. I know, alright? I’ve always known… You looked at him the way I wished you’d look at me. You came close some days, when you’re folding my tank tops and we’re talking about small, insignificant things. And I thought that was enough for a while. But it was plain to see, you were sitting around, waiting for him to call you home. He never did and you just carried on.”

“I wasn’t really waiting for him to call. I knew he wouldn’t. I don’t know how you got that impression.”

“Hmmm…Maybe because when we both thought you were dying, I leant over and kissed you… and you whispered his name.”

Just the Same by ericaismeg

Something is seriously up with the captain of the lacrosse team. There’s just no way Derek Hale is human.***“I was wondering if you’re even human. You move so quickly. I mean, it’s ridiculously fast. No human should be able to move that fast, y'know? It’s unfair for us. I mean, it’s obvious you work out, and I don’t, so that could be why, but like…I was just wondering if you were human, that’s all.”

“Stop talking, Stilinski, or I'll—”

“Put me on the bench all season?” Stiles asks knowing full well that Derek Hale can’t threaten him with shit.

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Halevetica

What if all the crushes you ever had found out how you felt about them… all at once?

Stiles Stilinski keeps his love letters in a box his mother gave him. They aren’t love letters that anyone else wrote for him; these are ones he’s written. One for every boy he’s ever loved-five in all. When he writes, he pours out his heart and soul and says all the things he would never say in real life, because his letters are for his eyes only. Until the day his secret letters are mailed, and suddenly, Stiles’ love life goes from imaginary to out of control.

If I Followed You Home by tryslora

Stiles is living on his own in New York when he sees the unthinkable: one woman pushes another onto the tracks just before a subway comes. With Scott not moving in for several days, he is on his own with his grief and horror, and he decides to find closure by attending the dead woman’s funeral where he discovers that (1) the guy he’s been crushing on is the dead woman’s brother, and (2) her family somewhat adopts him, and (3) the woman who killed her might just want to kill him now. Life just got complicated.

Notes:

Wolf Pack: Beacon Original by Beerwolves, fearfrost1211

When his father landed the Deputy Chief of police position in Beacon Hills, Stiles moved to his new town gladly, embracing the chance of a fresh start. What he didn’t expect was to find himself hopelessly drawn to the gruff Vice President of the local motorcycle gang, the Wolf Pack.Derek Hale, resident bad boy of Beacon Hills, spent his time helping his sister lead the Wolf Pack and working on motorcycles at his family’s automotive garage. Then, one hot summer afternoon a bright-eyed boy walked into his life and turned his world upside down.

There’s No Escape for the Potato Man by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)

“Who is this? Where’s Erica?”

“Wrong number, asshole!”

“Stop calling me an asshole,” the man on the other end snapped aggressively.

Stiles could understand. He’d be pretty aggressive too if he’d murdered someone and texted a wrong number to ask for help burying the body. This guy obviously failed How To Be a Serial Killer 101.

“What kind of idiot thinks I murdered someone?”

“The kind of idiot who got your text messages, you fucking dumbass!” he retorted hotly. “Maybe double check your contacts before sending a random stranger details on your nefarious plans to dispose of a freshly cut up body!”

“What?!” the guy on the other end demanded, crossed between horrendously confused and livid.

home isn’t a place by Spikedluv

Ithaca, New York is known as a sanctuary within the supernatural community, and Cornell University is where creatures such as Kitsune and Selkies can safely attend college. Though Stiles doesn’t think he’s anything special (despite having a ‘spark’, whatever that is), he attends on Satomi’s recommendation; he wants to learn everything he can about the supernatural world so he can return to Beacon Hills and help Scott.

The last person Stiles expects to run into at Cornell is Derek Hale. Derek is gruff and grumpy, but despite that Stiles is drawn to him. When someone begins murdering supernatural students Laura Hale takes Stiles under her wing. Between attending class, hanging out with Kira, adopting a dog, and keeping score for the baseball team, Stiles investigates the deaths to figure out who’s killing his fellow students before he ends up a victim himself.

Through it all, Stiles learns the real meaning of ‘home’.

SuperWing, Stucky and SlaDick, Oh My! by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)

“Well,” Nightwing said with an awkward laugh, “this is embarrassing. You are definitely not the Superman I was expecting.”

“You mean I almost missed out on having Nightwing leap into my waiting arms?” Derek asked teasingly. He couldn’t help it, the guy was adorable, and while he wasn’t exactly light, he already knew it was all muscle. This guy definitely worked out.

Nightwing let out a loud, boisterous laugh that had people around them turn to look, but he just grinned down at Derek before speaking.

“In that case, didn’t mean to keep you waiting.” He waggled his eyebrows and Derek let out a small huff of a laugh. “I should probably, uh—get down.”

“Probably.”

Thanks for Thumper, But I Prefer Cheeseburgers by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)

The wolf’s head whipped around so fast, Stiles felt like he was watching The Exorcist.

Stiles wondered if he could just stand still enough to make the wolf think he was a tree. A very bright red and jean-clad tree. He doubted it, but one could hope.

He knew it was a lost cause when the wolf turned fully, lips pulled back from its sharp teeth—so very sharp, good fucking Lord!—and began walking towards Stiles.

“I didn’t see anything!” Stiles shouted, both hands out in front of himself and sweat instantly breaking out across his skin. “I swear to you! I didn’t see anything! I didn’t see anything! I won’t tell anyone! I won’t! I’ll keep this to myself, until the day I die! I promise! I promise!”

An Unexpected Familiar by BabyWeWillRise

Homework over break sucks, right? Harris is at it again with making Stiles’ life horrible by giving him an essay over Christmas break and Stiles could not be anymore displeased.

Except…this stupid assignment leads him to something he didn’t think he was missing.

Or…

After his mother died when he was eight, Stiles (and his father) ran away from reality without looking back.

Now, ten years later, when the eighteen year old runs into a familiar face, he’s thrown back into a life he had completely forgotten about and is welcomed with open and loving arms.

To say he’s freaking out would be an understatement.
