For the Love of Fic: December 9

I'm doing my best to get through my massive reading list by the end of the year, so buckle up, fam, you're about to get served a buffet of fic. There's so many tasty morsels here, even Mama Flores has to appreciate this feast.

🪐 = Year of Themed Creation Fics!

FRANKIE MORALES

Sheer Desire by @the-blind-assassin-12 Okay so imagine you're Frankie's +1 to a Millerboy wedding. And there's dancing and yearning and flirting involved. And the knowledge that after the reception, you're going to have him all to yourself. Now add in black thigh-high nylons. And the desire to see them in his hands. And his desire to have those lacy tops pressed against his ears.... IT'S HOT LIKE FIRE. DID YOU THINK IT WOULD NOT BE. GO GET IT.

2023 Summer Kiss Prompt #2: Frankie Morales - Kiss in the Hammock by @something-tofightfor I mean, who doesn't want to be cuddled up in a hammock with Frankie? Who doesn't want those soft curls and soft lips and warm arms all pressed up against you?

2023 Summer Kiss Prompt #12: Frankie Morales - Kiss in the Dark / Break Up Kiss by @something-tofightfor A little angst and a lot of love are on display here. Frankie's here to show his responsible and protective side, and while there's plenty of hurt, he does it oh so softly and I'm just glad we are left with hope.

2023 Summer Kiss Prompt #14: Frankie Morales - “I miss you” Kiss / Angry Kiss by @something-tofightfor So remember that hope I just mentioned up there? Same pairing here, and the hope pays off. It's not without some real talk, but perhaps that's what makes the love even more deliciously sincere.

The day Frankie both loves and loathes the kitchen counter by @undercoverpena This is such a wonderful domestic Frankie POV piece. The way he wants to be better for reader, to provide more, to keep promises...the way he adores everything about her, including how she loves to bundle up in his clothes... Getting a peek inside a man who is sweet and loving and seeing the motivations there is such a treat. I really got swept up in this one.

MARCUS PIKE

The Thing About Second Chances by @artemiseamoon 🪐 This is exquisite. The pain of walking away really hurt. But then, when they met again it is so masterfully done...there are all these little impulses of his, wanting to do everything for her that could easily be overbearing except that he's just so damn loveable and it's hard to watch two people who clearly live each other be denied. I'm not sure he can really change all that much, but I am really pulling for them. Sometimes a little time apart can really drive home how much you can miss someone. Beautiful.

The Moon in May - Full Moon by @hopeamarsu Alpha Marcus. and. sitting on lap. purring and. teasing and soft and spreading you open but requiring go slow. is a tasty treat. brain mush. purring chest at my back. yes please.

JOEL MILLER

Something Wild and Unruly by @ezrasbirdie Okay, remember when I said that there was a fic that was so beautiful it made me want to quit writing? This is it, and I mean that as a high compliment. Like, I finished it and just put my head in my hands and stared out the window with a big smile on my face. It's outlaw!Joel and old west sex worker!reader with a heart of gold and a good attitude about what she does. It's got so so so much feels and yearning and softness and bathing and the ending is beautiful and full of hope...this fic is up all of my alleys and making all of my jams and is my entire life mood. It is my new official Fave Birdie Fic™️ and I need to sing that to the world.

Small Joys: Wheelbug by @keldabe-kriff 🪐 The whole point of Lyr's Small Joys series is just that--joys. So it seems antithetical for Ellie to have found a bug that's big and bitey and for Joel to freak out about and try to bat it away. But the joy part of it comes from reader's reaction--to the wonder at finding a wheelbug in nature where it wasn't expected--and Ellie's, who of course will always find wonder in something new. Simple and beautifully done.

Small Joys: Leaf Pile by @keldabe-kriff 🪐 Yes, the joy here is jumping in a leaf pile, but the joy I got from it was being able to hear Joel and Ellie perfectly in this. I also love the process Ellie gets to have in collecting the leaves and talking to a neighbor. It's really delightful.

