fic rec friday 38

hello and welcome to fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.

only the dead have seen the end of war by @kartoffxl [MCD]

Lance must have seen something in Keith’s face, because his expression crumpled in anguish. “You… You love me back.” He put his head in his hands. “Oh my god. You loved me. You love me. This—This is so fucked up.” “Lance, I—” “Tell me I’m wrong.” There were tears in his eyes. “Tell me we didn’t just waste all those years being cowards.” Keith clenched his fists at his sides, still reeling from the whiplash of what he had just heard earlier. This can’t be happening. “Say it!” Lance pressed. “Say you don’t love me.” Please, his eyes begged. Keith and Lance finally figure out that they’re absolutely, undeniably, embarrassingly in love with each other, just not exactly in the best of circumstances.

okay so. this is. technically. one of the meaner fics im reccing. HOWEVER. it is gaspingly unbelievably beautifully and painfully written. even the summary kills me -- say you dont love me. im begging you. im begging you to lie to me right now. as we lay dying im begging you to have mercy on me and let me believe i didnt have a chance for beauty with you. im begging you to let me die with one regret instead of millions. please. please dont let me die being loved by you. LIKE WHAT

2. Toast to Freedom by @icypantherwrites

Keith is used to more than his fair share of dark looks. What he’s not used to is seeing those looks directed at Lance for no reason that he can determine and it’s making something uneasy settle in his stomach and the heavy press of the mantle of leader weigh even heavier as he should be doing something about it but he doesn’t know what. But causing a scene will upset the alliance they need and so Keith chooses to wait it out, to address it after the feast. He should never have waited.

will never ever in my life get over to 'i drank your poison because no suffering would be worse than watching it on you' not ever. it is always so so everything. and NO ONE does it like icy panther

3. Disjointed Soul by @icypantherwrites

Lance falls victim to a Soul Leecher, a dark spirit that is drawn to disjointed souls to steal them for itself. The Paladins must go into Lance's very soul to save him, uncovering truths about themselves and Lance in the process. Time is of the essence before Lance is lost forever. Good thing they have such helpful, adorable soul guides.

"Hi there baby Lance," Hunk greeted. "Ohwah," Lance burbled back. "¡Ohwah!" "Ohwah?" Pidge repeated. "I think he's saying "hola,'" Hunk grinned. "You know, "hello" in Spanish. Hola, baby Lance." "¡Ohwah! ¡Ohwah!"

this is one of THEEEE original insecure lance fics fr like it was the BLUEPRINT. 2018 there wasnt a langst loving soul who hadnt read this at least twice. its not too long for my dears w shoddy attention spans but its long enough to have quite a bit of substance!! team as family with communication and lance at the centre of it. what more do u want

4. Sleep Well, My Son by @icypantherwrites

A tiny accident becomes literal when Lance is turned into a child with no recollection from his older self. Coran has hopes the effects will be relatively short-term, but in the meantime he has a scared child that needs both reassurance and care. And while Coran might not have had the chance to be a father… he feels like one now.

look i love a good de aged lance fic and obviously when i was making these bookmarks i was scrolling my way thru the tag. and this one is especially amazing bc it is coran centred! this is a coran fic! this is a fic about quiet grief in the life you never got to live and acceptance for the life you have now and love for the people life has brought you!! it is about coran finding family through people who so desperately need it!! it is everything!!

5. Amigos by @icypantherwrites

A dangerous mission becomes even moreso when Lance is turned into a child with no recollection of his older self in the middle of it. Keith has never been good with kids and that certainly isn’t going to change now. Somehow though he’s got to convince Lance — who doesn’t speak a word of English and is staring at Keith with too wide, too scared of eyes — to come with him, get them both out of the Galran base now crawling with sentries alive, and then, assuming they get that far, figure out how to change Lance back.

shut up about the repeated author shut up about the same trope shut up about the. okay. i am a simple creature. i am annoying. i like to sit on my little armchair and open my little phone and read the same thing a million times. there is a Way to read fic and that way is to click on and scroll through a tag until you find a fic you like then scroll through that author and then go back to the tag and rinse and repeat. besides this fic is amazing okay i love klance but we rarely get platonic klance and its GOOD okay

that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

rewatching spn and i forgot how amazing the pilot is. setting up john as the father god-like figure who can never be found no matter how badly you want to see him...the jess/mary/woman in white parallels...the past comes back to haunt you and you will always look in the face of the very thing you are running away from...the reunion between dean and sam being as full of anger and grief as it is full of love..."you can't kill me i'm not unfaithful" "you will be" (they were insane for this btw)...dean using his 0.2 seconds of time before being arrested to warn sam...the last shot with the trunk closing. it's been said but spn pilot is truly theeee episode of all time.

