My [ongoing] CodyWan Fic Masterlist

Hello! Sorry that this post is a little late, as I said in another post, I've been busy and it kinda got sidetracked--but it's here now!

This rec list isn't gonna be as long as the other one, since I haven't really had time to get into new fics (life stuff + the work of writing my own fic), but there a still a good chunk of them + a couple are series.

They're gonna be separated into "Ongoing" and "Abandoned" so that way you know what you're getting into and I'll put more info in the description--and yes, I'm recommending a couple abandoned works because I think they're still good and maybe with enough support the authors will decide to continue. Either way, they're good fics.

Ongoing

shoulder the sky by @shootingstarpilot

Have I already recced this series? Yes. Am I still reccing it again? Also yes.

I seriously cannot rave enough about how awesome and well done this fic is, and no amount of me harping on it will ever do it thejustice it deserves. This fic has made me laugh, cry, get really pissed at the characters, and it has me waiting (im)patiently for every update--like, every single day I check Ao3 and it's just to check if this fic has updated.

It handles Jedi and Clone culture beautifully and adds in so much interesting world building, it perfectly balances out the fluff with the angst, it handles grief and PTSD very well, and so many other things! The author is also honestly just very sweet and even takes time out of his day to reply to as many comments as possible (which is insane, because there are always like 70+ comments on every chapter).

The Emperor and His Mandalorian by wanderingjedihistorian (RangerJedi67)

Technically I think this would be considered finished, but the author has added a new work to the series every couple months since I found it, so I'm adding it here just in case.

It's a Sith!Obi-Wan AU where Obi-Wan kicks Palpatine's ass and becomes Emperor and marries Cody, son of Manda'lor Jango Fett, as an agreement when Mandalore surrenders to him. I honestly really like how this fic handles Obi-Wan as a Sith and how that affects his actions and relationships with others, as well as Cody being a sort of "balance" for Obi-Wan's dark tendencies.

I'm not even a big fan of Sith!Obi-Wan fics, but this series is the one that got me to start reading some of them--so it definitely comes recommended!

no one left to sing to by slotmachines_fearofgod

This fic is a really interesting take on what would happen in TCW if Cody took more of an active role in the story. I love the author's take on Cody's character and how both his duty to his brothers and all the Kamino bullshit effects how Cody handles Obi-Wan and his feelings towards him.

Also the ending of the most recent update had me screaming and crying at my computer.

The art of living anyway by Itstwointhemorningwhyamiawake

A "Rex is Force-sensitive" fic that follows Cody and Obi-Wan's relationship as well. This fic is pretty new, so I don't really know where it's going, but the first two chapters have been amazing so far!

Abandoned

the sun is just a star by clementines_and_colorful_things

It's hard to give this fic a description that does it justice, but it's honestly really really good. It's basically a slow burn that follows Obi-Wan and Cody through TCW and, according to the tags, would eventually lead to Order 66 happening differently than in RotS.

More Than Blood by generalekenobi

Where Order 66 happens a bit differently and Cody and Obi-Wan end up on the run with baby Luke and Leia, having to masquerade as a Mandalorian couple to do so (uh-huh, yep, totally fake--them have feelings for each other? never).

I really love how this fic gives Cody agency and lets him go "no, we're not doing that, try again" and actually effect the story's outcome. It makes the story a lot more interesting and adds to the dynamic between Cody and Obi-Wan--both relationship-wise and in their newfound mission in taking care of the twins.

I Can Barely Recall (but it's all coming back to me now) by Shortcuts_make_long_delays

Ok, so I don't know if this fic is abandoned or just taking a while to update, so I just put it here--just be aware of that.

This is a Modern!AU where Cody and Obi-Wan used to date, but broke up due to something that keeps being hinted at but not overtly stated (and fuck, I just wanna know what happened! It's killing me!), and now Cody meets his ex "Ben" again when he turns out to be Obi-Wan, Anakin's older brother.

This fic is really interesting and well written and, like I said before, I really just want to know wtf the accident is--the suspense is killing me! Ahhhhhh!

Honorable Mention

An honorable mention for Not This Crude Matter by thebitterbeast

This fic was gonna be apart of the "ongoing" section, but the final part was posted like right after I posted my finished CodyWan rec list.