The Sun Will Shine Again by @foli-vora I can't imagine dealing with crippling depression during the years after the outbreak, how hard and crippling it would be. And yet, I think I'd be able to manage if Joel was on my side, telling me he'd carry me as long as he could just to make sure I made it through. This is just such a beautiful piece. I want to curl up in it like a blanket.

Tangled Triumphs by @planet-marz1 I think my blood sugar levels hit an all-time high with this one and I ascended into the heavens. Joel learns to do Sarah's hair and it's so sweet and precious and I love them. Please read this. I need other people to share my squeals.

JACK DANIELS

Cast Iron Sunshine part 1: Think I'll Call You Sunshine and part 2: Daisy by @blueeyesatnight Color me intrigued. We got ourselves a cocky cowboy in the wild west and a female doctor reader with some determination, sass, and willingness to sport a revolver, and I want more of that push and pull I'm sure is coming. The first meeting is just enough tingle to rub my hands together with glee. HE'S SUCH A SHIT. But then comes Daisy and she's here to lay some hearts open...

What Happens in Vegas.., ...Never Really Ends in Vegas, and Forever by @wildemaven A beautiful drabble trio that encompasses the realization that you've accidentally-in-Vegas married Jack, trying to quit him, and being unable to do so. Do yourself a favor, don't think about it too hard, and give into your cowboy.

Remember Me by @toomanystoriessolittletime This twisted my little heart and melted me in so many ways. When Jack is brought back and can't remember his girlfriend? Can I just cry a river? No worries though, the ending's a happy, hopeful one.

DIETER BRAVO

Thought That I Was Dreaming by @haylzcyon Salty, spicy, and sweet all at once...this may just be my dream Dieter smut. I very much love a "did he really say???" but then the reason for her not asking was perfect. How does Haylz make the very filthiest filth the sweetest sweet?

Sleazy Santa by @morallyinept This what happens when Dieter's not an actor, just a tremendous sleezebag working as a mall Santa (he's respectful to the kids) and you can't stop wanting that scummy D and go bang dirty in the Grotto. There's candy cane action. It's real nasty. And written like a fkn gourmet meal. The sweatier Jett writes this slimeball, the more I want. I don't know how. It's like Christmas magic. Delicious.

Crawling Back to You by @prolix-yuy This fic is a feast and all of my favorite dishes are on the table. Monsterfkn. Demons. Blasphemy. Sexy contracts. Dieter being a menace. And softness????? This is smut and it is hot hot hot, but there's enough here that's sweetness and fondness that it's going straight to my forever faves list. HE RUINS HER SO NICELY. UGH!

Rendezvous in Reno by @theywhowriteandknowthings A Dieter with small-dick insecurities? Please and thank you, this is super cute. I'd love to get called out for describing his junk wrong in my fics and get a personal correction.

It's Never Over by @pennyserenade We don't get enough exes-to-friends fic around here, and this one is really nice. As much as I hope for them to connect again, I respect their love for each other and their need to just let themselves be special to each other. There were moments here that were bittersweet, but I really loved that about it.

DIN DJARIN

Birfday--Din by @writeforfandoms Listen. Is it so wrong that I want to cook a nice breakyfast to show Din how much he's loved? Is that too much to ask? Thanks, Jen, for something soft and sweet.

Then We'll Find Out Together by @missredherring A lovely little drabble about settling down in a new home with Din, getting used to the slowness and softness and niceness of everything. And when reader can't sleep, the one thing that's familiar--Din himself--is what calms her down. A lovely little drabble that I would like to live in.

Bounty and Hunter by @never--doubt 🪐 A soulmate fic wherein soulmates can't hurt each other. How interesting then that one of you is being hunted...and makes quite a game out of it?

