more sterek fic recs - all completed

finally, some more sterek! enjoy :)

quiet perfection by hyperlittlenori - this is one of my favourite sterek fics ever, it's honestly one of the softest things i've ever read and it has me grinning from ear to ear every single time i read it. it's an AU with a deaf derek and a sign speaking stiles. they meet for the first time at the station and are instantly enamoured with each other. all i want is for this fic to become a series, i just want more of them.

chasing slumber by hyperlittlenori - another fic by this author! this is some of the most intense sterek smut i've ever read in my life, i literally forgot to breathe during it. the boys use sex to cope but it's a lot healthier than it sounds, i swear. there's also a lot of fluff, i love this one so much. this authors writing is immaculate.

from love not lust by hyperlittlenori - another one, i know! this one is just really simple and sweet. the boys fall in love through book annotations and it's so extremely soft. asexual derek is beautiful.

deaton's dream beans by thenerdnextdoor - a coffeeshop/bookstore AU! derek is a brooding hermit who owns a bookstore and stiles is an obnoxious but adorable barista who's trying to start a war with a rival coffee shop. this is such a fun story, with a tiny bit of angst and a whole lot of fluff. also, background thiam! i've read this multiple times, it's just so silly.

i ain't scared of your teeth by antisepticdork - stiles gets attacked by harpies, derek gets growly about it, they fall in like. this one is very much a 'monster of the week' fic, very chill and a bit goofy.

we've written volumes (in blood and scars and ink) by notthequiettype - stiles gets attacked by the alpha pack and derek nurses him back to health with a whole lotta werewolf healing mojo. solid banter, minor smut and a lot of fluff.

you saw me standing alone by orphan account - so obviously i like fics where stiles gets hurt and derek plays the sexy nurse, because here's another one! this is such a sweet fic, and the smut at the end is A+, slutty bottom derek is one of my favourite flavours of derek. he mewls, guys. mewls.

this is ridiculous by zosofi - a pining derek, a bloodthirsty, virgin killing unicorn and an oblivious, virginal stiles stilinski. this fic is so goofy and i love it.

warm shadows by stilinskisparkles - stiles gets hurt after another kidnapping and derek offers to help him out while he heals. a zero angst fic with some great banter and an evil peter hale thrown into the mix. these boys are so in love i wanna scream.

hear it in the silence by elisela - post season six fic where stiles and derek are best friends. stiles drags derek along on an impromptu road trip to escape the pressure of college and they realise they're in love along the way. such a romantic fic with top tier healthy communication, it's just a really beautiful story about falling in love with your best friend.

click here for part one of my sterek fic recs!

📖 Fic rec time! When you get this, reply with three fics that you've read and loved to pieces, then pass on to at least five other people who read fics. Let’s appreciate fic writers and their amazing stories 💖

i'm late - sorry. oh god, just three??

DANCING IN THE DARK | @arcielee | a tom bennett x ofc short story set during season 1 of world on fire. i am an avid lover of historical fictions, especially stories related to world war one and two - so reading DITD made me feel like i was reading one of the novels i just adore. arcie has such a way with using words and creating such beautiful compositions - it just makes your heart melt. the budding romance between tom and vera is *chef kiss*, and it being an open ending just makes you smile because you pray for a hea.

WE WERE SOMETHING DON'T YOU THINK SO? | @inthedayswhenlandswerefew | a ben hardy x ofc story. this is one of the fics that just comes to haunt me - in a good way. a historical fiction inspired by the russian revolution and the story of the romanov? sign me up. this was such a beautiful story, it makes you cry and hope for the oc and for ben. || another one that just struck me: HAVE YOU NO IDEA THAT YOU'RE IN DEEP?. a HOTD with aemond x reader. this one killed me and i think of it often because i'm still crying over it, but fck it was good. it's one of the stories that just sucks you in and makes you scream at the top of your lungs from all the emotional rollercoaster.

WOLF-HEART | @gemini-mama | a finan x ofc fic set during the time gap in season 2. this was such a great read - faoladhean has become one of the ocs i love so much. the multi-chaptered fic was written with such detail and with such careful descriptions, the relationship between finan and faoladhean blossomed so beautifully, i was completely smitten. and she has such strength and such love to give, i can't wait to see where the sequel goes. She-Wolf for the win.

i know it says 3, but i don't think i'll be getting another one, so i need to add more or i'mma explode.

CRIMES OF PASSION | @itbmojojoejo | RUNA. i love you. a take of 50's London with the tlk crew? a love triangle between between our ofc, sihtric and finan? fck yes. bring it on. mojo created an oc that just makes you wish you knew her in real life. she is wild - which i adore - and the pacing of the story, the characters, the dynamic. love it all. can't wait to see the ending. i know i will cry, i got tissues ready. RUNA. let's be friends?

A THOUSAND YEARS | @persephones-journey | a staple for finan x oc fics, this series was one of the first i stumbled upon when i started reading tlk fics and i immediately fell in love. the level of angst and passion these stories have - the relationship between finan and aisling, all their ups and downs - it has your heart doing somersaults in all kinds of direction. the level of dedication to expand this au is amazing and i love every word of it. aisling has become one of my fave ocs - a fiery character, hardheaded, stubborn and yet has such a big heart. i can't wait to see where her story goes.

FIRE IN HER EYES | @emilyhufflepufftlk | another tlk series, a beautiful love story between finan x lucinda. these stories broke my heart in so many ways and yet i could not get enough of them. i loved the story and development of the relationship between finan and lucinda and i also loved her sisters and the family they created - this was done beautifully and worth the heartache and tears. lucinda had such love from finan, her children and from everyone around her - you wished you were part of it all.

#ask game #there are so many more out there #all of them just WONDERFUL I WANNA CRY #i cheated i know #idc :3

HP Rec Fest, Day 31

Last day of @hprecfest and I AM NOT READY to say goodbye 😭 so sad to see this incredible coming to an end but also thrilled that I’ve had the chance to participate and found my reccing mojo again. Thank you @givereadersahug for this incredible initiative and to all the mods for for your hard work!!! Of course the last prompt is a banger, it was so hard to pick a fav amongst favs but to honour my commitment to rec fics that deserve more visibility I’m sharing two stunning works that showcase the beauty of short (3k) and medium (31k) form. No better way to close it out than reccing two stories that have been so very special for me ever since I first read them, and informed the way I see the ships and my respect for short-medium length. I can only hope this post will inspire more folks to check and experience these beauties by themselves. I hope you’ve had as much fun with the Rec Fest as I did! Wishing everyone a happy NYE and an amazing start to 2024 🥂

Day 31) a fav amongst favs:

Drarry

Still Life (orphaned, M, 3k)

No summary provided so I’ll quote:

if you’ve ever wondered if it’s possible to create a perfect short fic the answer is yes and the proof is right here. what a masterclass in short form! the gorgeous prose, the introspective tone, the slice-of-life atmosphere, the perfect pacing and unexpected ending - everything comes together so seamlessly it might feel casual at first but I promise it’s actually quite profound in meaning. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read Still Life and it still hits me in the solar plexus. every. fucking. time. Harry’s pov is a triumph, nuanced, hilariously oblivious and so charming as he navigates conflicting feelings about his growing attraction to Draco. it’s as if we are right there by his side, watching as he overanalyzes their casual-not-so-casual relationship and Draco’s not helping by being infuriatingly hot, tender and quirky (god what a compelling combo, and he has such brilliant lines too!). I am obsessed with their voices and with Harry’s mental gymnastics from horny denial to stunned resignation. this was such a transformative read for me because it’s one of the few fics that made my jaw drop with every paragraph, masterfully crafted to hit me right in the feels. by now I know by heart the lines that give me the “heartkick” - a physical reaction that makes my heart contract and expand with warmth at reading something that changes me in a permanent way. there’s nothing I could say to do this fic justice so I rest my case by stating that it’s a privilege to have the chance to read seefin’s works! what a legend.

