Chapter IV: When You're Young, You Just Run

Pairing: Joel Miller x F!Reader (afab)

Chapter length: 4.2k

Warnings/Tags: injury recovery, light angst

Chapter III

Series Masterlist

notes: second to last chapter ahhh! thank u for reading and enjoying this fic with me, you're all just great humans!

Joel takes me up a nearby hill outside of the town’s walls, through old trails, over fallen trees and across the crunchy snow. I wrap my arms around him, pressing the side of my face into the back of his jacket, and I tell myself that it’s to shelter my face from the oncoming icy wind.

The view up here is incredible, stretching across the entire town and all the way to the hydro-plant beyond. Mountains surround us, covered in white, with light grey clouds hanging low over them and blue skies higher up. I can see birds of prey soaring up above us; could probably hear them if I listened closely enough. Despite the wind and the gentle crunch of Felix’s hooves on the snow, it’s so silent out here.

These days, silence isn’t necessarily the same thing as safe, but Joel tells me that this is one of his regular patrol routes, and he knows it well. If anything’s hiding somewhere, he knows where they’ll be.

So I just enjoy it.

Eventually we find our way to a building that looks half-snowed under. It’s not entirely covered, though; it’s a lookout post, probably used for fire watch way back when. A decent size, but only a square, the windows are mostly boarded up, except for one on each wall. Joel unlocks the door and the five padlocks that hold it shut. Before leading Felix inside, he helps me down, holding my weight until I’m stable.

Once we’re all in, and Felix is munching happily on the net of hay that’s already strung up in here, I take a moment to look around. There’s a hunting rifle propped up in the corner, along with some ammunition, and a bow sitting next to it with a few arrows strewn across the floor. A wicker bench, like something from a garden furniture set, is in front of one of the windows, complete with a pillow and a blanket. In the other corner there’s a fold-up chair beside a locked case, presumably full of more supplies.

“We keep it stocked for an emergency,” Joel explains, leading me over to the bench. I can manage without my crutches now, but the cold makes it harder, so he supports me around my waist until I’m sitting down. “People’ve got stuck here in blizzards before.”

“Thought you said this place was safe?” I joke.

He chuckles and grabs the blanket, wrapping it carefully around my shoulders. “It is. I promise. Here, put your leg up.” He gestures for me to turn in my place, taking a gentle hold of my ankle. Following his guidance, I lift up my leg and grimace at the discomfort. It feels better for having it up, though.

“Warm enough?” Joel asks.

“For now,” I say. “Depends how long you keep me here.”

“You make it sound like I’m holding you prisoner,” he pulls across the fold-out chair, takes off his backpack before sitting down opposite me.

“I mean, I can’t exactly leave on my own right now,” I smirk, gesturing to my leg.

He reaches into his backpack and pulls out his canteen. “How’s it feeling?”

“Better. A lot better.”

“Amazing what a little rest can do, huh?”

“Yeah. You’d know.”

He looks up at me and raises an eyebrow. “Really, with the sarcasm?”

“We all know you don’t know how to just stop and rest,” I say. “Don’t think I’ve seen you chill out since…well, ever.”

He holds up his flask like it’s proving a point, and gestures to the room around him. “What does it look like I’m doin’ now?”

The light from the windows surrounds us, casting shadows over his face. His cheeks are flushed pink from the cold, his lips just a little blue. It takes me a moment to gather my thoughts enough to respond, but before I can, he reaches into his pack and pulls out two…whisky glasses?

When he opens his flask and pours it, I expect to see water. But, nope. A golden amber liquid flows out into the glasses, and the smell hits me in an instant.

Yup, that’s whisky alright.

“Joel,” I gasp teasingly, “are you usually such a rebel on patrol?”

Grinning lopsidedly, he hands me one of the glasses. “This ain’t a patrol,” he says. I take it from him, and our fingers brush together for a second. “And it’s good for warmth.”

“Ah. And here I thought you were finally going to chill out.”

“Alright, alright,” he shakes his head and uses his own glass to gesture to mine. “Drink.”

“What are we drinking to?”

He doesn’t answer. He looks up and takes a good sip, smacking his lips after he’s swallowed. I watch the movement in his throat; his Adam’s apple bobbing down then up again. His eyes follow the glass as he lowers it again.

I wait for him to speak. Nervous, I lift my own glass to my lips and take a sip. It’s good. The best I’ve had in years, actually. The warmth goes all the way down my throat and to my insides, spreading through me in an instant. It makes me shiver in the best way. “Damn,” I say into the quiet. “That’s good shit. Strong, though.”

Joel nods in agreement. “Best in my collection.”

“Collection, huh? You’re living it up here in Jackson.”

“Sure am,” he smiles, wry. Tips his glass at me, then takes another sip. A small moment of quiet passes. “What brought you to Wyoming?” He asks then, surprising me. “Were you comin’ to Jackson?”

“No,” I almost laugh. “How would I have known about it? And besides, if I’d known there were so many people here I’d have stayed well away.”

“People find us in all sorts of ways. You’d be surprised how fast news travels.”

I shrug a shoulder and take another drink.

“So where’d you go?” He asks. Then, as if he wanted to word it differently, “I mean—where’ve you been? Since you…since we parted ways?”

“Here and there. I wanted to go South for the winter, but my plans went South instead, I guess.”

“You were alone when we found you,” he says, glancing up at me. “Have there been…any other groups since the old days? Friends…partners?”

I shake my head. For a moment, my thoughts are too bleak to say anything. I think of what it was like to be a hunter. It was hell. Carnage every day and night. Tommy and I used to talk of leaving; Joel was always reluctant, saying that we were safer staying put. He was probably right—that is, if my feelings hadn’t gotten in the way.

After that, it seemed better to be alone.

“No,” I answer eventually, staring solemnly down at my nearly-empty drink. It’s giving my head a nice buzz. A little burn in the back of my throat. If I really let myself, I could believe that we're in a cabin in the mountains during normal life, on vacation, sitting and enjoying a drink on the stoop before heading to bed.

“You…you’ve been alone this whole time?”

“Yeah,” I sigh.

He’s surprised into silence, it seems.

I glance up at him and catch him staring. He looks away straight away, but I see something on his face. Something sad. A slight crease in his brow, his mouth open a little like he can’t quite believe what he’s hearing; like what he’s hearing devastates him.

“Jesus Christ,” he curses eventually, just a breath. Staring at nothing, he shakes his head. “You survived on your own all this time.…”

“Yeah. I mean, I wouldn’t have survived this,” I motion to my leg, “if I’d been alone last week. But other than that…yeah. Just me. Sometimes it’s easier like that. Easier to slip past people unnoticed.”

He still looks upset. He opens his mouth like he wants to say something, then closes it again. I want him to look at me so badly that it hurts. I want him to turn to me and let the morning sunlight shine on his face and make all the coldness around me fade away.

I never thought I’d see him again. I thought I was dying, I thought I was hearing things when his voice came to me.

“Joel…” I start, finding a lump in my throat I hadn’t noticed before.

“You didn’t have to leave,” he says before I can say any more. Finally, he looks at me, and there is so much sadness and regret in his eyes that it actually hurts. “You hear me?” He asks. “You never had to leave. Back then. You could’ve stayed.”

“Joel…I already told you, I couldn’t let myself…”

He sighs. Looks away again, down at his glass, shaking his head over and over so much that he must be getting dizzy.

“Joel,” I say again. It feels like the only thing I can say that makes sense. “You don’t…we don’t have to talk about this…”

“Yes, we do.”

