I'm about halfway through Priest by Sierra Simone and the urge to write a long post about all the things that have annoyed me in this book and why it (overall) isn’t that good of a novel grows stronger.

The worst thing to ever happen is when you find a great fanfic on ao3, you experience the whole range of emotions, you get emotionally invested and then, when you finish reading and you want to appreciate the author by giving them kudos...
You have already left kudos here. : )

A very incomplete list of Hazbin Hotel Fanfiction Authors/Geniuses
Tumblr media
I cannot believe the awsome, talented, absolute magnificent people I've met through this fandom. Writing FF for Hazbin Hotel has become one of my greatest joys in life, and reading the stories and creations of my fellow friends and idols is something that can brighten my whole week - and we don't gatekeep. So, if you're in search for a good read, here are a few of the SUPER AWSOME people I stalk (and I want to stress - this list is never going to be complete, but I'll try to edit it as there are just SO MANY GODDANG MASTERS out there!) @bapple117 If you love #RadioStatic, you have to read 'Bluest Monday' (completed) and the follow-up 'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye' (WIP) She'll break your heart in the most beautiful way. If you don't fancy that but Alastor is your go-to, then you will want to dive in head-first into "If You Can't Say Somethin' Nice, Don't Say Nothin' At All" (complete). But as before, be ready for a rollercoaster of emotional moments and extremely spicy shenanigans.
@hazelfoureyes Goddess of the smut, Hottest writer in Hell - If you're horny, Hazel has got you covered. Especially her 'The safeword is Radioapple'-Mini-series will make you sweat like a Zumba-Instructor on crack. Be prepared to blush, tremble, die and immediately ressurrect, because yes. She is THAT good.
Clover/corruptedteacups on AO3 With whooping 75 chapters and 300k+ hits, her Fanfic 'The Red means I Love you' is one of the best, most detailed slow-burn-pining-angsty-smutty-will-they-wont-they Masterpieces I've read so far. Alastor is magnificent and I guarantee you'll fall in love with Clover, the bunny who captures the heart of you deerest red demon.
@melodyonthewireless Highly underappreciated (imho), her fic "A Match made in Hell" (WIP) follows her OC Sybil down to hell, into the Hazbin Hotel and consecutively the arms of Alastor - but don't you dare underestimate the pink, harmless looking doe. Sybil's witch powers and her sassy, witty personality is quite the match to the established readio overlord. It's such a read, and the wait between chapters the sweetest agony!
@macabr3-barbi3 She delivers every. single. TIME. Her Short stories and One-Shots are like Pringles - Once you pop, you can't stop. I'm deeply in love with 'Dream a little Dream' (WIP), 'Nothing I can't Handle' (WIP) makes me run for a cold shower and did I mention the countless one-shot-candies that make you mouth water and your toes curl?
@slutforalastor/InconspicuousBosch on AO3 Whether it's the One-Shots on tumblr (omg the PRIEST ALASTOR BIT *fans face*) or the incredible Choose-your-Path-Fic "Say it with a smile" (completed) - you will be both amazed at the artistry of the wording and storybuilding and blushing at the sheer craft of the smut and sexual tension.
@impale-me-radio-daddy Founder of the kink #antlerplay, his series of 'The Lookalike' is steamy, outrageous, utterly magnificent and filthy down to the bones. Be prepared for some serious questioning of your own preferences, because you WILL get some epiphanies. And that's a PROMISE.
@hurthermore Listen. LISTEN. Bimbo is the mini-series that had me on a friggin CHOKEHOLD. It takes a special talent to make one so invested in THE radio demon, gentleman a la carte Alastor believably pining after and pounding a lovable, dumb airhead sinner with a fable for skimpy dresses and leave you at the end wanting for seconds and thirds!
As I said, this is a highly incomplete list, and I'll absolutely edit this list as I go. But I needed to put this out in the world. To all of the above, and all of those which I didn't include YET but most certainly will -
I ADORE YOU, I PRAY AT YOUR FEET, YOU ARE AMAZING BEINGS AND I LOVE YOU.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

About Powder Blue
This is going to be long. There are going to be discussions of suicide and trauma. This is going to be a bit of a jumbled mess because I can't tell a linear story to save my life. Don't feel like you need to read this, now or ever.
If you're wondering what the issues with PB were, and looking for what's next, read the indented text and skip the rest if you want!
I've had a bit of a...tumultuous relationship with the OFMD fandom. I've made close friends and lost them, made even closer friends who've very patiently reminded me of my worth when I needed that. I'm at a point where I'm still struggling, but I'm getting better. I'm still working on not being afraid. It's a bit of an uphill battle, but I'm still pushing my little boulder. I'm not alone this time, which is nice.
I entered the fandom as a nobody. I had almost 50 fics on AO3 and two had mildly popped off while I wasn't looking, but I wasn't really known for anything. I was a fandom ghost, posting my little fanfics and sharing them with the world because I just enjoyed the characters so much. Like a lot of people, I dreamed of being known for something. I thought that'd be neat.
I'm still in a state of shock and confusion that I've written anything in the past 2 years that people remember and even love. It's weird to be in a place where I never imagined myself to be. I can't stress enough how much I did not write explicit fic before this fandom; in high school, I would've welcomed a porn ban. I was afraid of my own sexuality, convinced it was some sort of monster I had to control. Convinced I was dirty. To other people my age, I was a prude, naive and childish for not being comfortable with it. So I feel for people who lash out now, who insist that attraction is actually fetishization, that if we set enough rules, maybe if we resist temptation, we'll be saved. I see you, and I feel for you. I personally don't think that's a healthy way to live, but if you'd told me that 2 years ago, I would've cussed you out. It's really a realization you have to come to (or not) on your own terms.
Anyway.
I know it's tacky to talk about your own success but it doesn't feel real. I go back and forth, reading other people's work -- and my god, there's some unbelievable talent in this fandom -- and thinking "shit, why would anyone read anything I've written? My stories are kindergarten finger paintings next to museum masterpieces". I am learning, slowly -- very slowly -- that I can't bully myself into a shape I like better. I'll never abuse myself into the kind of writer I think I want to be.
The first chapter of Powder Blue was written on a random day of the week after work. I was in a server -- the first fandom server I'd properly joined and talked in, watching a convo about how funnyt it would be for Ed to be a middle aged sugar baby -- when I pulled out my laptop and wrote for an hour and then posted that chapter to the server. I hadn't written for five years before OFMD. I had never finished a multi chapter fic. I posted that chapter and went to make dinner, and assumed the Google Docs link would get lost in that channel after a few likes.
That's not what happened.
The next few months were...a lot. My 7 year old Twitter account blew up from about 200 followers to 1000 in a matter of months. I was misinterpreted half a dozen times. Suddenly, people knew who I was and had Opinions. Some of those Opinions were Not Nice. I was told to grow a thick skin and get over it. So I figured my extreme reactions -- physical shaking, intense fear, a spiking heart rate, like I was being chased -- were just me being weak. I thought if I just sucked it up and laughed it off, it'd stop affecting me.
Turns out RSD is real and not an excuse I was using to be a baby, and it literally didn't get better until I was medicated! Wild
(This -- "I'm just overreacting and everyone else is secretly handling it better" -- has been a pretty consistent pattern my entire life, so figuring out I'm actually AuDHD has been mindblowing. If you've been wondering why you're so weak your whole life, I've got some screening tests you might be interested in).
Anyway my point is, a few things happened over the course of 2023 that brought me to a level of emotional pain I've never experienced.
At the start of the year, I was taking a self imposed internet break, after being forced to apologize for a tweet thread about Izzy, where I'd made the mistake of suggesting that fans of his should consider thinking about why they enjoy his character, but to only do this if they wanted to and ignore me if they didn't. This was taken as me being a hypocrite, and accusing Izzy fans of being terrible people. I apologized, vowed to never mention him again, and left Twitter for a month. Around the same time, a few things in a very close friend group went very wrong. I assumed it was entirely my fault for misbehaving, picked myself up, and tried to punish myself into a shape that would be acceptable for other people.
It didn't work.
Since I was now marked as an anti-Izzy bully, I couldn't say anything -- either on Twitter or in private -- that wouldn't be interpreted as me trying to start fights, as me being passive aggressive, as me trying to send covert messages for others to decipher so they could come and grovel for my forgiveness. Some of this is my fault -- it took a long time to learn than my private locked Twitter account isn't a diary. it took even longer for me to learn that maybe the people I was hanging out with weren't my people.
