we'll be gone just like the gentle breeze of yesterday by quinn_of_aebradore (3351, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes
Essek Thelyss is many things: a master of dunamancy, a scholar of the arcane renowned across Exandria, and rather skilled when it comes to the theft of magical artifacts. The third, unfortunately, puts him in the path of Caleb Widogast, another talented thief. When social circumstance pushes them to complete their latest heist together, Essek finds his carefully maintained house of cards beginning to crumple and his orbit drawn ever closer to Caleb's.

Before anyone says anything, I love The Exorcist so much but it doesn't count because it was never formally banned. Also if my behated old catholic school cited it positively, as well as a lot of the clergy, then that's a wretched enough reason for me to revoke its rights to be blasphemous.
(If you want a 1973 horror that got banned, watch lemora or the original wicker man. Watch my movies, boy)

Hidden Gem Friday
Hi guys!!! Okay so today is the first Hidden Gem Friday!!! I'm super pumped to be able to do this, I think it's gonna be so much fun. I have like 30 prompts already, so I'm going to try and do a little bit of a variety in these? Anyways!! I'm super psyched about this and I hope you guys leave comments for these writers when you read their stuff!!! Also let the writer know how you found them bc I always wonder when I get a random uptick in hits/comments/kudos! Anyways here's the actual rec list
Shoot by alligator_writes recced by me written by @riality-check! 1.2k words (Complete)- Jancy
Summary:
Jonathan shoots to capture. Nancy shoots to kill.  OR A character study of the two of them and their relationship.
My Thoughts:
WOW Honestly that's my thought with everything Ria writes, but this one is so overlooked!!! It's so short but every word packs an incredibly punch and it's the epitome of quality over quantity. The characterization is perfect, the parallels are so well written. Ah I just love this one
always surprised by what i do for love by birthdaycandles recced by @andrea-csenge 6.3k words (Complete)- Gen
Summary:
“He’s dressed like Steve.” Dustin says plainly, monotone in that way he gets when he’s genuinely upset and not just worked up for show. “Why?” Mike is asking because he still hasn’t processed the ugly fact of the matter, reasonably so considering how bizarre it is to witness someone be so braindead in public, but Lucas would like an answer that addresses the other type of why. Like, why is Conner Marrigan such a fucking asshole? “Clearly, uh, Marrigan wanted to have a costume no one else would think of.” Eddie chimes in. For once he sounds almost nervous, though Lucas has no idea why. “I figured I’d let you know, considering your allegiance to Harrington and also the general fact that it’s a pretty fucked up thing to do.”
My thoughts:
I love this one so much!!!! It's really well written first of all, and secondly the characterization of Lucas here is so unique!! This is my kind of Lucas, and the thought behind the premise is really interesting. Plus the Jason here is accurate to real Jason and I like that a lot (So many people just make irredeemable monster Jason when like before he went cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs he was just your regular small town jock asshole)
It has been a beautiful fight. (it still is.) by througheden aka the amazing @thefreakandthehair !!!!! Recced by Lex technically, but also by me bc wowwww 3.3k words (Complete) - Steddie
Summary:
Steve wasn’t sure how the fuck he ended up at The Hideout on a Tuesday night.  Okay, that wasn’t true— Eddie invited him, he was loath to admit that he was still harboring an unexpected and ill-fated crush, and he’d agreed to go before his brain could catch up with his mouth. That's how he ended up at The Hideout on a Tuesday night.
My thoughts
Augh I just love the way you write. Something about it is so flowy, like a river or a silk dress. Anyways this is such a sweet little one shot, I always get so eeeeeee over a first kiss, and this was perfect!!!! I have a v similar idea for a story ending that is taking place soon, so great minds lolol but yes amazing show stopping wonderful etc. etc.
Words caught in my throat (who talks first?) by fragilecapric0rn recced by @flashyysins 12.2k (Complete)- Steddie
Summary:
Steve and Eddie get snowed in together. Emotional constipation and all the things left unsaid are also in attendance.
My Thoughts:
Okay so I said to myself I would put at least one WIP on this, but then I just read this one and Was going to skim it, but I literally couldn't put it down. It's so fucking good and I got choked up more than once I loved all the characterizations they felt so in synch. There are some spicy bits in this so fair warning, but there's also dad hopper and Wayne and stobin soulmate moments and just AUGH this is amazing it really honestly Is everyone should go read this and the fact that it only has 886 hits is a fucking travesty. I could easily see this as one of the seminal steddie fics tbh.

