A Drop in the Ocean

Discord 30 Minute Gift Exchange for @mutemelody. | Prompt: Rin, hidden, red.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“Remind me again,” Rin asks, with a heavy sigh, “Why we had to enter this cavern? All the ‘Beware’ signs really don’t instill confidence.”

“The map has been leading us here all along,” Obito insists, waving the weathered parchment around. Rin doesn’t bother to tell him it’s upside down.

Behind them, rowing the small dingy they have managed to squeeze into the narrow line of the rocks, Kakashi drawls, “Well, if a pirate wrote it down, then of course they had to have good intentions.”

“We’re pirates,” Rin points out.

“We are seafarers nobly rebelling against the crown,” Obito says, with grandeur.

Rin snorts. “I’d feel nobler if the walls of this cavern didn’t have so much dry blood.”

It doesn’t take the wealth of Rin’s medical knowledge to know that is a bad idea. It had been a bad idea when Kakashi had found the map, and when Rin had decided to hold it by a candle to reveal its hidden markings, and when Obito had talked the two of them into seeing the journey through. But they are a team, so any bad idea they have is one that they all share.

“There’s something in the water,” Obito says suddenly. His hand points down to a glowing light beneath the surface.

“It might not be friendly,” Kakashi warns. “We should—”

But it is too late. Whatever is in the water has already spotted them. It comes rushing at them, right towards to middle of the boat, right at Rin. It jumps out of the water, and when Rin expects an impact on her chest, instead, it passes straight through her.

What is stranger, however, is that seconds later she finds herself on a much larger ship. It is not unlike the one that they had landed at the shore just hours ago, but it is full of people she doesn’t recognize, dressed in dark clothing and armour.

“Where are we?” Kakashi asks.

“At sea,” Obito supplies, somewhat unhelpfully. Their company doesn’t seem to be happy they have found themselves on this ship either.

“Look out!” Rin shouts, as they are surrounded.

Knives and swords unlike any design Rin has ever seen before rush at them from all directions. All three of them are talented at combat, but they are outnumbered ten to one, and Kakashi had given up his sword to plunge into the cavern’s entrance.

Just as Rin is wondering what she can do to protect her friends, a warmth like a hot liquid burns through her. It stings, but it has the enemies backing away.

“Rin? Are you okay?” she hears from either side of her, but she is too busy running towards their opponents.

It is over in a matter of instants.

As she is throwing the enemy’s bent and broken swords overboard, she catches her own eye in the water, oddly still given all that has just happened. Her gaze is glowing red. She blinks, and they are back on their own boat.

Obito laughs, rubbing the back of his neck. “So, have you always been able to do that?”

20. Do you have a favorite fanfic or author? If so, tag them/post a link and share the love!

!!! An excuse to recommend my favorite fics and authors? Don’t mind if I do! Here’s a top fourteen list of some great fics and a top nine list of my favorite authors, in no particular order! Because I had way too many. (Plus I’m bound to forget a million good ones, so take these with a grain of salt!)

1. chivalry is dead by Uncrowned_King! There really wasn’t another option. After Roman disappears into the Imagination, the other Sides come to look for him, and find several Romans fighting for ownership of the land. My all-time favorite Roman angst, with some beautifully written worldbuilding and my favorite OCs ever and a plot twist that sent me reeling. With some cute DLAMP, too! What’s not to love?

2. Breathe Out by Odaigahara! This is darker than I usually read but so, so worth it! Set pre-canon, Virgil and Janus team up against the other dark sides and find their feelings go beyond platonic after a relationship of convenience becomes something more. It’s a WIP and I don’t know where it’s going yet, but I’m really intrigued and the writing is incredible!

3. The Black Hole Group Chat by Greenninjagal! Definitely my favorite comfort fic. After Logan accidentally joins a group chat and is forced into sticking around, he finds himself making his first friends--but past feelings and present conflicts threaten to tear apart the first place they’ve ever felt comfortable. So good, so funny, makes the most of the texting medium, and I always cry at the end.