This series isn't just centered around Cody and Obi-Wan, but I still think it handles their relationship--and other relationships--beautifully. It centers mainly around Jedi culture and it's honestly one of my favorite takes on it. I can't recommend this series enough!

the entire bare your teeth series by creabirds

It has been five years since Max gave Charles his mating bite on a rainy day in Val d'Argenton. Five years of Charles keeping his head down and ignoring it had ever happened. Until the day he set foot in the paddock, freshly signed to drive in F2, his dreams becoming true. Only there is one problem: his mate is too close for his body not to react.

lemniscate by weiwuxian

Charles tries to imagine Max, on the opposite side of the kitchen. Eating bread too, like he did that first morning of the After—gross and charming.

Tries to think about the way he would hold him, maybe. Of the softness of his lips, glossed by butter; and how he would laugh and push him away.

His phone dings and he blinks himself awake once again.

sweet kiwi (your juice is dripping down my chin) by amarynas

The fucking vibrator was still going, buzzing even louder now that it was touching the mattress, and all Max did was laugh.

Blindly, Charles felt for it, hitting the button he assumed had to be the intensity down button.

Instead of getting quieter, the buzzing got louder.

or, Charles wakes up with a pussy, and that's just one of many things he does not understand.

cherry flavored (conversations with you) by knewitcouldbedun

And okay maybe this wasn’t the “You-looked-so-hot-in-that-outfit-the-other-day-I-wish-I-had-said-yes-and-came-in-for-water-and-put-you-over-the-counter-so-I-could-rip-those-slutty-fucking-shorts-open-with-my-teeth-and-watch-you-squirm-and-whimper-beneath-me-as-I-ghost-over-it-with-my-tongue-until-you-cried” Charles had been wanting, but it was an opportunity. A wide open invitation for them to hang out again and for Max to drive his car, something that already drove him wild as he thought of those long fingers wrapped around the gearshift.

flush by laurawritingf1

Max wins Charles in a poker game and fucks him on the table. Charles is sure he should be at least trying to look like he disapproves of the idea but he is too wet to hide how much he wants this.

smile for the camera by anonymous

Max always complimented on how Charles's pussy looked so good when he was fucking him, and Charles just wanted to have a taste of it, to see it himself.

#these are all SO HOT. thank u to all the authors! go show them some love!!!! #lestappen #fic #chussy

ooh bojere fic recs please?

I'll try to recommend some fics (and by proxy authors) that i haven't seen in rec lists that much!! Know that there are many more I could recommend but I think these are good for now :3

by @feral4kaarijasquat !! It's very angsty at first because Jere ends up in the hospital after an accident but the unfortunate situation does bring Bojan and Jere closer together 👀 Second chapter includes smut ;)

by @jedibinx !! This is pure smut, Jere and Bojan get up to antics in the morning <3 It gives special attention to Jere's thighs and his Ariana Grande sweater paws :3

by @the-converse-high-top !! It is set in the deaf! Jere AU I made but in all honesty I don't think you need to have read my fic to understand this one :) It's a very sweet and heartwarming sickfic and the dialogue is so endearing!!

by dragon0blood!! It is an AU where Bojan is a landlord and Jere is his tenant who's behind on rent if you catch my drift 😏 The first 4 or so chapters are pure smut but it does get a lot cuter and more relationship focused in later chapters!

by @cinder-rose !! CW for consensual non consent but in the most unserious and cute way possible. Stuck in the wall porn trope but it's Bojere and genuinely kind of sweet in a way <3 (this is from their Kinktober series so deffo check out their other works, if this isn't for you I guarantee there's another fic for you in their catalog 👀)

by @chezgender !! Features possessive Bojan and a very devoted Jere getting it on before a gig ;) Super interesting religious imagery in this one as well

by @rosemindwrites!! Bojere smoke together while Bojan attempts to teach Jere some Slovenian <3 Fun dialogue and typical Bojere shenanigans

by anon!! Bojan finds out that Jere really enjoys being manhandled 😏 It's actually not that explicit despite the concept but the fic describes Jere and Bojan's sex life in such an interesting and unique way. The toy metaphors are also great storytelling :D

#this was my first time making a rec list lol srry if it's messy #käärijä #bojan cvjetićanin #Bojere #käärijan #fic rec #show some love to the authors!! <3 #I hope the links work :"3

