Hello! :)
I found you're works a while back and finally worked up the courage to ask you something.
I love all the scenarios that you create but the Fragile Reader X Dottore works are some of my favourites, and one of them that stuck out to me was the one with that Tsaritsa that acts like a mother to the reader. I like to think that once a month or every so often she shows up to a harbinger meeting to check on their progress with the gnosis/gnoses.
How do you think the other harbingers would react if after a meeting she asked Dottore how Reader is, if they are getting better/worse etc. And if Reader is better how they would react if she asked if they could show up to the next meeting or when would be a good time to see Reader.
Don't feel obliged to reply at once if you have other requests, this just popped into my head and I figured it would be good to ask.
-❄️
Ps. If someone has already used ❄️ I'm sorry. Have a good day :)
Hi ❄️ anon! I'm really glad you like my fics, thank you for the ask ❤️ And YES... i love mother Tsaritsa to fragile reader SO MUCH. Every time she sees Dottore she never fails to ask about you, even if she saw you recently, you're her child fr 🥺 I too think she does that, also to see how her Harbingers are faring and all. She cares about the mission but also them.
Not the Tsaritsa exposing Dottore in front of them 😭😭 She probably does it at the very end of the meeting, when everyone is walking out the doors when all of a sudden she questions him about you. And Dottore just freezes because he did not expect that, and now quite a few of the other Harbingers have stopped in their tracks as to the mention of someone called "[Name]." Particularly Pantalone and Columbina... two people who like to make his life miserable.
Dottore is very careful about others knowing about your existence, he knows that a clone is always with you so you can never get hurt but he is still very guarded when it comes to you. He simply can't risk anything happening to you, with your fragile state. Nor does he want to deal with anyone else pestering you or him. Only Pierro and the Tsaritsa know that you exist for real. Though, he knows you can't stay cooped up in your room all the time, so regular soldiers still see you, but they are sworn to absolute secrecy unless they want to... die a painful death.
But now... it seems that the cover has been blown, but he still tries to save it. He doesn't mean any disrespect to the Archon, though he answers her questions very quickly and dryly. You're doing fine, he says, and that you're always waiting for her. And it's then the Tsaritsa realizes that the other Harbingers are unaware of you... from how Columbina and Pantalone are looming behind him with the most horrible smirks ever and how Dottore is like 😐 The other Harbingers know not to push into the Doctor's affairs of all people, yet they can't help but be a little curious, you must be fairly important if even the Tsaritsa is worried about your wellbeing... They won't directly ask or get near him but they won't complain if they overhear some... things. (Arlecchino and Signora are Columbina's gossip victims and Childe catches wind of it too from Pulcinella 💀)
The Cyro Archon quickly finishes the conversation but the damage has been done lmao, you know the Regrator and Damselette are suddenly finding excuses to visit Dottore's lab to try and find you. Dottore and his clones swat them away everytime, though eventually, everyone finds out about your existence 😭 Dottore is exasperated, but you're just happy to have new friends! Mainly Bina and Pantalone, being best friends with them as fragile reader has been rotting my brain lately 🥰 I like to think they come visit you every now and then too and the clones are hella hostile to them but let them through solely because you're happy talking to them.

David’s Fic-Rec Friday:  2020/03/27
Hey guys.  Sorry about last week.  With this quarantine in place, I’m having to share the internet with my mother, who has to do all her assistance principal-ing from home now.  But we’ve managed to figure out a setup that will let her have the signal strength she needs and will still let me have access.
Of course,that didn’t stop my brother and sister-in-law on insisting we come over for dinner, thus resulting in this getting put out so late tonight, but what can you do?
Anyway, let’s get to this new batch of stories.
