Fic Recs March '23
Some fic recs! Mostly going to be Dream SMP, but I wander outside the fandom ocassionally! If you ever want to see the longlist for this, you can keep an eye on my bookmarks on Ao3, but here's a short list of stuff that made me go Damn, that's just so fun/painful/good.
I'm gonna have to put this under a cut because dear god once you put all the tags in this is not that short of a short list.
The Fics
A Helping Hand by Because Plot Fandom: Dream SMP Rating: Teen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationship: Philza & Philza's Chat Tags: Philza's Chat is Made of Crows, Action/Adventure, Exploration, Nature, Near-Death, LightHearted Length: 1/1 chapters, 9,630 words
A young Phil gets adopted by some crows! Crows are smart, right? These crows seem— really smart. And kinda unnatural. And there are so many of them? I'm sure it's fine.
the breezy feeling of the faceless crush, by Odaigahara Fandom: Dream SMP Rating: Teen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Eret & Wilbur Soot Tags: AU - The Magnus Archives, Limbo, The Lonely, Beholding Avatar, Traitor Eret, Rescue Missions Length: 1/1 chapters, 3,862 words
Exceptional TMA fusion where Eret goes back for the man she betrayed. The creeping of all the avatars is so scary and the messy nuances of the wilbur & eret relationship and the weight of what eret has done is so well done.
best friends, by monsterloot Fandom: Dream SMP Rating: Teen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Tommyinnit & Tubbo Tags: Fluff, Humour, Not Really Character Death, Light Angst Length: 1/1 chapters, 1,667 words.
Tubbo is dying (he's not actually dying) and he summons Tommy to his bedside for a final request (he wants to troll him). Very fluffy and delightful, and great character voice.
The Last Takeout, by King_Dove Fandom: Dream SMP Rating: Teen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Captain Puffy/Niki Nihachu Tags: Bittersweet Ending, Complicated Relationships, Food, Emotional Hurt/Comfort Length: 1/1 chapters, 2,707 words
Ooooo messy relationships. Puffy takes Niki out for takout. It goes— not as bad as it might be. These women have so much baggage— but this could be the beginning of their reconciliation! Maybe! If we're lucky! They're trying! They care and they hurt. :sob:
Ranboo's Terrible No-Good Very Bad Hostage Situation, by Aard_Rinn Fandom: Dream SMP Rating: General Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Ranboo & Tubbo & Tommyinnit, Philza & Technoblade, Ranboo & Technoblade Tags: Misunderstandings, Hostage Situations, Fluff and Humour, Memory Loss, AU - Superheroes & Superpowers Length: Chapter 2 of 5, 5,371 words.
In a desperate attempt to negotiate with a supervillain (the crowfather) for the release of his friends, vigilante Ranboo decides to kidnap the blood god. It goes as well as you'd expect. This is just a really fun concept well pulled off, but I especially appreciate how benchtrio feels realistically young but not babied, and emduo is DANGEROUS. Love me a murderphil.
pick up your gun (put up those gloves), by Teahound Fandom: Hermitcraft SMP Rating: Gen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Grian & GoodTimesWithScar Tags: AU - Superheroes & Supervillains, Vigilante GoodTimesWithScar, Hero Grian, Enemies to Friends Length: 1/?, 2,159 words.
Hero Grian finds an injured HawkEye and has to deal with the fact that he Should arrest him, but he's hurt, and maybe he's helping... Exceptional character voice.
AITA For Kidnapping A Sixteen Year Old?, by Anonymous Fandom: Dream SMP Rating: Teen Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Dream & Tommyinnit, Wilbur Soot & Technoblade & Philza & Tommyinnit, Tubbo & Tommyinnit Tags: Kidnapping, Unreliable Narrator, Family Drama, Hurt/Comfort, Slow Burn, AU - Modern, Angst and Humour, Miscommunication, POV Multiple, Obsession Length: 22/60 chapters, 17,177 words
Written entirely as Reddit posts and comments. This one is just soooooo interesting as a form piece. It's not really crack treated seriously in anything but the form, cause once you're used to the form it's just an unsettling slow burn as you realize how unreliable your narrators might be and how people are missing information. I started it going "oh is this sympathetic [character]?" and then certain chapters hit and I went "oh noooooooooo" with eyes the size of saucers. Really interesting. Author has been going through it though.
Swan Song, by CodaAtTheEnd Fandom: Dream SMP Rating: Teen Warnings: Major Character Death Relationships: Technoblade & Philza Tags: AU - Witcher Fusion, Witch Curses, Witcher Technoblade, Cursed Philza, Angst, Wakes and Funerals Length: 1/1 chapters, 3,231 words.