“…Okay. Yeah. You’re right.”

“I need you to hear me,” he says. Then his eyes meet mine, and it’s different. More intense, purposeful. I couldn’t look away even if I tried—even if I wanted to. “You didn’t have to leave. You told me why you left, and I’m telling you, it wasn’t…you didn’t need to.”

I shake my head. “I did,” my voice comes out as nothing but a whisper. “I did, Joel. I couldn’t—I couldn’t keep how I felt to myself, I couldn’t keep it in check…”

“Goddamit, you’re not—you didn’t have to keep it in check!” He raises his voice just slightly. “I’m trying to tell you that I…I had those feelings, too. Okay? It—it wasn’t just you.”

Oh.

I freeze.

Oh.

“…Oh,” because suddenly the racing chaos of my mind is silenced to just that one syllable.

He holds my eyes for another long, piercing moment, then looks away. Briefly he seems to consider something, his jaw working away as he thinks, and then he puts his glass on the floor and runs a hand over his hair. Jesus. The silver flecks in it are shining in the sunlight.

“I get why you thought you had to leave,” he says, quiet again. “I do. And honestly, I’m not sure I could say I wouldn’t’ve done the same thing if I were you. But I…if you’d just told me back then, if I’d known…”

Somehow, I manage to swallow the emotion in my throat enough to say, “Would it have made a difference?”

“It would have made every difference.” He says, with a tone that says Are you kidding me?

“Oh,” again. Dumbly. “But…it’s not like we could’ve…we could never have been…” I know what I’m trying to say, but it won’t come out. How do I express that I just never saw a way for a relationship to work? That I never saw how we could possibly fall in love and be together and act like everything was normal, like there wasn’t enough blood on our hands to fill a bathtub?

I close my mouth and regroup for a second. Or, try to.

“I just,” I say, my voice coming out smaller than I’d expected, “I thought I was protecting you.”

Resting his elbow on his knee, he runs his hand over his mouth, rubs it across his beard. He does it a few times as he stares ahead at nothing again, deep in thought.

I watch him, silent. Waiting.

Then, he takes a breath. “Do you still feel that way now?” He drags his eyes to me, and holds them.

I swallow heavily. Wide-eyed, I stare at him. “I…” yes. Of fucking course I do, Joel. I loved you then, and I love you now. I will always fucking love you. “Yeah,” I admit. I can’t lie to him, and really, there’s no point now, anyway. “I do. I never stopped.”

For so long, he just stares at me. Nervous, I fiddle with the fabric of my gloves, pulling at loose threads, unsure how much damage I’m causing to them because I can’t fucking tear my eyes away from Joel’s, despite the fact his gaze is making me lose my mind. I decide to take the gloves off, suddenly feeling closed-in by them.

I keep trying to speak, to fill the silence somehow, to try and mend a wound that I’m not sure is even still open anymore. It feels like it’s closed: the chasm of questions and pain between us is different now. Lighter. Like how Joel looks lighter these days, without the weight of the world on his shoulders, that’s how it feels in the air between us.

When he speaks again, I’m not expecting it, despite the fact I’ve been waiting with bated breath. “I missed you,” he says.

Oh, God.

“I missed you so goddam much, you know that?” His eyes flick to the space on the bench beside me. Without thinking I shift my leg, moving it off so there’s space for him if he wants.

“I missed you,” I say, my voice cracking a little from the truth of it. The gut wrenching, undeniable truth in just those three words. “Joel, I…” As I’m shaking my head, lost for words that better convey what I’m trying to say, Joel gets up and comes to sit beside me. I turn to face him, finding the backs of my eyes stinging with tears.

(I swallow them down so hard that it hurts. I’ve cried enough. I’ve cried enough over him.)

“Hey…” he says, dipping his head to catch my eyes that have somehow fallen from his. He puts his finger under my chin, holding it up and propping his thumb on the point. He took his gloves off when he came inside, so his bare skin is against mine, his fingertips cold and calloused but fuck, so perfect. Catching my gaze again, he looks so deeply into my eyes that it’s like he’s searching my fucking soul. “Don’t look away,” he says.

I shake my head. My hands are trembling in my lap. Heat is blooming from my stomach to my chest, threatening to burst out of me at any moment because fucking fuck, I never thought Joel would touch me like this. Holding me tenderly, not because he’s patching a wound or inspecting one, not to get me to look in his eyes to stop me from passing out from pain; no, holding me because he wants to, because he wants to be close to me, wants to feel me like I want to feel him.

At least, I hope that’s what he wants.

The way his eyes flick down to my lips gives me a little more confidence.

“Joel…” I whisper into the inches of empty space between us. I can feel his hot breath brushing against my face. “Joel, you don’t have to…you don’t have to forgive me, you know that, right?”

Surprising me, he laughs. Shakes his head a little, smiling at me with crow’s feet around his eyes, the sunlight glinting into the flecks of grey in his beard. Could I reach out and do what I’ve always wanted to? Touch him there, run my hands through the coarse hairs, maybe even feel them on my face?

“I know I don’t have to,” he says, still chuckling. “But I do. Even though I wish you’d have made a different call, or at least told me you were leavin’…”

“Joel…”

“—I’d say we got pretty lucky, findin’ ourselves here again.”

He’s so close to me now that I have to look between each of his eyes in turn. I could do it forever. He’s so close. I’ve wanted this for so long.

I never thought I’d see him again.

Let alone have this.

“Yeah,” I manage to whisper. “Yeah, I’d say so.”

“Now, if you don’t mind,” he shifts his hand from under my chin to my cheek, pressing his palm against my jaw and smoothing his thumb over my skin, “I’d like to do what I’ve wanted to do for a damn long time.”

I nod before he even clarifies. I’d let him do anything. Fucking anything.

He sighs before closing the distance between us, like he’s relieved. Like he’s saying, Finally.

My agreement doesn’t make it out of my lips because he’s pressing his to mine, capturing my top one between both of his, and—

Holy shit.

It’s the softest kiss I’ve ever had.

So tender. Like he’s just testing the waters. Asking me a question. He barely even lingers for a few seconds.

But, Jesus Christ.

I find myself letting out an embarrassing whine when he pulls away and tries to meet my eyes, his eyebrows raising, checking it’s okay; but I can’t wait, I can’t fucking wait or hold back any longer—

I pull him in by the lapels of his coat and push my lips back into his, barely even having time to open my mouth. He groans against me and I feel the vibrations of his voice in my fucking mouth.

It’s crazed at first, finding a rhythm; messy and uncoordinated but all I can hear is his lips sucking at mine and him trying to find his breath amongst the mess of our mouths. It doesn’t take long for it to flow, to work, to understand the push and pull of each other and I lean into it with everything I have. He’s breathing into my mouth, his breath hot and sweet, and his lips have gone from cold to hot in the blink of an eye.

He’s got two hands on me now, grasping at the back of my neck with his fingers pushing up into my hair from the roots. My hat slips from my head. He uses the extra space in an instant, gasping happily against my mouth when he can get his fingers up the entirety of the back of my head, threading them into my hair. Goosebumps spread across my skin, and not from the cold.

At last, my hands are where they’ve always dreamed of being. On either side of his face, fingers running through his beard. I can hear it; the hairs brushing across my skin and under my nails. Lightly, I curl my fingers so my nails scratch his jaw. He likes it; moaning softly as he tilts his head to the other side, barely pulling off of me before our mouths are together again.