Does anyone happen to have some good Fraser/RayV fic recs?

Hey!
I'm looking for more hinny fic recs. I feel like I've read all works from the better known writers in the fandom.
Any chance you might have recommendations for "hidden gem" authors?
I really love this ask, and I have to apologise for taking so bloody long to get to it.
I understand what you mean by ‘better known writers in the fandom’, but I guess even popularity of writers is a pretty subjective thing. Presumably, you mean the likes of Annerb, Northumbrian and Floreatcastellum, and I do love all their stories. I also love the stories from Hinny writers @fightfortherightsofhouseelves, @seriouslysam8, @breaniebree, @thedistantdusk, @secretkeeper13, @stuckwith-harry, @clarensjoy (I’m sure you’re well across most or all of these authors), and no doubt many more that I’ll think of two seconds after I post this. 
Aside from the authors I just mentioned, here are some of my favourite Hinny stories (I know you asked more specifically for authors, and for hidden gems, but I had too much fun going through my bookmarks). Hopefully there’ll be something in this list that you haven’t come across yet :) 
such a beautiful blank (but smooth it) by Pocketfullof, smutty_claus Ginny picks a rose, and her world spins out of control.
Altered by @better-than-firewhisky Two people head to their blind date, and fate intervenes.
The War Isn’t Over When the Soldiers Come Home by keepcalmsmile DeFonda Hepburn had met many parents in her many years as a nanny, but she'd never met parents quite like the Potters. Strangely enough, they have more in common than she thought.
all around you by @theroomofreq “Your sister is a professional football player?”  Ron stops and turns around to face Harry. “Yeah? I thought I told you?” “No. Ginny? Ginny plays professional football?”
and i'll owe it all to you, my little bird by ginnydear The AU where Harry's entire world turns upside down when Ginny shows back up in their lives after leaving and not talking to anyone for five years, but with plenty of good reasons.
cover my body with your autograph by @remedialpotions Maybe it’s because of the whiskey currently coursing through her, gradually lowering her inhibitions and her ability to second-guess herself. Maybe it’s because her entire life has been unceremoniously tossed into the air and she has no idea where the pieces will land, and she doesn’t want this new, intriguing little bit of it - him - to land too far away. She wants to keep him close, to stay connected. And she wants him to know that she’s more than just Ron’s little sister. *This one is my absolute, all-time favourite Hinny muggle AU. There is so much I love about this, and I’ve read it far too many times. It’s just absolutely glorious. 
Off-Kilter by @remedialpotions "For the first time in history, Ron and Hermione - Ron and Hermione - are the uncomplicated ones, and Ginny and I are a mess." 
About That Night by @brightlybound Before he disappeared entirely through the kitchen door, Ginny's eyes dipped (almost) of their own accord to check out his bum. Heat rose to her already burning face, and she blinked hard to dispel the image her mind had immediately conjured, of him naked and sated and wrapped in her mismatched bedsheets.
In every universe: All in one piece by @brightlybound "This was lightness. This was love. This was right." After spending a moment alone with Harry during her eldest brother's wedding, Ginny finds herself pregnant and must forgo her education for hiding. 
if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow by mp143 (this one is a WIP, but it’s regularly updated) For three years, she ignored the way she clung to updates about him from her brother, every little piece of his life he didn’t share with her in the course of a hookup. She disregarded the tightening in her chest and the fluttering in her stomach when they were together, noticing that he never stopped noticing her, anticipating her desires and giving them to her without her having to ask. And she refused to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t only about sex — not for her, and maybe not for him either. And that’s, of course, how she ended up here: huddled over a cauldron in the bathroom of her tiny flat, trying to work up the courage to prick her finger and pinch a drop of blood into the potion.
Are you going to kiss me or not by Sorcerer’s Muse This is an alternate universe story where Harry never attended Hogwarts. For various reasons he and Ginny are both living pretty much as muggles and meet for the first time roughly ten years after the defeat of Voldemort. 
Deja Brew by @pottermum A wizarding hero seeks sanctuary in the Muggle world, as he tries to figure out the rest of his life. He works in a café called Déja Brew. Then one day before Christmas, she walks in - Ginny Weasley. 
Would You Be My Little Quarantine? by @celtics534 Moving was always stressful, but to be placed in a nationwide lockdown only a few weeks after moving was just too much for Ginny to think about. At least she had a fit neighbor keep her company... from two meters away, of course.
These two are WIPs that I love, but they aren't regularly updated. But I'm sharing them in the hope that if they get enough love, perhaps it will help to motivate the writers.
When the Party’s Over by Mintsea (be sure to check the warnings for this one) After ten years, golden couple Head Auror Harry Potter and Holyhead Harpies Vice-Captain Ginny Weasley unexpectedly broke up, leaving the Weasley family and gossip columns reeling. But two years later, a chance encounter at a London wizarding bar the week before Ginny's wedding to Neville Longbottom throws the new lives they’ve built without each other into turmoil. 
Issues in the Auror Office by transfiguredtoad Ginny Weasley has moved house and started a new job in twenty four hours, and both have brought her close to Harry Potter. At home, he's Harry, her mate, but at work, he's her boss - and fraternising within teams is forbidden. But she's falling for him, and he's falling for her. What are two Aurors in love to do?
I'm not always the best at finding hidden gems, but if you know of any Hinny authors or stories that you think are underrated and more people need to know about, please share them with me, or add them to the list :)