Significant by @softlyspector He's been calling you riduur for months and you still don't know what it means. Once you find out, that's when the fireworks start. I don't know that I've read dialogue for Din and his sweetheart that affected me the way the last two lines of this fic did...... *swoons*

PERO TOVAR

Watercolor by @iamskyereads I mean, give a sellsword a bath and you may be in for trouble. But not this man. This man just needs a little care, and while he may not say much, he make good on all kindnesses. I would do anything to give this man a bath and have him speak kindly to me.

Date or Inseminate by @sirowsky Now listen. You're gonna have to read the warnings on this, because I for one get really squicked by dub-con mixed with medical malpractice. I didn't read the warnings and it came out of nowhere....but I'm telling you my eyebrows shot up and then I just giggled through the whole thing like WHAT IS HAPPENING. Sometimes fic is just there to be fun and slap you silly. IRL? No please. But this? Go in with the right mood and it's just strangely and shockingly delightful smut.

JAVI GUTIERREZ

Formula 101: December to Remember Part 2: Take What Comes by @littlemisspascal There's a lot to love about Rae's F1 media fic. Even outside of the easter eggs in the worldbuilding and the lovely way Javi and Oddball's relationship develops, there are the delightful media interludes--emails, texts, instagram posts complete with character comments--that use pictures and dialogue to move the plot along in a unique way. I love how a short text chain not only sets up a later story locale, but illustrates a history and relationship between two characters so fluidly. Every chapter is a delight to see how the media enhances the storyline...a storyline that is moving in a very interesting direction...

SPECIAL GUEST CORNER

BO KATAN KRYZE

Hiding Away from the Galaxy by @ghostofskywalker 🪐 I love a good reunion story. Here, you're an ex-Jedi who has a past with Bo and come to find her when all the wars are done. I'd agree that it's worth the wait when she takes you in her arms....

MARC SPECTOR

My Knight in White by @flightlessangelwings 🪐 Jey's been doing a year of protectiveness, and you know I don't mind that AT ALL. I would love nothing more than to have Marc follow me home and protect me. And then, yeah, if he let me follow him home...and into his bedroom....I wouldn't complain..... *swoon*

WIP Wednesday

thank you to everyone who has tagged me these past few weeks, though I haven't had much to share! I'm still fiddling around with part two of my Trojan War novel, so here's some more Briseis.

Lyrnesses was not a rich city by any stretch, but every slave had their own room, handmade clothes, and went to bed at night with a full belly. To some that may have meant nothing. They were still slaves, and that was its own indignity that no amount of kindness could lessen, I had learned. But my own father, born to a wealthy family in Ethiopia, was taken by pirates as a child and sold as a slave. He arrived at Lyrnesses as a young man, where he was freed, eventually attracting the attention of my mother, who fought for her right to marry him, dismissing every wealthy suitor her father offered her to until he relented. They were a rare love match, and I grew up hoping to model their affection in my own marriage.

My father never forgot his mistreatment, and understood how quickly and startlingly a person’s fate could change, and so he was always kind to those less fortunate. I wondered if he ever could have anticipated how my life would turn out to echo his own, to be free, enslaved, and then freed again. But as a woman, I was never as free as he became, and knew I never would be. I would be forever tethered to that part of my life by the children I carried within me.

I thought of my mother. Her deft hands braiding my hair, her clear voice singing along to a bard’s lyre as she did so. My father crooning back to her, making her very name a song. “Hippodamia…”

“Briseus…” She would reply, and tug at one of my curls. I was named after him, and the reminder always made me grin.

a long discussion of Briseis's appearance, plus tags, under the cut:

Briseis is an interesting case when it comes to visualising her. Most greek myth characters are depicted as roughly the same as they're described, but Briseis is so inconsistent! she's described by Homer as fair, and by Ovid as incredibly pale. most renaissance depicts her as blonde, and Natalie Haynes describes her as such in A Thousand Ships. but plenty of more modern art makes her brunette, as she is in the film Troy and the series Troy: Fall Of A City.