During all of this, I was posting Powder Blue after months of tears, pain, heartbreak, frustration and stress. I still don't understand why people write books for work or FUN. It was the most horrific experience of my life. It was valuable and so rewarding but jesus christ did writing PB take a lot out of me.
So as I felt less connected to my friends, as I was trying to hide how I felt because I thought I didn't deserve to be upset about anything (everything is always my fault, you see, and if I just behaved better, these things wouldn't happen to me), someone came to me and said they'd noticed some issues with Powder Blue. I'll refer to this person as the reader.
I was more than happy to hear them out. And it's true that I made some mistakes. The environment that I published PB in was not the one that I wrote it in. I didn't read any other sugar daddy/sex work fics as I was working on PB. PB was never a reaction to those fics. But because of those stories, which had handled things is harmful ways, there was suddenly a responsibility I'd never expected to have. I've never done sex work, I've just spent a lot of time listening to sex workers and trying to understand the legislation and environment as much as I can as a lay person. And since I don't have a personal experience with sex work, I shared my finished but rough draft with the reader, who did.
The problem, ultimately, is not something I could ever have fixed to their satisfaction. The fic doesn't involve dubious consent on a level that I think warrants an archive warning tag -- I tried to make it explicitly clear that Ed never does anything he doesn't want to, and that he's never coerced. The issue is that the nature of Ed and Stede's relationship is inherently uneven -- Stede is rich, and although he gives Ed money that's his to keep, Ed still isn't as obscenely wealthy as Stede is. Ed is poor and has been for a while. He's good at whatever he chooses to do, but he's struggling. That's a very uncomfortable spot to put Ed in. I also put Ed through some things that I've personally been through, as a way to work through my feelings and to try and better understand myself. If I was acting like Ed in real life, the reader is right that it would be concerning. But, importantly, Ed's not real. Nothing in this story is happening to a real person. Nothing in this story is an endorsement of any of his behaviours or unhealthy coping mechanisms.
I still believe the reader had good intentions -- the amount of effort they put into coming to me would be utterly bizarre for someone who was just looking to be cruel for no reason. But that also doesn't change the fact that being told I was having a trauma response and needed to stop working on the fic immediately, pushed me into the most suicidal period I've ever experienced.
That's not their fault. I'm sure that wasn't their intention. I've chosen to not try and find out who they are, or try to contact them again to respect their privacy. Some of the things people said to me, publicly dismissing the reader's pain, were so harrowing to read that it made me feel worse for ever writing PB in the first place. They were right to stay anonymous.
I'm sure the reader never meant for me to have such a massive breakdown that I took down the entire fic and left Twitter (and a few friend groups). It's been difficult to understand that just because someone didn't mean to hurt me, doesn't change the fact that I was hurt.
One silver lining is that I did go and find a new therapist. She's great! And she also thinks that how the reader tried to bring things up to me was wrong. As the reader obviously saw, I have a lot of Trauma, so I'm still not entirely convinced that I didn't deserve what happened to me. I'm not angry at them. I appreciate their concern. I just can't do what they asked of me. In the end, Powder Blue was not a story that was right for them. And that's okay.
My point in detailing all of this, is that I stayed quiet for a long time because I didn't think I deserved to tell my part of the story. I was scared that when people said they respected my choice to take down the fic, that they agreed I'd some something impossibly harmful. People trusted my judgement but I didn't trust myself. But people didn't know that I didn't trust myself.
Additionally, reader can't speak on this without revealing themself in some way. I'm terrified that they might read this and say something anyway. My biggest fear is becoming the kind of writer who sees negative criticism and pushes on anyway, or even blocks people who disagree with me. I don't want to hurt anyone the way I've been hurt.
BUT I've been holding onto this for months. I cannot write a perfect fic that will never trigger anyone. I will never write a meaningful story that won't hurt someone, no matter my intentions. There IS a way to admit you fucked up, or a way to listen and disagree, without turning into a raging asshole. I'm struggling to find that line. I'm hoping I'm making the right choice here.
And honestly, I'm just soft. I am so fucking soft. I talk a big game but I am so soft that a single person poking at my trauma caused me to break down so severely that my partner was legitimately afraid for me. I am learning that this softness doesn't mean I should become a crueler person to cope. But it's hard. There are going to be people who see this post and think I'm being a whiny crybaby looking for attention and pity. And I just have to deal with that.
Anyway. All previous chapters of PB will be up soon. Read them or don't. I will do my best to add more detailed trigger warnings. And I would personally suggest that if you're worried about any of the content in the fic, to run these worries past a friend who's read the fic, because they'll know you better than I ever will. Please don't read Powder Blue if you think it'll harm you. I would rather have fewer readers than triggered ones.
If there's anything I've missed that you think I need to address, know that my inbox is open, that anon is on, and that I'm not in the business of retaliating against people who come to me with an issue, even if they're a dick to me while they're doing it. I'm not going to dismiss someone because they weren't nice to me while they were upset. I'm a bitch but I'm not that kind of bitch.
So. Thank you for waiting for this fic. Thank you for waiting for me. We've got something like 16 chapters to go, and I can't tell you when they'll be up, or if they'll be up soon. But thank you for loving this story. I can't tell you how much that means to me, especially now.
Love,
Scarr

my favourite fics and writers
hi, y'all!! so I've decided that this year, I want to be more appreciative of all the amazing content we have on this app, and thank the writers providing it. this was inspired by Lily (lastnightwaskindofablur) who shared how long it took her to write her series, and it made me realise how much time and love are poured into these fics.
so this list is basically everyone im following, and my favourite piece of writing from them! I don't think I've forgotten anyone, but if I have IM SO SORRY!! if I am following you- I'm obsessed with you.
anyway, so sorry for tagging 1000 people but I love and appreciate you all so much!!
(so much rambling below the cut)
@64yrsold; “aches” is amazing and “wintering” is heartbreaking in the best way. Also, all of their one-shots are just amazing, I could read them over and over again!!
@abiiors; is not only one of the nicest people on this app (and maybe the world) but also one of the most talented writers. so so many amazing fics that honestly, don't even get me started on bc I will talk for HOURS. but “haunt//bed” is one fic I can't stop coming back to. And “Three’s a Party” is… mind-numbingly good, it actually made me scream into a pillow when I read it for the first time. Vee also creates all the amazing 75 Tumblr activities so really she is to thank for SO MUCH content on here!! one of the kindest people I know, and I feel so lucky to call her my friend :)))
@yourtouchismidas; “ruins” was one of the first fics that had me checking AO3 every day for updates. truly heartbreaking and all-encompassing. and all the blurbs from it are also amazing. The dad! Matty content mixed with the angst is just so well done.
@shinycollarboneapologist; was the blog where I started rambling and sharing ideas, so she is to thank for all the friends I've made on here!!! The Taylor verse is PHENOMENAL and “illicit affairs” is a fav. but “clandestine” has invaded my brain so much I literally dream about it regularly... so I have to say that's my no.1
@imagine-that-100; I first discovered her series "Drunk” on ao3 and then promptly binged everything on her masterlist (multiple times...) “Chicken Shop Date” is just a masterpiece (she and her co-writer are AMAZING on this and I will ramble about her later), but my personal fav is “truth serum”. I have probably read that fic about 50 times over and I love it just as much every time!!!
@heyidkyay; I first read “Who Can Say No to Bridezilla?” and became obsessed on ao3. but then I found them on Tumblr and was completely sucked into "I guess I'll take this pain, instead of your name" which is quite possibly the best George series on here. so much character building and back story, and overall just a phenomenal fic.
@justlikemebutsixfootthree; has some of the best smut on this app,” The Birthday Party” is probably my most re-read because it is just an absolute masterpiece. but “insane” and “direction” are also both amazing.
@imightgetbetter; was one of the first blogs I discovered on here, and I fell in love with the whole “Love It If We Made It” series. such an amazing development of a relationship and their writing is AMAZING. but my absolute favourites have to be “Bets are off” and “I love dilfs.”
@butyou-callmewhenyourebored; has such good Ross content all around, truly providing for the Ross girlies!!! but the Leeds au blurb 1 is my fav from them!
@drivelikeiido; has some beautiful fluff, and I just love the way they write Matty. but (not so) important decisions just make my heart warm like nothing else!!!