4. Monsters of the Subconscious by Quarantinevibes! Ohh, everything by this author is fantastic which goes for all of them. After PoF, Janus visits the Imagination to apologize. Instead, him and Roman are sucked into the Subconscious, a wild land full of mysterious dangers. They must team up to escape, and come to terms with their feelings for each other. Some wonderfully soft Roceit, hilarious comedy and incredible action, and great emotional moments!

5. the feelings in my headspace rearranged by mutemelody! Some canon divergence for the soul. Anxiety doesn’t have a name, and after the AA arc, has to make his way through acceptance and love. Canon turns on its head, old friends make a reappearance, and through it all Anxiety has to find his own identity, nameless or not. Gosh, this fic is incredible--the writing is stunning, the plot is amazing, and it’s some of the best Virgil angst I’ve ever read.

6. There’s a Word For That by plumcat! I cannot recommend this fic enough. Roman, a Slytherin, has been pining over arguing with Patton, a Hufflepuff, since the beginning of time. But with the Quidditch match coming up, his two annoying best friends relentlessly teasing him, and Patton himself spending more and more time with Roman, Roman has to figure out what he really wants and who he wants to be. This fic is hilarious and makes me feel feelings and please, please read it.

7. (i’d never) want once from the cherry tree by ace_corvid! Prinxiety! And a Youtuber AU that really takes advantage of the medium! Virgil and Roman are two of the most popular creators on YouTube and their fans have been begging them to do a crossover episode. The collaboration goes surprisingly well, but it’s one thing to explore a relationship, and another to do it when the whole world is watching. So cute, so hilarious, has some amazing art as well, and I just highly recommend it.

8. double down on the paradigms by remrose! Here’s a lovely college AU! Logan is doing his best to pass his classes, and everything is going fine, despite his roommate Virgil’s concerns about his late study nights and compulsive behavior. Then he meets Patton, and every wall Logan’s constructed slowly begins to crumble. To show how much I love this fic, I have not stopped thinking about it, even though it’s the only one on this list I’ve only read once. It stuck with me that much and hey maybe I should reread it, hold on--

9. In a Tizzy by coconutcluster! Cute fluff, so wholesome, much love. After Logan finds out that Roman gets flustered at compliments, he enlists the other Sides to test this theory. But Roman gets upset when he thinks they’re playing a joke on him by being nice. The writing is great and it’s a fantastic pick-me-up on a bad day! Just so full of nice wonderful feelings!

10. Communication Issues by WaeRose! Analogince! The alternative title that I cut out says it all! After Logan and Virgil find Roman crying in his room, they make an effort to spend more time together as a group. But platonic feelings quickly become non-platonic, misunderstandings abound, insecurities rise, and they’ll have to learn how to communicate their feelings if those feelings could ever lead to a relationship. The writing is incredible, the second-person POV is done expertly, and the characterization is top-notch!

11. a heart he couldn’t control by codevassie! Prinxiety that tore me into a million pieces. Roman traded away his true love’s life to save his brother from a witch, but when he actually meets said true love, he begins to regret his choice. Now Virgil is trapped once again with the witch, Roman is on a rescue mission, Patton and Logan are hiding something, and Janus is definitely not who he seems. Once again, this AU hurts me, and the incredible writing makes it a gut-punch! It’s a WIP but I love where it’s going and need to catch up on it but shhh

12. Another Goddamn Hero Story by rosesisupposes! I’m a sucker for a superhero AU and this one is stellar! Logan and Virgil are a hero team, trying to subdue Patton and Roman, the most famous villain duo in the city. But nobody’s exactly who they say, everyone’s not quite sure which side is right, and past wrongs are coming back to draw new blood. It’s endgame LAMP and the romances are built perfectly! Supervillains Royality is amazing, the action is incredible, and the plot twist blew me away!