*sounds of sobbing are hurt* It's a witcher AU and Phil is cursed and Technoblade tries to save him and nothing works and— *continued sobbing*
Blood End, by andthentherewere Fandom: Dream SMP Rating: Teen Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Wilbur Soot & Tommyinnit & Philza & Technoblade, Wilbur Soot & Tommyinnit, Technoblade & Philza Tags: AU - Vampires, AU - Post-apocolyptic, Coming of Age, Relgion, Road Trips, Kidnapping, Angst Length: 4/24 Chapters, 14,982 words
Tommy wants to go on a road trip with vampires, but fates (and everyone in town and also technoblade who is a vampire) won't let him. It's post-apocolyptic AND it's vampires— there is so much worldbuilding sunk into this one. Religions! Cultures! The shadows of cultures past! I automatically trusted the vampires because they're emduo and I have emduo brain, but was I right to do that? Who KNOWS
pov: me when I fucking Get You, by doingthewritethings Fandom: Dream SMP Rating: Teen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Quackity/Wilbur Soot, Wilbur Soot & Tommyinnit, Wilbur Soot & Technoblade, Quackity & Slimecicile Tags: Enemies to Lovers with a twist, Homoerotic rivalries, Student Government, I have read mangoball four times, Social Media, Chatfic, Asexual Wilbur Soot, Asexual Quackity, Not Actually Unrequited Love, Hijinks Shenanigans and all sorts of Tomfoolery Length: 1/1 chapters, 3,450 words.
This was the breakout fic of the 48 hour exchange because when I tell you this is hilarious, I am not joking. Oh my god. Quackity thinks he and Wil are enemies, Wil thinks he and Quackity are dating. They clash. It's a chat fic. It's a high school au. It's outstandingly funny.
Ghost Stories, by CodaAtTheEnd Fandom: Dream SMP Rating: Teen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Quackity/Jschlatt Tags: POV second person, Character Study, Unhealthy Relationships, Cannibalism Length: 1/1 Chapters, 1,713 words
Didnd't realise until I typed this out that it was second person, it just hits like a freight train. INCREDIBLE schlackity character study. I think I get it now. Does exactly what it sets out to do, finishes it in under 2k words, goes home. Mic drop.
The Dollhouse, by MawoftheMagnetar Fandom: Dream SMP, Hermitcraft SMP Characters: TommyInnit, Keralis, Xisumavoid, Docm77, Grian Mumbo Jumbo, xBCrafted, Rendog Rating: Teen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Tags: Atypical Hermit Tommy, Healing, Cosmic Horror, Body Horror, Tommyinnit is Fine, Eldritch Horror Keralis, DSMP is a TV Show Length: 10/20, 14,727 words
So this one is by MawoftheMagnetar so you KNOW Keralis is going to be there, but there's also a Tommy who's on the run from something (what's happening), mysterious monster hermits (what's happening), powerful and myserious forces that are controlling people (what is HAPPENING). It's super fun to see the monster designs for the hermits, Tommy was a star of his tv show but everyone was watching the show for side characters, I have no idea what's happening but I am SO here for the ride. Adderstones.
Ongoings that just completed
Sweeter Than Honey, by CleanLenins Fandom: Dream SMP Relationships: Technoblade & Philza, Skeppy & BadBoyHalo, Philza/MissTrixtin Rating: Teen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Tags: Dark SBI, Kid Technoblade, AU - Fae, Child Neglect, Manipulation, Kidnapping, Mind Manipulation, AU - Royalty, OCs Length: 6/6, 68,376
Okay now that I put those tags out there it looks much darker than the experience of reading this is most of the time. For MOST of it it's just fun times as young prince Technoblade, who is the cutest, is gradually lured away by the fae. Hmm okay maybe that plot is also dark. But come on now, Fae au. Anyways very cute Techno who I love so much, Fae Phil who is just here to cause problems and steal children (which honestly is just gainfully enployed and respectable when you're fae), extremely hateable OC family for Techno who get what's coming to them, beautiful descriptions of magic.
brittle body, brittle blood, by chrysalizzm Fandom: Dream SMP Relationships: Purpled & Sapnap, Purpled & Dream & Sapnap & Punz, Purpled & Wallibear Rating: Teen Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Tags: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, AU - Fantasy, War, Trauma, Religious Commentary, AU - Royalty, AU - Gods & Goddesses, PTSD, Angst with a Happy Ending, War, Grief/Mourning Length: 13/13 Chapters, 56,417 words
The fantastic Purpled revenge longfic with an entire invented religion and super-cool magic system. I can't overstate how cool the worldbuilding is. Purpled is a construct and a vigilante? Assassinations? I'm struggling not to spoil but mind control comes up at one point? Delightful exploration of revenge plots and recovery.
