archivist, i fear i am losing myself. i dream of godhood, of walking through into the horizon as the grass turns to gold beneath my feet, of walking forever as the birds circle above me, feathers flashing blue in the light. they have always followed me, and will follow me as i become something Else. i offer you the sun that drips from my skin like honey, and a phantom, unexplainable sweetness on my tongue, freely given, asking for nothing in return. may i have a safe name, to hold onto myself?

i was trying to think if i have more of an auditory or visual inner monologue, and i don't really have either i think, it's more like i just get The Essence Of Words? like, i definitely think in words, but there's no voice associated with them or anything

the funny thing is that my inner monologue does have a pitch, even without an actual sound to it, which i found out when one of my more masc headmates fronted for the first time and it was somehow lower despite still not having an actual sound. it's funky, but cool!

oh, that's interesting to me! i definitely "hear" the words with a voice associated with them, but i like, get it if you don't have a voice associated with it. and the fact that you definitely hear it as different pitches even if it's not a specific voice is also interesting to me (especially as a singlet who wouldn't have the perspective you do on this). brains are weird inner monologues are weird that's cool.

11: how'd you get the idea for your most recent wip?

current wip: pressure cracks au

I think I said to Rain something like "hey you know what would be really fucked up? if Bren/Caleb never failed his final test and if Fjord got his powers earlier and ended up going to the Academy and became a Volstrucker" and then it kind of. spiralled. from there

[inbetweenhours]

Based off  "this is the death of beauty" by @weareallstardustfallen on ao3 because I have been obsessed, reread it for the 4th time the other night which prompted this.

This fic is one of the best most profound descriptions of grief and loss I have ever read. I normally don’t read hurt/no comfort fics but if they’re up your ally I could not recommend this fic more. It is cathartic and  painful in its finality and I love it with all I can.  There is a way with words throughout the fic, but nothing struck me so deeply as the line I displaced in the art (paraphrasing a line previous for even a little context). It takes my breath every time (no pun intended) and legitimately wrecks me in how divine a line it is to carry the weight of Scotts feelings. How his mind is working in this moment. 

Anyways I won’t ramble on. Its a 3rd life 2 chapter fic following Scott recovering and his husbands body from Dogwarts following the first day of war, and brings him home (accompanied by Martyn). Just go read the fic <33 

[ID: A digital painting of 3rd life Smajor. He is kneeling in grass and upturned dirt, pulling at the grass with his fist. His eyes are red with tears, grief, and horror. The flowers in his hair are wilting. Its is dark night. There is text excerpts on top reading “Partway through, he makes the mistake of looking down,” and “‘He’s not going to be able to breath, Scott thought hysterically.” ]

Hi Halfa! What's 3 DC fics you'd think would be interesting to include DP characters/tropes into?

And what's 3 DP fics do you think'd be interesting to include DC characters/tropes into?

(This isn't a ploy to fish fic recs, psshhhhhhh, noooooooooo)

Hello Anon! :D Don't take this the wrong way but I am giddy with excitement right now because I've been talking about this with friends and I am just squealing now that I get to ramble about it.

Now just to clarify, I'll probably use tropes more so than specific fics, because for one, I don't want to step on any author's toes. And two, I like those fics as they are and do not want to dirty them with my grubby hands. However! I can still give fic recs so you can get an idea of the kind of AU I'm talking about here. lol Not that you're fishing for them ofc, no not at all

(Added a Read More because apparently I have a lot of fic recs. :D Total: 17 (if I mathed right, that is))

DC Fics, Now With a Splash of ectoplasm DP

Stray Tim AU

He's technically also known as Catlad, but like- I prefer Stray (as if that isn't obvious by my Stray!Danny AU XD), but that's neither here nor there. In this AU, if the name didn't explain enough, he apprentices underneath Selina as her apprentice. Depending on the author's choice, it's either as a young child or after he leaves the Batfamily for one reason or another.

An example of this AU: timcat by drakefeathers. This fic actually got recommended to me earlier today (you know who you are) and it is so cute. He is so baby and I love him.

2. Reverse Robins AU

Now this is an AU I've talked about frequently, but for good reason. There are so many ways you can write this idea- Hell, can you imagine a Demon Twins AU with Reverse Robins- Hold on a sec, let me add a WIP to my spreadsheet...

Okay, back. Anyways, where was I? Oh right, REVERSE ROBINS! In this AU, Damian is actually the oldest Batkid, and Dick is the youngest. Depending on the AU, Dick can even be an ex-Talon, so just keep that in mind~ Almost unanimously, Tim is the Batkid that died instead of Jason, and becomes the Red Hood (sometimes he was Joker Junior in this AU as well which is... uh. If you look into those fics, make sure you read the tags religiously.)

An example for this AU: and oh, my heart (how can i face you now?) by weareallstardustfallen. And this fic is *chef's kiss* It's in Damian's POV, it's a gloriously long one-shot. I cannot recommend this enough.