ALRIGHT BABES LISTEN UP

YES IM TALKING TO YOU READERS OF THE TMNT X READER / ROTTMNT X READER TAG

As you well known, the tmnt / rottmnt tag had a great hit during the pandemic (that’s how I got here in first place) more than 10 posts PER DAY being posted on those tags (it has heaven, I have several saved and fav authors that I could make a list of my all time fav stories and series if someone is interested) and during a dark time between 2021-2022, it hit its Great Depression

We lost some great content creators (hi loves, if so happens to you guys ever see this: it’s ok to move on from a fandom, just want to let you know you are contributed wonderfully to the tag and your work shall never be forgotten; at least not by me mwah mwah) with the rottmnt movie, the tag once again rose!! New content was posted on the tag! And rottmnt finally having more spotlight in it (thank god cuz the series is way underappreciated than it should be) but the tag is slowly declining to dark days again (not as bad as it used to be thank god but anyways)

With that being said!

Do you know when sometimes some authors deliver a link for ao3, and some of us bats an eye (aka me. I used to bat an eye to it. USED TO!!)

Well. Y’all gonna read this author work especifically:

This Angel right here (link and you will be directed to their ao3 page) they went out of their way to write a fic with TWENTY SEVEN chapters dedicated towards Donnie (I don’t even know how many to the other boys, but they are doing a series for each of them and if this isn’t pure dedication idk what it is) with more than TREE CHAPTERS ONLY TO SMUT

So y’all gonna sit your ass on ao3 and read that shit and y’all gonna LIKE IT.

P.s: if you are an author

*:･ﾟ✧ Hi there *:･ﾟ✧

Please feel free to post content however you like, I just wanted to give a special shout-out cuz I swear to GOD this user is doing gods work and no one is celebrating it ( which honestly? It should, here have your special praise baby @madammuffins )

And to baby authors or author who have trouble posting regularly- If you ever gets shy into posting new stuff here: this is a sign for you to do it, the corn bots are eating the tag up, and I swear I won’t be able to survive another content depression

Anyways, that’s it

Hope you guys have a great day, see ya!!!!

#i never exchanged a single word to this author so anyways we are off to a great start #BUT FR NOW #seriously go give them some sugar n love #TWENTY SEVEN CHAPTERS IS NO JOKE #tmnt #rottmnt #tmnt x reader #rottmnt x reader #tmnt headcanons #rottmnt fandom #tmnt fandom #rottmnt headcanons #fanfic #fanfiction #AO3 #fic recommendation #personal #teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #It’s 6 am for me please accept this weird form of love and appreciation in a post / gif slide show form

His (bakugou x reader) by PBelfz; one of the best yandere! bakugou stories i have ever read, but be warned - highly nsfw (ik yandere is not everyone's cup of tea but if you're into that stuff and haven't read this fic, you should read it!)

surrender (whenever you're ready) (bakugou x reader) by OfMermaids; one of my favorite fanfics ever!! and anything written by her is honestly amazing (especially The Widening Sky, a mermaid au, and The Sun God's Bride, a fantasy au, which you should definitely also check out!!)

Bar Tool (bakugou x reader) by thunderhead; band au AND bar au?? but yeah this fic has everything you could ever want it's sooo good

We All Fall Down (dabi x reader) by Musecookie; the reader is an art student who ends up drawing dabi and he finds it in the dumpster and shit ensues and its sooo good, it's also been a long time since it's been updated but it's superrrr great!!!

Higher than the Mountain, Deeper than the Sea (dabi x reader) by maokitty; contains nsfw but it is so!! good!! and it dives into his character so so so so well!

as someone who’s writer fanfics, yesterday was a little scary. over the past few years a lot of my comfort came from ao3, and when i finally started writing on it, i was amazed at the love people show for not just my fics, but other peoples. the community on ao3 (despite all the bad areas) is always gonna come together and share love for fics.

so, from now on, show love for you favourite writer, or fics, give a comment or so, pass it on to a mate who might also enjoy.

hey pasta! I don’t know if someone has asked this already but is TRT gonna go into Born Again or end at season 3?

So that's where I'm not sure! The current outline is as such:

All Major Arcs (including Cyrus James/Project Beagle fallout arc and psychic abilities arcs): scheduled to wrap up a bit after the end of S3 so that Matt and Jane's arcs/development neatly dovetail together. This will mark the official end of TRT's main fic.