Rare pair

A Fine Foray into Fashionable Fellatio by @wellhalesbells (Draco/Ron, E, 31.5k)

First comes tolerating, then comes shagging, then comes unintended consequences.

this is the fic that effectively and irreversibly pulled me into Dron 🪦 I remember being so completely mindblown and obsessed with this story that I immediately found 1824947 ways to mention and rec it every chance I got. holy shit, what a journey! before reading this fic I didn’t know it was possible to love them together and not even think about Harry. but here Ron and Draco are so fully realized, so well-matched in wit, charisma and personality I was promptly sold on the ship without ever comparing their dynamics to Drarry, after all Ron is so very different from Harry. this is quite the emotional rollercoaster, as chaotic, impulsive and intense as both characters; their chemistry and sexual tension are off the charts (the bathroom sex and smoke kink, my god!!!! 🥵) and the Mpreg plot works surprisingly well and in a very Dron way: jump head first, talk feelings later. love the mix of playful banter, horny smut and tentative sweet romance with a long-standing friendship in the background. this is such a FUN read and I really appreciate that the author took their time to develop both the plot and the characters, it certainly felt refreshing to me as I’m used to short rare pair fics. definitely a Dron classic that deserves to be read and reread many times!

Pregnant | Rafe Cameron x Maybank!reader *2 different endings below

Requested by anon / Summary: You’re pregnant with Rafe Cameron’s child.

A/N: so there is two alternate endings to this because I couldn’t chose which way to go.

Also, I got halfway done with writing this before something happened to my computer and it deleted it all :( so I had to rewrite and honestly the first was better than this one and I completely lost my mojo.

Go follow my fic rec blog! ---> @imaginationgonewild0912

**MASTERLIST**

Requests: {OPEN} closed

** Rules for Requesting **

** Who I Write For **

********************************************************************************************NOT MY GIF, CREDIT TO OWNERS

You knock on the large front door of tannyhill, shaking with nerves. You knew you weren’t supposed to be here. That was one of the rules for you and Rafe. You two were NOT allowed to show up at each other’s houses. You two had been dating for about 3 months and so far, had kept it under lock and key. How did the two of you, complete opposites come together? Well, that’s for another day.

Rafe answered the door with an annoyed look on his face, not expecting you, “What the hell are you doing here?” His eyes searched behind you for anyone who could have seen you. He didn’t even give you a chance to respond before he grabbed your arm, yanking you inside and shutting the door behind you.

“Rafe-okay ouch-”

He led you upstairs to his room and shut the door behind him, “You’re lucky my family went out on the boat today.”

You were nervous and sure your face had showed it, “Rafe I-”

He frowns at the look on your face, noticeably something was bothering you, “What’s wrong?” He leads you to the bed and sits you down, bending down in front of you, “Talk to me, baby.” He lays his hand softly on your knee.

Your hand shakes as you pull it from your pocket, handing it to him. Your eyes swell with tears, waiting for the blow up.

He slowly stands as he stares at the stick in his hand, “Um..”

“Rafe..”

“This is fucking positive.” His eyes meet yours, his hand holding the stick shaking.

“I know-” You stand as he throws the stick on the bed, running his hands through his hair. You were pregnant. With his child. His mind couldn’t wrap around the new information; this new life changing, life altering information. He couldn’t be a father. Not right now. He could barely even take care of himself.

“Rafe, what are we going to do?” Your bottom lip trembles as you fiddle nervously with your hands. You’re looking to him for answers, for a life saver, and he knows it. But right now he doesn’t have the answers.

“I can not be a father.” He looks to you and stares at you with fear in his eyes, “I can’t do it, y/n. I’m not ready.”

“You think I am? I’m not ready either.”

“Shit.” He curses sitting down and putting his head in his hands, “fuck fuck fuck!” You slowly sit next to him, silent as you let him mule over the news. You stare at your hands in your hands. How would the two of you do this if no one even knows about you?

“Okay.” He takes a deep breath and turns to face you, he can see you’re scared. His face mirrors yours, “We’re gonna make this work, alright?” He takes his hands in yours, “We will.”

It felt like a weight had been lifted off you. Rafe knew that’s what you needed to hear, “I’m sorry,” You let out a sob as every emotion comes to the surface. You were terrified.

“oh baby.” He sighs softly, taking you into his arms, “Don’t say you’re sorry. This wasn’t your fault.”

You’d gone to your first doctor’s appointment and did get the confirmation you were pregnant. Now, it was time to face the pogues and the wrath of your big brother.

“You realize he is going to kill me right?” Rafe asks as he drives down the driveway toward the chateau.

“Oh yeah. Definitely.” You nod and he gives you a look, making you laugh, “Look don’t worry, just hide behind me, he won’t hurt his pregnant little sister.”

He chuckles with a shake of his head, “Yes, hide behind the pregnant girl. Brownie points for taking it like a man.”

You shrug, munching on the chips in your hand, “I’m just saying. It’s always a back up.”

He puts the truck in park and exits the vehicle. As he rounds the truck to open your door, the rest of the pogues are exiting the chateau, wondering what the hell was Rafe Cameron doing here.

“What the hell are you doing here?” JJ yells out to Rafe.

You step out of the truck.

“And with my sister?”

Rafe lays a hand on your lower back as the two of you approach the pogues, “Long story short, Rafe and I are dating. Have been for 3 months.” You nonchalantly walk passed them and to the front porch, taking a seat on the couch.

“okay woah!,” JJ follows you.

“What the hell is going on.” Kie says.

“did she just say dating?” Pope asks.

“You think you can just walk past me with that info like it’s nothing?” JJ asks, stepping up on the porch.

“yup.” You nod, pulling Rafe down next to you. His arm goes behind you on the top of the couch.

JJ holds his hands out, “okay. What the fuck!”

You lean forward, “JJ do I need to speak slowly like we were when we were kids?”

JJ narrows his eyes at you, “No smart ass. I heard you. I just can’t comprehend the actual information.”

“Well comprehend it. We’ve been dating for 3 months.” You decide to let them get comfortable with the new information first before throwing the pregnancy in there.

“So, this changes the whole group dynamics.” Pope says.

“You do realize he’s been a dick to us for years right?” Kie asks, “Like tormented all of us?”

“Yes and when did it stop?” You ask. You can see they all are thinking back.

“3.. months ago.” John B states, realization hitting him.

“I was a child back then. I was stupid and immature and I’m sorry.” Rafe apologizes, earning scoffs from the group.

“Come on guys he’s trying.” You sigh, “You’re gonna have to get use to him. He isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.”

“Yeah right.” Kie says, “You can’t tell me you’re gonna go out and get married and be together forever.”

“He’ll eventually break up with you and we’ll be back to the usual torture.” JJ states.

“no he won’t.” You look to Rafe and he gives a nod.

“why are you so confident?” Pope asks, “There is a 90 % chance these fools are right. He’ll probably drop you in a week now that we know the two of you are dating.”