Blank - Royality Oneshot by And_There_They_Go_Again (aka @logan-sanders-enthusiast )
To start things off, we’ve got a Royality soulmate AU that starts out angsty but ends on a much brighter note.  Everyone knows that at the stroke of midnight on your sixteenth birthday, the first words that your soulmate will say to you appear on your wrist.  Roman and Remus are so psyched to receive their words, but only Remus’ appear.  Roman’s wrist is left blank.  Years later, all the pent up anger and frustration about the pity everyone shows him for not having a soulmate bursts out of him at his college roommate Logan, after which Roman storms out of their dorm in a rage.
But everything changes when he accidentally bumps into another student, causing them to spill their books and papers on the ground.  Roman quickly apologizes and starts to gather up their things.  But when he returns everything to them, they reply with sign language.  Roman starts signing back, but then catches sight of the other boy (Patton)’s wrist, where the apology he just blurted out is written.
This story does mention some darker concepts, including self harm, rampant swearing, and both Remus and Deceit, though the latter is only mentioned and the former is sympathetic.  But other than that, it’s all good and absolutely worth your time.
Anything Goes by LetHimBeCaesar (No Tumblr Account)
And now for some pre-relationship Logince.  Logan has been taken into the imagination by Roman so as to acquire some dandelion greens for a project.  In response, Roman has conjured up an entire field of dandelions, whose seeds are swirling and alighting all around them.  One in particular, still intact, lands in Roman’s hair where Logan pulls it out.  And at Roman’s prompting he makes a wish.  It all might seem so superfluous and pointless, but it is the imagination.  And in the imagination, anything goes, including the idea of him and Roman together, which the prince might be wishing for just as much as himself.  Soft and simple, and oh so magical.
Two Cute Dorks in Love by PanicAtTheEverywhere (aka @muffin-arts )
Now here we’ve got some soft Moxiety for the soul, though there’s also some background LAMP.  Patton can’t seem to find his cat hoodie, and after asking Logan and Roman with little success, he heads off to ask Virgil.  But what he finds is Virgil wearing said hoodie and looking more content than Patton’s ever seen him.  Happy to oblige with some swapping, Patton pulls on Virgil’s own hoodie, and the share a tender kiss as they express just how much they love each other.  Wonderfully sweet, and with the image of some soft boys in comfy sweaters to sweeten the pot, you can’t go wrong with this one.
Professional Spirit Chasers by chemically_imbalanced_romance (aka @soft-stormcloud)
Now this one, I should warn you, does deal with some darker material, and could be problematic for some people, so do be careful and heed the warnings.
Logan and Virgil are an engaged couple who work as Professional Spirit Chasers (title drop).  With their new camera man Roman, they’re trying to remove the spirit of a young man named Patton from a recently purchased house who died several years before at his own hands.  Virgil, who is a medium, manages to talk him into coming to live with them so he’s not alone anymore.  And Patton, under their adoptive care, begins to finally start healing from the pain his life, and death, have caused him.
Obviously this story features a dead major character, references to suicide and depression, some description of injuries, and supernatural elements.  But if you can get through all that, then this story is definitely worth a look-see.
The Castle by shnuffeluv (aka @sanderssidesfanfiction)
A short drabble featuring the creativitwins.  Remus has just finished building a cardboard castle for Roman, and Roman is delighted at what his regressed brother has made for him, and invites him to join him inside for some classic Disney movies.  This story does mention blood, and features both Sympathetic Remus and Age Regression.  But is otherwise wonderfully wholesome, as all best brotherly stories are.
Fluffuary 3 - Logince by vicdehart (aka @vicdehart )
Now for some cliche romance, courtesy of our resident Nerd and Prince coupling in another human AU.  Roman’s bummed out about the rain preventing them from having their preplanned date outside.  But Logan’s not about to let a little weather get his love down, and channels a little cliche romance for some dancing in the rain with his prince.  Fluffy and hearfelt in every way you can think of, this thing will rot your teeth out if you don’t die of a sugar high first.
