#I don’t even wanna tag that fandom 😭

I wish I could explain things coherently!! I saw a tiktok the other day about an au where Marinette’s parents find out about her identity after she dies during an akuma attack and the news reports it live
And the part that really got to me, the part I found haunting, wasn’t her parents’ reaction, but the words on the tv that said something like “Marinette Dupen-Chang, 14 year old superhero”
And I can’t fully explain why, because there’s a lot of media about 14 year old superheroes (I mean, Danny’s half dead and 14 and none of the fan stuff that focuses on that affected me as much), but I think it might be the juxtaposition? Like, usually when identities are found out, everyone is horrified by the age
But there’s this news broadcast, revealing her identity after everyone watched her get killed on live tv, and they didn’t put “14 year old child” or “14 year old school student”, they put “14 year old superhero”
Like it was her job, and it was expected, and it was unavoidable, not at all like they were horrified to find out her age, these are just facts, her name was Marinette, she was 14, she was their superhero, and she’s dead now

a post I absolutely hate to make but I am in the trenches. I recently had a fall which aggravated an already miserable chronic pain issue and had me in and out of the emergency room. I currently live paycheck to paycheck so missing even a day of work unfortunately causes a huge financial burden.
Tumblr media
This is the current state of my bank account. Everything in savings has to go to rent which is due on the first. My car insurance payment of 210 dollars was due on the 23rd which I asked to pay on the 27th, but then ended up missing work to be in the hospital on 10/19 and 10/20 so my paycheck was 380 dollars today. I ended up back in the emergency room on 10/25 which means my check on 11/03 will be short as well and rent(1400) and my phone bill(200)will need to come out as well🫠
I have no talents to offer in return but I would be eternally grateful even just for a reblog
I have:
c@shapp - tmeachh
venm0 - tmeachhh
If there’s any questions you can contact me on my main blog: @choreo-mania . The only reason this is being posted here is because my main blog is shadow banned 🤡

desperately trying to act normal while not being able to think about anything other than the MWIII reveal tomorrow
not because i’m like. super pumped for the story and buzzing with excitement over it. i’m excited for it y’know but i’m not clawing at the walls desperate to learn more this very second.
i’m just. so fucking nervous because if this trailer doesn’t have yuri that’s a very bad sign 💀 i’m gonna actually lose it if he isn’t in the reboot and the MWII trailer revealed a lot of the cast iirc so if he’s not in the trailer tomorrow—
i just need him to come back. i miss him so much. i’m fawning over makarov rn but if i catch even a single glimpse of yuri i’m going feral. words genuinely cannot express how obsessed with him i am, and if i see him it’s fucking over for everyone who follows me because their dashboards WILL be flooded with him.

Okay so absolutely loving your writing sm <3
So I had this idea while, of course, scrolling down the aaron x reader tag so like you dont have to write it if you dont want to but i wanna throw this out here bc otherwise itll stay stuck in my brain
But like reader who is just,, incredibly shy? Like in social situations they put up a front and you would never expect them to be shy because theyre very present and speak up often despite almost blending in the background when quiet. But its a whole other story at home and such?
Like, Aaron notices and first thinks theyre uncomfortable with him but he slowly realizes that this is like, their love language ig and showing vulnerability? Quiet time, acts of service and such yk? Like, they always put up a front and to drop that (not entirely ofc but a decent amount of it) is just the highest form of trust bc theyve been ridiculed for being shy? And the shyness is much more present in the bedroom, especially when he praises them they just get even more shy and hes just so so gentle :(( like asking if theyre okay, going slowly and asking to see them when they hide their face but never forcing them to and just like praising them when they do and the praise kink of them just sticks its head up and its just the purest form of being together? Like, its not rough but gentle and its soft and theres really no other word than making love for it and its all just :(( and the aftercare the man would provide is just AHHH😭❤️
Oh dear im so sorry but i got sucked into the fandom and got obsessed by hotch and then your writing so- this is so long so imma shut up now but i just needed to throw it out there tbh before id explode from all the hotch ideas i have in my mind that im not writing myself or giving to any writer bc what if they think the ideas are weird or too long like rn- but anyway imma shut up have a nice day/night and hydrate <3 (also you might see more of me if you dont mind long ass rants in the middle of it like this one- if you do mind just tell me to shut up im not gonna be mad or anything <3/srs)
-🧽
my sweet sweet 🧽 anon <33 this took me a while to write i'm sorry!! i hope you've been well!! i think about you a lot and i haven't forgotten the kind words you had sent to me <3 i hope you enjoy this!! (and ofc i don’t mind long rants i LOVE talking about aaron <3333)