You slip the ultrasound photos out of your pocket, “I know because I am now carrying his baby.” You let the photos unfold in front of you and watch as everyone’s eyes widen.

JJ’s face turns red with anger, “Oh hell no!”

~ Second Alternate Fic/Ending? ~

“Rafe-okay ouch-”

He led you upstairs to his room and shut the door behind him, “You’re lucky my family went out on the boat today.”

You were nervous and sure your face had showed it, “Rafe I-”

Your hand shakes as you pull it from your pocket, handing it to him. Your eyes swell with tears, waiting for the blow up. He slowly stands as he stares at the stick in his hand, “Um..”

“Rafe..”

“This is fucking positive.” His eyes meet yours, his hand holding the stick shaking.

“I can not be a father.” He looks to you and stares at you with fear in his eyes, “I can’t do it, y/n. I’m not ready.”

“You think I am? I’m not ready either.”

“No one even knows we’re together.” His mind starts running with ideas, ones his only terrified mind would think of. “That.” He points to your belly, “Is not mine.” He nods, not thinking rationally.

You’d felt like he’d just hit you in the gut as you realize what is happening to you; what he is going to do. “You can’t be serious..”

“Oh,” He smiles a little, “I’m serious. You got pregnant from someone on your side of the island. No one would even believe you if you said me.” This is how he keeps his record clean, how he doesn’t have to become a father.

You couldn’t believe this was happening. Your whole world landed on your shoulders. This wasn’t the Rafe you’d come to know. This was the Rafe everyone else knew. “Rafe you can’t just abandon me. This is your baby and you know it.”

He shrugs and falls on his bed in a lounging position, shutting down the entire conversation.

You felt you were in a daze as you made your way out of the marble home and down the road toward the cut. You could feel your heart breaking with every step you took. How could he do this? This wasn’t him or the reaction you were expecting. He’d changed and he’d shown it to you.

Your hands shake as you pull your phone out of your pocket, dialing the person you knew you could count on.

“hey little sis,” JJ answered with a cheery voice. Any other time it would have put a smile on your face but as soon as you heard it, the wall broke and the sobs took over.

JJ shut the door to the spare room at the Chateau, the rest of the pogues waiting in the living room for him. He’d shown up with the rest of the pogues and brought your broken self back to the chateau. You’d crawled into bed and cried, finally spilling the beans and telling him everything about you and Rafe.

You actually couldn’t believe how calm he was. It scared you. He sat next to you on the bed and listened, holding in every emotion he had. Especially the urge to kill rafe himself. He knew he needed to be there for you more than anything now.

“Is she ok?” John B asks.

“What happened?” Kie asks.

JJ sits in the chair running his hands through his blond hair, “She.. uh..” He looks up to his friends, “She’s pregnant.” His friends mouths drop open, “What?”

“No,” He chuckles, “get this.” He stands laughing again in disbelief, “It’s Rafe Cameron’s.”

Comments likes and reblogs are always greatly appreciated and thank you for reading! xx

Fic authors self-rec!

Fic authors self-rec! ✨ When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers ❤️

Thanks for the tag @merlins-sequined-hotpants, @ashesandhackles and @leogichidaa

I've actually been down on myself about my writing (hence trying to get my mojo back with drabbles) and this is such a lovely way to remind myself of things I love xxx

The Seven Names of Mrs Zabini

Black-widow, whore, murderer are all words which are synonymous with the infamous Mrs Zabini.

But who is the woman behind the legend?

From her humble beginnings in Rimini, to her education at Beauxbatons and multiple marriages, this is her tale, in her own words.

IMO this fic contains some of my best writing. Even over a year later, I am so proud of it.

2. Portrait of a Lady

Walburga Black had many roles during her life: mother, wife, daughter.

But most importantly she was a Black.

This is the story of the woman behind the portrait.

Morally grey women are my thing and I loved fleshing out Walburga and her motivations for having the portrait commissioned.

3. Sirius Black's guide to using an extraordinarily intelligent cat to order a broom

I love Crookfoot and I also really enjoyed the opportunity to explore Sirius's sense of humour.

4. The Clock

Sirius goes into Orion's study and finds more than he bargained for.

I wrote this as a catharsis for my own grief.

5. Sirius Black and the Goblet of Freud.

Set in the Dog and Deer AU where Voldemort is never born.

Insert contrived situation where Dumbledore has forced Walburga and Sirius Black into therapy.

And after three months it's not going well.

I loved writing this. Dr Jones is my second fave OC. Also this is my first complete multi-chapter.

Tagging: @celestemagnoliathewriter, @mariekavanagh @annabtg @blitheringmcgonagall and @narcissa-black-supermacy

Oh you are in for a treat. My 2024 gift for you Dani is Jeff Buckley.

*rubs hands together* let's begin! The following are my recommendations to initiate Jeff's magic.

1. Lover, you should've come over.

2. Eternal Life.

3. Last Goodbye (I feel like Theia will enjoy this. Plus a GREAT! Post-healthy-break up song imo.)

4. So Real. (I can't even. This is a masterpiece for me.)

5. Grace. (Fucking hell.)

6. Lilac wine. (Get ready to be blushed)

7. Forget Her (not my fav, but I like it)

8. All Flowers in time feat. Elizabeth Fraser (this is my all time favorite. I fantasize singing a duet with my lover. Always makes me gooey and smiley. Plus, a good rec for BlackBane)

Gurl!! I am so excited for you. Lemme know which other songs of his you like. I am so excited. My bff from medschool introduced me to Jeff, and I individually found many gems of his work. *Squeal*.

Okay. I REALLY like him. Also, most of his songs gave me Lance vibes. I also like all his songs are 5-6 minutes long. HE GETS IT.

Thanks for all the recs! Here are my faves. 💙

Lover, you should've come over - Top fave. Really liked this one. Definitely a top fave. It gave me Lance/Blackbane vibes. I loved the vibes!

Last Goodbye - The lyrics were very nice - and angsty hehe. This was so Blackbane and Arcaid coded omg.

Lilac wine - Second fave. Really liked the subtle flirty vibes of this and it reminded me of IALS David for some reason. Especially the line “I drink much more than I ought to drink because it brings me back to you”

All Flowers in time - I liked the duet. Need more duets of him with women…or men.

I Know it's Over - Third fave. Also, omg, Kincaid and Victoria 🥺(added to playlist too)

You & I - The emotion in this was something else bro.

Mojo pin - THE VOCALS >>>

Additional ones I liked -

I want someone badly - Fourth fave. Loved the vibes. Very David too.

Hallelujah - I’m a whore for a classic. You know that. This version is so so so good.

Mama, You've Been On My Mind - Idk man this one got me in my feels a little bit. What kind of mommy issues does this man have because the song are HITTING me.

The Boy with the Thorn in His Side - I like the guitar in this one. Nice feels.

Je N'en Connais Pas La Fin - Ummmm. Have you heard this? I loved it! Also the French...

Thank you for sharing your fave music with me. It always means so much 🧡

@mayloma - This may be the oddest birthday celebration ever.

A) It's me giving, not receiving and B) It's not about HC.

But you made a comment and I have free time, so I'm going to try to gather up a few TLK posts and recs for you.

I'm not sure if you are looking for canon, AU's, fix-it, etc, or who your main blorbos are. If it's not apparent from anything you've seen on my dash, Finan has my heart with Sihtric in close second place. I never read the books, so all my knowledge comes from the show.