and then there's Madeline Miller's The Song Of Achilles, one of the most popular books to feature Briseis, where she is black. I have issues with the writing of all the women in Miller's book, and dislike Briseis being presented as a commoner, who can't speak greek and worships foreign gods, when she was a Queen, and the Trojans had the same gods. not to mention that Miller also kills her off (spoilers? the book is over a decade old) when we simply don't know what happens to her after the Iliad. the entire point of my writing is to fill in that gap in her story.

anyway, i don't mind her being black, and like the art the book has inspired. though i've seen some people say they dislike this choice, as Briseis was a slave, but ancient Greek slavery was a very different concept from the slavery of America and the colonies, and less about skin colour than simply being on the losing side of an invasion or war. that isn't to diminish what those people must have gone through, but there are more slaves in the world right now that there were in any period of ancient history. my Briseis is also given her freedom before the story kicks off.

so in the end, i decided to combine elements of all these depictions. i like Briseis having African heritage like so much art depicts. i like her being pale and looking good in dark colours like Ovid says. so, my Briseis is half Anatolian, half Ethiopian, and has albinism. a mix of this sculpture and this model is pretty much exactly how i envision her.

as for the people who get up in arms any time any person with more than a slight tan is depicted in Greek myth tellings, quite frankly, i don't care to hear it. it's fiction. there are gods meddling in people's lives and you're critiquing the accuracy of someone's ethnicity? anyway, there was an African man in the Trojan War, Memnon, the son of Eos, the goddess of the dawn, and presumably he brought other African soldiers with him. freaking Aphrodite is an evolution of Inanna, a Mesopotamian goddess. Andromeda, the wife of Perseus, was from Ethiopia, and Poseidon is also said to be visiting Africa at the beginning of the Odyssey. the ancient Mediterranean was a melting pot of cultures that was well aware of northern Africa long before the Romans conquered Carthage- which is also visited by Aeneas and his fellow Trojans!

Wouldn’t it be kinda hilariously ironic, what with Charles II being the Restoration King and bringing back the Monarchy, if almost 400 years later there’s finally another Charles on the throne and he’d be the last one?

Just something to think about... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

maybe I just have brainrot but I want to write a minific w the nuclear waste warning message SOOOO badly. it would be cool

#.lyr #ive got some bits in my notes app #its. sr ofcourse #this place is not a place of honor;#theyre not sure if invis is the move of a mastermind or a coward. they shrug it off. either way it means they live longer.#nothing valued is here;#the wooden box of a house they built at spawn feels a bit more like a coffin than a home. empty of life.#the danger is in a particular location;#for as long as it takes them to find the stronghold it doesnt even feel like that long.#(significantly less time than they spent near spawn. less bad luck too)#the danger is still present;#the sigh of relief when '0 players left' flashes across their vision does nothing to negate the battle theyre heading into.#the danger is to the body and it can kill;#and it does. oh it does.#this place is best shunned and left uninhabited;#and by the end. well. it is.#grabs me by the shoulders and shakes please did that get the brainrot over this out /hj

🚶‍♂️💨 Hihi again I had another question. What is Tiphares like?

hgjkhsd ILL TAKE EM ALL I LOVE IT!!!

Tiphares is...... sad. honestly LOL one of my saddest ocs that i have which is rly saying smth i have a habit of writing tragedy and he's pretty up there in the top 10.

in my setting ive adapted the same idea from the last unicorn in that, forests are kept alive by the unicorns that live in them, and Tiphares had a forest in the southern continent which is the dark continent Voidus Lyr, his forest isnt exactly a traditional one its not green and eternal spring but it was alive, usually covered in ice and snow, dark and still pretty. it was a good place for the kinds of creatures living in it.