“Can I, honey?” you heard Aaron’s words as he wrapped his hands around your wrists.
You had been covering your face as you usually did when your boyfriend went down on you. After making you finish, Aaron had made his way up again, urging you nicely to look at him.
With a nod of your head, you gave him permission to gently remove your hands from your face.
“There you are.” He smiled at you.
“Hi,” you said, softly, unable to keep yourself from smiling a little.
“Hi,” he answered, just as softly. “Do you wanna taste yourself, baby?”
“Mhm…” You nodded, staring at his chin instead of his eyes.
Your own eyes closed involuntarily, as he lowered himself and his lips touched yours. You opened your mouth, allowing his tongue to touch yours. Knowing where that tongue had been before it was inside your mouth, made you even more excited for what was coming next.
Aaron placed his hand on your hip, giving it a squeeze and then moved it down your thigh, wrapping your leg around his body. “Open them wider, sweetheart.”
Only a few moments later, Aaron was inside you, rocking his body against yours, in a pace slow enough to be considered both romantic and tormenting.
“Ah…”
“Good?” he breathed heavily on your mouth.
“So good…”
“I love you,” he moaned, his face now buried in the crook of your neck. He left open mouthed kisses on your sensitive skin after every little whine of yours. “I love your body. I love the sounds you make. I love the way you take me like you were made for me.”
“I was,” you sighed, because you really were. There was no man in the world you’d let yourself be this vulnerable around, other than Aaron. Your Aaron.

I just read your x reader post (and the anon response to it) and good Lord you are right. I read your whole rant and I felt it in my bones!!
I've been in this damn app for over 10 years, and written for almost as many fandoms, and I'll say that the x reader tag has NEVER been this bad. It's not just st, it's nearly all of the ones I've seen and it's just gone down hill. It's really so fucking sad.
I was huge in the SVU fandom, and there were So! Many! Writers! We all reblogged eachothers fics and not everything had to be about sex to get notes! We LOVED when reader kissed the character for the first time because we understood that it was the yearning, the 'Oh God finally I'm having you' and not all about just fucking! God now even the most hastly written, shitty smut gets thousands of notes just because it's smut. It's so fucking disheartening. I've written a few things for st (one of which is the piece I'm most proud of, ever) and it got like, 100 notes on here. That's it, but I swear some 'popular' writers get so much traction just because they write smut poorly.
And not to sound like a boomer (cause I'm not a SWEAR) but the tik tok-ification of fandom and fanfic is ruining it! The lack of reading comprehension, the fact that reader has to be as description-less as possible or else "its not realalistic, I'd never do that, etc etc" makes me wanna rip my skin off. Fanfic used to be an outlet for so many people but the way its treated now makes it near unbearable.
(I'm so sorry I went on a rant you don't have to post this but just know that I agree with you 110%)
RANT! RANT! RANT! i’m so happy to hear people’s rant, i talk about these issues a lot with friends in dms and it’s very vindicating to hear it’s something that has bugged and annoyed more people than just me !
yes omg the way x reader fics have shifted over the last 10 years is INSANE— hearing that it’s not just stranger things unfortunately doesn’t make me feel much better lmao
i’ve picked this fight before back when i was in the spidey fandom because of this EXACT reason — where i was like hey…… sometimes things that have more notes….. are worse - because people have this insane thing where they will judge a fic? based on? its notes? and its like buddy how do u think a fic gets ANY notes if you act like that. truly its the worst, writers that are already big just keep getting boosted (even if they just write characters nasty fucking which is! ur prerogative! but it shouldnt be SUCH a factor in being popular/getting your fics read)
i’m not pointing fingers but yes i know a couple blogs that get HYPED because they both A) write smut constantly and B) write fast. and isn’t that just such a kicker if you can’t and don’t want to do those things? like even though it means nothing, there is no correlation between writing slow = bad writing, this site reflects that SO much because they never give that shit the notes it deserves
tiktok-ification god ur so right. it’s the way the mindset has shifted from these being wips, writing, pieces that you develop into instead content. consumable content. there’s such a disconnect between people that read shit tons of fic and the realisation that it’s produced by a person. they just hit the like button and go on anon to ask for an update and it’s like buddy it can’t work that way! the same way u like to read fic, writers want validation and engagement and questions and motivation!!! talk about biting the hand that feeds you 😭
[grabs ur shoulders and presses our foreheads together] we’re not crazy. it used to be better and we can make it better in time <3