Because I'm not very active in TLK anymore, I don't really know who is still here, writing, etc. You know how it goes when fandom flames dwindle on one or the other side...

Under the cut to save those who aren't here for it.

Finan

You've already seen me rec where our pieces fall in place, (not that I'll pass up an opportunity to rec it again), but I'll also draw your attention to this sweet little number by @anotherwinchesterfangirl showing Finan falling for Ingrith: watch her take me by surprise Liz isn't around Tumblr much anymore at all, and her tastes skew away from TLK more often than not, but it's a nice little treat.

Need more Finan, but maybe with Eadith this time? @superprincesspea has Winchester's Finest (that he is), @emilyhufflepufftlk has all you had to do was stay, and Jade_Masquerade on AO3 has the alter is my hips (anyone recognize that phrase? yeah, it's so good).

Finan and Reader? @lady-writes20 has We Are Bound, @i-jus-wanna-writehappy has Handful.

Finan and OC? @lauwrite1225 gave us stuck between our heartbeats (Tumblr link to AO3) and @magravenwrites has A Good Place To Start, while @persephones-journey jumped him forward in time with As The Gods Make It.

Sihtric

Sihtic more to your liking? @solinarimoon fed that need for me with Liquid Courage and her Wildflowers Series

Back to Both I Guess?

I can't leave out this LOVE I left for some of the TLK crew last year.

And, last, but certainly not least, is @itbmojojoejo. Mojo is a little bit of a double threat because she is a GIF creator (and re-capturing ALL of Finan's scenes one episode at a time and I drown in drool a little bit every time she posts over on @mojosdumpingground) AND she has created this amazing and wonderful Mafia!AU with an OC in a bit of a love triangle with Finan and Sihtric and I'm really really really hoping the muse is waking up to help her finish this series: Crimes of Passion. I need to know who she ends up with!!!

Okay, like I said: Happy Birthday to me.

#VC Self Rec Sunday

Thank you @bubblegum-blackwood for tagging me!

Walking Mojo was a lot of fun to write! I love animals, so I tend to mention Mojo in a lot of my fics. I began with wondering who would take care of Mojo when Lestat just up and decides to take off at 3 a.m. My answer was, of course, Louis. Louis would also be awake, and never goes anywhere. Who better?

But they would each have different styles of pet parenting, and how would that work? I wanted to show things from Mojo's perspective, but first person Mojo would not work. (Yes, I tried it for about five sentences. Disaster! 🤣)

I settled on the first time Louis dogsits Mojo. Then following Lestat as he takes Mojo for a walk after returning from his adventure.

It has the most kudos on AO3, so that's why I decided to rec it this week! If you decide to try it, I hope you enjoy it!

I tag @nalyra-dreaming @translouisdpdl @licncourt @saintrayne @rebnessfic @apoptoses @ladyvampir3 @faerywhimsy and anyone else who wants to do it!

#vc self rec sunday #fic recs #vampire chronicles #vampire chronicles fan fic #louis de pointe du lac fan art #loustat #lestat de lioncourt #vcselfrecsunday

Fic Finder

~*~

1. hi im trying to find this fic i remember it being a hurt no comfort were instead of mxy sacrificing his like to bring wwx back its lwj who does it and lwj does it somewhere during those 13 years instead of after then theres this scene where wwx wakes up and lxc enters and said some similar to "he actually did it"

not FOUND 若有来世，你还愿意吗; if there is an afterlife, are you still willing? by luyepiaofeng (T, 5k, wangxian, major character death, hurt no comfort, angst, self-sacrifice, rituals)

FOUND! for you, all for you「给你, 都给你」 by headBONDmeLWJ (T, 3k, wangxian, LXC & LWJ, major character death, canon divergence, angst, hurt/comfort)

not FOUND it's torture (being in love) by ryneisaterriblefan (Not rated, <1k, major character death, heavy angst, hurt no comfort, angst & feels)

~*~

2. Hi!I have been looking for this fic for forever and keep trying to back through tags and posts, but am having no luck! I know I read it from your tumble quite a long time ago, when I was first getting into reading in the fandom and going through the blog to find recs. It’s set before WWX comes back, and it is LWJ and JC getting in some kind of fight during a cultivation world conference or something?

I am 98% sure it was LSZ point of view, and what I remember most clearly is that JC makes some kind of comment and all of a sudden LWJ just straight up decks him or something along those lines? I remember that LSZ (and everyone else) was so shocked that LWJ would do something like that no one really knows how to react. Any help would be greatly appreciated! This blog is amazing and I cannot tell you how many wonderful fics I have found and loved because of it!

FOUND? Better than a Mouthful of Blood by mondengel (T, 1k, gen)

~*~

3. Hi, I'm looking for a fic whereby Wèi Wúxiàn and Jīang Chéng slowly reconcile and towards the end Wèi Wúxiàn was injured. They had a healer in training under an older Jīang healer which turns out to be Wen Qing. In the end there was a golden core transfer from Jīang Chéng to Wèi Wúxiàn and it becomes a shared golden core.

FOUND?💖 Twelve Moons and a Fortnight series by stiltonbasket (M, wangxian, 478k, Mojo’s post)

~*~

5. Heyo! If it's not too much trouble, I'm hoping the lovely mods and your detectives will be able to find two fics for me.

A) There's a part where WWX reminds LWJ of a point during the Sunshot Campaign where they all had to camp put in a brothel. LXC was fairly embarrassed, but NMJ pointed out there were no prostitutes there at the time (think the roof had come down or something).

B) At one point WWX remembers how as a child he once put a cushion up his shirt pretending to be pregnant and got told off by his teacher. At home Yu Ziyuan said something like 'Why can't Wei Ying be a mom?' and let he and Yanli play house. Jiang Fengmian also showed little WWX how to fold a blanket as a baby sling. Sorry for the rambling, and thank you all in advance!

5A)

It's simalar to: The Ribbon Incident (and how to fix it) by esk95, WWX finds out about the meaning of the forehead ribbon after he tore it off at the archery competition. The difference is that it wasn't LXC to tell him about the meaning, I can't exactly really remember who it was but I think it was either JYL or JC and he was at Lotus Pier when he foud out.

Thank you for everything you do!I’m looking for a fic I read that was complete by spring 2020. It was a longer fic, modern AU, in which wwx baked things and gifted them to people as part of his social media presence and to brighten people’s days. I think he got hired to teach either LXC or JGY how to bake so that they could bake something for the other one in order to ask him out? It also might have been a coffee shop au in which Lotus Pier was a coffee shop and the Wens were trying to buy it?

Thank you very much for everything you do!

~*~

12. I'm looking for a fic I read years ago where LWJ accidentally time travels back to student days and is trying to figure out what to do about the upcoming series of disasters. LXC takes one look at him and goes: what happened? it was that bad? how could something that bad have happened without me knowing about it too? was it time travel? it must have been time travel. At least we now know what needs to be fixed! And meanwhile LWJ hasn't said anything at all and LXC is just going off his unintentional micro expressions. @marbleglove

I hope you are doing well :) I would like to ask for your help finding a story, I think you recommended it before, but don't remember enough to find it myself (could also be I read it on twt). It was a modern au, I just remember WWX was in love with LWJ since school, he even wrote a letter and hid it in one of LWJ's books, because he always checked what WWX gave hom back, but not that time, he actually never finds the letter. I think they meet in college as roomates. Do you know it?

I just remember this specific scene where theyre camping outside Cloud Recesses after being denied entry, and JYL and JC are worried about WWX's pain from sleeping outside overnight, and help him when he almost can't move from pain in the morning.