Platonic Ideal by pickledragon (aka @learningthomas)
And here we have a platonic Moxiety human AU for all your familial love needs.  Patton comes home from work to his shared place with Virgil.  After stewing in his thoughts for a bit, he brings up the subject of adoption with Virgil, who wholeheartedly agrees, reminding him that he is ready and happy to co-parent with him.  The author expressly describes their relationship as platonic, but there’s room to interpret it romantically or queerplatonically.  Either way, it’s wonderful and heartwarming in all the right ways.
A Lovely Night by The_Fangirl_Sunstorm (aka @the-fangirl-sunstorm )
I am such a sucker for Prinxiety mutual pining get together stories.  It’s a wonder they don’t show up more often on these lists.  Anyway, Virgil is, rather reluctantly, taking part in this week’s bonding activity with the other light sides.  Namely, karaoke in Roman’s room.  Virgil gets forced into a duet with Roman, and picks “A Lovely Night” from La La Land, as a clever way to express some of his own unspoken feelings for his duet partner.  Afterward, overcome with these emotions, he excuses himself to recover from the overwhelming thoughts of his unrequited feelings, only for Roman to come check on him and reveal those feelings aren’t quite so unrequited.  Such a perfect use of a lovely concept.
Tangled In You by MagpieMorality (aka @magpiemorality )
For our last entry, we’re looking at a Logince college AU that hits rather close to home for me (wow, awful lot of Logince stories in this one, eh?)  Roman comes back to the dorm shortly after Logan does, and Logan offers to comb through Roman’s long tangled locks to work out the kinks and straighten it out.  Which leaves Roman a very soft gay mess in his lap.  Simple but oh so wonderfully sweet, this one’s exactly what I wish my partner would do for me.  You know, if/when I have long hair again, and if I ever find a partner.
*****
And this week’s Featured Fic Writer is:
Panic_at_the_everywhere (aka @panicattheeverywheremcr)
This German writer has a most excellent talent for writing, and her story Broken, while still in progress, is a wonderful tale deserving of some love and attention.  She’s definitely worthy of your time.
*****
Well that’s it for this week.  Be sure to give each of these stories and authors some love and affection with some kudos, some comments, and maybe even some bookmarks.  And if you’d like to see previous weeks’ recommendations, or learn more about the Fic-Rec Friday Project, you can find all that stuff here on my Fic-Rec Friday Masterpost.
Also, I’m still accepting suggestions for Featured Fic Writers and other stories to recommend.  There are no requirements for writers, though it would be preferred that they be lesser known authors.
Finally, if you’d like to be added to my Fic-Rec Friday Tag List, or if you’re on the list and would like to be removed, just let me know and I’ll take care of it.
Stay safe everybody, and happy reading!

jonty for the ask thing?
Anon, I love Jonty. Probably more than you can tell just by looking through this blog, or scanning my fic, or even by looking at my dash, if you could do that. They’re my personal favorite pairing archetype: the best friends. It’s weird for me to feel this strongly about a pairing of side characters, but not weird at all for me to feel this strongly about this type of relationship; I am always a sucker for best friends who know each other and are comfortable with each other and love each other, who then realize they love each other.
Jonty has the added bonus of some potential angst thrown in, given their S3 story line. So really they have a lot of possibility. And I adore both characters as individuals.
Also I think the relationship, broadly defined, was one of the best realized on the show. Like the writers actually focused on it; it wasn’t incidental. Imo only the Blake siblings and Bellarke are in the same league, in terms of development.
I feel like a lot of fandom, at least from my perspective, likes the Jonty relationship but in a platonic way, which is kind of awkward for me, because I definitely ship them romantically. And it’s fine, you know, like what you like, but it gets confusing because I’m never sure if the next sentence after “I love Jonty” is going to be “they’re platonic soulmates, he should have been the best man at the m/arper wedding!” (which....ugh... brutal honesty time: this is the WORST take) or “They should have gotten together on the show!” But it’s usually the second. So, as I said, awkward lol.
Brutal honesty time