Alas, though, as much as my hands have found their home, there is so much more of him to discover. One of them slides back into his hair and I swear to God he fucking whispers my name against my tongue as I take a handful and tug.

Soon I’m shrugging him out of his jacket after pulling on the zip, and he’s doing the same, undoing each of the buttons on my coat while I suck kisses to his cheek, his beard, wherever I can get to him.

As soon as our coats are on the floor, he unwinds my scarf and throws it on the floor, and makes the most of having new access to my neck. Hungry, he dives in, his mouth already open as he mouths at the expanse of my neck in long—but not long enough—kisses.

“Joel, oh, my God,” I gasp when he sucks particularly hard on the spot where my neck meets my shoulder. My hands are in his hair again, anchoring him to me. A bolt of pleasure comes from my neck to my brain, goes straight between my legs.

It’s as he kisses me again and I start to fumble with the buttons on his flannel that he makes a different noise in the back of his throat. A soft protest, I think.

“Hey,” he pants, breaking off from my lips and taking a gentle hold of my wrists, stopping them in their work.

I’m completely out of breath. I’ve not been this out of breath from something good in fuck knows how long. My lips are swollen, I’m sure they’re bright red, and I can feel wet patches on my neck. “You okay?” I ask with my hands settling on his chest.

He laughs, breathy, “Never better. I just…want to make sure that we…” he has to swallow and catch his breath for a moment. As he does so, he lowers his head and kisses up my forearm, all the way to my elbow. His hands caress the underside of my arm like it’s something he treasures. “God, I want this to go further, but I said we’d be back in an hour and I know Ellie’ll come lookin’ if we’re not…”

Still panting, I laugh a little. All I can do is press my forehead against his.

He lifts up my hand and puts it over his heart. Even through the flannel of his shirt I can feel it pounding. A gasp pulls into my throat at the feeling.

“Besides, it’s cold as hell, and I’d really like you to be warm and comfortable before we…”

He’s right. Goddamit, he’s right.

Resigned, I nod. We sit like that for a minute, just coming down, catching our breath. His lips are pinker than I think I’ve ever seen them. I think I was sucking at them even more than I thought I was; the pink colour fades gradually into his skin like smudged lipstick. I wish now that I’d had chance to suck at his neck, to mark him like I’m sure he’s marked me already.

Then, it hits me.

That I never even thought I’d get to touch his fucking beard.

Let alone suck his neck.

“God,” I whisper, mostly to myself. My voice cracks a little, and I’m not sure it’s just from the blinding desire still throbbing between my legs.

“You okay?”

“I just…yeah. Yeah, I’m…I’m really fucking good.”

He laughs. Keeping one hand over mine where it stays on his chest, he brings the other up to cup the side of my face. Our foreheads are still resting on each other and his palm is so warm against my cheek.

I’ve wanted this for so long.

I have to tell him. He knows, but I have to tell him. “I’ve wanted this for…forever,” I confess, probably only finding my confidence because we’re too close for him to look at me. With my spare hand I hold the side of his neck, the tips of my fingers brushing into his beard.

“Since the moment I saw you,” Joel’s voice is gravelly as he nuzzles his nose into my wrist, “I wanted this.”

I can’t help it.

I lean in and kiss him again. Close-mouthed and quick, but just because I can.

He takes a deep breath. Holds it a minute, then lets it out, his sweet breath brushing against me once more. I want to taste it again. Feel it going into my lungs. Feel it on my neck, on every inch of me.

“We should head back,” he says, reluctance coming from his very core. “You’re gettin’ cold.” He squeezes my cold hand.

“You’re the one who took off all my winter gear,” I retort with a happy smirk.

“Yeah, alright. You started it, though.”

“Um, you pushed my hat off as soon as we got started…”

“The hat thing was a mistake.”

I remember how it felt to have his hands spread out over every inch of my head, and shudder. “Oh, no, it was no mistake, Joel.”

He laughs. “Come on. Let’s wrap back up. I’d love to say we can pick up where we left off as soon as we get back, but I’ve got patrols today, and Ellie wanted me to take her riding…”

I hold the back of his neck. As much as I absolutely would let him take me right here on this freezing wooden floor, I don’t mind waiting. For the first time in decades, I feel like we might just have time for it. Like everything doesn’t have to be a rush. “It’s alright,” I say, meaning it.

“I promise, I’ll make it up to you.”

“Mm. I’ll hold you to that.”

“Good.”

After another—very restrained—kiss, we start wrapping up again and pack up to head back. In the back of my mind as we potter around each other, I feel the horrible tendrils of doubt try to creep in around me. Wondering: what if this is all too good to be true? What if there’s no way we can make this work? I was never even going to stay here, but does he want me to now? Is that where this is going?

But then Joel takes me in his arms before we step back outside, and holds me like it’s the first time.

And it is, really. He’s only ever done this before when I’ve been hurt or sick.

And for that moment as his hands press into my back, my mind is quiet.

{chapter 4/5}

For the ask game, 🔪, ❄️ and 🦴 :3

ask game

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

ohh ok this is hard. A dream theme would probably be a good mystery I can't start piecing together or a horror novel that scares me. For mystery I oddly enough think Brandon Sanderson would be good. I've been unable to predict things moving forward in the Stormlight Archives. But honestly I think it would be written best by someone who hasn't even tried before. There's a way of placing clues in a mystery I feel a lot of people follow. Most of the time those clues placed by someone new wouldn't have the same easy to tell hints and tips.

For horror I kind of am expecting Lydia Prime to do it. She's a newer author on the horror scene (actually have a book she just managed to publish I plan to pick up). I also some comedians would be good at it. Comedy is kind of the other side, takes a lot to do it. I don't know who would be best for this outside of like a pro author. I'm pretty hard to scare, make a habit of marathoning horror games and horror movies just because. That does mean I get psyched to read any horror sent my way that might be good!

For a dream plot it's kinda hard to say. I know how my brain works, but honestly even if i'm not super into it I just like seeing people posting/sharing the stuff they put their time into. It's so scary to take that first step so it's really amazing when someone does and they keep going.

🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing?

Ok so this one is kind of a lot. For some of my stories it's probably some myth, post, or my own daydream mixed from anime/games/books throughout the years.

Specific media would be MTG Streets of New Capenna set (Mafia AU), Fenyx Rising (Delphia rising), FF14 (some fanfics and an au i am working on), Oddly enough a story I have on and off struggled with was inspired by a yugioh series, Godzilla vs Kong (the fight for Rhys and Felix in mafia au). My gods might have been inspired by the old hercules disney movie.

Oh Delphia is a bit inspired by an Kagome in Inuyasha (got me looking into reincarnation). oh and a book series I read forever and ever ago. The Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller. (I went to my bookshelf to find this title.)

I also do love mythology and folklore so I'm sure that's a big inspiration even if it's not obvious. (obsessed with fairies since I was like born. My sister can't even remember a time i wasn't).

Basically it's everything? I have a few characters I've realized over time fit a meme a little or i put together match someone i loved from a game.

Oh last one I can think of. Alice in Wonderland. I loved that from the disney movie, to the books, to the manga based in it, to the new tim burton movies. Pretty much the only time I haven't liked it was in RWBY 😅

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project? I feel weird leaving this one out in the open, but like also it's not exactly nsfw. just a little insight into my weird thought process at times

ok so originally it was gonna be the general size of a dick/vagina of the average person to then do the ratio for how big it should be for a giant/how small for a tiny. In searching for this math (cause ofc i only shared it on discord) I realized i had an entire discussion that involved at least a little research where i determined it's incredibly viable that if giants and tinies are under the same homo species it would possible to successfully get pregnant in a multisize couple with the question being the survival rate of the child/birth parent dependent on a number of factors....