I would really appreciate your help in finding it! @shieldherostuffs

⭐️ for Gasoline and Spin! (two of my favs)

Gasoline is something that I started writing for a different fandom, about a billion years ago, and for some reason it suddenly gave me Klaroline vibes. I love a good musicians AU, so there's also that, and the idea of exploring a very messy side of Caroline and that relationship was something that enjoyed a lot. They're both extremely screwed up in the head in that setting, but Klaus fakes it better, while Caroline soldiers on by being extremely focused and disciplined, but she didn't get the clean cut she wishes she did, and it shows how much that affects her. I was originally going to write it as a long multi-chap, had the whole thing planned out. It was a bit of an ensemble story, where other characters would get their own development and so on, but I totally lost my mojo and then posted it as a one shot only, because I really liked that first chapter and I felt it worked anyway. But then @definedareasofuncertainty (she's behind everything, always lol) asked me to write a sequel and I decided to give it to her a birthday gift (I'm such a lame friend tbh 🥲), and so I had to include smut, because she's always calling me names for my fade to blacks 🥲

I like the open ending tbh, the idea that they can face the fact neither of them is completely happy and they have all this resentment for each other, but that there is no easy fix because they simply want different things from life. I was very particular about how I thought Klaus would be the ~~~softer part in this finale, because that's what he's like when he's with Caroline. He understands her needs, allows her to rage and scream, and always leaves the ball in her court. She's the one who makes the important moves. And so in that moment, he's just giving her what she needs, which is a closure of sorts and a promise that, maybe, further down the road, they'll finally be on the same page. It's all about timing and how bittersweet and heartbreaking it can be.

As for Spin - honestly, I love Spin. 😂 If I had to rec one of my fics to people, Spin would probably be top 3. I draw a lot of inspiration from my obsession of the day, and this was when I was watching The Politician like a mad person. The whole high school lovers to rivals had me by the throat (even though on the show it's actually very sad and depressing, in spire of the general insanity).

Again, it's an opportunity to have Klaus be a major little shit while also being a sucker for Caroline. I just think this story has so many aspects of them that I love. The bickering, the rivalry, the bitterness. The occasional betrayal. Klaus looking at Caroline like the sun shines out of her eyes, believing in her when everyone else just sort of roll their eyes. The Steroline relationship that is phony and convenient but lacking in everything. Klaus being propelled into impulsive, erratic behavior because of his family. The two of them finding a measure of comfort and understanding in each other, which is the last thing they could've expected.

I don't know, man, I just love them in this. 😂 Maybe it's just me, but I feel like it's a very well-rounded fic that adapts their dynamic well into a high school AU. I wish I could write more fics like that tbh.

Rewind 2023 - Part II

WangxianFicRecs - Rewind 2023

Here is part two of our favourite stories published in 2023! Reminder that if you also want to give a shout-out to a story, submit an ask and we will share it in an upcoming post featuring Follower Recs and Proud Author Spotlights.

Part I

~*~

the dream of the fisherman's husband

by luckymarrow (@luckymarrow)

E, 5k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: “Really? Are you fucking with me? Once for yes, twice for no.” Two taps. Wei Ying scrambles from his desk and over to the tank, presses his face right against the glass. “Was Wen Ning right?” he whispers. His breath fogs the glass. “Are you our new cephalopod overlords?” Once again, the little blue and white octopus taps twice against the glass. Wei Ying goggles. Then it taps a sequence against the glass. But Wei Ying has worked on enough expedition ships to know Morse code, or at least the most important code of all—SOS. This little octopus needs help.

~*~

New Perspective

by mrcformoso (@mrcformoso)

T, Series, 34k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary Part One: “Lan Zhan, let me go.” The last memory Lan Zhan has of Wei Ying was the soft, serene smile on his face as he fell to his death. It was, perhaps, what haunted him the most. When it came to the matters regarding Wei Ying, Lan Zhan was always too late. A character study looking into Lan Zhan’s character development between Wei Ying’s death and resurrection, and his struggles of changing in the wake of his newfound fatherhood.

~*~

The Art of Communication

by mrcformoso (@mrcformoso)

G, 4k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Lan Zhan can only say so much before the words get caught in his throat. He has long learned how to use his words sparingly, how to build enough of a reputation to minimize the use of words, has learned to hide behind little grunts and pointed looks. In contrast, Wei Ying never seemed to run out of words, speaking often and quickly, whatever was on his mind, mumbling equations and theories and his own thoughts as if he had a word quota to meet and exceed on a daily basis. So the Gusu University students found it rightfully strange that the two were dating. Chapter 1: Outsiders POV Chapter 2: Lan Zhan POV Chapter 3: Wei Ying POV

~*~

❤️ Across the street to another life

by danegen (@danegen)

M, 99k, Wangxian | Kay's & Mojo's Rec

Summary: Wangji stays on the piano bench as they’re closing up. Wei Ying chews his lip, knowing what he’s going to do but horrified at himself. But what’s the alternative: kick the guy out and find him sleeping beside the dumpster in the morning? And that’s if the cops don’t take him in for vagrancy. “Wangji?” Wangji looks up. Please don’t be a serial killer. “So, we’re closing up for the night, but A-Yuan and I live upstairs. Do you want to join us for dinner?” Wangji blinks. His head bobs in what’s probably a yes. “Great!” Fuck. Or a ragged monosyllabic man wearing a collar shows up at Wei Ying's music store. Wei Ying and A-Yuan ask, is anyone going to adopt this guy? And then they don't wait for an answer.

~*~

💙 Concord

by Deastar (@youhideastar)

T, 41k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Lan Wangji hopes, somewhat frivolously, that his betrothed might find him an acceptable companion. Neither he nor Wei Wuxian are able to bear children, so there will be no need to share a marital bed; that should make it easier for the two of them to reach a natural, comfortable equilibrium. Two strings played in harmony: this is Lan Wangji’s quiet hope, as he arranges the Jingshi to accommodate a second inhabitant. Perhaps, he thinks, they might even become friends.

~*~

silk linked together

by theLoyalRoyalGuard

G, 6k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Lan Wangji runs a sanctuary for rescued bunnies. His life is quiet and routine. Until Mo Xuanyu needs a place to stay out of trouble. He doesn’t expect to end up rescuing him, too.

~*~

Making Mouths at Dragons

by athena_crikey

E, 10, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Wei Ying takes a slow breath, then another. “Then you’d want… that? A baby? A kid?” Lan Zhan’s low rumble has a hint of dragon in it, a lick of thunder. For a moment Wei Ying can almost hear the rush of the tide in his ears, storms and seafoam. His mind is full of the glint of moonlight on scales, silver and rippling like silk. “With you? Yes.”

~*~

Behind the Scenes

by QueenXIV

E, 5k, NMJ/LWJ | Kay's Rec

Summary: Nie Mingjue felt dirty. Horrible. He had paid to see his best friend's didi fuck himself with a dildo. He had jerked off to it. He had liked it. He was fucked.

~*~

Playing Possum

by DizziDreams (@dizzi-dreams)

T, 1k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Lan Wangji is woken in the night by the sound of animals fighting, and there is more to the opossum he rescues than there seems.

~*~

Once-body

by ByCandlelight

M, 10k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Years after he was disowned by the Jiangs, Wei Ying lives a quiet life working at a funeral home. Then he reencounters his former high school classmate Lan Zhan, who is planning his father’s cremation. Wei Ying won’t pass up the chance to get closer to his former crush, but first he has to hide all the brains in his freezer.