#spn #supernatural #eric kripke just so you know i am kissing you on the mouth now and forever.#meta #*#wincest #dean/sam

I've been meaning to ask this for a while now but I could not remember your current username on either of your blogs lol

I don't know if you ever answered this but if you ever feel like, i would like to know what about andrew!peter specifically makes you... Hyped I guess? I just like your opinions and had time to catch up ur spidey au and got curious

lol this is actually such a funny question like i'm beyond myself that u asked but also i'm giggling a bit just bc i know u didn't expect my response lkdjflsdf. also wanna be crystal clear this is about the tasm movies and has nothing to do w my spidey fic lol

andrew garfield, for starters, is such a great actor. he was like 27, 28 when the first film came out but i think he did such a good job capturing what it's like to be just a regular teenager. i know his peter specifically gets a lot of hate for being too "cool" or "attractive" but the thing is. school isn't really like that is it. he wasn't a complete loser but he also was clearly not accepted in social circles bc looks and skateboards aren't everything. he was just a boy that's all he was and then when he got his powers instead of immediately using them for good he uses it to humiliate Flash. he's childish, impulsive, easily angered. he's not a hero. he's kind of a dick.

but the thing about andrew's peter is that he is always growing. and more importantly, he's growing because he faces consequences to his actions. he acts out with flash so ben can't pick up may. he selfishly chooses connors over his family and fights with ben. he's offended by the store clerk and refuses to help him. all of those contribute directly to ben dying. and the thing is. he doesn't even fully learn his lesson because the movie ends with him choosing gwen stacy (selfishly) because he's human!!!!!!!! he's come a long way. he's become a hero. but he has yet to learn sacrifice.

it ties in well i think with tobey's spidey in SM2 where he also undergoes such a powerful arc where he learns that as spider-man he can't have everything. he makes his peace with that without anyone getting too badly hurt, but andrew's peter learns that lesson the hard way because he also wasn't as willing to give things up as tobey was.

and this is all just about andrew!peter. which, by the way, is NOTHING without bringing up THEEEE gwen stacy.

look i know she's diff from the comics. i know she has a bit of MJ in her. but the thing is- she works. she works fabulously as a character and she's better than both, MJ in the raimiverse and MJ in the MCU because she's a fully fleshed out character. not only is it GREAT to see gwen have friends, family, ambitious outside of peter- it also really helps propel peter's own journey.

gwen's dad cares deeply for gwen. he wants his daughter- his child- to be safe so much so that he uses his last breath to ensure it. peter's entire motivation is to find a father figure in his life because he hasn't yet got to tobey's level of acknowledging ben parker but we move on and he wants what gwen has. gwen is a brilliant scientist and he needs her help with making the antidote. gwen isn't just a pretty thing on his arm, she's his partner- it makes her a real character and she grounds him, which is something peter in this universe absolutely NEEDS.

but that's all, of course, because of mr. marc webb. sorry for nerding out a bit but u cannot talk about why tasm works well despite what people say without bringing up marc webb of 500 days of summer, gifted, and only living boy in new york fame.

the man EXCELS in interpersonal relationships. he's absolutely undefeated in creating beautiful, complex dynamics which is exactly why tasm works!! was the lizard a bit strange? sure. was tasm 2 an absolute trainwreck of fucked up and superficial plotlines? ofc. HOWEVER. what was at the absolute heart of the films?

it's about peter and gwen. about how they fell in love when they knew better and it SHOWS!!!!!!!!!!!! webb uses this lens of like. an innocent teenage romance that everyone knows is dangerous-- he uses it to navigate what it means to be a hero in this world.

speaking of worlds. it did smth specifically to set itself apart from the prev. film. it's grounded in a reality. it's not campy, the vibe is very much that this could happen to you and me right here, where we stand. it's different! it's not a dystopian world; it's not aliens it's just- science, even if it's science too good to be true. i like that. im something of a sciene nerd myself. it does well for me.