Yeah idk why i’m doing this either i guess i just wanted to make myself feel better about turning 30? Also i’m admitting i probably should been a bit more prepared for this celebration thing but maybe 5 days is enough time?
Seriously though someone tell me how ‘93 was 30 years ago 😭
Soooo i figured i’d make a prompt list for my fellow creators to participate in (if they want to of course 😉😅)
Gonna try and keep the prompts simple because i’ve never done a prompt list like this before, and also it’s all fandoms friendly so go nuts with it (even if it’s a fandom i’m not a part of - i’m trying to get into some other stuff atm anyways)
🖤 Monday 10th 🎉🎂✨
skill: blending // colours: vibrant
💜 Tuesday 11th
skill: typography // colours: cool palette
💙 Wednesday 12th
skill: transition // colours: warm palette
💚 Thursday 13th
skill: overlays // colours: black and white
💛 Friday 14th
skill: free space // colours: free space
Rules are pretty simple - you can do one or both whatever you like (mix and match with the other days even if you want to lol)
We don’t have to be mutuals to take part in this either btw I just wanna see some pretty gifs and stuff to cheer myself up (plus recently it feels like my dash has been a little sparse for content i enjoy)
Gonna be tracking these under my normal tag #useraimz but gonna be tagging them under aimzbday*
Tagging some much loved mutuals below the cut in no particular order (signal boost or not it’s completely up to you) and as per always i never know who to tag because you guys know how much of a socially awkward loser i am - so if i miss anyone i’m sorry 👉🏻👈🏻🥺

said this in the tags of a previous post from like 5 minutes ago but does anyone have any angsty / hurt/comforty zukka fic ideas they cba to write/want me to write? (bcz there are seriously not enough of those like how the fuck have i read like all of them on ao3 that interest me??? anyways conditions(?) for what i write under the cut)
i don’t like aus much so pls don’t include any (just a personal preference // canon divergence is one idm as much but don’t love)
when it comes to hurt/comfort it doesn’t have to be them comforting eachother (me personally i love those “hakoda finds out accidentally and zuko freaks the fuck out bcz fire nation homophobia but sokka’s just insanely embarrassed and hakoda’s a rlly good dad abt it” fics, also love the idea of iroh talking to zuko abt stuff or other members of the gaang finding out+talking abt it)
would prefer if it either included a focus on either queer stuff/coming out or outing/homophobia discussions/etc or mental illness shit (eg. zukos extreme daddy issues or shit like sh/suicide bcz fuck you i like what i like)
piggy backing off that i have no idea how to write mcd so pls don’t suggest it
am cool with making it zukki/suzukka instead of just zukka
the ship itself doesn’t have to be main focus of the fic i just want them in there
idm at all writing stuff that implies/references sex and i don’t really mind including actual sexual content but i’ve never written smut before and don’t wanna write smthn rn thats nsfw-focused so if u include that in ur prompt just be aware i might have to skip and imply the scene or i might not write it bcz yay writers block (it’s connected i promise-)
VERY happy to make either of them autistic and will probably write zuko like that anyway
PLEASE if u have an idea but think it’s cringe or weird or whatever just send it (on anon if u want) and if u have an idea but are not sure if it fits just send it with a disclaimer, i’d rather have a lot of bad ideas like what happens everytime i ask for bsd ideas than nothing bcz the eldritch horrors have maybe allowed me to write for the first time in ages and i rlly wanna put a fic out
please don’t be super vague i’m too autistic for that 😭
plz send the requests as asks, not a reblog or comment (just so i have them all in the same place)
sorry this was kinda long and idk if anyone’ll respond to this but yeah there’s srsly not enough of this kinda fic in this fandom (and i’m not even gonna mention how i wrote my kyoshi fic in april and it’s STILL the only fic like that abt her so what the fuck)
oh also yeah my ao3 is Raines_Adopted_Son