Special Additional Arcs (chaptered fics not attached to main fic but still TRT canon, taking place after end of main fic) in no particular order: Endgame/The Snap arc, Spider-Man: NWH arc, Spoiler Removed arc, tentative She Hulk Shenanigans arc.

Oneshot Arcs: various domestic fluff arcs, interactions with major MCU events, a 'What Their Life Is Like When Old Cause GD It They're Going To Live To Old Age And Will Have Rocking Chairs' arc, a SINGLE take it or leave it 'What If?' fic of something funny with a possible daughter cause damn I had this idea for a hilarious scene and it won't leave me alone

Now, those are what are planned in the outline, and the main event with Project Beagle tie-ins and plotlines and all of that is something I'm still planning to end just after S3 because I really do want to have a finish line for that, and I feel like dragging that all out for Born Again wouldn't work for the... events that are going to happen, without saying too much. Once that's wrapped up, that's when you're going to see TRT finally marked as 'complete' on AO3, though there'll be more fics set in that universe (see special additional arcs and oneshot arcs) that I'll mark as in the Devil and Hound series along with drabbles on tumblr.

Once we're past that official endpoint and those special arcs, though, things get fluid and murky since when I was outlining all the major plotlines, there was no Daredevil: Born Again, nor was Matt even in the MCU officially (which is why Spider-Man pops in way sooner in TRT than he meets Matt in the MCU) and I specifically set up Jane's plotline to bookend with Matt's so their growth twined together and they both finally found peace around the same time. Outside that, I'd planned some shorter chaptered stories in the series post-mainline TRT like the Snap arc that I may now adjust (since it sure is looking like Matt was left behind for the snap) but nothing on the level of TRT's main plotline which is absolutely massive and took me years to fully outline and construct before coming back from hiatus in 2021 and pumping out chapters (Happy six year anniversary to TRT on Sept 15!).

ALL THAT BEING SAID.

I do have plans to write stuff for TRT's take on Born Again because I'm 100% married to writing for Matt at this point and there's no possible way I won't want to do something once I'm being fed Charlie!Matt scenes again. I'm not sure what those plans are just yet - I kinda wanna wait and see what happens in Born Again in case it sparks something. But I also want to make sure that no matter what I do, there's some sort of strong original plotline so that, much like mainline TRT, we'll be able to weave in and out of canonical events (especially since things like the Snap or a wedding or Jane and Matt's friendship with Peter will alter canon). I don't think I'm going to do something quite as huge as TRT's main plotline again, mostly because it takes a TON of time and work, and I'm planning to take the original TRT elements and morph them into an original series fit for publishing (different enough that I can leave TRT up for everyone to read, cause at this point the fic's part of DD fandom culture and I have no plans to take that away) which will also take a ton of time. But I'm definitely rattling my brain around, looking at different plotlines I could do knowing what I know about the ending, hunting for loose ends or canonical threads that I can weave in with TRT's world and create something new!

Then again, I never would have said I'd make something as massive as TRT before I started, either, so who knows.

So in short: YES, there will be TRT events for Born Again even if it's not as elaborate as TRT! I just have no idea what those will be yet. Fortunately, TRT mainline's only a little over halfway done so I've got time to plan!

#the red thread #daredevil: born again #if authors and characters are sometimes like marriages then me and matt and jane have rings #all of the mainline stuff i had was basically planned to wrap up just after season 3 and that's still going to happen #with additional but much shorter chaptered fics planned to explore MCU events through a TRT lens #as well as some domestic fluff stuff and exploring what their relationship looks like as the MCU moves forward #so I was always planning to do *something* in a way #but honestly i didn't expect for there to be a born again #and certainly not as much stuff with matt as is happening #so i didn't really have anything SUPER huge planned unless a movie did something big that sparked an idea (think the snap) #and now i'm like OH MY GOD THE SHOWS THERE WILL BE SO MUCH #and i have a feeling i'll have a lot to work with that might stir some creativity! #it just probably won't be as elaborate as TRT cause gd i love it but it's a ton of work #and i want to get a variation of it published which will also be work since i need to change a mountain of details #but yes i do plan to write stuff for born again set in the TRT universe! just need to see what gets sparked unless i bump into something #that inspires a plotline #a bit like i did with the idea of red threads