Eventually, Tiphares was hunted by mortals, he was chased out of his forest into demon territory to corner him so they could kill him and possibly sell his horn and blood and whatever else is profitable from a unicorn body, and he SADLY was the first unicorn to actually kill someone, and because of this he lost his ability to heal and maintain his forest, and it eventually died. (along with a lot of the residents inside of it save for a small number that resisted curses and kept their little patch of forest cleansed, or some that escaped to different countries)

BECAUSE OF THIS Tiphares fell into a deep despair, he came across the whispering of an old god that was offering his power back if he did him favors and Tiphares took the deal. He summoned a false hydra for the god that in the future also spread a sickness across the entire continent that in current time is still killing mass amounts of people and causing death across the entire land. When he learned what he did and that his powers never returned Tiphares had tried to die by his own hand but unfortunately unicorns are one of the few creatures that are truly immortal :( so he lives with a lot of guilt and sadness in his life. He cant heal anything, and his magic only kills the nature around him when his emotions get bad enough.

ITS NOT GOING TO BE A BAD END FOR HIM THOUGH I THINK he does have a partner that loves him very much that he reconnected with from a long time ago, he hadnt seem him since they were much younger but since feeling unconditional love from his old friend again he's starting to feel his natural magic coming back in tiny amounts. No healing but he can use little bits of ice magic again.

😈 "SMASH YOUR COMPETITION, BABY!" /lyr 😈

You've met Starbright, but now it's time to introduce her archnemesis Hysteria! 💟 Ever since she was a kid, Hysteria had always wanted to be a magical girl just like the ones she saw on TV, but she was never chosen, and over the years she grew bitter and spiteful. Eventually she realised, if she can't be the hero, she'll be the villain instead, and with the help of a mischievous fairy she gained the powers of darkness. Now she's living her best life while trying to take over the world and usurp Starbright as the greatest magical girl! 😈

I can’t believe that an irken’s retirement also means death. I thought they’d be able to leave the military and live their own life in peace somewhere. So their paks clock down is detonated automatically? Or do they have to go to the control brains to do it?

Thus is a system that doesn't value its laborers. The Irken empire has no use or tolerance for a drone unable or unwilling to serve it, no matter how many centuries of service they already dedicated.

Technically, retired drones ARE allowed to live their own lives in peace... for an additional 10 years, max. Depending on the health of the retired drone, they might pass away of natural causes before the scheduled expiration date.

A drone ready to retire manually submits their request to the red brain at the closest control brain hub. The life clock doesn't start the countdown until the red brain approves the retirement request. Once approved, the red brain sends a message stating you are officially de-encoded and relieved of duty to the retiree's communication device installed in their PAKs. A drone is never given an official email stating the countdown started or what have you. A drone can just.. feel it.

Lyr "Ten years? That's it? But you're still so full of life-"

Hoola "Ha! You should have seen me 500 years ago. Things are sliding downward pretty quickly for me."

Lyr "But I just met you. Now you're tellin' me your shitty boss brains won't even let you live long enough to come celebrate my 30th birthday?"

Hoola "Afraid so, but I appreciate the invite."

Lyr *sniff* "You're ok with this arrangement?"

Hoola "Don't have much say in the matter. Besides, I've lived an excruciatingly long life. Another decade alive is all I can stand without the drones I held dearest to me around. I'll make the best of it."

Lyr "You don't have anyone back home to spend your last days with or look after you if your health goes to shit?"

Hoola "I said I'll make the best of it."

Lyr "You can go where you please right, since you're honorably de-encoded?"

Hoola "Within reason."

Lyr "Come to earth then. You can live with me and my mums. They won't mind having an Irken around and I'll look after you."

Hoola "That's... an offor, but I couldn't impose."

Lyr "Yeah you could! At least think about it, please? I don't want to go back to Melbourne knowing my buggy grandpa might pass on before I get to say goodbye."

Hoola "Aw, smeetie, if I knew this would upset you to this extent I would have kept my mouth shut."

Essential Life Skills

I've had nothing but Yargwynn and Paradise brain rot for the past couple days because of @gwenifreds amazing art piece (go check it out if you haven't)! So, I put pen to paper and wrote out how I think the moment played out!