13. Hurt, and How We Grow Past It by Jinx72! Another comfort fic of mine, by one of my all-time favorite authors! After Deceit visits the Imagination and lights a fire larger than he intended, Roman is left injured while the other Sides try to put the pieces back together. Old grudges come to light, new bonds are forged, and they all fall in love slowly while all simultaneously being extremely insecure. The characterization is incredible, the writing is top-notch, and the DLAMP is heartfelt and wonderful!

14. Eucatastrophe by arealsword! I added this one last-minute because it’s incredible and deserves to be on this list! The writing is incredible, the world-building is top-notch, and the plot manages to be coherent and incredible while throwing me for a loop every other line! It creeped me the heck out, but I’d expect nothing less from the author of Pick a Side. I’m not even gonna summarize this one because that’d spoil the fun, but suffice it to say, Thomas gets kidnapped by faeries and things get interesting very fast.

And now for the authors! (I chose authors who I didn’t mention above, but all the ones I already talked about are hella good, check them out too!)

1. @/sleeplessinstarbucks. You want good losleep content? Here. You want good QPR content? Here. You want good content in general? Here! Lia has amazing hurt/comfort, beautiful writing, and stellar characterization. I binge their writing every time I get bored. If you want your heart to be warmed, this is where to go!

2. @/theeternalspace. Okay, so Acantha is the Royal of Long Fics. Every one of theirs is a winner! They’re an expert at plotting and characterization, and I’ve been sucked into every one of their many AUs. Plus their writing is godly! And did I mention there are so many chapter fics on their Ao3? If you want a bunch of bingeable emotional rollercoasters, head on over here!

3. @/whenisitenoughtrees. Cat...how. How do you do it. See, Cat writes the best one shots. Their writing is incredible and they’ve written some of my all-time favorite short fics! Their characterization is always on point, and their dialogue always lands, and did I mention their writing is just so deliciously readable--you feel like they chose every word carefully to make it pack as much of a punch as possible. If you want some incredible one shots, this is your writer!

4. @/tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors. I mean, I couldn’t not include Violet. LAOFT is still my favorite series of all time and deserves all the attention it’s got! They’re the expert at well-done short fics that serve a longer narrative, giving everything an almost episodic structure. Plus, their fluff is the fluffiest and the best, and their angst hurts me deep within my soul, so they’re double-powerful! If you want standalone fics or a complex, emotional series, check them out!

5. @/impatentpending. Elena, our writing god, our Deity, which all other writers must respect. Every fic of hers is top-tier, from short to long, and she’s unrivaled at plotting and worldbuilding! You’ll get sucked in to every world and story she creates, and she’s an expert on letting the stories linger. I’m still thinking about Powerless and Monster and it’s been almost a year. If you want expertly crafted stories that leave you in emotional pieces, she’s got them.

6. @/ironwoman359. A classic choice here! She’s got it all--incredible one shots, great characterization, and a big enough master list for basically any ship to be found! She also writes some of the best hurt/comfort in the genre, so if you’re a fan of bad things that lead to good endings, there’s always something to read. If you want a large catalog of fantastic stories, she’s your gal!

7. @/caffeinatedcryptid. You may have seen El’s fantastic art on tumblr, but have you read their incredible stories? If not, you’re missing out! They’ve got several spectacular one shots already written, and each one of them broke me in their own special way. Their writing style is incredible and their characterization is fantastic. If you want longer one shots with well-thought-through plots, head over there!

8. @/astronomical-bagel. Astro, our Lord of Roman Angst, always ready to punch me in the gut with feelings! Act One, Scene Three still hurts me to this day. They’re always ready to turn anything into Roman angst (or any angst, check HDABST) but they’ve got some comfort in there as well! A little bit. Somewhat. Yeah. If you want to be emotionally destroyed, you know who to call.

9. @/green-writes-sanderssides. Green’s fics were some of the first I ever read in this fandom, and they’ve stuck with me to this day! They're an expert at the fluff-angst balance and causing all sorts of Emotions. They’re currently working on an incomplete LAMP fic that just completes me. But I digress. Green is spectacular! They’ve got wonderful canon-verse fics that explore the characters and their relationships expertly. If you want amazing fics with fantastic characterization in-canon, stop by!

