Fanfic Friday Saturday

Rule: share a fic you wrote that you’re proud of! (Art/moodboards are optional)

Hope for the Homeless

I wrote this fic for the OQ Advent Calendar one year, and the funny thing is, it's not even the fic I originally intended to write. I had my planned entry written, then suddenly had the idea for Hope for the Homeless in my kitchen one day... And then proceeded to write it in about 2 days, just in time for the deadline (the first and only time I've done that for a longer fic).

I've seen this game all over the RWRB fandom, so I'm going to spread it to the OQ fandom!

masc (ish) emma sq recs:

[ seeeee- idk what masc means to you personally. and as a masc (ish) gay myself, i find ems to be just that in most fics out there. these are just a finessed collection of my faves. all of it on AO3. :) ]

emma swan, professional cuddler - misscanteloupe (9chap/39k words/so much fluff) it starts with emma fixing the door.

even though our love is doomed - whistle_silver (oneshot/24k words/lots of music/literally tagged: everything is beautiful and nothing hurts) very emma gentlewoman vibes also simply just a must-read woops

so does that make us both the other woman? - coalitiongirl (16chap/97k words/its both tender and emotionally chaotic/cs and oq are a thing/lots of angst) nothing specifically masc about it other than emma just being herself.

you again - followthatconvoy (24chap/80k words/80s highschool AU/so much drama/fluff and humor) ems is canonically a masc lesbian. like its a whole thing. im making this into a physical book actually.

HAVE FUN!

ahhhh thank you so much! reading these all immediately :)

Yes, they are all Outlaw Queen. I have written for other fandoms but these are still my favorites.

The Nanny: Work in progress. Regina becomes a nanny to millionaire and single father Robin, the two learning to love again in the process. One of my longest stories with many twists and turns, including one of my bravest (and darkest) writing choice. [Warning for sexual assault]

All That is Me: Complete. An Outlander AU where Regina gets lost in Sherwood Forest and ends up in the Enchanted Forest, crossing paths with the legendary Robin Hood. My first major OQ AU story and the one that made my name in the fandom. [Note: there is a sequel which is complete and a third entry which is still in progress]

Reunited at Last: Work in progress. When a young girl named Diana tells Regina that she is her mother, Regina starts on a journey to discover the truth about her life and her family. Also a story about the relationship between Regina and Snow, so I get to explore that along with an alternate version of Outlaw Queen.

The Prince of Darkness: Complete. Rather than Emma, Robin takes up the dagger and becomes the Dark One to save Regina. I enjoyed getting to explore Robin's darker side, especially since the show hinted at it but never explored it.

Beyond the Call of Duty: Complete. A first season AU where Robin came over in the first curse as a paramedic who treats Regina the night of the fire in town hall. I loved seeing how Robin's presence changed Regina and the storyline. [Planned series of seven stories total - one for each season of the show.]

Also recieved from the lovely @flyinghome-againstthewind

Surprisingly I didn't have as hard of a time with this as I thought I would.

Through Hell and Highwater (OQ) - I love this fic as a whole and it is my favourite thing I have written, there is a scene in it that is my all time favourite thing I have ever written and probably will ever write.

The Right Partner (Steggy) - I loved exploring demisexual Steve.

Running Out of Time (JamieClaire) - I am a sucker for sad angsty sex and though it's my least popular Outlander fic it's my fav.

Past the Pointe of No Return (OQ) - This is the best of my novel length stuff and there are so many good deep characters moments (and more to come if I ever manage to get back to it).

The Edge of Control (JamieClaire) - The best sex I have ever and probably will ever write

What are some oq fics that you would recommend?

okay i took the greatest of care selecting what matters most to me. i also categorized as best as i could so it wouldn’t look like a mess of links i was just throwing at you – even though they’re all pretty much complete AUs, but i also attempted to summarize to help. bc you’re worth it, nonnie. 

that being said, i’ve been awake since 2 in the morning, so i for sure forgot a lot of fics, and this is probably still a mess. regardless, this will be my oq fic rec masterpost that i will add more to when i’m not so tired.