where do u find all those obscure shows and movies
😐😐 don't laugh but 99% of the time i just scroll through the wikipedia list of LGBT shows sorted by years and watch the stuff on there if it sounds good (i pretty much exclusively watch scifi and period dramas (best when it's both but that's so rare💔💔) coz stuff set in modern times with nothing going on bores me to tears), that's how i found avenue 5, carnival row, the nevers, year of the rabbit, and probably a billion other things too (all cancelled!!! all with shitty bisexual main characters!!!!!! they literally want me to die so baddd the nevers and year of the rabbit are easily in my top 10 favourite showssss god) alternatively if i see something trending on tumblr i'll check it out but i usually do a ctrl + f on the lgbt list wiki anyway to see if there's gay people in it because like. if there aren't i just straight up donot care

Wanting to actually listen to every single song I'm adding to the miku masterlist but I'm starting to think it simply may not be feasible with my 3000+ watch later songs and the 1200+ already in the miku playlist

Hidden Gems: A Shadowgast Rec List
Tumblr media
This week, we have one of our recurring themes: fics with fewer than 150 kudos! Check under the cut for fourteen amazing fics that you might have missed the first time around:
Ocean Blues by Vailee (3836,General)
Warnings: None
On a remote island, Caleb meets a merman named Essek.
Reccer says: The description of merman Essek with his fins and tail is very adorable.
Tumblr media
Breaking Inertia by futureshieldmaiden (31096,Teen)
Warnings: None
A time loop fic where Bren has to work with the Shadowhand Essek Thelyss to straighten out time.
Reccer says: There's a lovely slow burn between the two, and I like the plot develops - with a couple of twists along the way.
Tumblr media
flurries by quinn_of_aebradore (1381,General)
Warnings: none
Caleb and Essek visit a night market
Reccer says: It's extremely sweet and soft, with a warm and cozy wintertime feel to it.
Tumblr media
the start: wings to chase the sky by mllekurtz (TheKnittingJedi) (2662,Teen)
Warnings: None, but note that the other part of the duology has its own tags! (calamity fic)
Part of a duology of an Age of Arcanum AU where Caleb and Essek are prestigious wizards of Avalir. A getting-together ficlet.
Reccer says: Mlle is so good at writing the shadowgast getting together, and it's fun to see the wizards in this lavish arcane world.
Tumblr media
in the blood by VexedVixen (11075,Mature)
Warnings: None
Vampire!Essek rescues an injured Caleb and brings him to his towers in Rosohna. Caleb is them offered a job by Essek - a job that includes donating some blood.
Reccer says: The worldbuilding is so cool! Always nice to see a good vampire AU.
Tumblr media
A Thousand Words, Unspoken by soot_and_salt (3150,General)
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (technically, but it's not a dark story)
Caleb runs a YouTube channel where he films himself restoring paintings. The latest one to come in is a portrait of a beautiful drow man.
Reccer says: If you're familiar with the story of Pygmalion and Galatea, it's a little like that.
Tumblr media
you're the only light i've ever known by glossolali (1463,Teen)
Warnings: None
After their bath, Essek combs and plays with Caleb's hair. Caleb enjoys himself.
Reccer says: It's very sweet and tender. And like the author says in the end note, it shows how Caleb has changed and healed over the course of campaign 2.
Tumblr media
Break Me, Mend Me by Kaiannae (21835,Mature)
Warnings: Depiction of depression and self-sabotage, CNC if you squint, borderline force feeding if you squint.
Caleb's self-loathing is rearing its ugly head and he is spiraling out of control, pushing his friends and chosen family away, isolating himself from those who care about him and attempting to sabotage everything good in his life. Eventually, Essek decides to do something about it. He knows that nothing mundane like talking would be of any help, so he offers Caleb what the human thinks he wants: punishment, atonement, debasement, a way to quiet the vicious voices in his head.
Reccer says: BDSM as therapy, sort of, getting into Caleb's head for the character study, aftercare for the masses, doms and subs alike.
Tumblr media
Silver Couches To Recline Upon And Ornaments Of Gold by soot_and_salt (3242,Teen)
Warnings: None
Essek, unable to leave the tower he resides in, finds a cat on his balcony. He soon discovers there is more to this cat than he could have ever imagined.