@toomuchracket; my beloved mads!! the fun wine aunt of 1975 Tumblr. I mean I could talk for 17 pages about my love for all of her au's... birthday party is the perfect supportive husband, d-word is the best slutty old man content on this app lol and flatmate is the friends-to-lovers content we all yearn for. asking me to choose my favourite Mads fic is like choosing a favourite child, but right now it has to be totally wrecked. I think that has altered my brain chemistry in an indescribable way… (edit; since writing this she has put out possibly my no.1 fic of all time, “and this is how it starts” so I just had to mention how much I fucking adore it)
@lottiecrabie; I mean... what else is there to even say about Lottie other than she is one of the best writers I have ever read. truly the mother of 1975 Tumblr. “rockstar girlfriend” and “pray for my soul” both have such special places in my heart, but anatomy au locked a new section in my brain fr. that little loser lives in my head rent free!!!
@tillthelandslide; is so so kind and has some amazing series I would recommend to EVERYONE. “insufferable asshole” is one of my absolute favourites, I love a grovelling man what can I say!!! but “Same for You” has me flipping sides every chapter, I still can't choose if I'm team Ross or team Matty.
@lastnightwaskindofablur; what more can I sat about the whole ATPOAIM universe other than it is quite literally phenomenal. the amount of time and effort poured into the Brittany Jackson universe is so clear by how amazing each fic and blurb is. my absolute favourite thought is "Christmas isn't cancelled (just you.)" from the 12 days of Christmas. it is easily one of my favourite fics I've read!!! She is also the whole inspiration behind this list and made me realise how important thanking your favourite writers really is.
@cowboylor; ohmyLORD the smut on this blog is just... wowowoowowowow. actually made me nervous to attempt smut because of how good theirs is. "Cabin Fever" is probably my favourite, I love a good threesome fic.
@alovesreading; the other half of the JAW DROPPING series that is “Chicken Shop Date”. the hours that have been put into that fic are so clear in how well thought out it is. every word feels purposefully placed, and every chapter fucking HITS. A also writes amazing fics for Alex Turner and is slowly making me an Alex girlie just by how good her writing is...
@bookish-strawberry; such such good fics in the "You and Me Till the End Universe". Ambrose has just created such loveable characters and you can't help but adore his writing. “alleyway” pt 1 and 2 are my favourites, I do love some fwb content.
@hypersonic04; her teacher Ross universe is just great, every blurb and fic just radiates the love between the characters that she has created!! but my absolute favourite fic of hers has to be "Tis the damn season", it somehow made me love one of my favourite songs even more.
@cows-wearing-my-sweater; has some amazing one-shots, and his work on “Eternal Summer” is absolutely beautiful. she manages to make you feel the warmth of summer through a screen, and it's fucking beautiful. 
@poisonmedaddy13; Ross girlies do I have the blog for YOU. so much good Ross-tent, but my all-time favourite is the “Mirrorball” series. As someone who HEAVILY relates to that song, that fic is just... so so real and amazing. every chapter is just as good as the last, if not better!
@cryley; her “Petichor” series is just fluffy perfection, I have probably read it over 10 times and will 1000% be reading it at least 10 more...
@thefrontofmymind; has so many great matty fics/imagines, “Helping Hand” jumps out easily as my favourite though. Once again, friends with benefits is ALWAYS gonna slap. especially when they confess their feelings at the end!!!! ahhh so good. “Proof Positive” is such a good Ross fic, if you like pregnancy fics I would HIGHLY recommend it.
@uramilf; did the 12 days of Christmas last year, and every day was amazing!!! But £The Record Shop” is my favourite series from her, love and music combined are too perfect for me not to adore.
@3terna15unshin3; Marcey's fic "then because she goes" had me refreshing ao3 DAILY. este is such a well-rounded and beautiful character, her and Matty's love makes me so lovesick it's CRAZY. that whole series is my favourite, and my fav blurb from that universe is Toothbrush. Este and Matty are so beloved by me <333
@because-she-goes; has an amazing universe with Matty and an OC that I adore, Nora is such a lovely character and every fic about them makes me giddy. "black lace" and "Summer Girl" are my favourites of their fics though!
@theseventyfive; has such a way with words, every fic makes me giggle and kick my feet. but if you saw my tags on my reblog of "not so secret Santa" you know how deeply I adore that fic. the writing on it is beautiful and makes you feel warm somehow??? amazing.
@wrongendofurcigarette; George girlies it's your time to shine!!!! "sun-soaked" and "wet" swirl in my mind whenever I see a pic of George looking... particularly good. but recently she has created an actress reader au that I am BUZZING for. that little snippet was... wowowowowowowow
@automaticllamacycle; OLIVE!!!!! once again, such a nice and genuine human being and I am so so lucky to chat with her because she is the best hypeman EVER. and is amazing to bounce ideas off of. just such a kind person and I am blessed to scream to her over DM. her coffee shop AU might be my most-read fic ever. it was my daily routine at one point to wake up, go to AO3 and read that fic. when part 2 came out???? I DIEDDDDDDD. but also all of olives horny thoughts are... MUWAH chefs kiss.
@red---moon; "after party" is another fic I read regularly on ao3, sleepy matty after a party with flirting and then smut??? hellooooo yes please. also, “Souvenir” as a series is just amazing, so so so good.
@maxverstappensflatbrim; “show me yours” is such a beautiful universe, and has SO MANY CHAPTERS for you to become obsessed with. I just love every character in that universe, and Mac’s writing is amazing.
@justanamesstuff; “All I Need” is such an amazing series, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves Dad! Matty content!! But all her blubs are worth reading too!!
@procrastinatinglikeapro; is so so sweet and has some absolutely mind-blowing fics. I must have read her entire masterlist 10 times over at this point. Choosing a favourite is hard, but “Does it matter” as a series has me HOOKED. (but also I love “mango lipgloss” and “wear my name around your neck”… don't make me choose okay)
@mybrokenveins3000; college ross SUPREMACY!!! She is right when she says she is proud of “everyday rockstar” because it's easily my fav!!
@wrestletotheground; has some absolute BANGERS that everyone MUST read. Once again, the ross-tent on this blog is amazing. “Crime and Punishment” is my fav Matty fic from them, and she absolutely killed it with “Settle Down” for Ross!!
@steel-elle; beautiful writing with everything she does, but my favourite has to be “But I stay when it's hard, or it's wrong, or we're making mistakes” (is this also because I love the song New Year's Day?? perhaps…)
@kscheibles; “e la vita” is so stunning I don't even know how to verbalise it. That fic has a portion of my heart FOREVER. But college bf! Matty is truly the man we all deserve, and I am obsessed with him.
@think0fmehigh; molly!!! My love!!! What else is there to say about Molly other than she might be my fav filthy smut writer on this app, and thats a tough competition. Every time I get a snippet in DM’s from her, I feel like one of the luckiest human beings alive. Molly does not have a bad fic (despite her protests im sure) but my top two (because I CANT CHOOSE JUST ONE) have to be “Birthday Girl” and “You Get Me So High.” but honestly if you have the time, bless your life by reading every word she's ever written.
@controlmyfeet; DAD MATTY FIC. thats all I even need to say, it is SO SWEET and it makes me so happy!!!!
@bfiaflbox; sooooo much good content, but my favourites are “Wintering” and “Tonight I Wish I Was Your Girl” !!
@nowshesdoingitallthetime; kirke. This is me BEGGING for more bartender matty!!! “Cocktails, Cowboys and back alleys” is MWUAH MWUAH MWUAH. Bartender Matty is a need, I adored every second of that fic.
@wiintring; I NEED more from Christina!!! Her writing is all wonderful, and “Come here dressed in black now” does live in my mind!!! 
@grocerystorelist; “body of Christ” is made for the religious trauma girlies and the fleabag girls. PREIST MATTY DRIVES ME CRAZYYYYY. Leila is so talented, it's crazy.
@forcryingoutlloud; wowwowwowwow the smutty content on this blog… its sooooooo good. “Beg for it” and “greedy” did melt my brain in the absolute best way, like I was genuinely SWEATING at how hot it was. As is everything on her masterlist!!
@hrryshoney; gyno! Matty unlocked a whole new side to me that I had NO IDEA was there. Like… insane. And the newest photographer reader fic also drove me CRAZY because I do love a cocky fictional man and some semi-public sex…
@the1975attheirverybest; Halla’s blog is a great place for discussion, good writing and crazy intelligent analysis of the band. “Education” and “being funny in a foreign language” are just… art. Truly. The character of Amelia and the characterisation of Matty are some of my favourites on this app. Hot smut, good writing and a lovely human being- what else do you need hellooo?? (also the pegging blurb from ages ago… yeah I think about her A LOT.)
