✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩

All the fics I’ve read and really enjoyed in the past week-ish. Reminder: This list features any and all ratings and themes. Please look at tags and warnings on ao3 before reading.

Natsume Yuujinchou

the smallest things by taizi

In which Takashi comes into the Fujiwaras' lives much earlier on.

Untamed

Nice work if you can get it by deliciousblizzardshark (+ podfic)

(In order to make Wei Wuxian feel welcome at the Cloud Recesses, and to make sure people give him the respect he deserves (and definitely not to get into his pants), Lan Wangji hires him to be his advisor.)

“Lan Zhan, did you hire me just so you could punish people for disrespecting me?”

“No,” Lan Wangji said. “It is a side benefit.”

“Why did you hire me?”

“Because you are knowledgeable and skilled,” Lan Wangji said, “and I trust you to assist me in my work.”

Because everything is easier with you around and because I feel like a part of me is missing without you and because you can say things I can’t and because I need you he did not say.

“And you secretly like being a bitch to people,” Wei Wuxian added, with a sly grin.

Clone Wars

The Past Remains by otherhawk

The war drags on leaving trauma and destruction in its wake. After a bereaved Master is accused of harming his padawan, Obi-Wan is sent to talk to her, dredging up memories of his own past.

Betting by Proxy by kotekenobii

Newly transferred to the 212th Attack Battalion, Proxy finds himself cornered and given a secret mission by none other than THE Marshal Commander Cody.

Hic Sunt Lodices by handdrawnisopach, SniperAnon (The_Big_Reveal)

"..... Why do you live in a cave?"

Obi-Wan smiles, careful not to show his sharp teeth. "It's peaceful up here. The long climb means most people don't bother me, and no one might try to take my things. Also, maintaining a cave gives me plenty of space for my research without the expense and fuss of maintaining an estate."

He pulls out one of the large cushions so he can sit comfortably across from Cody. "I research magic," he explains. "Can't do it myself, but I have a good line in alchemy, chemistry, and pharmacy. I enjoy studying the more theoretical aspects too. So time and peace to do my reading and writing are important to me."

Cody nods slowly, his eyes sharper, more alert as he scans over the lair and the eclectic collection of items. Then his golden brown eyes drift to Obi-Wan. "Are you a dragon?" He asks, voice rough from exhaustion.

"Ah." Obi-Wan grips the hem of his skirt. "A bit? A bit dragony. Yes. That's fair."

Learned Men by Trixree

It becomes the Question—the one every vod is talking about from the bridge of the Negotiator to her dark bowels where the laundry rooms churn and chug along: who takes care of the General?

In which Obi-Wan is touch starved and his men take notice.

Trust fall by Ididloveyou_once

'Drake?’

Tim felt like he was choking. His throat was tight. He couldn’t swallow.

‘Damian?’ He managed.

Damian was… here. At Kent Farm. Dressed in the too-big Batman pajamas that Dick had bought him last Christmas as a joke. And- And-

Tim was wearing Kon’s t-shirt and his hair was messy and his lips were swollen and- He wasn’t ready for this- He wasn’t- He couldn’t-

How had he been so stupid?

Or: Tim comes out to Damian and prepares for the entire family to know by morning. It just so happens that Damian can keep a secret. Multiple, actually.

Wedding Album by Ididloveyou_once

'Let’s elope,’ Tim said, a little desperation leaking into his voice, ‘we could be on our way to Thailand by the end of the day.’

‘Actually,’ Conner’s amused eyes flickered toward Tim's family gathered at the dining table, ‘I think we’re going to Greece now.’

Or: Tim and Conner are getting married and everyone wants to be involved (snapshots of wedding planning very loosely connected by the creation of a wedding album).

Here's a character profile for Andrew, an SCP oc of mine I'm very biased towards. I created him in early 2020/late 2019, and he's my little baby boy (despite the information in this bio!)

-----

GEN.