Hello there!! I was looking through some of the discord shenanigans posts and I was just wondering if you’re accepting new members?
Hi! Well first of all, glad you enjoyed the comics! It means a lot to know that you enjoyed those silly shenanigans ❤️
Sadly I’ve already left the server recently, so can’t really help much 🤷
For ppl curious my rambling, as always, will be under read more👇
As for you question:
the server’s called “TSP creators club”
yes, I believe they still accept new members, you can contact @/kelpiekidd or @/heckinrissa I think (not tagging them, to not disturb them)
They’re mods there, should help with it 🤷
This might sound weird to some ppl bc I was heavily associated with TSPcc
To be frank I wouldn’t be where I am right now, if not TSPcc: I would’ve never stuck with The Stanley Parable for as long as I did, never could’ve met so many wonderful creative people (many of whom are my friends right now)
+the server kick-started my recognition as a creator
For that I’m thankful and still look back at this part of my life with a warm smile
But nothing can last forever
(god I’m saying it like something horrible happened, which is not the case)
Basically
The reasons are mostly the same as why I left the TNP fic*: I’m not active on the server + most of my friends left from there
(*TNP - The Narrative Parable fanfic – a collaborative project involving many other creators and narrators)
So um yea, this might not be enough of a reason
But I will not do a whole comic on “The history of TSP fandom” right 📓🖋️
(oh wait I might actually 😭💥 you will maybe get this joke far in the future)
___________________
I also want to address
Discord Shenanigans aged, quite a lot
I do not regret making those comics, I still like them to this day
But
That content is not something I want to be known for, to me, it’s part of the past
I look back at them as archived memories
They are like an old photo album of sorts 📒
____________________
This does not mean I’m leaving TSP fandom
Want to be clear on that one
I still enjoy the game and the community it built around itself
Yes I still enjoy the fandom, despite meaningless drama in the community that ruins the fun for everyone
(It’s my first fandom I was a part of, I’m biased ok 😈)
‼️ I do not justify any messed up people who are or were in the fandom ‼️
What I’m trying to say that drama/creepy people are just part of any fandom experience honestly
I totally understand people who just don’t want to be a part of the fandom, it’s reasonable and valid. I’ve heard some really messed up stuff, I don’t know the full extent of every situation and don’t want to discuss it. I don’t believe I have the right, nor the information to even mention it. Creeps are not a fandom’s problem, creeps are just a problem.
And if people don’t want to address those situations: do not harass them with questions. If people want to address their experience or thoughts, they will. If they don’t want to start drama/don’t feel comfortable/just simply don’t want to - you should respect their decision. No person is obligated to report anything to the crowd.
On the side note (since I can’t shut up) - Barry
I kinda 👀
I kinda wanna explore him as a character and tell the story I made for him 👀✨
I will make a separate post about him later down the road
But as for now: yes the potential story revolves around tsp + Narratorverse aspects, yes I may abandon that idea bc of how complicated it is, yes I’m talking and overthinking too much - we will get there when we get there 🤚
So I’m still here, I still care about tsp creators: they do amazing stuff and they are wonderful people
As always sorry for that scroll of text 👉👉 thanks for your time, see you in the next random huge text post 👋