~*~

Lessons in Belonging

by Nyatci (@nyatci)

M, 12, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Lan Zhan looks back at various moments during the years and thinks about the emotional wounds caused by Wei Ying’s adoptive family. Or alternatively: 5 times Lan Zhan worried about Wei Ying and 1 time he realized he didn’t have to worry anymore.

~*~

Jin Ling and Demonic Cultivation

by ImNobody122 (@colorsunlikeanythingseen)

Not rated, 8k, Jin Ling | Kay's Rec

Summary: Mo Xuanyu was not the first demonic cultivator Jin Ling had to rescue from his uncle's hands.

~*~

mother of mothers

by SpeedingCheetah

T, 11k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary:There was a girl in Gusu, who played the flute and sung songs to the fish in the rivers as townspeople let her sit on their boats; stirring away and humming. There was a girl who smiled, who had a blood red ribbon and blood red eyes. The girl was a boy who was not alive. A ghost who stayed in the city because his mother made him promise. He seemed happy enough anyway, coming to the docks, coming to the paths. He bought apples, he spoke Gusu’s dialect in a rustic tongue that was many, many years out of date—ancient, prosperous. Only a few elders understood the clicking accent the way Wuxian spoke it. He was Lan Wangji’s sole companion. He was also the being who had been cursed many years ago to never wake up, and never live. Lan Wangji wished to help fix that. (or: cangse sanren’s child is a ghost of nature, and cursed to sleep forever. a boy still makes friends with the ghost anyway.)

~*~

exit, pursued by fierce corpse

by hauntedotamatone (@hauntotamatone)

Not rated, 4k, WWX & WN | Kay's Rec

Summary: “The Jin clan of Lanling is rich beyond rich,” The second boy whispers, or rather, attempts to whisper. “If we bring them the head of the Yiling Laozu, they’ll have no choice but to reward us!” It’s quite a stupid endeavor, especially for three, unarmed, young masters whose knowledge of combat and heroism likely comes from playhouses alone. - “Wei-gongzi,” Wen Ning whispers, barely louder than the sound of a person breathing and all the more striking when it comes from one who does not. His face is still, the undisturbed waters of a pond, but there is something in his eyes that reminds him of brightness, the shine of a dragonfly skimming the water. - alternatively; wen qionglin, the method actor.

~*~

If I had to keep being separated from you like this (I'd rather die)

by katje

E, 30k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: “So, you’re here to become my blood thrall, are you?” Mr. Wei finally turned, and Lan Wangji had to fight to swallow the gasp that tried to escape his throat. He was beautiful. His long, pitch-black hair was pulled into a ponytail that flowed in smooth waves over his shoulder, and he was clad in a red dress shirt that was buttoned only halfway up his chest, exposing his sharp collar bones and a hint of the smooth skin of his torso. He was pale - too pale. And he had the most striking grey eyes Lan Wangji had ever seen. Eyes that immediately betrayed him as a nonhuman. As a cold, powerful, immortal vampire that Lan Wangji was about to sell himself to. OR Lan Wangji enters into a contract to become Wei Wuxian's blood thrall to save his uncle, and finds more than a heartless vampire at the end of the deal.

~*~

fracture fix

by phosphorous

G, 5k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: What he did not say: I don’t want to be anywhere in this world where you aren’t. I want to know you inside out. I want to know you forever. I want you to know me inside out and I want you to know me forever too. I am a burden. But I am yours. I want to be yours, for as long as you will have me. “I love you, Lan Zhan,” he had said instead. It had ebbed and flowed in the space over their heads like tides in a river. Eventually, it had settled. Eventually, it had stayed.

~*~

What Dreams May Come

by Admiranda (@ladypfenix)

G, 5k, Ouyang Zichen | Kay's Rec

Summary: Qiu Shiyu is a pragmatic young woman, she knows that the marriage her father wants to arrange will be more for his benefit than hers. But even so, she cannot help hoping that her prospective husband to be just might be someone who can match her romantic side too.

~*~

Mask

by BurningTea (@humanformdragon)

M, 30k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: The cultivation world knows that Wei Wuxian is dead. It knows that the Yiling Patriarch has appeared, dangerous and powerful enough for Wen Ruohan to offer an alliance. And a prize. The Wen Sect is happy to agree when the Yiling Patriarch demands one of their hostages, Lan Wangji.

~*~

Letters along a River

by Ilona22

M, 19k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: They met at the stairs leading to the Cloud Recesses and when days spent together lead to a tentative friendship, letters lead to more. Meanwhile, trouble grows, quietly creeping along in the realms of politics and the supernatural.

Enjoy some fics recced by one of of our lovely pinch hitters this week! Big thanks to them for being willing to step in at the last minute, and also for sharing what fics they've been enjoying lately! 🥳

Born to Lose Author: midmorning_bomb Rating: Not Rated Words: 11,985 Summary: “Talia, this engagement was D.O.A. Surely you can build one alliance without a sham marriage.”

Everyone But You Author: infiniteeight Rating: G Words: 1,439 Summary: “Stiles travels back in time and fixes everything, only to discover that there's one thing he wishes he could have kept the same.”

The Unexpected Marriage of Peter Hale Author: moonstalker24 Rating: G Words: 9,383 Summary: This is the story of how Peter gets married without technically dating anyone. “You can bring your boyfriend with you,” Talia says. Peter stops giving Henry more bits of dried fruit to stare at his sister “Boyfriend?” “Of course!” Talia gestures at Stiles who looks around behind him with wide eyes. “I’m sure the whole family would be interested in meeting your young man.”

Would You Offer Your Throat to the Wolf with the Red Roses? Author: dracoismytrashson (JGogoboots) Rating: E Words: 112,093 Summary: “Stiles is failing out of college and trapped in a web of mental health issues soaked in liquor. Sure, he could deal with that, but solving the problem of why Peter has lost his wolf sounds a lot more appealing. So what if they drown in each other’s dysfunction along the way? Stiles is already halfway down the slide into oblivion. Might as well go all in. A story of addiction and recovery of all kinds. (Part magical problems fic, part road trip fic, part "everybody gets some healing" fic.)”

The Striking Complication Author: aurevell Rating: T Words: 118,704 Summary: “The smile slips off Stiles’s face. “Hey, um. Why am I here?” he asks, voice unsteady. “I’m—I have this weird feeling like I shouldn’t leave you. I’ve felt all day like...” He can’t finish the thought. Peter looks as surprised as Stiles feels. A strange expression passes over his face, there and gone before Stiles can decipher it. Stiles snaps awake each morning with the sense that he’s missing something. Weirder still, he can’t wrap his head around his sudden, inexplicable trust in Peter Hale, who seems to know way more than he’s letting on. Nor can he guess why a half-remembered nightmare seems to haunt his every move. Rinse and repeat. Because time loops suck, apparently.”

Take a Breath, and Then Another (series) Author: LadyArinn Rating: T Words: 83,802 Summary: "Stiles was fine after the Nogitsune. He got up, went to school, and pretended like everything around him wasn't unraveling like a shitily made sweater. So what if he was struggling with the magic inside of him that no one could seem to explain to him, or a secret soulmate he was trying his best to pretend like wasn't even there. So what if Peter Hale, said soulmate, was the only one who seemed to notice what was going on or give a shit half the time. He was fine."