@sugar-coat-it; FILTY, AMAZING SMUT. literally, every piece on Belle’s masterlist is worth reading 100 times over. Her newest thigh-riding blurb has been rotting my brain, I can't stop going back to it and reading it. Also, the Kylo Ren fic… mask kink unlocked fr. and the matty helping you deepthroat fic is also incredible. (can I just name everything she's done orrr???)
@cinomn; Nina has some great content, and I would genuinely recommend anything!! My favourite has to be “Summer Nights”, but it's a TOUGH competition tbh!!
@noacfslut; THE WRITING SPEED ON THIS BLOG?? MIND BOGGILING. And not only is Elle speedy, but every fic all absolutely wonderful. “Jealousy jealousy” and “undo” are my favourites, but that might change when I get the chance to read her mechanic au, because from what I've heard, it's also extraordinary.

hi! i'm new to comics and i got in through reading your fics and wayne family adventures. i've since started reading more of the mainstream verse and i realized that most comic fans consider wfa to be totally fanon. you're one of the few i saw that disagrees. would you mind elaborating a lil on why? i'm too new to really form an opinion either way but i'd like to know your's!
(also yes i really did stalk your blog back years worth of posts i'm sorry! 😭😭)
Aw I love this! Welcome!
So I think it's really important to be clear on definitions here:
Canon means it's part of an official text. It's literally in a comic (or book or movie or other property) published or licensed by DC.
Fanon means it's made up by fans. That doesn't mean bad or good, it just means that it comes from fandom and is not part of the official text.
Wayne Family Adventures is an official licensed comic by DC, so by definition, it cannot be fanon. That doesn't mean everyone has to like it, but it's not a fan comic. It's an official DC product. It's not fanon.
Now, WFA isn't part of the main DCU canon. It takes place in a separate universe. The Jason in Batman #138 and the Jason in WFA are not the same and they are having very different experiences. (And I'm sure the Jason in WFA would be grateful if he knew.)
But that's no different than a comic that takes place in an alternate universe, like Dark Knights of Steel or DCeased, or a movie like Blue Beetle or a show like My Adventures with Superman. They all take place in their own universes, but all of those universes are canon. None of them are fanon.
What I think most people mean when they say WFA is fanon is that WFA draws on tropes and characterizations that are popular in fandom. Which...yes, absolutely. This is on purpose, and honestly, it pisses me off when people complain about it. (Not you, anon! Your question was lovely, you just triggered my unskippable cut scene of dialogue. Sorry lol.)
Wayne Family Adventures is probably the single best idea DC has had in the 20 years I've been reading comics. (The second best was the kids and YA graphic novel lines.)
I just checked, and WFA has 1.3 MILLION subscribers. That's more than every floppy comic starring Batman sells in a month, combined. It's more than literally any superhero comic has sold in decades - in this century! The combined strips have over A HUNDRED MILLION VIEWS. That is bonkerstown. That is a readership like DC hasn't seen since the 1970s. That is unparalleled success, and it's introducing characters like Kate Kane and Duke Thomas to a whole new audience.
Now, WFA was clearly designed to appeal to Batfans who were active on social media and fanfic sites like AO3 and Wattpad, and Webtoon readers. The readership of Webtoon is mostly young and female. Fandom as a whole is mostly female. The writer of WFA is female.
And maybe I'm not being fair here, but when I see people dismiss WFA as "just fanon," I always catch a whiff of "It's not a real Batman comic. It's a girl comic for girls."
I have spent the past 20 years begging DC (and Marvel, DC is not alone in this) to see women as a viable audience - as their largest potential growth audience! I have watched in dumbfounded frustration as they ignored the juggernaut success of Raina Telgemeier and Ngozi Ukazu and Alice Oseman running rings around the NY Times bestseller list and counted a 50k shipment here and there as a resounding triumph. I have literally seen them throw out survey responses from women because "those women had an agenda." (This is a true story. 2011 was rough, y'all.)
And all of a sudden, they gave us a comic actually catering to women and young people and fandom, and they put it on the most popular, current, modern platform for comics availably - and it's brilliant. It's smart and funny and stunningly drawn and every episode makes clever, inventive use of the scrolling format. They FINALLY gave us a girl comic for girls, and it's a masterpiece.
And yes, it riffs on fanon concepts. It also has its roots firmly in mainstream DCU canon. It references deep cuts. CRC Payne and StarBite know their shit. Jason Todd being a bookworm may be a fanon staple, but he does plenty of reading - including Jane Austen - in the 100% canon mainstream DCU comics.
It's not going to be for everything, because nothing is. It's completely fine if you don't like WFA. No one has to read it or enjoy it. If you're into Batman for the darkness and the crime and the ongoing plotlines and the angst, WFA won't be for you, and that's totally fine!
But to finally, finally be valued as a reader by DC, to have them do something smart and innovative and so, so well executed, and have the exact people they made it for dismiss it out of hand because Bruce has a "World's Okayest Dad" mug or whatever? Yeah, that chafes.

2023 fic reader highlights
thanks to mostlymaudlin for putting together this template. i'm going to enjoy rereading all of these over the next few days and using the floating ao3 comment box, which has significantly improved my life, and increased the unhinged nature of my comments.
Fic that made me laugh
Cool Things to Say to Your Soulmate by @powerful-owl & @love-leah • daniel ricciardo/max verstappen • a collection of soulmate AUs (everything em writes is hilarious, and this is full of heartache, miscommunication, and so many fun takes on the soulmate trope. delightful. haven't looked at geese the same way since.)
2. Fic that made me cry
one step closer and i'm real by @officialmood • daniel ricciardo/max verstappen • time travel, alternate universes (this fic is exquisite, every version of daniel that max meets is distinctly different and broke my heart in a multitude of ways. made my heart twist in the best way.)
3. Fic that gave me a story hangover
all this happened, more or less by multi21 • charles leclerc/max verstappen • social media, canon divergence (so much fun and so inspired! charles is a secret singer-songwriter, told through social media posts and devastating lyrics, le castellet is in my head at any given moment. went with this for story hangover because i thought about it for Days afterwards and then charles literally put his music on spotify. drop the escalier des fleurs content charles!!)
4. Fic I want to discuss book club style
playboy in the grotto by @freeuselandonorris • lando norris/oscar piastri • watersports (the pinnacle of horny romance: gross, filthy, desperate, fond. had to pause reading several times to rant about my favourite bits. need a book club to discuss the wider cinematic universe where they explore more kinks in the most tender way.)
5. Fic that got me a lil flustered
the fire is slowly dying by @strawberry-daiquiris • oscar piastri/mark webber • age difference, mentor/protégé (this is one of the most unhinged fics i've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. oscar is a total menace. scenes in this fic will stay with me Forever. i urge anyone to take a chance on the pairing if you're intrigued and FEAST.)
6. Fic by one of my favourite authors
jump right in by @strawberry-daiquiris • lando norris/oscar piastri • rule 63 (imagine your fiancée muses, 'what if lando was a girl and she'd never had an orgasm?' one day and then a couple of months later she's still working on a 100k+ masterpiece following the 2023 season where a third of the grid are women? i'm the luckiest. this fic is everything and i'm going to be LOST without it when it's finished.)
7. Fic I reread more than once
screen glows in a dark room by @hollywoodsargeant • oscar piastri/logan sargeant • phone sex, sex toys (steaming hot phone sex, not a single word wasted. the first fic i read for this pairing and i keep coming back to it and also the whole apex predator series. HIGHLY recommend checking these out for the Dynamics.)
8. Fic I sent to everyone I know
side by side in orbit by @glasscushion • lando norris/oscar piastri, max fewtrell/lando norris • cuckolding, voyeurism, open relationships (the concept is rancid and the vibes are UNMATCHED. this was delicious. as i said in my comment: when max feels spit pool beneath his tongue, when he forgets to breathe because he's so into what's happening in front of him. i felt that!!!!! immediate rec.)
9. Fic that made me fall in love with an author
i'll kiss you first by venerat • lando norris/oscar piastri • a/b/o (my first fic for this pairing, i read it on a Very Early train and my brain never recovered. you might be able to tell from my tumblr. me reading this fic over and over like: 😅. still can't see the word 'ripe' and not think about lando being a grotty omega. every fic by venerat is an absolute BANGER. hit that subscribe button, my friends!!)
thank you to all of the wonderful authors and creators who have shared their work in fandom this year. 2023 has been a feast <3

Only A Fool Would Say That
Tumblr media
Nathan Bateman x F!Reader • Rating: 18+ pals Masterlist• ao3• want to be tagged? | request info
Summary: Nathan gets pegged.