I used the dick knowledge in one (1) specific story i wrote on ao3. The pregnancy knowledge was lost until now.

Most likely to get me arrested was how much a person could move after a stab wound

for those curious this was the percentages i came up with are under the cut

balls: 2.7% of total height per ball dick: 6.9% of total height pussy opening: 4.8% of total height pussy depth: 6.3% of total height

#awkwardanswers #lore about mee!#my brain is all over the place sometimes lol

Prankster Review

We've reached the end! I have been slowly reviewing all of the Fazbear Frights stories I don’t already have a separate review for, and we've finally made it to Prankster! Overall, as the final book in the Fazbear Frights series, Prankster is a disappointment.

While this does mark the end of my catch-up reviews, I finished Felix the Shark while posting these, so expect a review really soon! For my previous Friendly Face review, go here! If you want to read these in order, go here!

For the rest of the review, keep reading!

Prankster - It was mediocre. I thought the Help Wanted parallels were cool, although I think In the Flesh surprisingly handled the FNaF VR development aspect better, and when the story gets to Jeremiah’s birthday it’s sorta fun, but besides that the rest of the story is unremarkable. Glitchtrap is very obviously involved but the story makes no effort to show that off other than two scenes, one of which is joked to be a sex scene. Tape Girl makes it clear Jeremy wasn’t the same upon seeing him, why do Hope and Parker act normal? As for the ending, I think it’s very obvious that Parker is the one in the closet, but I still wanna know who the Gamemaster is. Also, what happened to Hope? It just feels unfinished and leaves you wanting more.

Kids at Play - This was bad. This story is literally the embodiment of the joke that Fazbear Entertainment is just smacked on random shit to make the story FNaF related, and while I mainly don’t rate these stories too much on their relation to FNaF, in this case it actively hurts the story. By making it clear the Kids at Play figures are made by FE, more questions are raised than answered. As for the characters, the entire D’Agostino family is flawed and it’s impossible for me to like any of them, we are given no reason to care about Caleb Bell other than the fact that he’s a kid who was hurt, Chief Montgomery is alright, and surprisingly I liked Joel’s band members the most out of this story, which isn’t really a good thing.

Find Player Two! - This story has a very simple concept: Best friend goes missing, and years later the protagonist sets out to avenge them. And yet, Aimee is a vile, horrible human being. She doesn't care for Mary Jo. Even when Mary Jo opened up to Aimee and made it clear how much she trusted her, Aimee still actively pushes her aside and treats her poorly. And when she goes missing years later, Aimee and her friend Greta dare to claim Mary Jo was the bad friend. And I've been in Mary Jo's shoes too. I knew my "friends" didn't actually care or respect me, but I was in a situation where they were the only friends left and I was too scared to end the friendship and be left alone. And what does the story do? Try to make Aimee out as a hero, making her death and what would be a punishment feel less like a punishment and more like a stupid twist. As for the rest plot, Emmett Tucker having a near identical description to Dave Miller felt like a punch in the face and the twist ending felt rather predictable once Emmett proved innocent.

LGBTQ Book & Film Recommendations

Hello! As someone who tries to read widely, it can sometimes be frustrating to find good (well-written, well-made) LGBTQ+ works of literature and film, and mainstream recommendations only go so far. This is my shortlist.

Some caveats: 1) I have only watched/seen some of these, though they have all been well-received.

2) The literature list is primarily focused on adult literary and genre fiction, since that is what I mostly read, and I feel like it’s easier to find queer YA fiction. Cece over at ProblemsOfABookNerd (YT) covers a lot of newer releases and has a YA focus, so you can check her out for more recommendations.

3) There are a ton of good films and good books that either reference or discuss queer theory, LGBTQ history and literary theory. These tend to be more esoteric and academic, and I’m not too familiar with queer theory, so they’ve largely been left off the list. I do agree that they’re important, and reading into LGBTQ-coding is a major practice, but they’re less accessible and I don’t want to make the list too intimidating.

4) I linked to Goodreads and Letterboxd because that’s what I use and I happen to really enjoy the reviews.

Any works that are bolded are popular, or they’re acclaimed and I think they deserve some attention. I’ve done my best to flag potential objections and triggers, but you should definitely do a search of the reviews. DoesTheDogDie is also a good resource. Not all of these will be suitable for younger teenagers; please use your common sense and judgement.

Please feel free to chime in in the replies (not the reblogs) with your recommendations, and I’ll eventually do a reblog with the additions!

BOOKS

> YOUNG ADULT

Don’t @ me asking why your favourite YA novel isn’t on this list. These just happen to be the picks I felt might also appeal to older teens/twentysomethings.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo - poetry.

Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender - trans male teen protagonist.

Red, White & Royal Blue

Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda

The Gentleman’s Guide To Vice And Virtue

The Raven Boys (and Raven Cycle)

> LITERATURE: GENERAL

This list does skew M/M; more NB, trans and WLW recommendations are welcomed!

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. One of the most acclaimed contemporary LGBTQ novels and you’ve probably heard of it. Will probably make you cry.

A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood. Portrait of a middle-aged gay man.

Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh. M/M affair, British student high society; definitely nostalgic for the aristocracy so be aware of the context.

Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman. It’s somewhat controversial, it’s gay, everyone knows the film at least.

Cronus’ Children / Le Jardin d'Acclimation by Yves Navarre. Winner of the Goncourt prize.

Dancer From The Dance by Andrew Holleran. A young man in the 1970s NYC gay scene. Warning for drugs and sexual references.

Dorian, An Imitation by Will Self. Adaptation of Orscar Wilde’s novel. Warning for sexual content.

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg. Two wlw in the 1980s. Also made into a film; see below.

Gemini by Michel Tournier. The link will tell you more; seems like a very complex read. TW for troubling twin dynamics.

Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin. Another iconic M/M work.

Lost Boi by Sassafras Lowrey. A queer punk reimagining of Peter Pan. Probably one of the more accessible works on this list!

Lie With Me by Philippe Besson. Two teenage boys in 1980s France.

Maurice by E. M. Forster. Landmark work written in 1914. Also made into a film; see below.

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. An expansive (and long) novel about the story of Cal, a hermaphrodite, by the author of The Virgin Suicides.

Orlando by Virginia Woolf. Plays with gender, time and space. Virginia Woolf’s ode to her lover Vita Sackville-West. What more do you want? (also a great film; see below).

Oscar Wilde’s works - The Picture of Dorian Gray would be the place to start. Another member of the classical literary canon.

Saga, vol.1 by Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples. Graphic novel; warning for sexual content.

Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinburg. An acclaimed work looking at working-class lesbian life and gender identity in pre-Stonewall America.

The Holy Innocents by Gilbert Adair. The basis for Bertolucci’s The Dreamers (2003). I am hesitant to recommend this because I have not read this, though I have watched the film; the M/M dynamic and LGBTQ themes do not seem to be the primary focus. Warning for sexual content and incestuous dynamics between the twins.

The Animals At Lockwood Manor by Jane Healey. Plays with gothic elements, set during WW2, F/F elements.

The Hours by Michael Cunningham. References Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway. Probably a good idea to read Virginia Woolf first.

The Immoralist by André Gide. Translated from French.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline MIller. Drawing from the Iliad, focusing on Achilles and Patroclus. Contemporary fantasy that would be a good pick for younger readers.