But you're not yourself (I know you better than you), by BecausePlot Fandom: Dream SMP Relationships: Wilbur Soot & Philza, Philza & Technoblade, Technoblade & Wilbur Soot & Philza Rating: Teen Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence Tags: Emotional Hurt Comfort, Fluff and Angst, AU - Canon Divergence, Pogtopia, Angst with a Happy Ending, Queerplatonic Relationships. Length: 11/11 chapters, 71,354 words.
A deep-dive into the Wilbur and Phil relationship as Wil grows up. As the author put it, this isn't Bad Dad Phil, but Phil is carrying his own trauma and Wil is a complex opinionated person and oof. Sometimes these things collide. It's the sort of messy exploration of that relationship that I have wanted for a long time, without villifying anyone involved. And thank goodness, a happy ending.
Non-Fic
Super Secret Important Meeting of Seriousness, by NegligentSum Fandom: Dream SMP Relationship: Niki & Ranboo & Philza & Technoblade Medium: Art Rating: No rating Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Just a wonderful syndicate tea part art drawn for the 48 hour exchange! This is uncoloured, but it's so full of detail, and I love all the guys so much. Everybody has unique teacups!
Start Again, by indulgentAnaesthetic Fandom: 3rd Life | Last Life Series Relationship: Bdubs/Ethoslab/ZombieCleo Medium: Animation Rating: Gen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
An incredible ANIMATION also made during the 48 hour exchange about traffic series ties. It's absolutely beautiful. I honestly didn't realize until I was typing this out it was shippy, I just went ueueueueueue the loyalties, so you can read it through a non-ship lens, but also if you ARE into clethubs, it's there.
DSMP Comics Fandom: Dream SMP Relationships: Dream SMP Ensemble Medium: Zine Rating: Teen Warnings: It's not on the archive but I'm gonna say no archive warnings apply, maybe some comic violence.
I was part of this one, but so were about twenty other people, so I feel justified in linking this one. Incredible interlocking series of comics, stories and art, doing a single slice of life in a city when everyone's powers are swapped, and what happens to the city's superheros and villains when they try to recover and fix things. So many cool POVs and story arcs.

hahaha im writing this as im working online, and while my doc said i shouldnt tire myself, i literally need to write this or im gonna burst.
this is more focused around the hermits and tommy's interactions before ghostinnit happened. also, the hermits here are the ones closest to tommy and also the most i could write at midnight and trying to fight off meds that mke me sleepy.
anyway, feel free to request any scenario or just tommy vibing with other hermits. i'll do my best to write it.
anyway, without further ado, i present a part of my hermit!tommy au that isnt angst, finally.

GRIAN
Tommy took to Grian like water off a duck's back. It didn't take long before both were wrecking havoc among the server.
For Grian's part, he takes one look at this tall gremlin, and practically adopts him. Gremlins of chaos should stay together, after all.
(He wants those haunted eyes of the newbie to be gone. He wants to help him just like Hermitcraft helped Grian in the aftermath of YHS and EVO.)
They start small, rearranging the contents of Lookie Lookie at My Bookie. Then they get pink carpets and covers the heart in Mumbo's base with it.
They grab baby Yoda from Scar again, and set up a treasure hunt filled with chicken canons and slime blocks in the most infuriating parts of the hunt.
(Grian introduces Poultry Man to Tommy, and then Pesky Bird is born.)
Tommy never thought he'd have any more brothers after DSMP happened, but here we are, with Tommy in full Pesky Bird attire, setting up a giant chicken above the Omega Tree and Grian—sorry, Poultry Man—makes poop made out of diorite until it touches one of the gigantic branches.
And, hey, if Iskall tried to stifle a grin as he complains at the laughing duo, then that's between him and his now-clean tree.
---
XISUMA
It wasn't Xisuma who actually emotionally adopted Tommy. No, no, it was Tommy who forced himself into the admin's life.
Tommy is a traumatized child from a server with a corrupt admin. A server with a fixed set of lives. A server with a ghost, with hybrids forced to hide themselves or limit themselves, or even cut off their extra appendages unless they want the admin to permanently kill them.