3. Jason Todd Goes Home

There are multiple interpretations you can do with this AU. Sometimes he doesn't become Red Hood, sometimes he doesn't get dipped in the Lazarus Pit, it all really depends on what you want to do with it. I've technically written a fic with this idea, where Danny actually finds Jason and helps him claw out of his grave, subsequently returning him home. That fic is what was lost, found again. Five chapters, completed.

There are fics where Tim actually finds Jason first! Here's one called best laid plans by Valkirin. Highly recommend. Tim finds Jason first but then the League of Assassins find them too. >:3

On a different, yet similar note, we have a fic where Talia is actually a decent person and brings Jason back??? After dunking him in a Pit??? You love to see it. This one is Verdant by Cerusee.

DP Fics Now With DC Packing

Field Trip to the Ghost Zone

There are a decent number of these fics out there if you know where to find them. I feel like this one is self-explanatory, but basically- Danny's class takes either a planned or impromptu trip to the Ghost Zone. Very rarely does his secret identity survive the fallout. Now imagine if we put Damian's class on the school bus.

Some Gothamite kid, probably: "I don't remember The Magic School Bus going like this."

Marsalias' (in)famous Mortified is definitely one of them up there. They actually wrote a second field trip fic not long after completing Mortified, which is called School Bus in the Ghost Zone. So if you're in the process of reading Mortified, or maybe you can't commit to a long-form fic right now, this one might be for you.

Deathcomes4u also has two field trip fics you can read. One of them was for this year's Phic Phight called The Gloves Are Off. He-larious fic, cannot get enough of it. Also includes some very fun DP headcanons! The second is called The Trip. You're gonna want to read the tags before you explore this one, but what's up so far a very thrilling read.

There is also Stranded With My Class, but this one is on FF.net so you might want to turn on ALL your adblockers before you venture into that site.

2. Death Day :3

I've written a chapter about this in lex luthor's ascent but it's part of a larger plot so I hope no one feels pressured to read it. But in general this fic idea can be very heavy, BE CAREFUL if you explore it. You can have DC characters react to Danny's death day, you can give Jason or Damian or Cass- or pretty much any resurrected DC character you like- a death day. Spread the whump and angst, that's how we show our love.

Here is an example, also from Deathcomes4u: Anniversary. I really enjoy how this author writes the background characters as well. It's got a splash of humor and the Everlasting Trio makes me all soft. :')

Death Day Evolution by gamma_radio has some great worldbuilding and lore added to the concept. I love how they tied Danny gets new powers in this fic, and you gotta love the Cryptid Danny Fenton energy. XD

3. Partial Identity Reveals

Now this one is more self-indulgent for me, but I'm allowed to do that. XD I would've put simply Cryptid Danny, but it encompasses a little more than that in most cases, which is why I kept this title for it instead.

These are fics where Danny is revealed or shown to be Off™ somewhat, but in most cases they don't know the full extent of his secret identity. Most of the time it's just his powers or that he's not fully human, what have you. I love a good bombastic identity reveal, you know, but something about the subtler ones are more inspirational, if you will. lol

I think this is the type of AU that would suit a Batman detective story much more, and allows the DC characters more time and interaction into this new world- if you will- rather than throwing them straight in it. Does that make sense? I hope that makes sense.

Shots Fired by RedGhost1010 is an exceptional fic (I believe this author is also the person who writes Stranded with My Class, mentioned earlier, just uses a different pen name on Ao3). However, please read the tags for it before you do. This fic can be triggering for some people. They also write what is probably my favorite Bad Parent Jack and Maddie fic, which is called Humans and Ghosts. Another one you probably should read the tags for. But please check out their other fics; I enjoy so many of them, but unfortunately not all of them fit this fic rec description. :\

Finally we have It's Like Time Stops by anthrop. I cannot tell you how many times I reread this fic way back when. It's a very tasty Outsider POV fic that gives a view into how things changed after the Accident, and it's a good study into how his classmates would have perceived it.

Whooo... that's a lot of fic recs. I hope you got some new things to read out of it at least! Have some fun, but make sure to take care of yourself and avoid the fics that just aren't for you. No one will blame you for it. <3

Oli are you fr rn?? Only one?? Who are you and what have you done with my boy? Are you okay?? I was prepared to have to do half the list!

6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?

I wouldn't say, "all the time." If I really love something I'll read it through several times in a row and then put it on a list to read again when I need to remember how to feel emotions. Some of the fics on that list are: Hide your Heart (StormChaosFox) Trust AU (TheYesterdayShow) As the Waves Crashed Overhead (MsDizzyDahlia) Colors and Promises (shinygaycomputer) Blue as Ice, Blue as the Sky (ImperialKatwala) From Darkness (HaroThar) This is the Death of Beauty (weareallstardustfallen) Never Assume Lest You Make an Ass Out of You and Me (MadeNondescript) Ut Fatigo Circa Cor Tuum (SpringFire1994) Happiness Does Not Wait (HobblyWobbly) Gods and the Mortals they Worship (Story_Teller_Of_Untold_Legends)

There are more, of course, but I can happily recommend binge reading and re-reading of all these.

