2 for the end of year asks!! :]

(Ask post HERE)

Hiiiii <3

2. favourite fic of the year

I read too much fic. Hmm. Shit. We're turning this into Ryn's AO3 Wrapped: The Non-Embarrassing Version (Not An Exhaustive List At All). These were generally judged by how many times AO3 says I chose to re-visit them at 1AM and sob.

For screenreaders: Titles are hyperlinked, I'm @'ing the authors if I know they're on tumblr)

If they choose to see this: Hi. I think you're awesome. I'm just tagging you so people can find you #OnHere. I hope your Friday is rad. :)

Give him time by @obiwanobi personally came and murdered me when I went on another Star Wars kick back when Kenobi came out in June. Loosely canon-compliant, Obikin, and for big fans of characters who decide to re-work reality to bring the person they love back. Also, tragedy.

Accidental Baby Acquisition, which is basically What We Do In The Shadows + Baby. Carries the show tone off really well, is funny as hell, and features one of my favorite OCs ever in later installments in the form of Guillermo's sister Valentina.

The Uses of Adversity because I fell down The Sandman rabbithole like everyone else and "Crime Master!Hob", and this somehow became a comfort fic? He rescues Dream while imprisoned by Rodrick's son and it all spirals from there. Great characterization, great OCs, and there's a sequel happening!

Viable Alternatives, a House of the Dragon AU where Laenor exists to be more than a sad gay and artificial insemination exists! Big fan of how Rhaenyra doesn't get softened here and the Velaryons get more to do.

Time is a River was a real surprise to find, it's a time travel PJO AU that I thought was really fun--it makes Percy/Hermes work for me, which was a shock--and I kinda hope the author finds a sequel in them some day, (No pressure, of course; it was a gift to someone else, but also, it's rad and I want more).

I started reading Preserve or Raze by @foxyatlas before 2022, but the list doesn't feel right if I don't put it on here. It's a PJO AU where Percy winds up at Camp Jupiter, post-the original series, but I feel like it's cheating if I reveal the additional twist. Suffice to say, it is epic, has lots of shenanigans and worldbuilding, and I'd recommend it over Blood of Olympus anyday.

a girl who sees it all is super short, but it's a great Annabeth Chase bit, and I gotta include it.

Space Between is a Star Trek AOS one-shot in which Jim ruminates a lot in first person POV (I know! It's great! It works!) and looks pretty with his shirt off while Spock saves the day--as canon tends to go. Eventual love confessions ensue.

Went on a biiiig X-Men movies kick this year, which is the excuse for The Tower and the Hurricane being on the list. Set in a post-X-Men: First Class world where Magneto proves right and human-mutant war has ensued, and Xavier takes the school to his sanctuary. Lots of pining and tension set against a potential apocalypse, it's good times.

shoulder the sky (and the fic it inspired) is a fucking amazing Star Wars series featuring a lot of Obi-Wan whump, lot of pain, and a lot of the clones doing their best as the Jedi try to keep their shit together. 12/10, would watch everyone suffer again.

and we're gonna sing it again and again is the best Our Flag Means Death fic I have read, go argue with a wall.

kidnapping bruce wayne 'verse by @frownyalfred makes me laugh every time I read it, and is basically what it says on the tin: Bruce gets kidnapped a lot, he inevitably grows on the henchmen who are always contracted to kidnap him. There's a lot of unreliable POV in regards to A, the fact that Bruce is Batman, and B, Bruce is getting railed by Superman on a semi-regular basis, and it is prime comedy.

I regret nothing putting hand in unrebloggable hand (we go down together) on this list. Enjoy.

i won't be shamed by you is basically Buffy the Vampire Slayer is except Spike is really into reality TV and gradually infects the Scoobies with it. Background canon relationships, but the point is that Spike is invested in The Bachelor.

let not time deceive you (you cannot conquer time) is a modern The Old Guard AU where everyone is still immortal but Nicky is a millennial college student, with a lot of pining, lot of grad school and Catholic Church criticism, and a lot of angst. Also, Quynh shows up towards the end and she's a fucking delight.

I am not just recommending as wise as heaven and crueller than hell just because one of the stories was gifted to me by you. It's also fucking amazing PJO and possesses superior Nico and Luke characterization.

listen I know posts like this are painfully cliché, but for your consideration: the Magnus Chase series filmed in a Parks and Rec/The Office style

- Every time someone doesn't understand/refuses to use ASL, Hearth sends a long, withering stare into the camera

- That scene from the Office where Dwight sets the place on fire bc he was mad no one paid attention to his fire safety power point presentation??? Odin when he was still disguised as an einherjar

- Any time Anyone is being hard on themselves Magnus starts complimenting them like Leslie Knope compliments Ann

- Every time Magnus sends a sarcastic prayer to his father we cut to Frey just frowning in mild confusion

- Amir: "Samirah why did I get a letter from a norse god inviting me to your wedding???"