And that’s all of them! Again, there are tons more I didn’t get to mention, but these are just a few I love! Congrats if you read all the way to the bottom, I know it was a lot--I just get really excited when I can compliment my favorite writers! Anyway, check them out if you want, I highly encourage it!

Hey! I haven’t read lucifer fics in forever, but since you and tarysande recently updated, i started looking for more but am having a hard time finding good ones that i haven’t read before. Do you have any recs? Preferably none post season 4

aw, well, glad to welcome you back, anon! Let me see what I can dig up for you.

Castaway. by ariaadagio // @ariaadagio // M 26/26

Summary:

The Devil is real. A sentence Chloe Decker never believed until Lucifer Morningstar burned out her skepticism with his hellfire eyes. It's a "Hell" of a reality shift, but Chloe realizes she may not have time for gradual acceptance when she discovers that one of the bodies in her most recent murder investigation isn't human. Worse still, the next target might be Lucifer. A story that begs the question: who prays for Satan? [Post-S3 finale continuation. Deckerstar.]

(If you haven’t read any of aria’s works yet, I high-key recommend anything and everything.)

a study in humanity (series) by mutememelody // @mutemelody // T 3/3 works

Lucifer needed to break the pattern, so he does the one thing no one would expect. This, of course, sets off its own series of events. Canon divergent after Season 2 Episode 5: "The Weaponizer".

(a fav series of mine and I wish to death for like twelve more stories in the series)

Caging the Devil by Hircine_Taoist // M 54/54

Summary:

Instead of flying away with Chloe, the bullets, and thus the cards, fall differently for Lucifer and the Detective. Trapped and fearing for the Detective's life, the Devil threatens to do all he can to send Hell to Cain. Pierce realizes his best chance of living out the rest of his days is to keep Lucifer imprisoned and vulnerable. While their friends desperately search for them, Cain seeks to keep the two locked away. Forever.

Keeping a clever detective and the Devil caged, however, is no easy feat. Meanwhile, Chloe and Lucifer are more vulnerable than ever, and forced to face some uncomfortable truths about their relationship while still trying to assure they both survive.

(intense, Cain-is-actually-terrifying whump filled story.)

One for Fantasies by LuckyDragon // @luckydragon10 // T 1/1

Summary:

Chloe Decker had never been one for make-believe.

(a sweet and soft and tender little one-shot. I love the imagery.)

Patrick the Bartender Is Not Paid Enough For This Shit by Liannabob // E 1/1

Summary:

Alternate title - "Throwing things off a balcony doesn't make them vanish."

The story runs parallel to season 1 (sort of between-the-scenes) following Patrick the bartender and exploring what it might be like to work at Lux.

(a HILARIOUS outsider pov fic. Liannabob is superb at them, check out Ella Enlighted and Observing Lucifer, too!)

De Noite Ardo by RushAndTomatoJuice // M 1/1

Summary:

“Lucifer.” Her voice sounded as choked as his had only minutes ago. He was compelled to raise his eyes to meet hers, and he did so warily.

One look at her and he knew they were doomed. He knew he’d always been weak, especially when it came to his desires. But he was enthralled with the way her eyes turned the darkest of blues in the moonlight, and this yearning he felt inside him overflowed and reached out to her. Now, he could only hope she’d forgive him in the morning.

(Friends with Benefits AU. Absolutely Wonderful)

faith is half the battle (series) by alecto // @alectoperdita // T-M 3/? works

Summary:

Ironically, accepting Lucifer is the easiest part of the long and messy fallout following Pierce's death.

(one of my fav post s3 fics)

Time Heals All Wounds by NotOneLine // @notonelineff // T 3/3

Summary:

Following the events of the season 3 finale, Chloe Decker is left stunned and devastated.

But there's no time to mourn the life she once knew.

Not when her partner needs her.