[bylertruther]

imma keep it real with you guys and tell u the most basic common sense thing ever which i thought everyone knew but apparently not (not said in a mean or condescending way). ahem. it's ok to write a byler fic that only has byler in it. no one is going to stone you or bite you if you don't include the entire party or every other character. it's literally okay 🩷

#you don't know where to fit x character? or you don't feel confident writing them? brother you literally don't have to include them lol #ngl i love fics written by oldheads who give side characters the most random assignments ever #ESPECIALLY when they're only described physically and it makes you go ''hm.. red hair.. glasses.. WAIT IS IT BARB?! 😦'' #read this one fic where everything is different and it's totally 100% au in every way and there was a character that we never got their #name and it FUCKING KILLED ME!!!!!!!!!!!! bc i couldn't tell if it was joyce or karen omfg jus tht it was an older kind brunette #and then the author disappeared so now i'll never kno </3 #but ya. some of my favorite fics have had only mike and will and maybe the byerses #just because the source material is an ensemble show doesn't mean that all of the fan works have to also be an ensemble!

I hope that, in light of his increased popularity because of the movie, that Miguel O’Hara shows up in more Spider-Man media. Like, outside of the Spider-verse movie trilogy.

I see him a lot in his white suit on random merch, usually in the background, but amongst Peter and Miles. Sometimes with Gwen and Anya too.

Marvel has had no problem de-aging characters for media purposes before. Peter has been aged up n down all over the place, and even Tony Stark has been de-aged for a cartoon before, so it’d be cool to see a younger Miguel heroing alongside Miles n Peter.

I could see a teen Miguel getting trapped in the past due to some plot-related future shenanigans. The implication of how he obtained his spider half would be more horrific since he’s younger, but that can be alluded to and left to fanfiction if needed. (But is important to his character and shouldn’t be removed or diluted!)

I just wanna see a teen Miguel having some fun with Peter n Miles (while still being our favorite sarcastic ass).

#age-wise I could see Miguel being younger than Peter and older than Miles #would probably also help his image to show him more actively heroing since atsv hasn’t painted him in the best light to a lot of people #Miguel O’Hara is a hero too dammit #I was staring at my Spider-Man blanket a little too long while refusing to get out of bed this morning #Miguel’s white suit makes him look younger to me for some reason #not that he couldn’t be a teen his blue/black suit cause I’d love that too #it just so happens that most of the merch I see is him in his white suit amongst other teen/young adult Spiders #I’m kinda getting desperate for content #the fanfics have slowed to trickle and that makes me sad #I have like 3 plot ideas that I would like to write #but I’m not a writer #I’m begging to see fic updates #but I realize that most of these authors are probably in school and this have more important things to do #and I guess the hype died for a lot of people already #so I’ll probably have to wait til Beyond for another influx 😭 #which is why I hope Miguel starts showing in other shows/movies/games to give variety and spark interest #morning thoughts #spiderman #miguel o'hara #spiderman 2099 #I don’t have much work to do atm #can you tell? lol

AAA OMG thank you so much for answering my question! ok ok ok so! first up for the fic desires, right out of the gate - I don't like smut (as a sex-repulsed asexual I find reading about it not fun). also I don't like reading whump that much unless it has a good ending. as for not wanted ships, anything is fine unless it's incest or pedophilia. characters/interactions are a bit harder to pin down, but I know I don't want any fics that involve self-inserts, y/n, or ocs as the main focus, I'd much rather be distanced from the story being told than directly involved in it, if that makes sense? I'd like to read something involving Idia or Ortho or any of the Hades dorm (idk its in-universe name) characters - there doesn't seem to be a lot involving them, at least not that I've found yet. stuff involving the octotrio would also be good, love me some angsty merboys. maybe some stuff with Riddle and the other Heartslybule (idk if that's how it's spelled) students too? if you have any fics involving transformation or body-swapping, those are tropes I really like (I'm reasonably sure that at least some of the Diasomnia students have dragon or half-dragon forms but so far I haven't found anything involving them actually transforming?) In addition, what fics involving the Diasomnia students do you think are the best? (since you are the resident expert in that field, 90% is impressive.) thank you again for answering my ask so enthusiastically, I'm sure you'll be a great help. :)

okay cool beans, ty ty!!! hmm i am,,, unfortunately just abt the worst person you could come to for ignihyde or octavinelle stuff, i so rarely click anything from those dorms. regardless, ill give a list of stuff below!! i will add a little description to give u a feel and if it's something u don't vibe with or a ship u don't wanna read, j skip and try something else, hopefully something here will work for u!