hi!
i have a quick pandemonium question. absolutely zero pressure to answer because i know a lot of authors (me included lmao) like to keep this secret to add to The Experience, but i was wondering — if you are comfortable — if you’d be willing to reveal whether or not jegulus is safe from the mcd tag? i saw the mcd accompanied by the “angst with a happy ending” tag and jegulus as the main pairing, and i know angst with a happy ending can mean different things to different people, so i was curious whether or not them staying alive/together contributed to it.
once again i wanna emphasize that there’s zero pressure on my end for you to answer, and i completely understand and respect your decision regardless. i just think pandemonium is such a fucking amazing concept (especially as a lover of trans regulus and trans mpreg rep!! and a fellow writer who wants to explore being trans in an apocalypse because WOW what would that entail), and following along with wips/theorizing about the unknown as a fic is being published is something i love so much about fandom, but i am in fact one of those wimps who can’t handle mcd unless it’s temporary.
i hope this doesn’t come off as demanding/pushy😭i truly don’t mean to sound rude or like i’m prying into your space, but if i’m overstepping a boundary please let me know. thank you so much!
hii!! ur fine nw :)) ! i actually answered this before but im so shit at tagging so no worries no pushy vibes at all <3
i dont feel like revealing who survives/who doesn't for the sake of immersion as u mentioned! the fun bit of zombie apocalypse/high stakes fics is the fact you're kept on your toes and truly worry for the character's wellbeing. i am, admittedly, still thinking about whether to add the tag regarding jegulus (or one of them maybe even) survives or not. and indeed, 'happy ending' is open to multiple interpretations so i might have to rephrase it as well........
yfwfdgsdgds its so difficult bc u want to be all mean and mysterious saying stuff like 'everyone can die. even ur fav. no one is safe so enjoy every chapter where ur fav chara is alive while it lasts' but at the same time from a reader's pov i would also really want to know if jeggy get to live happy after at the end...... deffo something i really have to firmly decide on when i publish the first chapter of the fic!
ALSO AAAAA! u should deffo explore being trans in the apocalypse!!!!! id love to read more apocalypse fics, especially those WITH trans characters so definitely! no pressure to write anything but if u ever do......tag me.. id eat that shit UPPP

i don’t wanna tag actual artworks with these thoughts because they’re thoughts op never really needs to hear bc i don’t wanna be mean to anyone… and it might seem like i’m talking about a specific piece of art right now but believe me im not, im talking about dozens if not hundreds of different artworks that i’ve seen and liked or reblogged in my time, but sometimes… sometimes i see a piece of art that’s like… hot i guess, but like… ed’s little tumby isn’t in it??? they’ve given him a very skinny waist and his tummy might dip in even or he might have defined hips or the beginning of abs or just a very flat tummy even in a position you’d think it would be less flat in given that he actually has a bit of tummy pudge. and i know i’m a freak but i also am like… into the general positivity around squish that the ofmd fandom usually goes in for…
i miss the tummy? i look at art every day all the time and think “where is his tummy, where is the rest of him” lol. i know ed doesn’t have MUCH tummy but what he does have of it is squishy and convex with a sorta deep bellybutton, or it looks that way anyways. again there’s not much of a tummy there but there’s an inherent softness in the shape of it. i’ve made posts with screenshots before. i just miss the tummy… so much art is so cool and good but where is the tummy 😭

thinking about the anon that got triggered by you being in a happy relationship and having the audacity to post about it on your own blog like in sorry youre a better person than i am bc i wouldve just responded with a picture of grass and said "touch this stuff"
They sent another ask abt it saying some ppl could get triggered or not wanna see it and like. I’m sorry im not tryna be mean but the only person who’s had an issue with it is that anon. Literally no one else has said anything abt it except support. If seeing a tag of me saying “my gf/partner sent me this” is a big issue then that says more abt you than me. I made this blog for me first and foremost. Ppl following and enjoying it is a lovely bonus, don’t get me wrong but it is a safe place for me. I treat this blog more of a personal blog than my main blog, even tho this is a specific character/fandom blog.
KSKSSKSK sorry I dumped this all on yur ask Kenzie 😭😭😭 I just wanted to get this out there that this is my blog and I’ll do whatever I want.