Hermitcraft

Somewhere In Space by 2point5: Ren and Doc are travelling through outerspace, and Ren finds recorded messages from the other hermits around the ship. Strong sci-fi elements, sort of post-apocalyptic. Vague, cliff hanger-esque ending, the vibes are incredible. Words: 4356 Chapters: 1/1

monsters splitting hairs by Silverskye13: Fantasy AU, centered on Ren, Doc and Gem as monsters living a mountain town, keeping their less-than-human nature secret. All hermits mentioned, some more important than others. Love the worldbuilding and characterisation so much! Words: 63781 Chapters: 16/?

[silvercaptain24]

Do you have any Warriors fic recs? I like yours a lot, i was wondering if you have any favorite fics about him

*evil grin*

Yes, yes I do.

Through Fire We Soar by @echoing--stars is technically a series, but pretty much all the fics are Wars-centric. And it’s one of my personal favorites, I love it so much!!

When Desert Shadows Strike by lunettawolf321 on Ao3 is a fantastic Wars and Ledge piece, and the angst is absolutely delicious!!

Replacement by WriteandRead. Oh this one is so good! Lot of introspection and big brother Wars here.

Why don’t I feel better by weareallstardustfallen is also a really good Wars piece! Mind the tags though, because even in nightmares Cia is a creep.

Frostbite by herbalicious. Just- chefs kiss. I love it so much.

Finally (although I have more if ever wanted):

Canon Fever by Ammo_Writes! Shenanigans, an idiot not technically but still technically hiding injuries, and brotherly bickering. It’s amazing.

#asks and answers #anon!!! #linked universe #lu warriors #WHOOPS #though I posted this yesterday

[kelp-my-beloved]

Empires one-shot rec time

Listen, I live for one-shots. I also been really into Empires lately. So, you know where this is going. The recs are all from the first season, and below the keepreading, in no particular order:

watch the time go, by @weareallstardustfallen: “Can I ask you something?”"Sure.""So, you're immortal, right?"“Technically no, but close enough that the distinction doesn’t really matter.”“Do you ever wish that you, like… weren’t?” Or: Pixl, old immortal, sits with Jimmy, young one

Rating: G, Archive Warnings: NAWA, Words: 1676

This one is one of my favourites. It's focused on Pix and Jimmy's friendship, which there's never really enough fics about. It's part of an AU, but the reason I chose this one is beause I love how their dynamic plays out with the worldbuilding, and despite the topic manages to be soft and reasuring. Definetely recomend giving it a read.

Intertwined in mud and silt, by BirchWrites: "Now that Rivendell and the Cod Empire are officially allies, there's a ceremony that needs to be observed. Jimmy is perhaps a little more excited about it than he should be."

Rating: T, Archive Warnings: NAWA, Words: 2154

Where do I start with this one. The ceremony consist of Jimmy drowning Scott for his head, of course, and I just need to say. It's written so beautifuly. I know how it sounds, but the description of the ritual is so good, it was love at first read. There's Flower Husbands, of course, and you can feel it even as the drowning happens.

pov: your siblings are overprotective, by @daisy-mooon :"Gem is not having a good time after being frozen and corrupted, and mopes around her bedroom. Her siblings are there to cheer her up though"

Rating: G, Archive Warnings: NAWA, Words: 1030

Wither rose fam my beloved. This is so cute and fluffy. In this house we stand and cherish protective siblings, and this fic is exactly that. Plus, the siblings bickering between them makes this a really fun read. What else could you want?

defender of the people down below, by @infinitelysoordinary: "After that day, Pix will live on. He’s a constant, alongside the sun and the moon and the sea and the wind. He will remain. (That doesn’t mean that he won’t linger.)"

Rating: G, Archive Warnings: NAWA, Words: 1424

This one is a tad different than the other ones, but just as good. This is for the god!Pix enjoyers, and it's written so well. Give it a try, I promise it's more than worth it.

empty space, by @coveredinsun: "The manor is large (an illusion which appears to remain even after she has outgrown a child’s eyes) and it is empty, save for the workers which shuffle around wordlessly like timid apparitions. The walls are practically magnetic, which is why Gem finds herself clinging to them once the lanterns must light up the hallways as a pitiful substitute for safe, warm sunlight. Every once in a while Gem’s wings will suddenly graze the base of her spine; without a thought her breath will hitch and she will spin around to see who touched her. Each time she is met with the same thing: empty space and silence."

Rating: T, Archive Warnings: NAWA, Words: 4698

This time is roseblings my beloved. But seriously, the rosebling here is top notch. It's technically part of a series, but I did read it first before checking the rest. So it's probably fine. I know this is the longest of the fics, but it's totally worth it. This is definetely up there in my list of favourites.

Obligatory notes:

I did my best to tag the writers, that's what I saw people did when making this posts at least, but there are a few that I couldnt find, if they have a tumblr.

Feel free to add your own recs! I might do another one of these for multichaptered fics, or just a part two.

Okay... my mind is playing tricks on me. Was there or was there not a fic with a summary like 'Batman needs a Robin. Batman also needs a villain.' Where Tim doesn't become Robin after Jason dies???

Found it. It's 'when i saw my reflection (it was a stranger beneath my face)' by weareallstardustfallen. It's a reverse Robin au.
