Ohh, fuck. Okay, so I read That Stupid Fucking Book (fourth wing) so that a friend would make good on her promise to read Cal Leandros, and I *also* reread all but the last Cal book in preparation for the *opinions* I know my girl is gonna have.

And now I have to go read the "last" Cal book and face down that cliffhanger again, and I genuinely don't know if I'm strong enough.

A Savory Assortment of Fic Recs Part 2

Part 2 of the miscellaneous fandom recs I've gathered. Here you will find KinnPorshe, Sense8, Color Rush, We Best Love, Cal Leandros, The Witcher and Until We Meet Again

KinnPorshe

Where Power Resides by Laughsalot3412

Porsche snorts and ducks his head to hide a smile. It’s something Kinn would find cute if another man did it.

It is not cute on Porsche, because Kinn is about to serve him up to his sadistic cousin as a chew toy, so nothing Porsche does is allowed to be classified as cute.

Also, Porsche is the most annoying person Kinn has ever met.

(After epsiode 2, Kinn gets Porsche through a punishment by using bdsm power dynamics. He does it so well that it earns him the love of his life. Also, there are brothers. Just so, so many brothers.)

The power in the taking by iffervescent

They warned him, when he started working for the Theerapanyakun clan. Forget leadership, forget duty to his people, forget all that – they warned him. Kinn Theerapanyakun, clan heir: obsessed with power.

Porsche should have fucking listened.

Sense8

Felix+ by Chancy_Lurking

Felix Brenner and the Cluster.

Color Rush

whale fall by noona96n

a whale fall occurs when the carcass of a whale has fallen onto the ocean floor and create complex localized ecosystems that supply sustenance to deep-sea organisms for decades - this is a series of 'insert' & future fics that are canon compliant, just spicier and Yoohan/Yeonwoo relationship started out a lot more ambiguously

Tangled up in Blue by Madd4the24

"Run away with me," Yoohan said, pulling at Yeonwoo's hand, desperation and worry etched into his features. "Run away with me so we can be together. If we stay, they'll tear us apart. I won't get to have you anymore, Yeonwoo, and they might hurt you. Run away with this idiot and be happy with me."

"You are an idiot," Yeonwoo replied. "Where would we go? What would we do? Use your brain. We'd be caught right away. We're seventeen."

Once more, Yoohan implored, "Run away with me right now. While we still have a chance. Before the last bus leaves. We have to at least try."

Yeonwoo shook his head, "Running away will only make it look like I've kidnapped you even more."

"Only," Yoohan replied, "if we get caught."

(Or rather, Yoohan and Yeonwoo actually run away together, and build a strangely satisfying life together until their past comes barreling in reminding them that you can't ever really escape who you used to be.)

the great yawning beast by AceOnMain (Sangrylah)

Yoohan is not taking constructive criticism on his relationship, thank you very much.

movement of eyes by minkit

Yoohan had always wanted to be someone special, being a Probe for a Mono however had never crossed his mind.

the color rush scene from ep1 through Yoohan's POV.

We Best Love

The Lucky Ones by LadyAscalon

They don't eat Pei Shouyi's ramen. He doesn't blow Gao Shide's cover, and Shide gets his wish: he and Zhou Shuyi are friends through graduation and beyond.

Everything is fine until Shide brings a boyfriend home.

What the heart wants (and is going to get) by iffervescent

Gao Shi De has been in America far too long. Zhou Shu Yi decides this is unacceptable, and goes to get him.

Cal Leandros

Flickerflash by SouthernMoonshine

A collection of short drabbles from all over the series, fast and quick like the silvery flickerflash of light from Niko's katana

In Your Head by BottleRedRosie

Niko needs to sort out his head. Falling off a building can do that to a guy. Oneshot. Niko-centric. Niko and Cal POV. Warnings for language and non-graphic adult situations.

The Witcher

A Song of Selfish Hearts by gremble

Geralt loses a chunk of his memories, meets an overly-friendly bard, and comes to the obvious conclusion: that somewhere along the way, he apparently lost his godsdamned mind and decided to take a human lover on the Path with him.

you met me at the perfect time by suzukiblu

“You could’ve died,” Geralt says in a strange tone, and Jaskier takes one look at him and realizes—oh, he’s going to have to do something about that, isn’t he.

when life gives you lemons by ShanaStoryteller

The only good thing about Oxenfurt is the brothels.

Geralt thinks Jaskier is a whore, but really he's just an opportunist.

best friends means you get what you deserve by suzukiblu 

Jaskier wakes up in Posada. He’s been a lot of other places, but Posada is the one where he wakes up.

The one where someone needs him enough to make him exist, rather.

of music and motion and love by WriteThroughTheNight

When Jaskier was four, he slipped his mother’s watch and went to the field to gather a bouquet of dandelions. He climbed back into the yard, as stealthy as a child really cared to be, and crept over to the barn. In the barn, lived a secret. (The man he thought his father said the secret was a monster, a plague. His mother said the secret was his sister.)

OR

Jaskier comes from a far humbler background, and would really like to know why Yennefer never came back for her youngest brother.