A/N: I'm just gonna gesture vagely. (The title is from a Steely Dan song that I listened to on repeat while writing this.) In my mind this is set in the How universe (you don’t have to read that to read this fic), but Nathan and Reader are already in a relationship.
I also must mention @midgardian-witch's expectional Nathan fic: The Consequences Of Being A Brat (it's a masterpiece)
Warnings: (oh dear), hand job, blow job, eating ass (m receiving), anal fingering (m receiving), anal penetration (m receiving), pegging (m receiving), Nathan kinda being a bratty sub, spitting in mouth, vaginal fingering, swearing, typos, overuse of italics, please let me know if I've missed a warning.
Word Count: 4671
________________________________
“I want to do anal.”
There weren’t many things that Nathan could say that would shock you anymore. But this was pretty close. 
You’d been in the kitchen, minding your own business, and mindlessly eating your breakfast cereal while staring out the window and trying to shift the lingering sleep from your eyes. 
Nathan had come in, sweaty and out of breath from his morning exercise, with a small nod and wave as he drank what must have been a litre of water from the fridge. 
I want to do anal. Was not the first thing you expected to hear out of his mouth this morning. 
But at least it was in character.
You nearly spat milk everywhere. Just managing to catch yourself at the last moment. 
With unnecessary dramatic flair, you looked at him and swallowed. A small smirk on your lips. “I’m sure you do.” 
It’s not that you were against the idea, just the way he asked. 
He stared at you, a small frown on his forehead for a moment until a look of realisation dawned. 
“Oh, no, that’s no, not what I…” 
You almost laughed at the uncharacteristic way he stumbled over his words.
He clapped his hands together with a theatrical pizazz.“Pegging!” He announced with an air of excitement at remembering the correct term. “I meant pegging!” He grins, his hands on his hips. 
“Pegging?” 
He nods, still smiling.
“You want me to peg you?”
Nathan nods, his smile a little less sure. 
“Right now?” 
“Well I was thinking about having a shower first-”
“Okay.”
“Okay?” 
“Okay.” You nod. “You got a strap laying around here somewhere?” 
Nathan puffed out his chest and beamed. “Several.”
*
Several was a bit of an understatement. 
Nathan had left you to peruse his collection in his room while he showered. There were a  mixture of colours and a variety of sizes and shapes, ranging from the realistic to more abstract. Some had a set harness to go with them, while others could seemingly be placed in one of the many empty harnesses he had. 
He had pulled the box containing them out of his large cupboard and onto the carpeted floor where you were now kneeling. In the brief time the cupboard had been open you had spotted quite a few other boxes that seemed to contain ‘items of personal and intimate use’. 
It seemed like instead of a sex toy drawer, Nathan had a sex cupboard. 
Figured.
You were still looking them over when Nathan came back into the room, his towel hanging low on his hips.
He raised his eyebrows at you. “See any you like?” 
You turned to look at him over your shoulder. “You certainly have a few.”
“You’re not shaming me are you?” He teased. 
He mock gasped. “What?” 
You snorted. “I think you’d like that.”
“A bit of degradation? Seems like your thing.” 
“I don’t know what you mean.” He said, but he was smiling.
You chuckled. “Sure you don’t.” You turned back to the collection and pinched your lips together in thought. “Which one’s your favourite?” 
“Oh, erm,” he paused, not expecting your question, and walked over to you, standing a step behind. “That’s tough.” 
You looked up at him over your shoulder again, raising your eyebrows playfully. 
“What?” He laughed. 
You shook your head. “Nothing.” 
“Tell me.” His voice had a slight whine to the edge, he was starting to get worked up. 
You shrugged. “I’ll just have to use them all on you, see which one makes you scream the loudest.” 
Nathan’s gulp sounded loudly around the room. You could see his semi hard cock twitch beneath his bath towel. 
“I have one, erm,” he rummaged in the box for a strap and harness that you hadn’t taken out yet. “Here, it’s got,” he tapped inside the harness, “this bit.” Nathan held it out to you expectantly. 
You took it out of his hand slowly, taunting him just a little as you brushed your fingers unnecessarily slowly over his skin. 
The little shiver that echoed in his shoulders was delicious. 
“This bit?” You repeated, trying your best to pretend you didn’t know what it was despite your smile giving you away. 
He grinned and eagerly sat down next to you. “This bit goes in you, and this bit,” his voice was soft and velvet smooth. He leant forward a little, pressing his finger against your clit through your clothes, “goes here.” 
“Oh really?” You tease, leaning closer to him. Faintly you trace your lips over his. 
“Yes.” He whispers. He follows your lips, letting out a light laugh when you move back whenever he tries to fully kiss you. Slowly, he rubbed your clit, keeping his touch gentle and teasing, just lacking enough pressure.  
You lean forward quickly and kiss him for barely a second before you pull back again. 
Nathan bites his lip, grinning before nuzzling into your neck and breathing deeply. “It also transfers sensations.” 
“Transfers sensations?” You run your fingers down his bare back. 
He leans up lazily and nods. “So you feel extra good when I… you know.” He grins.
“Cum?” 
Nathan chuckles, “well, yeah, but also when I clench around it and stuff like that, it sends,” he waved his fingers in the air. “Vibrations.” 
“Oh, vibrations.” You tease and kiss him again, chuckling when he smiles. “You wanna use this one, then?” 
He hums and kisses you, moving his hand up your spine and to the back of your neck so you couldn’t taunt him this time and pull away. 
“I wanna use that one, yeah.” He slipped his tongue into your mouth briefly, making you chase his kisses now. “Want you to know how good you make me feel.” He laughs gently when you softly bite his bottom lip. 
“Oh, I see.” You mutter against his lips. 
“Um hmm,” he rubs his nose against your cheek, trailing down to your jaw and kissing your neck. 
You swallow down a gasp of pleasure. “So, I’m taking it that you’ve done this before?” You said, even though you knew the answer.
“Hmm?” Nathan starts to bite softly against your skin, picking a spot that he knows will make you writhe. 
“Nathan,” you grab him by the chin firmly, sinking your fingers into his beard and force his head back a little.
He grins wickedly, his eyes glazing over ever so slightly as blood rushes downwards. There was little he loved more than being a brat. 
“I asked you a question.” You make your voice a little firmer and his pulse quickens under your fingers. 
“Do you mean being pegged or shoving things up my ass?” 
“Both.” 
“Yes.” He smiles and bats his eyes at you. 
A little flush of heart runs along your skin. Playfully, you give his jaw a squeeze and Nathan leans into the touch, closing his eyes for a second. 
You kiss him softly, keeping one hand on him while the other pulls at the towel on his waist. Slowly undoing it. 
Nathan chuckles lightly and you squeeze his jaw tighter briefly, reminding him of his place. 
He rewards you with a light gasp and a grin. 
“Are you gonna be bratty? Or are you gonna behave?” You move the towel off him so you can see his lovely thighs and rapidly thickening cock. 
“Choices, choices.” Nathan bites his lip and wriggles his whole body a little, enjoying winding you up. 
“If you’re going to be a brat,” you start sternly, “then I’m not going to-”
“I’ll be good, I’ll be good.” He quickly leans forward to kiss your lips and you let him, letting go of his jaw. “I’ll be good.” He smiles at you, putting on his best innocent impression. 
You raise your eyebrows at him. “You’d better be.” 
He bats his long eyelashes at you again. “When am I not good?” 
“Oh Nathan, I have no idea.”
He giggles at your tone of voice. His laughter quickly turning into gasps for breath as you take hold of his cock in your free hand. You pump him twice, quick hard strokes that you know he’s not ready for yet but craves, loving when you’re a little rough with him. 
There’s something about the little whines he lets out under your touch while he’s squirming, the stimulation a little too much but not enough. 
“What’s your safe word?” 
Nathan groans, rolling his eyes and about to say something sarcastic when you take your hand away, holding it up while giving him a look.
His look turns apologetic instantly. “Break Key.” 
“Good.” 
The tension eases out of him when you put your hand back on his dick, smiling dreamily when you rub your thumb over his head and tease his slit. 
Precum is pooling from him already, aiding the glide. You press your thumb a little firmer against the tip, the touch harder than most would like. But you feel his length jump in your hand as it always does, the long moan that escapes his lips as he leans back. 
“Nice?” You ask softly. 
“Yes.” He draws out the word, shifting slightly to move his legs further apart. 