Bedtime Stories Author: Whispering_Samir Rating: M Words: 16,413 Summary: "It's — growing pains. This is me getting stronger. I have evidence. I won a spar. The score is 60-1 or something but I won one. So. There." "... I suppose some congratulations are in order?" Peter says, half-mocking drawl. Stiles flips him off. Makes pathetic noises when all of his muscles protest at once. A fingertip grazes his and — "Wow," Stiles breathes, dazed, as his pain begins drifting away on a cotton candy cloud of childish-shiver ecstasy. "Don't stop. Do not ever stop." "That's quite a request. And quite a unique position to be requesting it from." Stiles lifts his head up - with miraculous ease - and glares at the middle-finger currently cosying up to Peter's black-veined pointer. He feels dangerously close to pouting. He doesn't want to lose the werewolf-mojo, but Peter is kind of right. Peter heaves a sigh before Stiles can come up with something probably stupid and says, "Would you like a massage, Stiles?" [And maybe this is where their love story started, or maybe it started with breaking and entering and a few pranks, or maybe it started when they first locked eyes on one another. However it started — here's how it goes.]

So, on the way to the bookstore...

Just popping on totally randomly and after many years to say a couple of things sims-related. Well, really to rant a bit, about a couple of things sims-related... ;)

I just spent over $100 CAD on a couple-or-so kits, and the two newest TS4 EP's - High School Years (since I'd passed on that earlier, and, of course, Growing Together). I was very excited for the new worlds, the new gameplay, and getting some more clutter in my game. FINALLY. After a couple of years of not really having much interest left in TS4, I was excited to get the whole, intense, deep, family mojo going - baby, infant, toddler, child, teen with high school, young adult with Uni, young adult with job/marriage/kids, start all over again...

I'm sorry to say that I was disappointed. Not really by the kits, they are what they are, but by the EP's. I played through HS Years while awaiting the arrival of GT, and it was OK, I guess. To be honest, I was hoping to explore more with a new "legacy" type of family once GT came out. But I suffered from MANY crashes once I'd finally downloaded it.

To be fair, I struggled with the game crashing due to mods - but I didn't put them in until they'd been updated. I spent four days starting over and over, testing and testing, with mods that were supposedly updated, but obviously something was wrong... I literally started FOUR FAMILIES in that time, ended up chucking all mods out the window (ooooh, the pain of build/buy without cheats!), and starting again.

It went OK - but I was so DONE by then. Sad, really.

None of THAT was EA's fault. Not at all. But here's the thing I noticed whilst starting over and over and over...

San Sequoia is barren. Empty. Lifeless. Like, you can't even search for frogs or fish there. There are no collectibles that I am aware of in the world AT ALL. (correct me if I'm wrong...)

Apart from collectibles, there also aren't that many people around to befriend/romance/marry - like, they're all adults or older and already paired up, for the most part. I don't know how I'd start a single, YA sim out and find someone to make a life with! I really don't - I tried! I had to move them to Willow Creek!

Literally, I gave up and moved my last sim from my last attempt to Potter's Splay in Willow Creek. Frick San Sequoia, I said. I can always visit the rec center just as easily by a loading screen from Willow Creek as I can from down the frickin' road!

My sim met Zoe Patel - she was serving drinks at the local bar. He romanced her REAL FAST LIKE and they got married within 24 hours and very quickly had a baby. Which then turned into my FOURTH infant in this fiasco. And we are on the way AGAIN to making some milestones.

(Poor little gal still hasn't gotten to the high chair yet, as did 2 of my other infants in this journey... )

Life was better - Zoe could trot around her neighbourhood, even while pregnant, and gather flowers and mushrooms and dug up stuffz to make a bit of side cash while hubby was off at work... And I realized that the RICHNESS of those two original neighbourhoods were never really matched in later EP's - except for Windenburg, they did a pretty good job on that one. Again, still early on.

I've heard that they are all worried about computers and how more worlds means more resources used and how they have to keep all those stats down for those who play on lower-end machines.

Well, folks, here's the thing. I've PAID for a higher-end machine. I know not everyone can, I get that. But I have one. And, for once in the last two years, I was looking forward to a pack that I now feel was hyped up beyond what it would do or give me, which was dumbed down, specs-wise, so that everyone under the sun could play the game. In the end, this long-time simmer feels shorted. I wanted to like the world. I wanted to play in it long-term. But you can't even get a decent-sized lot to build on, let alone one that faces the sun for the right times of day so you can bloody well see what the frick you're building or living in! The life has been sucked right out of it, which is sad, being as all the screenshots were so pretty. But why have an entire wharf when you don't even have a fishing spot on it? Why have parks and "empty areas" when there are no collectibles to find? No secret portals to other places to discover? Oh, and the "secrets" of San Sequoia are just folks telling you about their gender preference or how to be OK with some bad news you got???

Seriously. I can't even.

Know what I did? I opened up The Sims 3. And guess what?

So. Much. Better.

I'll write a new post about that later, since this one is long enough. ;)

oiaejgirjeoah pls im nothing special i just word vomited my emotions aojgioerjhoijreao

anyways tablo/epik high has SO many good songs uh everythings under the cut:

ur local absolutely no fucking chill high skool 2 parter list of epik high songs

(hold onto your lily white asses my darlings)(edited)

a note before we start: while im a big fan and supporter of reading translations and lyrics, I ESPECIALLY encourage you to read these lyrics. these men have shaped the human that I am today w their lyrics.

epik high title tracks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTD9Jysi3_g we start w my ult fave title song (empty taxi/car) home is far away from their album we’ve done sthing wonderful (as ive enthused about many a times here and is their 10th anniversary since debut) this is my emotional support song for those dark rainy days. I still get chills at ‘in this whole world, is there not a single empty seat for me?’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvofNApz01I this is the second track off we’ve done something wonderful lost one (blooming flower) and its FUCK such a good song as well. as we will get into later, younha and kim jongwan from nell (another fantastic band that i grew into adulthood with) collabs w epik high are FUCKING INSANE LITERALLY NEVER MISSES and this is a perfect example of that + special mention to tablo’s verse ‘I pray that your dream is a reachable one, I pray that your dream only shows you things you can touch, because success takes as much as it gives’ fucking goosebumps

man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcnnUoyv-hs the instrumental to this is SO fucking pretty I love the piano lines in this song if I had a piano w me I would have transcribed it to learn. i also love that they made a hip hop song wo a drum beat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9UDLRW2C1Q another OG in their discography and ofc its a younha collab bc again: it never misses. the sfx, the synths, the piano, the EVERYTHING including joon choosing this song to cover on their appearance on duet song festival

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4hTS-f7UHk cant forget this ABSOLUTE banger of a song that got a lot of hate (ironically) but became a fan favorite and this epik moment where joker tablo, bane mithra jin, and (the scariest mojo) dj tukutz did this on halloween mamas (yea the trivializing mental health isnt great what w this being set in an asylum but we aren’t gonna discuss how society has treated mental health patients as others and monsters)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s1jaFDrp5M another absolute fucking BANGER literally will never shut up about this basically a rap cypher amongst the bros anyways IM A BORN HATER :loudspeaker::loudspeaker::loudspeaker:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCsLikmxhV0 (TW guns and blood) and here’s the sequel to the previous song off their recent album feat ofc the legend herself CL of 2ne1 (and ugh I guess z*co fuck you you talented bigoted fucker) completely ot but I love how they just….stick tukutz wherever. you need a guy to hold a gun? casually dj in the bg? a random being chaotic in the bg? tukutz’s got u