- ̗̀ modern AUs  ̖́-

sunny side up (by @queen-of-the-merry-men, in-progress) - robin asks regina for her eggs during breakfast one day, but it turns out he means the baby-making kind. this fic’s still getting started, but it’s so adorable so far, and i’m so in love with how this person writes platonic bffs robin and regina, it’s so sweet and enjoyable to read while you wait for them to realize they’re in love with each other

what would they say (by @queen-of-the-merry-men, in-progress) - aka (bc i gotta warn you) the most epic slowburn to ever slowburn. like, some people try to give that trophy to other fics, but i strongly disagree bc i definitely count fic years, and boiiiii. i don’t even know how to summarize this… the gist, regina falls in love with the husband of her late best friend. the long, regina goes through some serious shit (including her best friend dying), and robin’s a real supportive guy, a good boy (who also goes through some shit i.e. his wife dying), and they fall in love

you’ve got mail (by @gray-autumn-sky, complete) - based on the movie (that i will watch one day), robin and regina become pen pals, not knowing they hate each other in real life. you know you can’t resist an enemies-to-lovers trope, bc no one can resist an enemies-to-lovers trope. and it’s written by tara, a quality person, so there. tbh i don’t know how to properly flail about how much i love this oneshot without spoiling it, so just know that i do, and should the day come that more is added to this verse i will spontaneously combust.

time just flies, but i still carry on (by @robinwright, in-progress) - idk how to summarize this without spoiling. to put it vaguely, robin’s an asshole and four years later he’s back to fix his mistakes. i just feel assaulted by this fic, and i need cassie to formally apologize for it (through a prequel and a happy sequel please

baby gates and deadbolts (by @x-wishes-on-fallen-stars-x, in-progress) - regina meets a baby roland at the store, and he approves of her hair. adorable, with undertones of emo bc it’s gabi. but it’s sweet, and full of parent OQ, which i’m always weak for.

eye of the beholder (by @mysterious-song, in-progress) - a blind robin falls in love with regina’s voice. this fic is so sweetly written, i’m just in silent awe. it’s beautiful. i want more so bad.

the song that summer sings (by @writtenndust, in-progress) - movie-star regina walks into robin’s humble bookstore, and wholesome love happens. you have no idea how far up this fic’s ass i am. i’m so in love. it’s so adorable. like, why am i still talking? why are you still here reading this? go read the fic. already read it? read it again.

- ̗̀ supernatural AUs  ̖́-

fallen (by @dee-thequeenbee, in-progress) - demons. fallen angels, actually, walking the earth, fucking shit up. of course regina’s one of them. and of course robin’s gotta get in her way. this concept is so cool, i love that this fic exists, and i can’t wait to see it progress

wild hearts (by @regal-pixiedust, in-progress) - amidst a zombie apocalypse, regina meets the survival group of robin, henry, roland, and david, and together they try not to die. stressful af, but there’s a healthy dose of regal believer in here, too, so it’s worth it.

broken souls (by @regal-pixiedust, in-progress) - regina can see dead people. she used to help ghosts move on in her younger days, and robin’s newly dead wife insists she gets back into the hobby. this fic is a wild ride from start to almost-finish, and i’ve loved every second of it.

- ̗̀ historical/magical AUs  ̖́-

happiness can’t be arranged (by @gray-autumn-sky, in-progress) - set in some time period that’s not now (i don’t know history, sorry tara), robin and regina are forced to marry each other. basically you read this fic and alternate between NOW KISS and wondering when robin and regina’s parents are finally going to die. but it’s also some quality hood-mills family stuff, and it gets even more adorable by the chapter, so you’re welcome

in sickness and in health (by @mysterious-song, complete) - a memory-loss AU (i, am trash for memory loss AUs. there aren’t enough of them). an adorable oneshot of robin waking up in the hospital to a pretty lady, whom he immediately wishes he was married to. his wish comes true. i love this oneshot so much, it’s so cute, and i wish every day that there was more

oq prompt party: sabrina au (by @lala-kate) - based on the movie sabrina. assuming bad intentions, robin tries to romance regina away from his infatuated brother in order to protect their family’s fortune. he falls in love with her instead. i first read this while i was not in a good enough mindset to reblog (and i’m sorry about that), but i fell in love. i would give a limb for this to continue. whatever you want.