The Swimming Pool Library by Alan Hollinghurst. Gay life pre-AIDS crisis. Apparently contains a fair amount of sexual content.

What Belongs To You by Garth Greenwell. A gay man’s coming of age in the American South.

> LITERATURE: WORLD LITERATURE

American and Western experiences are more prominent in LGBTQ works, just due to the way history and the community have developed, and the difficulties of translation. These are English and translated works that specifically foreground the experiences of non-White people living in (often) non-Western societies. I’m not white or American myself and recommendations in this area are especially welcomed.

All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson. The memoirs and essays of a queer black activist, exploring themes of black LGBTQ experiences and masculinity.

A People’s History of Heaven by Mathangi Subramanian. Female communities and queer female characters in a Bangalore slum. A very new release but already very well received.

Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima. Coming-of-age in post-WW1 Japan. This one’s interesting, because it’s definitely at least somewhat autobiographical. Mishima can be a tough writer, and you should definitely look into his personality and his life when reading his work.

Disoriental by Négar Djavadi. A family saga told against the backdrop of Iranian history by a queer Iranian woman. Would recommend going into this knowing at least some of the political and historical context.

How We Fight For Our Lives by Saeed Jones. A coming-of-age story and memoir from a gay, black man in the American South.

In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado. Another acclaimed contemporary work about the dynamics of abuse in LGBTQ relationships. Memoir.

Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo. Contemporary black British experience, told from the perspectives of 12 diverse narrators.

> POETRY

Crush by Richard Siken. Tumblr loves Richard Siken, worth a read.

Diving Into The Wreck by Adrienne Rich.

He’s So Masc by Chris Tse.

If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho, trans. Anne Carson. The best presentation of Sappho we’re likely to get.

Lord Byron’s works - Selected Poems may be a good starting point. One of the Romantics and part of the classical literary canon.

Les Fleurs du Mal by Charles Baudelaire. The explicitly lesbian poems are apparently in the les fleurs du mal section.

> MEMOIR & NONFICTION

And The Band Played On: Politics, People and the AIDS Epidemic by Randy Shilts. An expansive, comprehensive history and exposure of the failures of media and the Reagan administration, written by an investigative journalist. Will probably make you rightfully angry.

How to Survive A Plague: The Inside Story of How Citizens and Science Tamed AIDS by David France. A reminder of the power of community and everyday activism, written by a gay reporter living in NYC during the epidemic.

Indecent Advances: The Hidden History of Murder and Masculinity Before Stonewall by James Polchin. True crime fans, this one’s for you. Sociocultural history constructed from readings of the news and media.

Queer: A Graphic History by Meg-John Barker. It’s illustrated, it’s written by an academic, it’s an easier introduction to queer theory. I still need to pick up a copy, but it seems like a great jumping-off point with an overview of the academic context.

Real Queer America by Samantha Allen. The stories of LGBTQ people and LGBTQ narratives in the conservative parts of America. A very well received contemporary read.

The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson. Gender, pregnancy and queer partnership. I’m not familiar with this but it is quite popular.

When Brooklyn Was Queer by Hugh Ryan. LGBTQ history of Brooklyn from the nineteenth century to pre-Stonewall.

FILMS

With films it’s difficult because characters are often queercoded and we’re only now seeing films with better rep. This is a shortlist of better-rated films with fairly explicit LGBTQ coding, LGBTQ characters, or made by LGBTQ persons. Bolded films are ones that I think are likely to be more accessible or with wider appeal.

A Single Man (2009) - Colin Firth plays a middle-aged widower.

Blue Is The Warmest Colour (2013) - A controversial one. Sexual content.

Booksmart (2019) - A pretty well made film about female friendship and being an LGBTQ teen.

Boy Erased (2018) - Warning for conversion therapy.

BPM (Beats Per Minute) (2017) - Young AIDS activists in France.

Brokeback Mountain (2005) - Cowboy gays. This film is pretty famous, do you need more summary? Might make a good triple bill with Idaho and God’s Own Country.

Cabaret (1972) - Liza Minelli. Obvious plug to also look into Vincent Minelli.

Calamity Jane (1953) - There’s a lot that could be said about queer coding in Hollywood golden era studio films, but this is apparently a fun wlw-cowboy westerns-vibes watch. Read the reviews on this one!

Call Me By Your Name (2017) - Please don't debate this film in the notes.

Caravaggio (1986) - Sean Bean and Tilda Swinton are in it. Rather explicit.

Carol (2015) - Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara are lesbians in 1950s America.

Clouds of Sils Maria (2014) - Hard to summarise, but one review calls it “lesbian birdman” and it has both Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart in it, so consider watching it.

Colette (2018) - About the bi/queer female writer Colette during the belle epoque era. This had Keira Knightley so by all rights Tumblr should love it.

Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) - Lesbian love in 1920s/80s? America.

God’s Own Country (2017) - Gay and British.

Happy Together (1997) - By Wong Kar Wai. No further explanation needed.

Heartbeats (2010) - Bi comedy.

Heartstone (2016) - It’s a story about rural Icelandic teenagers.

Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party (2015) - Queer teens and religious themes.

Je, Tu, Il, Elle (1974) - Early Chantal Akerman. Warning for sexual scenes.

Kill Your Darlings (2013) - Ginsberg, Kerouac and the Beat poets.

Love, Simon (2018)

Lovesong (2016) - Lesbian and very soft. Korean-American characters.

Love Songs (2007) - French trio relationship. Louis Garrel continues to give off non-straight vibes.

Mädchen In Uniform (1931) - One of the earliest narrative films to explicitly portray homosexuality. A piece of LGBTQ cinematic history.

Maurice (1987) - Adaptation of the novel.

Midnight Cowboy (1969) - Heavy gay coding.

Milk (2008) - Biopic of Harvey Milk, openly gay politician. By the same director who made My Own Private Idaho.

Moonlight (2016) - It won the awards for a reason.

My Own Private Idaho (1991) - Another iconic LGBTQ film. River Phoenix.

Mysterious Skin (2004) - Go into this film aware, please. Young actors, themes of prostitution, child ab*se, r***, and a lot of trauma.

Orlando (1992) - An excellent adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s novel, and in my opinion far more accessible. Watch it for the queer sensibilities and fantastic period pieces.

Pariah (2011) - Excellent coming-of-age film about a black lesbian girl in Brooklyn.

Paris is Burning (1990) - LANDMARK DOCUMENTARY piece of LGBTQ history, documenting the African-American and Latine drag and ballroom roots of the NYC queer community.

Persona (1966) - It’s an Ingmar Bergman film so I would recommend knowing what you’re about to get into, but also I can’t describe it because it’s an Ingmar Bergman film.

Picnic At Hanging Rock (1975) - Cult classic queercoded boarding school girls.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) - By Celine Sciamma, who’s rapidly establishing herself in the mainstream as a LGBTQ film director. This is a wlw relationship and the queer themes are reflected in the cinematic techniques used. A crowd pleaser.

Pride (2014) - Pride parades with a British sensibility.

Rebel Without A Cause (1955) - Crowd-pleaser with bi coding and James Dean. The OG version of “you’re tearing me apart!”.

Rocketman (2019) - It’s Elton John.

Rent (2005) - Adaptation of the stage musical. Not the best film from a technical standpoint. I recommend the professionally recorded 2008 closing night performance instead.

Rope (1948) - Hitchcock film.

Sorry Angel (2018) - Loving portraits of gay French men.