Sam:

- Any time Magnus says or does Anything, Alex either looks into the camera in exasperation or they cut to an aside of her ranting about how stupid he is

- The whole episode where Lil' Sebastian escaped the petting zoo and got lost in the maze, but like, when Fenris Wolf escaped his chains

- Jack the sword is literally just Jean-Ralphio

- Magnus, wearily throwing himself down in a seat outside of Fadlan's: "Give me all the falafel you have. Wait, wait- I'm worried what you just heard was 'give me a lot of falafel'. What I said was 'give me all the falafel you have'. Do you understand?"

- Loki is essentially just both the Tammy's and Jamm rolled into one

- Shots of Sam flying into danger and wielding an axe and just doing generic Valkyrie stuff and then they just pan over to Amir with wide eyes looking like he's about to faint

- Every time someone curses, Jack lets out a "beeeeep" to censor it; Jack curses freely

- *one of those weird and uncomfortable Inge and Hearth scenes happen*

Blitzen: "The thing about Alfheim culture is...I don't understand it."

- Every time there's a battle happening a weirdly non-battle song plays but the scene will occasionally splice to an aside of Jack just singing that song off-tune

- Every time Magnus forgets he's supposed to be the healer of the group, the person who's dying stares into the camera until it hits him

- Cut to scenes of Blitz and Hearth on one of their aside secret missions- "DONT be SUSPICIOUS, DONT BE S U S P I C I O U S~~~~" asl is worked into the dance moves

- Fredrick and Annabeth: 'Hey where the fuck is Magnus?'

Randolph: "~~Technically he's HOMELESSSSS~~~~"

- We still get all the ridiculous death scenes in Valhalla but all the warriors act like the Citizens of Pawnee even when they're dying like they're Awful.

ex) Alex, holding a vase to one of the managers: "Yeah I made this in one of your pottery classes??? It's TERRIBLE!" *throws it so hard at them they loose an eye*

ex) TJ, dying in his bed: "Yeah you know that water fountain with the 'do not drink the water' sign? Halfborn dared me to drink from it and now I'm dying of a fatal infection. Sir, sir are you listening??? Sir I'm TALKING TO YOU! Are you aware that there's waste in your water system???"

ex) Mallory, twelve arrows sticking out of her and slowly bleeding to death: "I don't know what I did to deserve this." - Magnus: "You were yelling at a bunch of little kids on the battlefield." - "Well they SUCKED!"

- Every time someone predicts Blitz or Hearth is gonna die the camera pans in on Magnus who groans into the camera

- "Thor has never had a real job...in his LIFE,"

- "Mallory, you're like a Valkyrie without flight magic!" - "...So like a person?"

- Every time Loki invades Magnus' dreams he talks as if he's expecting a laugh track and Magnus just gets more and more confused

- Magnus: "I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my entire life."

Blitz and Hearth: "We know this, and we love you."

- During the brief percabeth cameo in Ship of the Dead, every time Magnus or Alex stares into the camera or does an aside or something, Percy and Annabeth are like...what the fuck are you doing. What are you looking at. Who are you talking to. Why are the Norse like this???

- Hearth: *belittles or doubts himself*

Magnus and Blitz: *signing aggressively* YOU HAVE A L L THE STRENGTHS

- Alex: "Someone will DIE..."

Magnus: ".....of fun?"

- When Leslie lowkey kidnapped the gay penguins and took them to Iowa where it was legal??? Magnus with Thor's goats

- Basically everyone who isn't human is an Eagletonnian like that's why they're so fake nice about guest rights lol

- The cameras are really just Odin's ravens

- Any time Magnus and Alex have a moment(tm) you can see Sam lurking in the background making excited eyebrows into the camera

- Any time they gotta talk about crafting or fashion Blitz is basically Tom Haverford you know I'm right

- When gods make ridiculous requests or give dumb orders and you get a shaky zoom in on the mains looking ready for the end

- Remember when Jerry lied about getting mugged bc he didn't want to admit he got messed up trying to get a burrito?? Magnus after he tried and failed to fight that eagle that stole his falafel

- Blitz has absolutely said 'treat yo self' at least once

- Loki, complaining about his eternal punishment: "I am the victim of a hate crime!"

Magnus: "That's...not what a hate crime is."

Loki: "WELL I HATED IT."

- Mimir is basically Orin

- Alex: *exists*

Magnus: "Whats a not gay way to ask him to go camping with me?"

- my laptop's dying but I will not drop this I'll be back later