But Tommy is also smart. He started more than one nation, he led an army in more than one war, he fought two withers and came out alive, he's bled and died so much that he's lost count.
Tommy knows what corruption in a person looks like, but he also knows what a proper admin is.
(He has to thank SMPEarth for that, war-torn as it was. At least then, no admin abused their powers. At least then he could respawn and freely watch his dad Philza Minecraft soar in the sky with no care for the world.)
Because of this, Tommy can be seen around Xisuma if he isn't around his fellow gremlin. Tommy watched him tend to his bees, make more towers, make some redstone contraptions, and most importantly, learns about this unbelievable, utopic land that Tommy's found himself in.
When Tommy started making his starter base, he made it beside Xisuma's mega base. He tried to replicate the style of Xisuma's, and while not quite perfect, Xisuma hugs Tommy regardless.
(He's never be proud of his accomplishments before, no matter if he braided Techno's hair as a child, nor if he gave his most valuable possessions and a life to win a war.)
Xisuma, Tommy thinks, has been more of a father than what he remembers from Philza and his childhood.
---
ZOMBIECLEO
When Cleo managed to save Wilbur's coat, Tommy all but clings to her. In the DSMP, you can't trust anybody with your valuables, whether they offered to fix it or not.
Tommy took a leap here, to lend the coat to Cleo and praying to gods he didn't believe that she'll fix it instead of burning it.
(It's the only thing Tommy has of his family. Or, well, the only family he acknowledges. Wilbur was more of a father than Phil ever was, when they were children. Granted the bar was pretty low, but Tommy liked to cling to even the smallest bit of affection.)
Cleo smiles and teaches Tommy how to stitch and pose armour stands. Tommy isn't the best, with his sloppily made leather armour and wonky amour stand, but Cleo still praises him, and Tommy thinks it's the prettiest thing he's ever made.
Perfection isn't the point of this, anyway. Cleo taught Tommy, however unconsciously, to be patient and be proud of his own work. Tommy thanks her with two armour stands hand in hand at the entrance of her zoo, Cleo and Tommy's head on each of it. There are sloppily made copies of their outfits, even his coat's own stitches and Cleo's tears in her own clothes are there.
(Tommy eventually makes armour stand stories in a room dedicated to it in his mega base, later in the season. Cleo will unashamedly admit she shed a tear.)

renbo angst 🌺
Title: “Hot and Cold”- by Katy Perry
Au: Grian is an avian, Ren a werewolf. 
Warnings: Frost bite, mentions of prosthetic limbs
Cold. That was all Ren could feel. Cold, alone, and scared. He had been out collecting ice for a new project when a blizzard hit, and now he couldn’t see anything, even his communicator to call his boyfriend for help. Not that he’d want Mumbo to be out in this sort of weather either. He fell onto his knees, hardly able to feel his feet, hands, or his legs. His breath was coming out in short pants, his wolfish ears pressed his his head despite the fact he couldn’t feel those either. 
He shivered violently, reaching slowly into his bag to pull out his pickaxe, a flint and steel, anything. But his fingers wouldn’t move. He couldn’t grab onto anything. “F..Fuck.” He muttered, slowly going to stand back up. He pulled out a torch, letting it light up what little of the night he could see. He was amazed their wasn't any strays around yet, or maybe they too couldn’t see in this weather. He took only a few steps forward before he fell again, his legs trapped in too deep of snow. “Shit. Uh..” He stuttered, feeling cold set into his bones. 
He pulled his communicator up only a few inches to his face, his body feeling heavy and his fingers numb. He ended up handing to slap the damn thing with his entire hand, barely even pressing enough buttons to make sense of it. Ren felt himself starting to slip, his face colliding into the snow. 
Rendog has sent his coordinates
Mumbo groaned as his communicator went off for the third hundredth time, about ready to throw the damn thing off his arm until he saw it was a message from Ren, with just a set of coordinates. Odd. He frowned, messaging Grian. 
MumboJumbo>Grian: Hey man, Can you come help me? I think Ren might be in a bit of trouble. 
Grian>MumboJumbo: Oh of course! Just let me get some first aid stuff just in case.
That’s what lead Grian and Mumbo flying straight into a blizzard, flying over head above the clouds, unable to see the land under them. Mumbo looked at the Avian, who was starting to shiver in these temperatures. Oh yea, Grian was a tropical bird. He forgot. 
“Do you see him??” Grian called out. Mumbo looked at him. 