Until We Meet Again

Have You Ever Been Alone (in a crowded room) by Madd4the24

It starts with the sliding glass door to Pharm's condo being open--cracked open only a few inches, letting wisps of cold air travel into the comfy room. It starts with Dean beginning to notice small things, innocent things, things that in isolated incidences, mean nothing. It starts with a feeling of unease, and the distinct notion that something is wrong.

It becomes, however, a mystery that gnaws at Dean until he can't sleep, can't eat, can't focus. Who is opening doors and windows? Who is moving Dean's shoes around, Pharm's books, their personal items? Who is Dean writing to at night?

And more important, when Dean wakes in the morning, who is writing back to him on the pad of paper placed on the bedside table?

forever? forever. by Jamilton_and_Lams

As short as it was; it was their forever.

aka slices of life from Intouch and Korn.

17 and 36 for bookworm asks?

Thank you for the asks, @halfthealphabet!

#17 Favorite finished book series.

This one is pretty easy: Bartimaeus sequence by Jonathan Stroud. I read it more than 10 years ago and reread it several times since then. It made Stroud my favorite author ever (Lockwood and Co is another one of his excellent series and I can't wait to read the last book in Scarlett and Browne). It's marketed as a middle grade but it's one of those books you can read at any age. The first book reads a bit younger than the rest but things get dark and heavy pretty fast. It has a compelling plot, a great worldbuilding, but it's main selling point are its characters. Quite honestly, they (especially Bartimaeus himself) should be my answer to the following question as well.

#36 Your absolute most favorite character(s) from any book you've ever read.

Bartimaeus, hands down. I didn't want to say the same thing twice, though, so I kept thinking what other characters lived in my heart rent free for who knows how many years and will continue to do so even in the future... (it doesn't feel right to answer the question with books I've read recently, who knows if they stay with me the way old favorites did). And I have come up with a character from a series that will never be finished, a series its author started to hate and actively sabotaged, a series I'm scared to reread because I'm worried it won't live up to my memories: Cal Leandros from Rob Thurman. It's a urban fantasy series with a snarky protagonist whom I love with all my heart. He is a funny, sarcastic asshole with daddy issues (well...) who hates the world (and himself), but who grows over the course of 10 books until the bitter end (and by that I mean it ends with a cliffhanger and the last book will never be written).

Ya know, I actually can pinpoint my first book boyfriend. Caliban Leandros. I was 12 and my dad had Nightlife, the first book, laying around. Cal had dark hair, pale skin, grey eyes, and a seriously tortured soul. The self-loathing really spoke to me. Truly, it shaped my taste in men maybe a tad too early. But I have finally put my finger on it now that I'm re-reading the series as a form of torture considering it remains UNFINISHED.

I'll be forever bitter that the cal leandros series never was finished.

[blackkatmagic]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "blackkatmagic "?

My name is Kat, and when I was making a username my (black) cat was sitting on my lap. blackkat was taken on here, though, so I tacked on magic.

For favorite fics, it really depends on mood? But I'll give you my current top 10, in no particular order:

Entanglements (or, Nature Trail to Hell)

The Waters and the Wild

Love Is All You Need to Destroy Your Enemies

To Be Invisible

He Just Makes Fuck-Ups

Say My Name (And Every Color Illuminates)

This time tomorrow (where were we?)

While Ao3 is down, my fics are also on fanfiction.net as chibikaty. Everything is there except my collabs.

[radicarian]

I dreamed I was at a dinner party peopled entirely by Former Gifted Kids(TM). While I pondered what I had done to deserve being called out like this, and how I should work on being less insufferable so I'd stop being tarred with this brush, of course everyone else at my table was trying to flex on me. One dude was quizzing me on, of all things, the specific pattern of obscenity usage in Rob Thurman's Cal Leandros novels

A moment of silence for all the neurodivergents who’s long-term hyperfixation/special interest is a very niche piece of media with little to no content available

Know-it-all characters who use their know-it-allness as a defense mechanism, because they can't cope emotionally with not being in control of any given situation.

Characters whose weird flaws wind up being coping mechanisms are so fun so much of the time. There's a specific thing that comes with this type that when they're wrong about something they tend to have a freakout while their worldview shifts around them because they can't be wrong, oh my God, they can't be wrong, they know so many things and panic.

Problem is, I can't really....think of too many characters like this? William, of course, which is evident from the beginning of his first page of "I'm not wrong." Yes you are shut up. I know there's a bunch and my brain has just completely fallen apart.

Niko from The Cal Leandros books, maybe? Little geeky nerd who decided to learn all of the things because it seemed to the only way to keep his brother safe.

To some extent, perhaps Barnaby from Tiger & Bunny. He can be a bit of a pretentious know-it-all, and he has some real issues being out of control of things because he doesn't know what to do outside of his strictly controlled plan, but that's almost the inverse.

Chandra from The Fire's Stone, probably...which is fun because she might know more about magic, but Aaron's the only one who knows anything about the real world, and they all come to terms with this real quick.

Probably way more wizards than I can rightly think of at the moment. Almost anything by Roger Zelazny?