Tumblr media
Let the River Carry You by Operafloozy (2983,General)

Reccer says: it's a sweet, comfy fic that makes you smile! what more would you want.
Tumblr media
born from beauty by hanap (2375,Explicit)
Warnings: None
Caleb and Essek have a conversation about their respective experiences with gender and what it means to feel at home in one's body, after which Essek shows his love for Caleb's body by giving him a blowjob.
Reccer says: I resonate with both Caleb and Essek's experiences of gender in this fic, so it was a lovely experience getting to read how much the two of them love each other's bodies that are so similar to mine.
Tumblr media
if only I could see your face by lakrisrot (3399,Explicit)
Warnings: Can read having a sex-negative to sex-neutral POV character
Caleb spends some time with Essek after the Transmogrification fails. They end up more intimate that expected.
Reccer says: This fic offers a very intriguing look into Essek's mind as an asexual/demi person. I very much enjoyed that.
Tumblr media
And two recs for
the hole in the stone by MinnesotaBruja (13243,Teen)
Warnings: Animal/Pet Death
Shortly after the end of campaign 2, Essek takes a position as a lighthouse keeper on a remote island north of Eiselcross. The fic is comprised of his letters to Caleb.
Reccer 1 says: Essek cares for chickens while living on the island and I find it extremely sweet. Reccer 2 says: Beautiful, heartbreaking, so very well written you will most definitely cry and it's worth every tear!

Hidden Gems Week: Day 5 Roundup (A Breath, A Pause)
Hidden Gems is a scavenger hunt! While the theme & main “quest” will change each day, every recommendation must meet the following: be MORE than 30 days old from first posting PLUS meet one of the following conditions: fewer than 25 comments/reblogs OR fewer than 50 kudos/likes OR fewer than 1000 total hits. This is a wonderful opportunity to catch up on the HUGE number of stories and visual creations that have been posted both before and after the show came out!
Phew! The excavation of our bookmarks and our feelings continues. Today you are looking for works that made you laugh out loud, ugly cry, or twist around in your chair in rage OR that completely changed your headcanons. If you're on the hunt for visual works, you're looking for anything that had you giggling or felt like a sucker punch after you'd seen it.

1000 Follower Hidden Gems Fic Rec Idea
Okay so!! Sometime last night I hit a thousand and I MISSED IT (I saw when I had 1005 and now there's 1023 of you and I'm just going to ignore how faint that makes me feel and continue but) ANYWAYS
I thought it would be fine to put together a fic rec list! But I wanted to put together a list of fics that people haven't seen to death a thousand times, because I always find the same two or three fics on every rec list. I thought it would be great to do a little hidden gems thing, because we all have that one fic we think everyone should have read (or those ten fics everyone should read lol)
On Dec 30th I'm going to put the whole thing together, but I would love to have you guys help! Here's the basic parameters for offering a fic for this list
Less than 2k hits on AO3 or less than 200 notes on here (at the time you send it)
Any stranger things fic is fair game. Any ship, any characters
You must include a link to the fic in your ask/reply and if there are any specific TWs (I'm going to put together the actual list in a specific way but this is just for me to protect myself!)
You can 100% rec your own fics, and I encourage you to do so!! I might put one or two of my own hidden gems on there, and I might add my personal reactions too! So send me an ask or reply here with your hidden gems, and I can't wait to see what we all come up with. Also pls reblog this so people can see it!

Just got Crunchyroll (I decided to give them a chance after that HORRID magical girl "anime" they made) and I was wondering if you had any suggestions? (I'm watching "So I'm a spider, so what?" Currently)
I mean technically that magical girl spice wasn't a anime but rather a cartoon (was it high guardian spice? Dunno smhh) - but u h sadly I don't have much suggestions since I rarely watch anime LMAO (Like shid I just finished watching demon slayer yesterday finally smh might pick up the manga tho cause I'm a little bit more of a reader)