“Of course I don’t! The clouds are too thick to see through!” Mumbo said, checking his own coordinates in relation to Ren’s, before he gasped, stopping and turning back. “He should be right down here somewhere!” He called out, and Grian yelped as he quickly followed. “REN! REN??” Mambo yelled, hardly able to see anything in the heavy snow. He landed in snow with a heavy thud, and he groaned lowly. 
“Mumbo!” Grian yelped, helping the other man up on top of the snow. “His coordinates are a few blocks back.” He said, picking up the non avian and flying towards them. The two hermits gasped as they saw a blob in the snow, an unusually high stack of snow that was oddly Ren shaped. Grian let go of Mumbo, using a torch to keep as much visibility as he could.
Mumbo fell to his knees in the snow, digging his boyfriend out of it. His eyes widened a bit as the blizzard started to clear. “R..Ren..?” Mumbo practically whimpered. 
In front of him was a passed out Ren, his face dug into the snow and Mumbo assumed he couldn’t breathe. He picked up the frozen hermit, holding him close. “It’ll be okay Ren, I promise.” Mumbo said, Handing Ren over to Grian. He needed his hands to shoot off fireworks while they flew, and Grian didn’t. 
Grian grunted with the added weight, but held the werewolf princess style and nodding. “Void… He’s frozen to the bone.” He said softly. 
“I know, we have to get him into yours or my base.” Mumbo said, grabbing more rockets from his inventory; Aka a small bag they each had on their backs. What? Inventory sounds cooler than backpack. Anyways, he started off quickly, expecting Grian to follow him. He needed to get Ren home quickly, so the man didn’t freeze to death. 
~~
Ren could hear mumbling around him, his ears twitching softly. His face felt… wet. But at least warm. For a second it almost grossed him out, but then he realized he was covered in hot towels. He felt grass under his arms. Where was he? He still couldn’t feel his fingers, or his legs. “Hm?? Mumbo-?” He groaned, going to sit up. 
“Nonono! Don’t sit up!” Mumbo rushed over to him, forcing him to lay back down in the grass. They were out in front of Mumbo’s mega base. He saw it now. “We just started a fire, to help you warm up.” He looked down at his arms, those covered in towels as well. 
“So you mean to tell me. You first reaction to. To me being frozen. Was to let me sunbathe in the jungle?” He asked slowly, a fond grin pulling at his face. 
“W..Well yes.” Mumbo said, face flushing red. “It seemed like a good idea.” He added, sitting down beside Ren and helping him take off the towels. Once the towels were off his body he sat up again, looking down at his legs. He could see the black crawling up from his feet, and he practically whimpered at what he realized. 
“How are we gonna fix this?” He asked gently, thinking he would need prosthetic’s. 
“Well, Grian’s working on making a bath tub for ya, so hopefully we can get this healed up without needing to take a limb off. Thankfully, it was too cold over where you were for any infection to get in, and Grian and I were careful when it came to touching any dead skin.” Mumbo said calmly, and Ren nodded as Grian called them over. 
Ren yelped as he was scooped up into Mumbo’s arms, walking over towards Mumbo’s hobbit hole. Grian had cleared out a space behind the nether portal, a larger tub filled with swirling water. “Strip em down lover boy~!” Grian laughed, and Ren chuckled at him as he sat down. 
With some help from Mumbo and Grian, they got him stripped down to his underwear- Briefs if anyone wanted to know- and into the water. Ren sighed out of content, his tail wagging under the water. Mumbo grinned, and Grian walked out to leave the two alone. 
“You scared the crap outta me.” 
“I know babe.”
“You should’ve asked for someone to go with you.”
“I know, babe.” Ren grinned lazily, sinking further down into the water. “Bathe with me?” He asked. Mumbo rolled his eyes. 
“Its not a bath. Its hydrotherapy.” He said, rolling up his sleeves. He reached into the water, taking Ren by the hand and gently helping him flex his fingers Ren went to open his mouth, but Mumbo cut him off. “And yes. I Did learn this from Doc.” He huffed. Both men shared a laugh. 
“I’m sorry Baby, for being so stupid.” Ren sighed, and Mumbo chuckled. 
“We’re two halves of the same Idiot, I suppose.” Mumbo’s voice was soft and fond, sitting at the edge of the water. “You better hope I don’t have to make you prosthetic’s. It’ll be a testing nightmare.” He sighed. Ren gasped excitedly. 
“Mumbo Jumbo brand prosthetic’s??? Man, I may just have to ruin my legs for those!”