I disappear for a while then I come back to cry about being kink shamed, thinking I was over it and now feeling like I’m right back where I started again and haven’t written or worked on anything in months 😭
I’ve been posting this multi chapter fic in a fairly smallish niche fandom, especially for sickfic content. The thing is, I was getting pretty good engagement with kudos and some amazing comments etc. It’s been extremely obvious right from the start that it’s a blatant sickfic, the tags make it extremely clear, tagged as emeto etc etc
This is the second chapter that’s had actual emeto in, and I feel like it’s slightly more descriptive and graphic in this chapter than the last. As in, there is three lots of puking, it’s kinda centric to the chapter.
I posted this chapter, and suddenly… nothing. Barely any kudos and like two comments that were kinda weird and I didn’t know whether were good or not.
It sounds ungrateful but it’s not that at all. I’m not doing this for attention or “likes” but it’s kinda got in my head and made me really insecure, like the reason that it’s suddenly all gone really quiet is because my readers and people in this fandom are suddenly weirded out and grossed out by my writing. I know there have been a couple people who explicitly said they loved my fic as they are sick *this character* enjoyers and there’s absolutely no sickfic content in the fandom at all apart from me. But like, have I gone too far? Do people think it’s too much, too gross, have I weirded out the fandom?
I know it shouldn’t matter. If I was writing really graphic and pornographic smut, that wouldn’t matter. It doesn’t appeal to everyone, I personally don’t read it but like, writing that kinda thing really graphically is very accepted and normal. My emeto wasn’t even that graphic, just like, a standard sickfic amount. I’d like to think that the descriptions of vomiting weren’t like too explicit to be intolerable to someone who wasn’t explicitly into that. I do try and make my fics enjoyable as a whole and not just like pure emeto porn.
The insecurity of thinking that people now don’t like my fic anymore because it got too emeto and too graphic sickfic for them is just triggering a whole load of trauma and shame from the kink shaming I went through and I just can’t write anything and tbh I don’t want to update the fic anymore either even though I finished writing it months ago
Anyway this is just kinda a ramble but in case anyone is interested in reading it whether you’re in the fandom or not, I’ll link it anyway. I’m really not fishing for compliments, it just makes me sad that I’ve scared people away with too much emeto lol and they think I’m a psycho or something, but emeto is all I wanna write 😭

Can you try not to be so fucking judgmental when talking about other people’s ships? Ffs Obito and all Naruto characters are FUCKING FICTIONAL. You want a deranged sociopath go date one in real life, see how cute and alluring that is then. Lmao bro go outside, breathe the air, touch some grass, RELAX you fucking nasty elitist bitch. People like you are the worst and the reason why so many fandom spaces are absolutely shit. When life gets you THAT PRESSED because you don’t want to see Obito being “sweet” or a relationship between him and anyone your almighty godlike self doesn’t deem worthy? Yeah I’ve got a solution for that. Guess what it is 😊
This is super funny cuz I haven’t actually bad mouthed any ships, I think at most I gave reason as to why I didn’t like an Obito ship? Which I’ve muted the tag to it so I don’t even see it anyway lol
Either way, I just wanted more range in character analysis of Obito which is… not elitism at all? He’s a very important and multifaceted character that’s integral to the story of Naruto, how am I the worst for wanting to see those aspects of him that the fandom barely touches on? You seem to be an Obito fan yourself, why wouldn’t you want more exploration of his personality instead of the same 3 traits?? That’s so boring
I also, don’t wanna date a sociopath??? Lol what are you even saying I’m genuinely confused😭