WIthout warning you lean down, taking him into your mouth. 
“Oh fuck!” Nathan gasps, his eyes screwed up in pleasure as you swirl your tongue over his head. He groans loudly, his fingers digging into the carpet. 
You bob up and down, letting your saliva drip out of your mouth to run onto the rest of him as you pump him with your hand. 
He sucks in a breath, eyebrows pinched together as he fights the urge to buck up into your mouth. 
There were few things Nathan liked better than a messy blowjob. 
“Please… keep… going- shit!” He couldn’t help the hip jerk that time as you sank deeper, letting him hit the back of your throat. 
The warmth of your mouth is intoxicating. 
He shuffled back a little and kicked out one leg, brushing the neat collection of dildos into a mess on the side, before he laid down further, just resting his shoulders on the wardrobe behind him. 
You moved so that you were between his thighs, still sucking and taking him as deeply as you could. 
“Fuckfuckfuck,” Nathan pressed his palms against the wood behind him, trying to keep his eyes open as you swallowed him down. 
“Not close already are you?” You pulled off him and clicked a fat stripe from his base to tip.
He let out a low moan, his eyes almost rolling back. “No.” 
“Been thinking about me pegging you, hmm? Getting yourself all worked up?” You jerked him a few times before scraping your teeth lightly over his balls. 
He jumped and gasped, shuffling closer to you, inviting you to do it again. 
And you were weak, so you obliged him. 
“Yeah.” He groaned.
“Yeah that’s good,” you licked his balls, swirling your tongue around one and then the other. “Or ‘yeah, I’ve been thinking about getting pegged?’”
“Both.” He bit his lip as he whined, trying to keep himself under some semblance of control. “Fuck, thought about you fucking me yesterday, just,” he moaned louder as you dipped your tongue lower, under his balls and teased the rim of his hole. 
“Yes, yes, please, ugh, please, that,” he moved his legs wider, putting his feet flat on the floor and tilting his pelvis so that you had better access. 
You weren’t a stranger to eating Nathan’s ass. Or shoving a finger or two up there. Or a whole vibrating toy while you sat on his cock and rode him until he was an overstimulated crying mess. 
But still you couldn’t help but smile at his neediness. 
You traced the rim of his entrance with the tip of your tongue, barely one full rotation before he whined and thrusted a little towards you. 
“Someone’s eager,” you muttered and nipped at his asscheek. 
He jolted and shivered. “I fucking am, please.” Only Nathan could make begging sound like an order. 
You chuckled and let it slide, this time, before spitting on his hole and lapping at him.
A string of swear words fell out of his mouth, so close together they were barely distinguishable as english. 
Gently, you teased his entrance, easing in the tiniest amount before going back to circling and licking. 
God he sounded so good. Pleasure dripped down your spine as he writhed, igniting your already burning arousal. 
He whined under you bucking until you tutted and pushed on the back of his thighs, pressing his legs to his stomach. His strong muscles twitched under your hands as you curled him up on himself before you continued your assault. 
“Oh, oh fuck, yes,” he still tried to buck, but his movements were hampered in his position. 
You’d managed to make him cum like this before, more than once. Just licking and teasing his needy hole until tears streamed down his cheeks. 
The first time he had sobbed out a proper ‘I’m sorry’, as he came untouched. Feeling so bad for cuming without warning. His release splattering all over his stomach and chest - some of it even reaching his beard. 
“Please, please, please, more,” he wiggled under you, trying to get you to stop teasing and go deeper. 
You mock sighed, as if he was boring you. “Get on the bed.” 
He began to whine.
“Get on the bed or I’ll fuck you dry and won’t let you cum at all.”
Nathan pouted. “That’s mean.”
“Then behave.” 
“I-”
“If you say you are Bateman…” You glared and he snapped his mouth shut before treating you to a sickeningly sweet smile. 
“I’ll get on the bed.” 
“Good.” You let go of his thighs and he got up, his thick cock bobbing against his stomach as he stood. He made a show of stretching like his muscles ached, giving you winks and sideways glances the whole time.
You smacked his ass playfully. “Get. On. The. Bed.” 
“I’m going.” He smiled and laid down in the middle of the bed, getting comfy and repositioning pillows. 
You watched him for a moment until you were satisfied, and then stood up and grabbed the lube from the bedside table. 
Nathan watched you, still beaming as if butter wouldn’t dare to melt in his mouth. 
You shook the bottle before pouring a generous amount onto your fingers. You didn’t bother to warm the lube up first, he definitely didn’t deserve that. 
WIthout much ceremony you climbed onto the bed and sat between his legs. 
Nathan gave you another syrupy smile, you raised your eyebrows at him. 
“Wha- Oh!”
You pushed two fingers into him without warning, waiting for the moment he started to talk. Nathan groaned, aching his back off his mattress. You knew from previous experience that he could take two of your fingers with little to no prep, but you still stopped half way in, about to check in with him. 
“Please, don’t stop.” He groaned, his voice vibrating through your hand.
You smiled and indulged him, sinking in deeper. 
“Fuuuuuucccckkkkk yessssss.” He stretched his legs out, moving them wider. Warmth burned low in your belly, every sound that escaped him made your pussy clench and ache to be filled.
Slowly you eased out and then back in, savouring his little grunts of pleasure. Though, even with how worked up he was, the tight ring of muscle seemed surprisingly loose. 
“Nathan,” you say in a sing-song voice, still languidly pushing back and forth. 
“Hmm?” 
“Were you touching yourself in the shower?” 
“I, ah, a bit.” His neck flushed. 
“How?” 
“I, shit, I,” he swallowed and then gulped as you poured more cold lube over his hole. “I shoved some fingers up there.” 
“How many?” 
“Erm… two?” He was a fucking awful lair when he was getting fucked. 
You stopped moving. 
“Three! Three!” 
“Alright,” you started to move again, quickening your pace, adding even more lube and then pushing in a third and fourth finger. 
“Ohshitshitshit,” he moaned loudly, so happily as you fucked him harder, stretching him. Though you purposefully ignored his prostate. He hadn’t been good enough for that. 
“Hmmmm, please,” he whined. 
“Why didn’t you tell me?” 
“I, ah, I didn’t mean to,” he sucked in a breath. 
Of course he had, you knew that, just as you knew it was part of the game. He liked to be just on the edge of misbehaving. Liked you to get a little rough with him. 
“I’m gonna have to put you in a chastity belt, aren’t I? One with a butt plug to stop you touching yourself.”
Nathan groaned, his eyes rolling back at the thought. 
“Oh, you won’t like it though, it won’t be long enough for you to feel good. Just wide so you’re all nice and stretched, but no relief.” 
He moaned again, loudly. “Fuck, baby, please, don’t I’ll acutally cum.” His tone sincere.
“What?” You chuckled. “Just at the thought?” 
He nodded desperately. 
“Okay,” you leant down and kissed his thigh, grinning. “We’ll save that for another time.” 
Slowly you pulled your fingers out of him.
“Hey,” he sat up a little, blinking heavily once he realised what you were doing. 
You grinned. “I’ll be right back.” You said as you sat up and walk out of the room. 
“I was enjoying myself, you know!” He called after you with pretend annoyance. 
“I know!” Quickly you washed your hands in the ensuite before coming back into the room and picking up the chosen strap-on from the floor. 
Nathan watched you hungrily, his eyes dark and hazy with lust. 
Slowly, you stripped. 
“Do you want me to make you feel nice?” He asked quietly, drinking in your body as you bared your skin for him. 
You smiled at him, enjoying basking in his loving gaze for a moment. “I already feel nice.” 
“You know what I mean.”
For a second you enjoyed the flush of his skin, the sweat pooling at his collar bone. 
“Yeah, but you know that I get all worked up when you moan like that.” 
Nathan bit his lip, his cock twitching. “Fuck.” He muttered under his breath. “Yeah?” 
You nod. 
“Can I feel?” 
You giggle and nod, pulling off your underwear that was practically dripping with your arousal and adding it to the pile of the rest of your clothes on the floor. 
Not wasting any time, you moved towards him and where he had reached out his hand. 
Softly he stroked his fore and middle fingers through your folds and swore loudly, closing his eyes. 
“See? I wasn’t joking.”
He nodded. “Hmm, uh huh, I know, I just,” he looked up at you lovingly and dipped his fingers a little further inside before groaning. His cock twitched against his stomach again, the tip red and desperate as it smeared precum over his stomach.
“I just forget,” he mutters, “how much you like it.” 