not unless you wish it (by @miladylocksley, in-progress) - after a heist, robin finds a genie lamp amongst his new possessions, and out pops regina. you know when fics just kinda stay with you? and their existence just pops into your head randomly? that’s this fic. every now and then my brain is just like ‘remember the genie au?’ i do, brain. i do.

- ̗̀ canon-divergent AUs  ̖́-

from the missing pages (by @gray-autumn-sky, complete) - a page 23 AU. baby regina walks into the tavern that night, and meets robin. the only page 23 au that matters to me (the only one i’ve read fully, but whatever). it’s sweet, it’s stressful, and it makes for a nice reread every now and then

oq allergy-verse (by @gray-autumn-sky) - two super adorable s3-AU baby ficlets, here and here. regina, soulmate to her forest-bound thief, is allergic to trees. and robin’s gotta deal with that heartbreak. tbh i’m just hoping that if i keep talking about this tiny verse, tara will continue to add to it, so here we are

chimera (by @revolutionsoftheheart, in-progress) - post-s5 AU. zelena dies, and regina’s left to raise baby peanut. five-year-old baby peanut decides to scare the shit out of her aunt with her new imaginary friend. this fic is painful, and it hurts too. but i’m so intrigued as to where jakie’s planning to take it, so i’m here. hurting.

- ̗̀ holiday AUs  ̖́-

actually, love (by @revolutionsoftheheart, complete) - a snow storm leaves robin no other choice than to spend christmas with his ex, regina. this fic right here is the main reason this category exists. i love it so much.

ethereal (by @revolutionsoftheheart, complete) - two strangers meet in their dreams, and fall in love. basically jakie’s the queen of holiday one-shots. this is everything i could’ve wanted and more, and i’m still so happy she wrote it

i hope this list is in any way beneficial

Dark OQ Week: Family

This is my own little retcon for giving the Queen the family she deserves, as well as my own attempt to answer what Wish!Robin is, and why he didn't age. Written for Dark OQ week - Family. Thanks to @repellomuggletum15 and @the-alpha-incipiens for not letting me quit this :)

They end up spending another day at Snow's castle. Sleeping in, making love by the fire, it is all... quite a perfect holiday. But now it's time to show him around the woods of the Enchanted Forest, and ultimately her castle. She's oddly excited to show him her former home, now that they've cleared the air. So her morning is full of giddy anticipation for what may come. And then everything changes in a moment, as she hears a sound that makes her blood run cold.

She'd recognize that laugh anywhere. It's a squeal, and a long giggle, and then a Put me downnnnnn Johnnn! that has her tackling Robin and throwing him off the trail into a dense gathering of shrubs. It's almost comical, she supposes, as she bum rushes him, headfirst, and rolls him out of eyesight of the approaching group.

It's not the first time she's been... rough with Robin, and he takes it well, he really does, rubbing his head while she grabs his hand and leads him uphill, deeper into the woods. He mutters, "I truly hope that was necessary."

"It was," she hisses, "Now shut up."

She can't help herself; she has to look. She pulls back thick, leaf laden branches of a nearby shrub and watches as the boy skips down the trail.

"Uncle Johnnnnn you cheated at hide and seek!" he exclaims, "That's not fair!"

"I can't just close my eyes and let you roam around the forest!" he argues, "that game doesn't work here."

Roland pouts adorably, once again chiding John for being such a rule breaker, and her heart melts at the tender moment. God, she wishes she was there, wishes she could hold him again, trade secrets and eskimo kisses and feed him treats…

"Who are they and why in the hell are we hiding from them?" Robin looks positively pissed. "You've got magic, I've got my bow, that man is the size of a barn door and I doubt he could move quick enough to avoid an arrow, this is ridiculous, I'm going back on the trail."