hi! you asked for marauders fic recs so im here to give you some :)
idk if you’ve read these or any yet, so they might seem kinda basic. they’re just to introduce you to this world/the characters. i wish i had a list like this when i first got into the marauders fandom ngl
also these are only gonna be marauders era fics, if you want golden trio era fics as well, i can give you some!
anyway:
all the young dudes by mskingbean89 (completed, 527k words, wolfstar & jily): this is THE marauders fic for most ppl, and i just think of it as what happened canonically. no fic is perfect, but this should be every1’s first marauders era fic imo (you might’ve read this already cuz it’s SO popular). its from remus’ pov and it follows him throughout hogwarts and until (i think) poa or ootp
the wolf’s tail by myheadsgonenumb (wip, 457k words, no ships yet but prob wolfstar & jily): this one’s pretty underrated imo, and it’s SO WELL WRITTEN!!! this also follows remus throughout hogwarts. however id say the diff between this and atyd is that (so far at least) it focuses more on the war side of the marauders era, even when they are still young and at hogwarts. so if you’re interested in how actually dark and dangerous the times were back then, even for children, you will like this one! the only thing ill say for this is that its kinda very descriptive at points (ex. there’s a lot of newspaper clippings, book quotes, interview transcripts etc) but you can just gloss over them if you think they’re not that important. rn i think their 5th year just started, so keep that in mind (its gonna be a long one)!
the cadence of part-time poets by motswolo (completed, 980k words, wolfstar & jily): AAAAAAHHHH this one is my ALL TIME FAV (marauders era) FIC <33333 this is a muggle au, so no magic! this is also a remus pov (😭) and he goes to hawkings (which is basically hogwarts) in his (i think??) 4th year? or younger? smt like that :,). this fic also has my fav oc (tomny) hehe. as the tags say, its a band fic/au, but i’ll spoil no more!
the making of the map by fox_pitch (completed, 79k words, wolfstar & jily): this is a shorter one, but its also rlyyy good. pretty sure this starts and ends in their sixth year, but as the title suggests, its how the marauders map come to exist! its also how wolfstar gets together and its very cute and wholesome. the ending is kinda ambiguous in the sense that it doesn’t give any hints as to if anything changes in this fic’s universe’s future, but id assume not.
choices by messermoon (completed, 624k words, jegulus, wolfstar & jily): i kinda assumed you wanted the “canon” ships (aka jily and wolfstar) but if you’re interested in jegulus (james potter/regulus black) then this one is prob for you. i personally haven’t finished this fic, but ik its a jegulus classic/canon, just like atyd is for jily (& wolfstar). this one follows james, and it doesn’t start on his first year i think. it has alternating povs as well! however, as the tags warn, it is canon compliant, aka reg dies in the end, so do w that what you will :,)
only the brave by solmussa (completed, 646k words, jegulus, wolfstar, dorlene, rosekiller & pandalily): this is another jegulus fic! it has started being considered a classic and if you read it, you’ll understand why. this also does not start from their first year, and this one also has alternating povs! i love the writing and just general concept/plot of this one; i don’t love jegulus but i was still HOOKED w this fic, so yes. its rly good. and as you can see w the tags, this is a happy ending (aka, reg lives)!!!!! mwah love those.
art heist, baby! by otrbs (completed, 219k words, jegulus, wolfstar, dorlene, alice/frank longbottom - idk their ship name): i also have not read this fic, but ive only heard good things about it (and some sobs but that’s what you get for “major character death” : ) )! i know the ending of it tho, and it is kinda sad, so prepare yourself. it is a muggle au, and they basically wanna pull an art heist? yup lets go w that simple explanation.
that’s it for now bahhaha, and its a LOT, so enjoy! if you want shorter ones, i also have some i can show you, and if you’ve read these, lmk if you like them! <3