You smile and lean down, kissing him softly. 
Nathan slides his tongue into your mouth, using the opportunity to sink his fingers into you and curl them, pressing perfectly inside to that glorious spot he knew so well. 
He’d once made you cum in eight seconds with his fingers. So determined to get it under ten that he had brought out a proper stopwatch. Making you cry and sob with overstimulation as he tried again and again and again, whispering praises in your ears as you continuously fell apart for him. That had been a long, and very satisfying, afternoon. 
“Nathan,” you chastise, but his fingers feel so good. 
“Hmmm?” He asks innocently, sliding in and out of you, making sure to push up and brush against your walls in exactly the right way. 
You rock back and forth against his fingers, your body following his rhythm without a second thought. 
“You’re being bad.” Though your criticism was a little hampered by the breathy moan that followed. 
“Please, please, let me make you cum once like this,” he looked up at you with that irresistibly soft expression he reserved for you. “Just once. Please.” 
You nodded, not trusting your own voice and Nathan groaned happily. 
He added his thumb to press softly against your clit as he worked you up, slow and steady. 
The sound of your wetness nearly cut above Nathan’s own pants and sighs as he worked you at just the right pace. Teasingly you slowly until you couldn’t take it any longer. 
A moan began to escape your lungs, Nathan’s cue, and was quickly cut off with a silent scream as he moved faster, continuously stroking your g spot until your legs shook and you came against his hand. 
It washed over you like a cool wave, striking against every nerve and leaving you weak. 
“Fuck…” You moaned, grabbing out hold his wrist and the edge of the bed to stop yourself from falling. 
Nathan smiled and kissed you, slowly pulling his fingers out once you let go of his wrist. 
He went to put them in his mouth but you grabbed his palm and shoved them between your lips first, making him moan and pout at the same time. 
“But I wanted a taste.” He gave you the puppy dog eyes and you snorted, making a show of licking up and down his fingers, getting every last drop. 
You didn’t swallow though. Instead you leant forward, over his face and pursing your lips. 
Nathan grinned and opened his mouth eagerly, sticking out his tongue as you spat in his mouth. He groaned and only swallowed when you nodded your head. 
“What do you say?” 
“Thank you.” 
You tutted but smiled. “I shouldn’t be rewarding you, you’ve been so naughty.” 
“No.” He elongated the word and then chuckled when you gave him a look. “Maybe a bit.” 
“Hmm.”
“But you like that about me, you like my spunk.”
You rolled your eyes “gonna make you spunk more like.” You muttered. 
Nathan laughed loudly, not expecting your reaction or grumpy tone and you couldn’t help but smile as you grabbed hold of the strap on, coating the inner dildo with lube before stepping into the harness and sliding it into your aching pussy. Your previous orgasm helping it to glide in comfortably. 
Methodically you adjusted the straps, making sure it was tight enough. The inner part pressed snuggly against your clit.
You touched the head of the strap and-shit!
You jump, letting out a small squeak of surprise.
Nathan grinned. “Told you you’d feel it.” 
“That’s so weird.” You touched the tip again, sensations rubbing against your clit and through the dildo inside. 
“You like it?” 
You nod. “Did you make this?” 
He grins. “How did you know?” 
It’s your turn to chuckle. “It seems like a very Nathan thing to do.” 
His smile widens. “I’m taking that as the highest compliment.” He says as he lays back down against the bed, legs spread. 
You pour lube over the dildo, feeling the coolness along your clit, and stroke it. The sensations pulse inside your wall.
For the smallest moment you get a little distracted by the feeling before you shake your head and climb on the bed. 
As you lean over Nathan to grab a spare pillow the cock brushes against the bed sheets and a shiver of sensation passes along you. 
He gives you a cheeky grin. “Feel good.” 
“Yeah.” How breathy your voice is undermines you a little. 
“Maybe we can try you wearing it while I suck it another time?” 
“You wanna suck my dick?” You smile and Nathan nods enthusiastically. 
“I do."
“Well, I won’t say no to that.”
You tap his hips and Nathan raises them instantly as you place the pillow under his ass and lower back. 
He shifts a little, getting comfortable as you pour more lube on the dildo and then over his asshole. 
“You okay in this position?” You say as you kneel between his legs. 
Nathan nods. “Very.” 
“Good.” 
Gently you line yourself up with him and it feels so strange as you press the tip of the cock against his greedy hole, the vibrations of sensation running up your clit and pressing the inner dildo against your walls so deliciously. 
“Fuck.” You groan and push deeper, gasping as Nathan clenches down around the cock instinctively. 
“Oh, god, yes,” he moans happily, sighing as if this was a glass of water after a long run. 
You try to slow down for a second, not wanting to rush him, but he whines in distress and shakes his head. So you push in just as quickly, just as firmly, until you’re fully sheathed inside.
And, oh god, does it feel good. 
Nathan moans against beneath you, rocking his hips slightly to encourage you to move. 
“Greedy thing.” You mutter.
And he sticks his tongue out at you even as he smiles, “you wouldn’t have me any other way.” 
You snort and draw your hips back, dragging out to the tip before snapping back into him and set a brutal pace. 
Nathan whines, his head thrown back and moaning loudly, swearing and pleading in every other breath. He grabs hold of the sheets, fisting them tightly before reaching out with his right hand for you. 
You take his hand, squeezing tight as you piston in and out of him, every thrust sending sparks of pleasure through you. 
“Fuck, yes, god, please, fuck me harder,” his voice gets higher, practically screaming as you lean forward, spreading him wider and pick up your pace. 
“Like that?” You manage to growl out through gritted teeth. 
“Yes, yes, yes,” Nathan squeezes your hand, his eyes rolling back in his head as pleasure coils so tightly in his belly and lower back. 
You shift slightly, readjusting just so and he screams. Moaning and begging, becoming a complete and utter mess instantly as you hit his prostate head on. 
You grunt and shift, hitting it again and again, pounding into him relentlessly. Fucking him within an inch of his life. 
He’s squeezing you so tight, the pleasure burning through you and bringing you dizzyingly high. 
The headboard smack, smack, smacks into the wall, chipping paint with the force of your thrusts. 
It’s so good, he feels so good and, and- oh, god. 
Nathan moans, his back arching off the bed as his orgasm takes him by surprise. Running along every nerve and hitting every muscle all at once. He spurts thick, milky cum all over himself as he shouts his throat raw. 
He squeezes you so tight and you sob as he drags you down with him, releasing and shaking as your orgasm finally crests. 
You rest against his legs and breath heavily, your heartbeat calming. The aftershocks of Nathan’s orgasm echo through you via the dildo. 
Carefully you ease out of him, bending so you can littler his legs with kisses as you do so. 
Somehow you manage to stand, despite your legs having apparently turned to lead and stumble to the bathroom. You clean yourself up, taking off the strap and throwing it in the sink to be washed later, before returning with a warm wet cloth to clean up Nathan. 
He is in much the same position that you left him in, his eyes closed as he starts to nod off. 
You kiss his cheek softly as you sit next to him. “Just gonna clean you up, okay?” 
“Hmm,” he says sleepily. “Thank you.” 
He shivers a little as you wipe him clean, despite the cloth's warmth. 
“You might need another shower.” You speak softly, and kiss his cheek again. 
“Later,” he shuffles closer to you, wrapping you in an embrace and snuggling close. 
You manage to throw the cloth onto the bedside table, just. And relax into his arms. 
“Was that nice?” You murmur, gently massaging his arms and back. 
He nods, his eyes closed. “Let’s do it again later.” 
You can’t stop the laugh that overtakes you. 
Nathan smiles against your skin, loving the sound.

THE CENTENNIAL HUSBANDS 2024 BIG BANG IS LIVE!
You can read my fic on Ao3 - Entropy and Optimism, rated T, 56k words, complete at 13 chapters.
Hob Gadling is offered immortality by Death in 1389 and he meets with her every 100 years. In his dreams, he befriends and grows close with a man who he knows is Death's brother, but who never gave Hob his name. After a disaster in the late 1700's ties him even closer to Death, Hob sees his Stranger less and less, and believes his choices are to blame. Meanwhile, exhausted by seeing Death everywhere he goes and heartsick over losing his relationship with her brother, in 1889 he tells her that while he still wishes to live, he does not want to see her again.
Hob goes over a hundred years with no word from either of them, until one day two women with two talking ravens show up and tell him that his friend desperately needs his help. He embarks on the quest, hoping to once again see his mysterious Stranger, who he learns must be the King of Dreams. But when he arrives in the Dreaming he finds two people he has never met ruling, his friend asleep as if under a spell, and the kingdom falling apart around them, with the legions of Hell trying to invade.