— ˗ˋ ୨୧ ˊ˗ —

It had been a couple weeks since Arkov and Yargwynn had confessed their mutual feelings to one another and gone forward in pursing a romantic relationship. Being able to learn more and more about his Paradise always had the Space Captain excited to start the new day — and today was no different. After completing the weekly supplies check-up with Lyr, Yargwynn realized that the Hercules was lacking in supplies. To rectify the supply shortage, the ship made an impromptu pitstop at the closest planet for the night before they would continue on their journey.

As the day shifted to evening, the entire crew had just finished collecting all the supplies necessary for the ship when the faint noises of music and dancing became known to Yargwynn. Out of curiosity, he followed the mysterious commotion and came across a tavern filled with people dancing and singing! Yargwynn immediately rushed out and called out for his crew to join in on the festivities, because what better way to spend the night before resuming a mission than partying to the nines with your crew?

The hours passed and the music continued to sound across the room, with every member of the Hercules enjoying the lively environment! People were clapping, drinking, and dancing to their hearts content as if the world only existed within the confines of this cozy tavern. Out of the corner of his eye, Yargwynn spotted Arkov lightly tapping their foot as they sat engaged in conversation with Lyr.

He extended his hand out to them, ushering them to their feet. “Hey Paradise, up you get, come on, come on!”

“What do you mean Yargwynn?”

“Come on now what kind of Captain would I be if I didn’t show one of my favourite crew members a good time on the dance floor?”

“Oh no, no, I don’t dance really Yargwynn. I’m enjoying myself here with Lyr, I promise!”

“Now there’s no way you’re enjoying yourself talking to Lyr as everyone parties around you! No offence Lyr.”

The Huma-Alter scoffed at Yargwynn, “None taken, rest assured.”

Yargwynn could see the hesitation in Arkov, but he was determined to show them a good time here while he could.

“What are you so nervous about? If it’s people staring don’t worry, the place is so crowded no one will pay us any mind!”

Whispering so only Yargwynn could hear, they said to him, “It’s not the staring it’s just, I can’t dance. I was never taught how.”

“Well, even more reason for us to get on the dance floor Paradise! Dancing is an essential skill in life you know? And it’s my sworn duty as Captain of the Hercules that all my crew members are equipped with the most necessary life skills! Now, up you get, come on!”

Hesitantly, Arkov took Yargwynn’s hand and joined him on the dance floor. Taking their hand in his, and bringing his other hand to their lower back, Yargwynn brought them in closer and began to dance to the upbeat tune. They kept looking to their feet to make sure they weren’t stumbling as Yargwynn smiled and laughed at their determination to not stumble.

“Yargwynn, wait, slow down I can’t keep up I don’t know the steps!”

“It’s not about knowing the steps, it’s about feeling the vibe of the music!”

“Well how do I feel the vibe of the music?”

Yargwynn laughed at their straightforward attitude — by the Gods did he love them more and more every day. “You feel it like this! There’s no one way to dance at a party like this, Paradise! You just do what feels right!”

As the music sped up, Yargwynn moved faster and guided Paradise around the dance floor, spinning them and laughing as their eyes grew frantic. However, that fear slowly turned to enjoyment as they followed Yargwynns advice. They did what felt right, and spun around with Yargwynn to the musics upbeat and fast tune. They couldn’t remember the last time they felt so, so free.

The entire room melted around Yargwynn because as far as he was concerned, in this moment, it was only him, his Paradise, and the music accompanying them. Their smile radiated the entire room, and their eyes held a twinkle that would rival even the brightest constellations.

As Yargwynn spun Paradise outward and brought them back into his chest so they were face-to-face, the music came to a stop and the two were mere centimetres apart.

“You aren’t too shabby at this dancing thing Paradise.”

“Well, I had an amazing teacher after all. The great Space Captain Yargwynn Salta.”

“That sounds like an amazing teacher right there.”

“Mhmm hmm, he is. Thank you, Yargwynn, for this.”

Leaning forward, Yargwynn brought Paradise in for a kiss. “It was my pleasure, Paradise.”