Talk To Her (2002) - By Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar.

Tangerine (2015) - About trans sex workers. The actors apparently had a lot of input in the film, which was somehow shot on an iPhone by the same guy who went on to do The Florida Project.

The Duke of Burgundy (2014) - Lesbians in an S&M relationship that’s going stale, sexual content obviously.

The Gay Deceivers (1969) - The reviews are better than me explaining.

The Handmaiden (2016) - Park Chan-wook makes a film about Korean lesbians and is criminally snubbed at the Oscars. Warning for sexual themes and kink.

The Favourite (2018) - Period movie, and lesbian.

Thelma And Louise (1991) - An iconic part of LGBTQ cinematic history. That is all.

The Celluloid Closet (1995) - A look into LGBTQ cinematic history, and the historical contexts we operated in when we’ve snuck our narratives into film.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) - Adaptation of the YA novel.

The Neon Demon (2016) - Apparently based on Elizabeth Bathory, the blood-drinking countess. Very polarising film and rated R.

The Perks of Being A Wallflower (2012) - Book adaptation. It has Ezra Miller in it I guess.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) - No explanation needed, queer and transgressive vibes all the way.

They (2017) - Gender identity, teenagers.

Those People (2015) - They’re gay and they’re artists in New York.

Tomboy (2011) - One of the few films I’ve seen dealing with gender identity in children (10 y/o). Celine Sciamma developing her directorial voice.

Tropical Malady (2004) - By Thai auteur Apichatpong Weerasethakul. His is a very particular style so don’t sweat it if you don’t enjoy it.

Vita and Virginia (2018) - Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West biopic

Water Lilies (2007) - Celine Sciamma again! Teenage lesbian coming-of-age.

When Marnie Was There (2014) - A Studio Ghibli film exploring youth, gender and sexuality.

Weekend (2011) - An indie film about young gay love.

Wilde (1997) - It’s a film about Oscar Wilde.

XXY (2007) - About an intersex teenager. Reviews on this are mixed.

Y Tu Mama Tambien (2001) - Wonder what Diego Luna was doing before Rogue One? This is one of the things. Warning for sexual content.

@hollywoodland-hqs

How long have you been roleplaying?

I had a brief Sherlock RP blog way back in late 2010/early 2011 with my friend RPing as John, but that was short-lived. I didn’t properly start until December 2013. So... been a while now.

What are your hobbies outside of writing?

I’ve really gotten back into watch movies recently, especially foreign language films. Other than that, I play video games, and mess about on my piano and ukulele and do a bit of singing alongside.

Do you have any pets? Tell us about them!

I do! We’ve always had cats, and we currently have two. There’s Darwin, who was named after the scientist for being seemingly intelligent at a week old, but his intelligence hasn’t improved much since - he can just about catch a leaf in the garden and that’s it. Then there’s Oliver, who despite being four years old, still looks like a big kitten and acts like it, too. He’s very sweet, loves attention, and is basically the cat version of my niece, who is only two weeks older than him. We also legally still own a cat called Lily (Darwin’s mum) but she abandoned us after we got Oliver because she hates boy cats (despite having two litters in very quick succession hmmm). I also have two tortoises called Tiberius and Tarquin, and they are hysterical, and even fussier eaters than me, which is saying a lot.

If you had a month of free time to learn to do something new, what would you choose?

There’s a few songs I want to learn on piano, so I’d probably focus a lot of time on that. Maybe learn how to edit videos better, too.

Do you listen to music while you write? What are three songs on your playlist?

Sometimes. Most days, I have youtube videos on in the background, but occasionally I’ll have a music day. I have a playlist (called the Trash List) of Jaoirse songs for whenever I’m doing posts relating to them especially, but sometimes other stuff too. Songs include: Take My Hand by Skerryvore (their wedding song), Tell Me sung by Saoirse, and Galway Girl by Ed Sheeran, because of course. Are we surprised by any of these??

What’s a favorite recent youtube video/channel?

Oh christ, I spend so much time watching youtube videos. But some of my fave creators at the moment are: Markiplier (including Unus Annus with Ethan), PewDiePie, Drew Gooden, Kurtis Conner, Cody Ko, and Noel Miller. (Hit me up if you like any of these dudes so we can chat about em all day k thx.)

Tell us one random fact about you!

I studied history at university (although I had to dropout due to ill health), and I have a bunch of weird history books that I will happily talk to you about if you want me to. Just brace yourself.

Who is an FC you’ve always wanted to use but haven’t yet?

Oof don’t open that can of worms! I’d quite like to play a YouTuber at some point, since I love watching their videos so much. Mark or Felix especially, love those dorks.

What’s a plot you’ve always wanted to write but haven’t yet?

Uhhh Jack and Gigi makeout? @itsgenevievegnt

Do you have a favorite plot you’ve seen someone else in the group do

Everything Harry and Fionn. @hcurly @tommyboyfionn

Who on the dash makes you smile?

Everybodyyyyyy. I love seeing people I’ve known for half a decade, and people I haven’t had the chance to get to know yet, and everybody in between. Except @emwatsonx obviously.

What is your favorite memory in the group?

Jaoirse wedding was a masterpiece, if I do say so myself. And it was so much fun seeing all the threads going on on the dash and people having a good time ic and ooc. That was pretty special. @irishxseahorse

What’s your favorite thing about your celeb(s)?

Jack: he’s so unashamedly himself - one minute he’s all cool and suave, and the next he’s making himself laugh and being ridiculous. He and I also have the exact same sense of humour.

Zac: I love how untouched by fame he seems to be. He’s still best friends with people he’s known since he was young, and doesn’t really care much about being in the spotlight unless it’s on his own terms, and he just seems so down to earth and curious about everybody around him, whilst also being amazed that people are interested in him and his life. All that despite being in the public eye for half his life.

Timmy: he’s so weird and wonderful - doesn’t care about societal norms, does his own thing, embraces that he isn’t perfect, and loves messing with people for a laugh.

George: he is the sweetest guy ever. Every time I read a new article or story about him, it’s somebody saying how kind he is to literally everybody. He knows everybody he works with’s name and takes the time to get to know them between takes.

What’s a plot you miss?

Just from this group? First thing that comes to mind is always Tomily, because we all know I’m Tomily trash forever. But honestly just any plot involving Tom I miss, because I played him for such a long time.

What would you love to see this group do in the future?

OOC barbecue yeah?? At mine. Nah, honestly, just more of the same - group trips, events, but not being bombarded with that kind of thing all the time. I like that it’s not overwhelming.

I was walking home today splashing through the puddles left over from the 20 odd centimeters of snow Mother Nature left us on Monday, thinking about D. Way back when, we have a young man, who may or may not understand Hollywood’s seedy underbelly, find himself getting a dream job. D joins Glee and is given a chance to become a permanent fixture. He renews his contract and the rest is history.

What comes next is a theory but I must state I believe D is gay. However, I thought I would bring this up.

What if D did not have understood his sexuality when he signed the deal. (Some people are later bloomers. I was not.) Maybe he thought he was straight or considered himself to be bisexual or even gay? Let’s say, the for purpose of this theory, he thought himself as bisexual and felt it best to play the straight man. Then he really gets to know C in ways he had never dreamed possible and – poof – he realizes, “Yes, I’m gay!” -- The scene in the Lima Bean after kissing Rachel may have been real to D – Anyhow, he finds himself trapped in PR nightmare when he has fallen hopelessly in love to his lucky co-star.