And check out the art from my amazing artist Koresephone !!!

The plot for this story started out as the plot of the novel Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold, which is one of my favorite novels ever written. I consider it to be an absolute masterpiece of writing and plot weaving. It won a Hugo, a Nebula AND a Locus award for a REASON, and Ms Bujold is a far better writer than I am.
I had to change a lot of stuff to make the plot fit the setting and characters. So much stuff that I debated is it really even the same story anymore? Apparently very few people in the active fandom are familiar with the Bujold novel, which meant no one would see exactly what I was trying to do.
But it also meant that there was no one out there who was going to write this story if I didn't write it! This is the first novel-length story I've ever completed, and my first big bang, and honestly if you're going to borrow, borrow from the best of the best, right? I was already using Neil's characters, and I think I did a pretty good job!
I'd love to hear if you enjoy it!

gojo satoru x reader fic recs (I)
Tumblr media
‣ now that i've got loads of free time, thought why shouldn't i use it well by showing (few of) my fave authors their much well-deserved love, respect and attention? ^_^
‣ this is merely a list of works i've enjoyed reading. kindly heed the tags and warnings in each of them and consume content responsibly, at your own discretion. that being said, i own neither these fics nor the characters nor the above gif. enjoy reading! 🥰
⌀ all that is solid [series] by GrilledTandooriSmoke on ao3
one of the best series there is. period. the fluff, the angst, the drama, the humor, the romance, the friendship, the plot, the dialogues - everything is top-notch in this series, i'm telling you. bonus points for being narrated in both reader's and gojo's pov.
⌀ The King is But a Man [series] by Petrichorium on ao3 (@petrichorium on tumblr)
royal!gojo who's terribly in love with the reader x reader who's equally (but way more discreetly) in love with gojo. add to that, the trope of childhood sweethearts reunited as adults, excellent communication between the couple and a wonderfully-crafted world and dialogues - what more could you ask from a series?
⌀ Ten to None (Soulmate AU) (oneshot) by Oreosmama on ao3
a fic which i adore with every fibre of my being. i will not say anything more about this, except to request you to go read this. you'll love it. (especially the fantabulous ending. btw, did i already say how much i'm in love with how well-written this fic is?)
⌀ Scarred [oneshot] by cainis on ao3
one of the best angst-with-a-happy-ending fic there is. i wish i could give thousands of kudos for the heart-wrenchingly amazing way the author has portrayed gojo's character here.
⌀ Mother of otherness, Eat me [oneshot] by itsbaby on ao3
one of the most beautiful works i've read so far. told from yuuji's pov, it explores gojo and reader's relationship and its nuances in a way seldom done before. however, what stole the show for me, was the soft and sweet mother-son duo the reader and yuuji grow to be in this fic. i really love this one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
⌀ something sweet [oneshot] by heresan on ao3 (@pretty-toru on tumblr)
i love love love this fic. it's so fluffy, so funny, so cute, so heart-warming... just read this fic, people. you won't ever be disappointed by the dynamics reader and gojo have in this one. one of my all-time faves, tbh.
⌀ teen dad Gojo [series] by pantao on ao3 (@seravphs on tumblr)
a sweet and realistic depiction of reader and gojo being teenaged parents to young megumi, all the while they try to figure out their feelings for each other. a perfect mixture of fluff, angst, drama, slice-of-life and romance, imo. (also, the author's notes are pure gold. whatever you do, please don't miss reading them! :D)
⌀ To see those eyes I prize above mine own (twoshot) by koyama on ao3
if you wish to watch godlike!gojo willing to let go of his powers, out of guilt and immense, immense, protective love for the reader, this is the ideal fic for you. i'm in awe of the way the writer wrote gojo's complex persona and the way the sorcerer realized his feelings for the reader. (the second chapter's the cherry on the cake. it's so good!!!!)
⌀ keeping up with the fushigojos (series) by @augustinewrites on tumblr
fluff? A+; angst? A+; drama? A+; characterization & dialogues? A+; humour? A+++++. a sureshot way to end a long hectic tiring day on a happy note is to read this series. (my go-to comfort series, ngl. :])
⌀ CAT & DOG (oneshot) by @mimiriko on tumblr
an adorable fic of gojo being in love with the reader, who knows, yet doesn't really know, much about it. plus, the feline-like features of gojo are sooo cute... and this fic is sooo sweet... the story left me smiling when i finished reading it.
⌀ surely summer wasn't over yet [3 chapters] by 3rdgymbros on ao3
an amazing fic set against the backdrop of the hidden inventory arc. the portrayal of the characters and their dynamics is simply impeccable. despite my kind-of-dislike towards this particular arc of the manga, i really enjoyed reading this one.

This is a rant I've been meaning to get off my chest for a while, but the conception on Tumblr, AO3, and sometimes here, that Jake is capable of "teasing" Dirk, and all that implies, irks me deeply.
Let me be clear: Jake English is not self-aware. He, in Canon, never does anything resembling self-awareness, maturity, emotional boldness, or anything else that requires a spinal column. This includes apologizing to anyone, talking about his problems in a way that doesn't end up being selfish, teasing someone, particularly Dirk, or transitioning. (I maintain this especially; he does not have the boldness, maturity, self-awareness, or nerve to have transitioned his gender presentation pre-Act-6.)
He has an *understanding* of pranks, if we allow Paradox Space as evidence, but that's it. He makes *Tavros* look like a fully-roleplayed-into-Class-shift Lord.
You know what the popular Fandom perception of Jake, as a member of a DirkJake relationship, lines up with? *John*, before his main writing trait became a deep, all-consuming depression and repression thing.
Like, John’s original Act 5 and earlier characterization before his underreaction to his dad's death and the spiral that sent him down towards his current "transition would not save her" characterization is what people use for Jake (charming, funny, actually seems to have his shit together enough to maybe be transmasc (man, remember *transmasc John*?), and, most importantly, seemingly capable of dealing with the levels of vaguely sociopathic bullshit that an even-close-to-accurate Dirk would throw at him), but DirkJohn/JohnDirk is less popular, to the point of not having a consensus order, simply because Jake and Dirk are *coded* as liking each other.
I think a lot of people miss that DirkJake is fundamentally the Equius of relationships; Hussie isn't one of those writers that feels pride in finding pathos in the ridiculous, but spiteful glee and humor. He genuinely does not care if he accidentally touches people's hearts in a way that doesn't involve Dave, or *maybe* Vriska. The fact is, DirkJake is a joke relationship, which is spelled out very clearly in their conversation.
You know, their conversation. The one they have together. The time we see someone who is actual Dirk Strider, not Hal pretending, not Aranea co-opting a memory, not a Brain Ghost, talking to Jake. That time.
Yeah, that doesn't exist. DirkJohn has as much conversational basis as DirkJake.
Edit:
LESS! GAME OVER! "I FAILED"! LESS!!!
DirkJake is a joke, a long, subtle one being made on everyone who saw Dirk's affections and immediately wanted him to get together with his disabled(?) ongoing harassment victim. Hussie was having a lot of fun making it seem like Jake found it important in the Masterpiece, I'll tell you that much.
@thelifetimechannel/@geejaysmith/@clonerightsagenda did magnificently wringing blood from this stone, I really do mean that, their Alphas are genuinely written better than Canon for 3/4, but that's all it ever was; every DirkJake writer is the YouTube comments under [this video](https://youtu.be/B7bpv5xyrOY?si=wYTCFDHM5ZzOY8fp) saying Equius could ever have been more than what he was.
TL:DR
1, Jake is pathetic, and we should remember this.
2, Hussie is a jackass who hates us one and all for the sin of caring and everything he has done with this franchise since maybe EOY2 has had an ulterior motive, and we should remember this.
3, Most people who write longfics set in SBURBless AUs, whether normalcy or fantasy, and want to ship Dirk and Jake should really be shipping Dirk with John, since now that history of Dirk-Jake interactions that justifies the ship in-Universe is gone at the Author's leasure, John would have the dynamic they want, and they talk *exactly as much*.
4, If you want to trans Jake, [there's a sensible way to do that](https://archiveofourown.org/works/8619856), but there's no in-character way to make him transmasc.
5, Read DDOTA, I beseecheth of you. Like yeah the Striders are emotional to a kinda weird degree but apart from that they really got everyone down right.