"Nooo!" she whispers. "That's Robin's child, those are his men."

His eyes go wide for a second, then slant, and he rolls them, looking absolutely livid. "For fuck's sake you could have cracked one of my ribs over this, who cares if it's awkward for them to see you…"

"I'm not hiding from them," Regina explains. "I'm hiding from Roland. His son."

"We are hiding from a child?" Robin asks, dumbfounded. "This is ridiculous, I'm going back on the trail, we've wasted enough time —"

"Don't you dare," she threatens, "If you even go near that child…"

"I don't care about the kid, I'm not threat to him. Unless you think he's a threat to me. What is he going to do, bite me with his baby teeth?"

"He'll think you're his papa, you idiot," she explains.

"I gathered that, and so what?" He asks, agitated. "I'm not going to spend my life running away from a toddler because I happen to look like the boy's father. He should learn one way or another. I'm off…"

"You'll traumatize him!" she exclaims, because he has to understand, doesn't he? How much it will hurt the boy, how can he be so callous... how can he care so little…?

"Yes, well, his father died at the hands of Hades himself, and some crazy witch had a sister he's now never going to see, and he's jumped more realms than anyone has in a lifetime. I think he's been traumatized already, a little more won't hurt him."

Robin is walking with purpose back to that trail, and Regina made a promise to him, to never use magic without his consent. She doesn't want it to be like this, doesn't want to use magic on people she cares for, but, well, at this instant she doesn't care much for him at all, so why not?

She waves her hand and freezes him dead in his tracks, before he can traumatize the poor boy.

And then she follows Roland a bit, hidden in the thick foliage that surrounds the trail. She lets him go, let's tears fall and wanders back to Robin, releasing him from his frozen state.

"What the hell?" he asks, massaging the arm that had been held in the air for the last fifteen minutes. He probably can't even feel it anymore, and Regina doesn't even care.

"If you're going to act like a pathetic piece of trash you can't be upset when I treat you as such," Regina snarls at him. "You were going to hurt that child, for what? For fun?"

"I was going to go about my business and not spend my life ducking around corners to hide from a child," he exclaims.

"It's a big realm," she reminds him, "you'll probably never see him again, so why not just this one time consider someone else's feelings?"

"Oh I highly doubt that will be the last we see of him," Robin groans, "you will probably be meeting up with him soon, won't you? I saw the way you looked at him, it's like a mother hen looking after her baby chick. It's just a matter of time. And then where the hell will I be?"

"I assume you'll be off in the corner somewhere licking your wounds, feeling pathetic that you are jealous of a child!" she screams back.

"I'm not jealous; I'm annoyed. I don't like children, Regina. And I do like you, but you've taken me to a realm where the boy exists, and...was that your plan all along? You'd spend your days playing mother while I go off to wherever the fuck you send me, and then, what, beckon for me at night when you need your fun? Like some fucking pet you can just lock away when it's convenient?"

"Oh, you wish I liked you enough to treat you as a pet!" Regina snarks, "And as for the rest, this argument is irrelevant because I'll never see Roland again. I won't risk it, not when you're still here. So congratulations, you win. I've given up yet another loved one for you, are you happy?"

She hates him, at this moment, hates him as much as she hates herself. He's not her Robin, he's a pathetic, twisted shell of the man she loved. The man she loved would never… never be so callous about the feelings of a child. She was an idiot for ever letting herself feel so much for a man who obviously is nothing compared to the real Robin.

She doesn't speak to him the entire rest of the way to the castle.

When they enter through the gates she mutters, "Pick a room, any room but mine. Take your own damn tour of the castle. I'm tired, and I'm looking forward to finally being able to sleep on my own bed. Alone." She was supposed to share with him, tell him secrets, things she's proud of and things she's ashamed, and yes, scared of...but instead there's only an unsettling, cool distance blowing between them. And the last thing she wants to do with him is talk about painful memories, so she welcomes that distance now.