Now, D is forced into a masquerade and has to have a girlfriend because of a contract. The problem is now, the PR teams wants to save face by pushing the straight line in interviews and photos. Ladi ladi da.

What I am getting at is, people who yell a lot about something usually have something to hide.

Just think about it. There are many straight actors who have played gay rolls and have not suffered for it. Here are just a few.

Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain)

Tom Hanks (Philadelphia)

Daniel Radcliffe (Kill Your Darlings)

Hugh Grant (Our Sons)

Eric McCormach (Will and Grace)

Gale Harold and Hal Sparks (Queer as Folks and the sex was pornography next to Blaine and Kurt)

Michael Ontkean (Making Love)

Mario Lopez (Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story)

Clive Owen (Bent)

Christian Campbell (Trick)

Christopher Meloni (Oz)

Matt Damon and Michael Douglas (Behind the Candelabra)

Paul Rudd (Object of My Affection)

The point is, you do not see these gentlemen going out of their way to prove the straightness. Why should they? They are comfortable being straight and being actors. They were paid to play a role and they played it.

Okay, for the detractors, yes, D is an actor and he was paid to play a role. The difference is, D’s team is yelling with megaphones from the bloody roof tops. How many times does the ‘straight’ word have to come up in one interview to make it believable? This smells like desperation and not much more.

D’s PR team reminds me of political handlers who are trying to spin a tale to defend their boss who just got caught with his pants down with some young man. All of sudden they pull the wife and kids out the front door to face the cameras to prove the man is straight even thought pictures are smeared over the internet. There are countless denials which only make it sound worse. Then, one day, after the wife has left and the kids are still trying to figure everything out, the politician admits to the dalliance.

Now, I might very well be wrong, but in my opinion, there is only one reason ‘straight’ comes up so often. D is not straight. They are far too obvious and that makes the whole charade unfathomable. If they wanted to make us believe D is straight, ramming it down our throats is not the way to do it.

It is not easy to come out of the closet, but many actors have.

Brandon Flynn

“We’ve been scared shitless our whole lives, thanks to all the stigmas that surround us,” the 24-year-old wrote in the post. “Equality takes courage, it worries me that too many people in this world lack the balls to stand up for what is right.” Since then, he's been romantically linked to singer-songwriter Sam Smith.

Teddy Quinlivan

The model capped off a busy New York Fashion Week in September by coming out as transgender in a candid CNN interview. Quinlivan, 23, began her transition at 16, but decided to open up about her gender identity publicly because of “the political climate in the world right now ― particularly in the United States.” “If being transgender is something that gets attached to my name throughout my career, then it’s for a worthy cause. But I look forward to the day when it doesn’t matter,” she said. “The transgender community needs more visibility. And with more visibility will come more acceptance.”

Haaz Sleiman

In August, Sleiman opened up about his sexuality in an emotional video as part of a personal effort to combat violence against the LGBTQ community. The "Nurse Jackie" and "Killing Jesus" actor, 41, announced that he was “a gay, Muslim, Arab-American man” in the video, but didn't stop there.

Thomas Dekker

The "Heroes" actor publicly opened up about his sexuality on Twitter in July, but suggested he was inspired to do so after a “prominent gay man” outed him. The 32-year-old described himself as a “man who proudly loves other men” in a short essay he included with his tweet. He also revealed that he’d married his husband in April.

Jordan Gavaris

The “Orphan Black” star came out as gay in a June interview with New York Magazine's Vulture blog. The 27-year-old star, who plays the “exuberantly gay” Felix Dawkins, seemed a bit surprised to be questioned about his sexual orientation. “Nobody ever asks me,” he said. “I’ve never been asked.”

Dan Amboyer

The "Younger" actor married his boyfriend, Eric Berger, in October, and came out as gay in the process. Amboyer, 32, had been in a relationship with Berger for 10 years, but had not spoken publicly about his sexuality before. He told People that he'd been “strongly advised” to “stay quiet” about his personal life as he established himself as an actor.

Matt Bomer

"American Horror Story" actor and marble-carved-cheekbones owner Bomer acknowledged his partner, publicist Simon Halls, and their three kids in an emotional humanitarian award speech in 2012.

Colton Haynes

Beloved for both his physique and silly social media persona, the "Arrow" star hinted slyly he was not straight before formally coming out in 2016

Wentworth Miller

This actor and screenwriter was the portrait of brute masculinity in the 2005 Fox series "Prison Break," which made his heartfelt coming out in 2013 -- and subsequent admission to body image and depression struggles -- resonate all the more with fans.

The closet door is open. People are stepping out and thriving. In this day and age there is no need to stay in the dark.

MGS Fic Rec List

Name: Yeoyou // Team: Philanthropy // Challenge: C1 (or maybe rather C3? I’m not sure...)

A couple things before I begin listing some of my favourite MGS fanfics:

I’m not really reading a lot of fanfic, generally, so once I’ve found a few authors whose work I love, I stick with them which is the reason why there’s a lot of stories here by not really as many people. Which is why I’ll just go and do this by author...

Most of these recced stories are Otasune-centered because that’s my jam ;D

This is fucking long so have a cut

1. @higharollakockamamie

Sadly moved on to other fandoms now but their stories are a gift to this fandom and you should read all of them if you love good writing, good characterisations, fun and feels and excellent smut as well because Higharollakockamamie deals out all of that effortlessly!

Plasticity

This is a slow burn character study gangbang AU fanfic in which Hal is slowly being seduced by Kaz, Ocelot and Big Boss at Shadow Moses - although he’s rather oblivious to the fact at first. This was one of the very first fics I’ve read in the fandom and I clicked on it mostly because of curiosity because how can such a pairing work (let me tell you, it does!)? But then I fell in love with the writing, HIgharollakockamamie’s language, style, the slow unfolding of the story and how well the characters work in this setting and how recognisable they are. EVEN IN THE PORN! Which, yes, eventually does happen and it’s glorious. If my utter devotion to this story wasn’t evident yet, I’ve done a (poor) podfic reading of the first chapter here and had entirely too many feelings about my continuation headcanons here ;D [Chapters: 9 // Words: 29,634]

The Show?

VKaz, so not something I usually read a lot of, but this is so fucking good that it has to make this list! It’s just the boys listening to some music and chilling and talking and I don’t even know what‘ll happen to you if you actually hardcore ship them because I don’t and this left me stunned with how good it is!!! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 2,073]

2. Mightyscrub

Now, Ren, aka the mightiest of scrubs, is one of my other absolute favourite fanfic authors and persons in general because of their unabashed love for the weird and the bizarre (if you know one fic by Ren it’s probably the tentacle porn one) and the cheesy but also because their stories always resonate as real and grounded. They’re equally good at action, the fun and hilarious, the deeply moving and emotional and you can get all of it in a single scene! Evident through it all: the utter love for the characters! (Sidenote: Ren writes so good I even read their DreamDaddy fics and I know nothing about any of that but they’re glorious and kinda Jupiter family if you squint really really hard)

Fics I particularly enjoy (and sometimes that’s “enjoy” as in “ripped my heart out” but you know...):

Don’t Say A Word

Teenager Sunny worrying about her Dad who seems to turn into a shadow because of his grief over Snake’s death so she returns home. What follows will warm your heart, rip it out and stomp on it, drown it in feels and just generally puts you through a rollercoaster of emotion. And it’s good. So fucking good! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 4,331]