and being rooted in our reality- it rly rly helps that they used these brilliant sets to shoot. that andrew garfield got to swing through nyc in his suit and that all the explosions and car crashes were real. it adds an extra layer of like. it just constantly grounds you i think. that's it.

unfortunately i can go on for even longer but i have to hit the gym so here's ur answer: i like andrew! peter bc he's entertaining. long answer: i like him because of the films he's in

#spidey #tasm #stevie #q&a #also if this is bait to be like 'ha why do u think ur au is any good compared to the films'#girl i know #i dont want to hear it lol

Birds of a Feather - Chapter 3 (700)

Cws for the whole fic: graphic depictions of abuse against family and children including physical, emotional abuse and manipulation, degredation, guilt tripping, love bombing, child neglect and children being shamed, food insecurity, lack of bodily autonomy due to being abused, violent men/father figures, invasions of privacy and stalkerish behaviour. I advise that people under age 15 don’t read this one as it does get quite disturbing.

Lemongrab’s room was much bigger than theirs, with a huge four poster bed that had heavy, draping curtains around it. Underneath it was the suitcase with Lemonhope’s, no, with Lemongrab’s old harp in it. He had a rocking chair in the corner and an ornate carved table by the wall, where his letter writing equipment was. Like the rest of the castle there were no windows so the room was lit entirely by a lemon shaped lamp, and by glow-worms kept in cages.

He picked up some clothes that were draped over the chair and tossed them over his shoulder blindly, causing them to totter about trying to catch them. “Take theeeese garments and model them for me-”

“Oh?!” They never got to wear anything other than the white version of his uniform. On the rare occasions he took them with him out of the castle they were forbidden to leave (which was for their protection. The outside world was a dangerous and judgemental place for a Lemongrab) they were amazed by all the different dresses the princesses wore. They tried to imagine what it felt like to feel the breeze on your legs and the flutter of fabric around you as you spun. They’d once sat at his writing desk and written a letter to the Princess asking her to send them a dress for their birthday, but she never replied. And she didn’t send them anything. It had been so long ago that they’d forgotten all about it, and resigned themselves to a life lived in their brother’s hand-me-downs. They held up the black jacket he’d tossed their way. “These are for me tooo wear?”

“I need to see what they will look like on me before I wear them toooo theeee political summit. Change.” he snapped his fingers in their face. “Now.”

Lemongrab looked around the room for a place to change. “May I go on the bed?”

“Why?”

“To change behind the curtain.”

“What? Why?”

They held the fabrics to their chest anxiously. “I do not want you to watch me.”

“I do not understand… you changed before me always with no complaint.” he grumbled. It was true, when they’d lived by the sea and shared a bedroom they’d had no issue with doing anything and everything with their brother, but that had been a long time ago. “We are the same body. We are both Lemongrab.” he sounded confused and even hurt.

“You have no secrets from me.”

It felt like a damnation, they wished they did have something that was theirs alone. “I do not want you to see.” they said quickly and climbed on the bed before he could protest. They pulled the curtain over, separating them with a wall of thick, opaque fabric. His bed smelled slightly musty, and lemony like himself. He hadn’t changed his sheets in a long time it seemed.

“Smells gross…” they thought, as they peeled off their uniform and folded it up. Their brothers clothes were a different, silkier fabric than his usual clothing. The shirt was bone white with ruffles going down the front, and the jacket had a clean, silky lining that it felt good to wear and move in.

They pulled back the curtain and climbed down off the bed.

“Hmm…” He took their jacket lapels in his hands and tugged the jacket from side to side, then inspected their sleeves. “Turn around-” he made a circular motion with his index finger, “-so Iii may see theee back.”

They didn’t like having their back to him, knowing he was inspecting them so closely. “Turn so I can seeee my side profile.”

Lemongrab stood facing the wall. He took their chin in his hand and swivelled their head around like a doll’s. Turning them this way and that so the room swivelled round with them. They looked only at the wall, and not into his eyes. He sighed. “I am so very ugly… ah well… The suit does nothing for me. I will wear my uniform. You may leave.”

They were silent, and didn’t move. Then they slowly turned their head to face him, with their eyes full of hurt. “You think I am ugly?”

“I think weee are both ugly.” he said dismissively, “Now go.”

Lemongrab picked up their clothes off the bed and left, not wanting to be told a third time.

#my writing #birds of a feather #shortest chapter is this one I think? anyway. lil moment between them.