And You Think, "No Escape" (ongoing) GEN – i'm a few chapters behind on this one bc life kicked me, but very good gen fic thus far! mainly focused around the previous overblotters in a weird sidequest treasure hunt forced by some bad guys, with trey and cater in the BG tryna help their situation. VERY long chapters and updates very regularly, so would likely provide a good amount of content

Night Raven Kindergarten (ongoing) GEN – cater is the main char, but he and trey are kindergarten teachers for a selection of the cast as kids!! VERY cute and fun, and delves into the kids' lives at home in rly heartfelt ways that hit, the problems feel nuanced and well-written, and the chars all feel so themselves. whitenoface is the author and i like a lot of their work, i'm recing another work from them later on

Briar Scion (ongoing) Idiasil – p long idiasil fic where the story itself is rly what caught my attention, and now im along for the ride. the premise is rly interesting where essentially like,,, nature itself loves silver, and wants to marry him? so nature is encroaching on school turf while interpersonal romance happens around the plot, its a fun concept! yuu is in it in the bg a bit but its not like,, self-insert or OC, so hopefully u won't mind. updates regularly!

when we don't have the words, chocolate can speak volumes (completed) Idiasil – cute, 30k or so idiasil!! largely focuses on the second years as a group working at the mostro lounge, as silver asks for advice from them respectively and idia works up the nerve in the bg to come in to say hi to silver. mostly just a cute silly story, not as intricate a plot but a fun read!

The Queen's Court (completed) Catervil – first of all, azurith is a FANTASTIC writer, and i highly recommend literally anything they've ever written. this rec branches beyond this fic, but this was my start. this covers cater interning for maleficient herself, and then delves into his newfound connection to the draconias while covering fae history and previous war, etc, it's FANTASTIC and this lore is upheld in a lot of their other work. "Enchanted" is another ongoing work by azurith with cater as a diasomnia student, updates regularly and is very good!! azurith is largely a catervil writer but i think their work is far more important than a preference for ship, i'd rec even if u don't care abt catervil

Snow Is Falling (completed) Cater-focused – idk if u can tell but i like cater interacting w diasomnia content, this is where he goes to briar valley for winter break instead of back home! around 15k, just focuses on his interactions with the diasomnia people while staying with lilia and silver, p short and sweet but v nice :D

devoted malediction (orphaned) malledeuce – of all the fics on this list, this is the one ur most likely to skip. i found this on a WHIM while scouring every existing diasomnia ship tag and was so stunned at the audacity of someone to ship malleus and DEUCE, and to write 140k+ words abt it, that i had to read it. i can't explain it with words,,, the writing style reads so differently than anything else i've ever read, it reads as a STYLE rather than simply reading as 'well-written,' it rly kept my attention. essentially, it's a ...human? au? they're coworkers at a game dev studio, they're human but there's still magic, i can't explain it. there's underground plot-shit with the magic factions or whatever that's so interesting, but it IS orphaned so it'll never update again. i'm devastated. i can't sell this fic to anyone bc of the ship and the length but i enjoyed it very deeply and i'll miss it

Fath-- I mean, Lilia (completed) lilia & silver – ALSO by whitenoface, very sweet familial content of them through silver's life. a 10k must-read for a diasomnia fan

Even a Vanrouge Must Rest (completed) lilia & silver – VERY short and VERY sad but i am legally obligated to rec this. i'd be a bad diasomnia fan if i didn't, very heartbreaking and touching story

Crocodile Teeth (completed) Silsebe – sebek overblot story, decent length and p well written, sebek is infuriating which is Correct for sebek and Correct for someone on their way to an overblot. i've read most of magicalfish's work but i can't rec most to u due to nsfw, this is one of the better silsebe fics out there!!!

Just Out of Reach (ongoing) Silsebe – it DOES update, just not on a regular basis. VERY VERY good fic that FEELS slow-burn, it's 50k+ so far and still feels like the build is just starting up well now. essentially, silver and sebek get in a big fight and lilia magically makes them stay side-by-side till they understand each other, so it analyzes how despite their closeness in their upbringings and how they are partners in their roles as malleus's knights, they don't rly get each other yet and need to cultivate their relationship so it doesn't crumble. very nice story thus far and i look forward to updates!!