Developments

This one’s porn and it’s the best. Hal and Dave have been having sex for a while now but it doesn’t have a name, this thing they do, and they don’t talk about it or go any further than hands and mouths and Hal kinda wants to be up to lube activities so he gets some. bottom!Snake. Just glorious, hilarious, deeply human porn with dialogues to die for! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,515]

Rest

Post MGS4 Otasune feels fest where Snake sort of “proposes” to Hal. This is pure sad fluff because Snake is still dying and everything but they’re so in love and with Sunny they‘re a sort of happy family and this will give you massive feels but you should definitely read this!! (and prepare a bucket for your tears) [Chapters: 1 // Words: 1,961]

Building Blocks

Very like “Rest” in the feels department, with old Snake and all, but with less dying Snake and a happy ending instead. Like “Rest” there’s so much that’s kind of mundane but also really meaningful and metaphorical if you want to go that deep and just feels so fucking real. [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,351]

Recovery

Otacon gets kidnapped, there’s so much angst and feels and Jupiter family glory and God, Ren just writes these characters so good it’s a crime! If you like to suffer via great writing, definitely read this story!! [Chapters: 3 // Words: 10,250]

Teeth

I know, I know, Ren is mostly known for her monster AUs or the occasional dinosaur or alien but I only wanted to include finished stories here so while you should go and read all those others and encourage them to finish them hopefully one day, Teeth is the one that makes this list. Also because it’s one of my absolute favourite werewolf AUs ever read with an amazing new take on the trope and wonderful nods to canon and again, characters and character interaction are where Ren really shines. [Chapters: 4 // Words: 16,994]

Secret Handshakes Required

Philanthropy era, pre-slash but barely and quickly slipping into proper slash and holy wow on a waffle this story is everything you could ever want from an Otasune story. It’s even got a mission going on in the background, awkward, endearing first time sex and more feels than my heart at least can handle!! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 4,947]

3. @kawaiibooker

Let’s have a break with some VKaz for a change with Kawaiibooker’s incredible V series and V One-shot series which I recently read (and commented) for the MGS Winter Games and boy do I not regret having done that because it’s such a wonderful series for a pairing that I only lowkey ship because I’m more at home in the Philanthropy era of MGS. That didn’t help much with not drowning in feels though because Jess is such a good writer with a masterful grip on her characters! Since I can’t list all of them (all of which, however, you should read), I’ll list those that stick out the most to me.

The Footprints That We Leave (Crush Us Till We're Free)

This is the ending to the main series (with a Dave cameo!!!) and fucks you right in the feels because Miller thinks Dave killed Venom and is barely coping with that so lots of angst and hurt but also a happy ending!!!! [Chapters: 3 // Words: 14,184]

I Need Somebody (To Lean On)

Okay, I said I’d only list completed fics but I cannot not include Pequod Darling Felix, the best Pequod and so supportive to the boys and I just have way too many feelings about this darling man and the way Jess writes him and so even if there’s no other chapters coming, you should absolutely read the first one!! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,538]

In My Mind (I Call You Home)

Jess doesn’t just write excellent character pieces but also wonderful porn so have one with some lovely phone sex XD [Chapters: 1 // Words: 2,011]

Listen Closely (I'm Lost Without You)

It seems I like the hostage stories because of glorious angst so have one where Kaz and the Diamond Dogs are held hostage and they‘re all waiting for the demon to safe them. Kaz seeing Venom in action is something quite different to knowing what his lover does while away on a mission. SO GOOD. SO MUCH HURT! [Chapters: 2 // Words: 4,247]

Our Love (Is Written In Sand)

Back to the porn, this time with glorious beach sex that’s just the perfect ratio of smut/fluff because these boys love each other so much! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,181]

Bury My Heart (Next To Yours)

The ending to the one shot series and picking up right where “The Footprints...” leaves off with Kaz and V reunited in old age and living the quiet life they deserve. Also features sunflowers and a very good cat! [Chapters: 3 // Words: 4,835]

4. @fractalspaces/LotusRox

Lynx’ stories are full of poetry and emotion and I always approach them with caution because I know how effectively they play with my feelings. They never fail to affect me and that’s a dangerous gift for a fic writer because Lynx isn’t here for your casual fic reading.

Lah’Shoov

Hal running through the (former) Microwave Corridor to get to Snake with all the painful angst and fear and guilt you’d expect but of course we also know that he’ll find Snake alive so with a hopeful ending. [Chapters 1 // Words: 1,997]

Chemistry of Combustion

A trip down memory lane of how Hal always loved people who smoked, two who didn’t deserve it and the one who does. [Chapters: 1 // Words: 1,367]

Adrift, Unsung

This is just SO GOOD and SO PAINFUL! Okay, admittedly the end is not but everything up to then is glorious pain. Post-Discovery and two men trying to rebuild the trust between them (and they seriously just need all the hugs!!) [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,608]

5. @141-point-12/thelonebamf

Cat, the true hero of the MGS Winter Games, the champion fangirl and inspiration to us all, the Queen of Otasune, cheerleader and enthusiast extraordinaire. I have nothing but the maddest respect for her because of her generosity and commitment, her openness, her creativity and her fearlessness in just doing what she wants to do (which is, weirdly, a lot harder than it should be). Whether it’s pins, drawings, zines, her amazing podcast together with Zeke or her latest idea that has brought everyone together, the Winter Games, she just does it. But this is a fic rec post (or something) and she also writes amazing fanfic with a knack for atmosphere and characters so have some of my favourites of her.

No One Has to Know

I don’t even know why I love this AU so much. Maybe it’s because Dave accidentally picking up runaway Hal because he thinks he’s a prostitute turns the usual concept of Hal not being able to imagine David could ever want him on the head. Maybe it’s because it’s so fluffy and cute but with an ending that hurts before it heals. I don’t know. Maybe you can tell me once you’re read it? [Chapters: 7 // Words: 13,999]

Pictures of You

I still owe Cat a proper comment for this one but I loved it when I first read it in the zine (with awesome illustrations by Harshai) because it has all my favourite Cat fic ingredients of tender and insightful character moments for my favourite ship and favourite egg family. [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,023]

Rat in a Foxhole

This is just SO GOOD!! AU where Hal is a recruit at Foxhound, which will break your heart in a very toasty way. It’s such a good exploration of a different dynamic between these two characters because they’re at different points in their life but so true to the original characters! [Chapters: 6 // Words: 13,779]

Call on Line Two

If you’re looking for some short fun, fluff AU, this one’s for you. Sort of the opposite of “No One Has to Know”; it’s Hal who thinks Dave wants sex when he calls instead of tech support because he messed up the numbers. David doesn’t mind. Tech support still happens eventually. [Chapters: 1 // Words: 3,610]

Occasions for Hope

A wonderful character study of Hal and his relationship with his father of Hal and the parallels between himself and his father and also, significantly, where those parallels fail. [Chapters: 1 // Words: 2,704]

Let it Be

More wonderful little glimpses of Hal and Dave and their relationship during the Philanthropy years. Little mundane and significant moments that are absolutely perfect! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 1,498]

And of His Nature

Short but wonderful piece of writing full of poetry and character analysis that is one of my absolute favourite Otasune fanfics! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 1,015]

Fifty Dogs

This list wouldn’t be complete without the, to me at least, legendary “worth 50 dogs” story!! ALL THE FEELS! [Chapters: 1 // Words: 2,265]

Ladies, Gentlemen and other Folk, thank you for your attention, now go read some A++ fanfiction! Yeo out!

#very fitting that this should be my last submission for the winter games #mgswintergames #mgs winter games #metalfloat #I'm sorry Cat