(this fic has a some imagery that just Sticks with Me, you know? that good hurt/comfort)

like once in a life by redledgers // @buckysleftarm T 1/1

Summary:

When the kaiju invade Los Angeles, Chloe Decker joins the resistance.

(Pacific Rim AU, Hell yeah)

Devils, Detectives, and Questionable Decisions (series) by whopooh // @whopooh // G-M 4/? works

Summary: Phryne Fisher meets the devil - or, Lucifer meets the Honourable Miss Fisher.

(Lovely crossover with Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. The characterization is on point and so, so lovely)

AND i KNOW you said no post S4 Fics, but you have to try this one, I am so Desperately in Love with It and it doesn’t focus on it. (or, if you must, you can skip the last three chapters, but it would make me sad)

The Fool You Need by Brokenjaw (Vrael) // @brokenjaw // G 6/6

Summary:

Lucifer hides his daemon. She is, by all accounts, embarrassing.

(hands down one of the best daemon AUs I’ve ever read. the SYMBOLISM the EMOTION. one day I will print this fic out and bind it in leather so I will have it with me always)

Happy Reading, anon! I hope there are some on this list that you have’t read before.

My @sloaners' Disastrous Discord's Seasonal Summer Santa Solstice Siesta Fiesta (or SSSSSFiesta) gift for @mutemelody. (There is more under the cut)

(I'm not a good storyteller, but I like to think this is an AU where Rin and Kakashi had some help against the Kiri nin, and Isobu was somewhat stabilized. Obito didn't get to escape, because Rin's life wasn't in enough danger. Madara tried to put the image of her dead in his mind though, but it didn't awaken Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan, so he shoved the boy aside or something. And sometime later, Konoha notices some odd activity underground, near a certain location, and several ninja are sent to investigate.)

All at Sea

Don't give up until the very end. (Third Data Book) | Discord 30 Minute Gift Exchange for @mutemelody. | Prompt: Kushina, surprise.

When Kushina wakes up, the first thing she notices is that her abdomen hurts like hell. Which, she suppose, is to be expected, when someone has given birth, had a bijuu ripped out of them, and been impaled by a giant claw in the span of less than an hour. Still, she'd been expecting better, given her new location.

“The afterlife is awful,” Kushina announces, to no one in particular, curled up on an unfamiliar beach.

She's by the water, at least. It's a strange comfort, after years of being in Konoha, whose shinobi organized so far from the coast. The salted breeze and the warm sand beneath her toes remind her of Uzushio.

She looks at the water, and wonders if she'll be able to see Naruto from here. Or what 'here' is. In all of her grandfather's stories, the afterlife had been a place of great comfort and meeting with kin. Yet she's in pain, there's sand making its way into the creases of her elbows and knees, and she's alone.

Well, she's never been one to stand idly by. “I'm going to give whoever runs this place a piece of my mind, 'ttebane,” she says, rising unsteadily to her feet.

She walks to the edge of the beach, where the sand fades into sparse grass and rocks. She didn’t bring shoes with her, but compared to the other aches she has, the hot stones beneath her feet are barely worth notice. A practice she's used to, really. She already misses Minato, who would walk beside her with her shoes in one of his hands, holding onto her with the other.

“Kushina,” she hears faintly in Minato's voice, and wonders if this place is meant to echo her thoughts. Just in case, she thinks expletives.

As she walks forward, she hears it again. “Kushina,” louder and clearer. She turns.

“Minato?” she asks, dumbfounded, as she spots her husband running across the beach.

“Kushina,” he says a third time, barrelling into her and almost sending them careening into the ground. “You're here. How are you here? I didn't— I should be with the Shinigami, and you should be in the Pure Lands.”

“I don't understand,” Kushina says, reaching for his face and frowning. “Then where are we? In the belly of the Shinigami, or the afterlife?”

“Neither,” says a third voice, startling them both.

Kushina spins to find a familiar face, younger than she has ever seen it. “My name is Uzumaki Mito,” says the woman, for Minato's benefit. “And you are not dead.”