She stalks off to her chambers, missing the way Robin's face falls ever so slightly as she storms away from him.

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED CHAPTER I

October 13, 2010

Death is a funny thing you know. It hurts so much to see someone you love go, but knowing how much that person was suffering in life thanks to a terminal illness, somehow death, gives you some sort of peace. I don’t intent to romanticize it like so many before me have already done, I lack the words to do so although I don’t like the pain that is every day more incrusted in my soul. Now that I think about it, these words feel like they are coming from dead man making it’s way in the living world but I’ll be honest, it isn’t like that at all. True watching her die, watching the light in Marian’s eyes disappear killed me in some degree and I will never deny the pain that brings into my life but that same day was when I as reborn again.

Rebirth by death… Quite funny indeed.

For a while I was lost, and I really didn’t understand her last words for me.

Move on.

Explore that vast, infinite world.

She told me to do all those things I’ve been dying to do. (I know, poor choice of words.) To simply make her proud by being happy. By finding love again and living life to the fullest. No regrets, no looking back not even to take impulse. To simply gathered the courage to begin again in a world ruled by fears and darkness. To put my hand in the grasp of freedom and allow the breeze to take me flying like the clouds in the sky.

And I intent to.

Today marks two whole months since Marian’s passing and I am finally ready to pick up my bag, safely tuck this leather journal under my arm and begin my new adventure as a gypsy. Time to discover who I am. Time to discover a whole new world full of possibilities with my very own eyes. I am ready to leave the past behind, I am ready to fall in love with life.

Day 3: A fic you feel is underrated

inappropriate workplace relations by @shortwillrule

/in which Professor Regina Mills drinks tea, teaches Geometry, and sometimes gives her students nightmares, and Dr. Robin Locksley is the cool teacher who survives on coffee, specializes in English, and has a tumblr. They somehow manage to fall in love over the course of a school year. [ffn]

Rarely do I go directly to fanfiction.net for fic. I have very little time to read, so I tend to go for recs and fics from authors I already know. But this gem – this gem I stumbled upon randomly many months ago now, and everyone should read it. Everyone. It’s the teachers AU you always wanted. Really. 

Read it. Now.

Outlaw Queen - Fic Rec & Review Week (@oqcelebration​) Thu 19th: A fic you have written (or that has special meaning to you)

Okay, here’s for a little bit of belated self-love. Three stories I’ve written that I’m proud of - incidentally, all three were actually mentioned already by some lovely people this week.

Ploy To the World (The Grinch Is Come)

My OQ Advent 2016 story. The toil is still fresh in my mind, and the result is quite pleasant I think.

Summary: Storybrooke is getting ready for grand Christmas festivities, and a large chunk of the work rests upon Regina's shoulders. Everything that could possibly go wrong does, and a new villain strikes the moment they think they can finally take a break. Rated M for smut and F for fluff.

By Night a Hero

Perhaps my favourite baby, born out of a cool prompt I didn’t think I could begin anything with at first.

Summary: Vigilantes AU. Regina Mills and Robin Locksley may seem like your average citizens, but their secret personas have taken it upon themselves to be swift agents of their own brand of justice - separately. Until one fateful night marks the start of a connection much more profound. (Brief non-graphic mentions of rape and domestic violence, some coarse language. No one dies, I promise.)

Bread and Games

With two chapters out so far, this is easily my biggest, most challenging writing project to date. Having been stuck for a while, I’m finally back working on the next update - I truly appreciate your patience, the kind words and encouragement.

Summary: Ancient Rome AU. Sentenced to fight in the arena, Robin only has one wish: to win his freedom back, and with it his son and his life. As different as Regina's background is, her own struggle is dauntingly similar, and she takes the wayward thief under her protection. Fortuna smiled upon them when their paths first crossed and set things in motion, but the gods are fickle...

OQ Fic and Review Week, Day 1

@oqcelebration Day 1: A new fic that has promise.

My rec is Chimera by @revolutionsoftheheart.

This fic is set 5 years after Robin’s death, and little Robyn is being raised by Regina. And, like many children, Robyn develops an imaginary friend.