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7EQ_uoNQBE the punniest pun of all puns w some of the saddest lyrics wow alright younha and epik chill dont need to come at me like that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElW_V6SyfE8 the silliest funniest (future) dads to ever. just a giant dad joke in mv and song form full of pop culture references. they would continue this trend to reference all of the biggest drama posters to announce shows its genuinely some of the best things to ever happen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtPo67yqj60 yet another english korean pun where happeun means easy in korean so its an easy ending. when they did music shows, they intentionally chose the female singers starting from the youngest to the oldest to portray how different-aged people deal with breakups in jo wonsun’s lines (list: suhyun from akmu (first crush/love), lee hi (teenager), minzy from 2ne1 (20s), younha (30s), and finally jowon (middle age)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ_xJD7zlfI here is the compilation thank you epik high https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX_4wrZIpGw gods run…..what a song…….what an impact………..no commentary just go watch this ( I couldn’t find the official mv for this song its so old but tis so good my lord)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47Vz-ptyKbQ cant forget about historical drama warrior iu and how this mv basically gave us actor iu thank you epik high kings ft. crush another fan fave

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awexwS9BYuY gonna end this w mine and tannie's fave E P I K MY HIGH IS EPIK hype song ever. this is the song that put hiphop onto the map and gave birth to all the hiphop kpop bands in the years to come (hey table wheres the mv????)

epik high b side tracks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juG3PBxrsfM lets start with my absolute favorite album opener (its really a 2 parter that blends just as easily on the album as on this live here) that references their previous work accomplishments and spoilers for the album AND especially for the references to all of their albums at the end there by tablo thank you king off their newest album epik high is here pt. 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7f2fdJm1oQ cant make a list about epik high wo mentioning the fan favorite the crowning jewel the piece de la resistance in their discography, amor fati. tablo wrote this for the LGBTQ community and those who have been orphaned by society and it hits everytime you hear it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC5pmyVJ4t4 now we have come to my most played song on my iTunes @ 1689 plays feat lee hi! yes this is also from we’ve done something this album is fucking INSANE. im giving you the live bc this is completely in english and we deserve to hear these talented ppl live when that electric guitar comes in at the bridge…..fuck

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LraS48NP99s this is off their newest album and yes I absolutely ugly cried at ‘inside all my talents, the youth [my dad] forfeited for me still breathes’ and ‘the last time I was in his arms, I thought, even heaven

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdTOJfzz8YY you can tell this is an old kpop vid bc im using platypizz :rofl::rofl: anyways this is another epik high classic I can practically sing this entire song what a (sad) bop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pMX5uDR_B4 this is the song that got me into epik high and ive never looked back since. this is my knees weak arms are heavy moms spaghetti actually.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um4pcG_KYYw we dont mithra opening epik high songs often but this is my favorite song one that he does. just…..this line right here ‘our smiles always wither before even blooming but flowers who never bloomed still gather to form a garden’ fuck my dude. you dont gotta go that hard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFckDQXbZ10 they fucking opened the best kpop album w this song. with the line ‘lenon died in 1980, when I was born. i always only imagine the worst.’ SINCERELY WHAT THE FUCK GUYS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGWUeMOP1ms here we come to my second most played epik high album sleepless in __, and the crowning jewel off that album……….even tho suga’s eternal sunshine and rain again tomorrow come a close second, but I dont have the space to give you the entire album but alas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb9Xu17T4CU I love everything about this song and wish they had this version on the album instead. this song blends so smoothly from the previous track rain again tomorrow and just this album sleepless in __ gives my brain so much happy neural connections idk how to explain it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYnY6XChzok this is one their best selling songs for a REASON is all im gonna say. ofc miss younha is there to BRING IN THE HEAT (my tears) everytime she comes with ‘oh no. not again’ I FELT THAT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbnx4qZYD9Q ive always been a BIG miso fan and when I heard she was collabing w epik high I WAS SO EXCITED and ofc they never disappoint. seriously such a gem in their new album. the album doesnt have the korean verse miso sings and its a shame really

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwKiGy2A_nU yet another fucking epik high song that fucking shaped my whole worldview and called me the fuck out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUHhFrBEKes YES KINGS LOUDER!!!! FOR THE BACK!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF8kBwaVYb0 tablo has done many lessons over the years but this is one is my favourite one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Morx4BdGHaA we finish this list off w a song named after the famous camera/lens makers and how we are all so obsessed with images and sns

#thank you anna for helping out ioaejgorejhoa #i have no chil im so sorry #ans

Hi!! I'm new to the fandom (I started reading the books because of the AMC show) and I just finished Queen of the Damned. I've seen a lot of fans say that you should stop there because it gets a lot worse. I saw what people were saying about what's in them and :/ Can you recommend any fanfictions set after the third book so I have something to read in the meantime before the show premiers?

Hello and welcome to the fandom! See, I had a feeling that the AMC show would do this, like any other adaptation, draw new ppl in who find their way to the books! ✨✨✨

It’ll be interesting to see how fic writers write fic set in the AMC verse, whether they’ll choose to pull anything from canon, still, or if they’ll situate fully in the AMC characterizations and plot points.

So yes, there are fans who call books 1-3 “the trilogy," and it's up to you whether you want to continue. I always recommend continuing and reading all of canon if you can, and just skip over scenes or books that don't work for you. I think of canon as a buffet, take something from this hot plate, skip over that weird-looking vegetable dish, have an upside down meal with dessert first, etc.!

It depends what you’re enjoying about the books, really. Which characters you want more of? Bc Anne did write the books in a way that explores their stories individually and as an ensemble.

One of my friends adores Daniel, ships Daniel/Armand, and didn't read Pandora, skipped over it, and kept going into the series after Pandora looking for more of Armand and Daniel. Now, it could give you more insight about Armand to read Pandora, because of her relationship with Marius, which had an impact on Marius' relationship with Armand. But it’s not necessary.

As far as fanfictions set after the third book... that's tough, bc tbh, ppl don't always say in their description when the fic takes place, I skimmed my works and even I didn’t always do that 😬, but there are also lots of fics set within books 1-3, which you might want to stick to to avoid books 4+ content.

There are fics set in modern times long after books 1-3, in which you might get the canon references to things happening in any of the books, which it seems like you may be trying to avoid? So I would recommend you read fics that are either books 1-3, or AUs, because AU fics may have spoilers about books 4+, but you won’t understand the references to canon events if you haven't read the books? Idk this is a tough one!

I can shamelessly promote my VC coffeeshop AU fic that I co-wrote with @wicked-felina, Signature Blend, here. I’m 99% sure that the only thing in it that’s a spoiler for books outside 1-3 would be the presence of Mojo the dog, from Tale of the Body Thief (book 4), but he’s a pure cinnamon roll, and you could treat him like he was in canon - just a dog we all love!

There will also be fics set in the AMC verse, I'm sure of that, so you could wait a bit and read those ;-D

People are welcome to comment/reblog this with their own fics, or other ppl’s fic recs for Anon! I would prefer not to add more recs myself, only because I know I'm interested in fic from anywhere and everywhere in canon, and I don't want to play favorites (other than my one moment of shameless self-promotion) on this response.

#anon #ask #vampire chronicles #interview with the vampire #fanfic #fanfiction #reccomendations please #Signature Blend #will also be accepting praise for Signature Blend as well...😏#wicked-felina #read the books