WHOOOOKAY that's a lot, i actually don't rly use bookmarks bc i'm typically on incognito on my phone, so i may be missing some, but these came to mind based on ur asks!! if u wanted more for ignihyde, octavinelle, or heartslabyul, i'd rec asking someone else bc i'm truly not the best source ^^;

#ask #headspace-tales #remember to at least give kudos to any u read!! show the authors some love <3 #this fandom is unfortunately a lot smaller than im used to sooo there arent a lot of long fics #these are the majority of the long fics i could remember that i enjoy!! def missing some but yippee!!!! #lettie llondonfog here on tumblr is also a fantastic writer but it leans a lot shorter so id j scroll thru her page :D

[that-was-anticlimactic]

i feel like it’s cheating to say kenji for the ask game cause everyone will (unless they Didnt. then please do). but also yosano for the ask game!!

yosano

first impression: yooo erica lindbeck! okay, okay! i know i'll love her and also omg her design is GORGEOUS what the heck also oh god poor ginger snow guy yikes but have fun ig???

impression now: HIIIIII BESTIE OMG um okay so let's kill m*ri together, kay? and then um you should wear a suit bc i think you'd look SO GOOD IN A SUIT!!! also ily btw you are super cool and omgi wanna see your character get explored with guilt bc is hurting people to heal them traumatic at all for you??? i just. oiuyftdrtfgyuhioiuygtfyghuijo i miss youuuuuuuuu

favorite moment: oh gosh... well, i love the moment when yosano greeted atsushi and was like "wanna come shopping with me" and everyone Zoomed out of the room lol but like also... the moment in s4 after the agency got framed and so she, kunikida, kenji, kyouka, and jun killed themselves but they weren't exactly dead yet and then she revived them all like healed them all that scene is just. SO GOOD??? HELLO??? MISS MA'AM ILYSM??? it was just SO DOPE and also SO PRETTY???

idea for a story: hmm i don't have too many yosano fic ideas, but i would like to maybe write a yosano & ranpo found sibling fic sometime or like... a yosano & jun'ichirou fic like idk what it would be about, but i think the two of them interacting would be very interesting. ooooh or a chaotic yosano & kajii friendship fic where they torment everyone with their "friendship" bc they SWEAR they aren't friends!!!

unpopular opinion: i really hate the yosano x k.oyou ship. so much. i cannot STAND it. i would rather yosano never date or be in a relationship with anyone than have her and k.oyou be a thing. also yosano isn't sadistic

favorite relationship: (non-romantic) this is hard bc i instinctively want to say yosano & kajii just bc i think they should become friends after the train incident bc i think they would be the most CHAOTIC friends fr imagine the science-y things they could do together... two people who wouldn't get hurt by kajii's explosions... ough... but also like. yosano & ranpo bc. DUH!!! i mean... ranpo changed her life fr and they are SIBLINGS okay wait here's another unpopular opinion for y'all: the ranpo & yosano are siblings tag should have OS MANY MORE FICS IN IT than the dazai & yosano are siblings tag. i mean. hello??? ranpo is RIGHT THERE???

favorite headcanon: yosano is a trans lesbian and she and ranpo are literally siblings and she gets chronic migraines which sucks bc she can't heal those and also she once lost her watch in jun'ichirou and yes that is a reference to a fic i read once but it made me giggle so hard that it's canon to me now~ oh and also she had a one night stand with agatha christie <333

#lena tag #kjhgfdgyhuijokiuygt y eah slava asked me about kenji tehe i could prolly talk SO MUCH MORE about him tho lol #i will 100% call myself kenji's biggest fan. i think the 21k word oneshot i wrote about him and the kenji poem poster in my classroom and #the fact that i made an entire unit plan based on kenji (like okay the actual author but STILL i love the character so much i did HOURS of #research on the author he's based off of!) supports that statement tehe #n e waysssss #thank you for indulging me!!! we have a snow day today so like i gots time tehe #and need some inspo bc i have SO MANY WIPS and want to work on them like gosh i wanna finish the tractor theft fic :( #thank youuuuuu #also my first impression for all bsd characters is about their voice actors btw lol #literally the fact that max mittelman played the lead is the reason why i started the show oiuygtfgyuhi #corey rambles:)