I typically don’t read things that are sad--life is sad enough--but this one is too beautiful not to read. The writing is absolutely lovely. @revolutionsoftheheart tells the story in a way that makes me smile and cry at the same time. Each installment makes my heart ache, yet gives me this little flicker of hope and comfort that keeps me looking forward to more. It’s quickly become a favorite and has proven to be a lovely read on cold winter days.

The road less traveled

October 16, 2010

When I was a Little boy, my father gave me my first book, Life’s little instruction book. It had hundreds and hundreds of suggestions, observations and reminders on how to live a happy, rewarding life. I remember that the first suggestion was to compliment three people every day. At first it seemed silly. Personally I didn’t know what complimenting a person would provide me with but curiosity was stronger and I commenced my very own experiment. First off my mother, Helena. I remember going up to my mother and telling her that every time she smiled my insides got all warm and fuzzy that I loved seeing her happy because it made me feel happy and that wasn’t a lie. That day I saw the greatest smile of all. I didn’t think it was possible to love someone’s smile so much but I did, and I still do. Next up it was my sister, Belle. You see, when we were kids my sister had her fears. She was adopted and she always was waiting for the other shoe to drop. She waited for the day their parents would send her back to where she came from because she didn’t feel good enough for her. So on my quest of discovery, I had a little stop in her room. Like always, Belle was reading (She was, still is an avid reader) and well I say beside her. We always gotten along but that day, after his words they cemented more than their ties, but their friendship as well. To this day I still remember what I told her: “You are the greatest gift my parents could possibly give me. They gave me not only a sister but also a best friend whom I will cherish from the day you were brought her until forever.” Like mom, they emotions behind her eyes was something that could never be put into words, nor the smile that made my heart grow ten times its original size. All I knew that from that moment on, Belle and I have been inseparable.

And last but certainly not least, my father.

It was strange at the beginning. My father and I never been the father and son duo who spoke of their feelings, or pointed out the perfection and flaws that were carrying, well I wasn’t. So when it came to look for something good in my father it wasn’t an easy task. It wasn’t because I didn’t love him, God knows I adore him with my entire soul but because for the first time I had to stop and search for all those qualities that made him such a great human being. With my mother and sister came easy because I always saw them doing good, striving for their beliefs and dreams, whilst with my father… Well he had gone incognito. But when I realized all the good things he did, how loving he was with us, his family, I wasn’t able to give him a compliment but I did give him a tight hug. I thanked him for always being the beam of support in our family and most importantly for giving me high values, it was at that moment that I gave myself one really important task, to be like my father. A good husband, a good father, a good brother and a good friend.

Today I am still trying to figure things out, andl it will take some time. But I haven’t forgotten the simple things.

Please and Thank you.

Smile to make another person smile.

And compliment three people daily.

Day 4: A fic you have written

I don’t know if you guys remember this, but, during season 4, our fandom was divided between those who were content with canon, and others who were disappointed with the direction our ship took (little did we know). I was part of the former at the time, though I still wanted more than what we got.

It’s what brought em to write the two fics of mine I will rec today. One is tag to 4A, the other to 4B. These fics were my attempt at making sense of what was happening on screen, at understanding the characters’ motivations, their thoughts, at trying to flesh them out since the show wouldn’t. They were not very popular when they were posted, mostly because, I think, people wanted to read AUs and forget about the way canon was treating their favourite characters.

If you wanted to give these two a try, now that season 4 is long behind us and its pain has dulled, I would be eternally grateful.

Pieces (4A)

Smash the Mirror (408) to New York City from Robin's POV. His thoughts as he navigates his honour and his feelings for Regina. [ffn | ao3]

Not Broken, Just Bent (4B)

All it takes is one moment for your life to spin off-axis, for your world to collapse, for everything you knew to become unfamiliar. Stomachs burning with the guilt of different burdens to bear, Robin and Regina find that this is one of those moments. Outlaw Queen - from'Mother' to the end of season 4. [ffn | ao3]