Full Name: Andrew Jacquelin Griffin

Aliases: 1-1, And (he HATES this one)

Age/DOB: 36 (as of 2020), born on 30 December 1984 Place of Birth: Queensland, AU Spoken Languages: English, French (quite rarely, though)

Gender/Pronouns: Male, He/Him

Sexual/Romantic Orientation: Openly Bisexual

Affiliation: SCP Foundation

Occupation: MTF Nu-7 servicemember (Spec-Ops Combat Team, 1st Squadron, Platoon 2344, 3rd Company)

→ Rank: Task Force Lieutenant

-----

APPEARANCE.

BODY TYPE: Combination body type; Mesomorph and slight endomorph. Athletic, muscular, tall.

As a former Marine, Andrew has had his fair share of physical activity. He used to frequent the gym (and still goes when he's able to), and that, coupled with military training and other physical activity in his youth, has earned him a strong build.

He's quite tall as well, standing at 6'3", and nearly bordering 6'4". He can thank his father for his height. He also weighs in at around 230 lbs. Unit.

SCARRING: All over his body, pretty much.

Many of his scars are from injuries during his time spent working for the Foundation. However, there are some that are from before that, as he was deployed for combat twice. These include shrapnel wounds on his calves, and very few bullet wounds.

One notable scar is one he has on the left side of his neck; a bullet wound! While his skin wasn't fatally penetrated, a round grazed his flesh enough to result in bleeding and scarring. A scary moment for him!

His knuckles are pretty scuffed, due to some temperament issues resulting in occasional violent tendencies. The boy needs psychiatric help, I think.

NOTABLE PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES:

His hair is light brown and either very wavy, or slightly curly. In his earlier years, it was always cut short, but after being recruited by the foundation, he allowed it to grow out, and now maintains it at a length that falls just a few centimetres below his shoulders. When he's working his shift, he keeps it tied back neatly.

He has green eyes, and is the only member of his family with that eye colour (since it's a phenomenon that's the result of a genetic mutation). His expression is almost constantly either sleepy, or irritated!

He has many, many freckles, all over his body. This is due to spending quite a lot of time out in the sun, especially in his childhood. He grew up playing outdoor sports and engaging in a lot of outdoor activities in general.

VOICE:

The man's from Australia; born and raised in Queensland, specifically. Living in the state until about 14 has resulted in a permanent accent when he speaks English. The 'bogan' accent, too, as I've heard.

A slightly gravelly voice. He also often sounds like his throat is sore. He yelled a lot, and continues to do so.

It's very easy to tell how he's feeling through his voice, as there's a lot of emotional tone. He also speaks with the High Rising Terminal; the ends of his phrases and sentences have a higher intonation than the first. This is also due to the fact he's Australian. Uptalk is another word for it.

The volume of his voice entirely depends on the setting, his feelings, the situation, and who he's talking to. Exempli Gratia: If he's calm, and he's speaking to one person in a relatively quiet setting, he's very good at utilizing an inside voice.

FASHION:

He doesn't care much about his clothes. His closet is full of neutral tones. He's not the type of person to wear anything extravagant or stylish, or overly colourful.

Pertinent to the latter statement, his attire when out of uniform consists of sweatshirts, tshirts, or polos, as well as jeans, cargo pants, or sweats.

He's sensitive to cold temperature specifically, so he layers during winter, and is usually found wearing sweaters. Winter coats, too, obviously.

-----

PERSONALITY.

MYERS-BRIGGS: ENTJ-A

MORALITY ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Good

POS. TRAITS:

Strong-Willed: Despite his issues, he's not the type of man to give up on the pursuit of a goal, or on a challenge, all too easily. In fact, I don't think there's anything he enjoys more than a challenge.

Efficient: Andrew views inefficiency as a problem, especially in his field of work. When he has a job to do, he doesn't often procrastinate, no matter the circumstances.

Observant: Due to being in the military, he's learned to always be wary of his surroundings. This trait's only been heightened since being recruited to work for the Foundation.

Protective: Ever since he was young, Andrew's been protective of those he loves and cares about, and has taken on the responsibility to take care of people around him. Though this has dwindled over the years, it still remains.

Serious: Not much needs to be said for this one, other than the fact that if he has a job to do, there's absolutely no goofing-off tolerated.

NEG. TRAITS:

Stubborn: If he's absolutely convinced of something, it's quite difficult to change his mind!

Lack of Restraint: Andrew has a poor handling of his emotions, sometimes allowing them to influence his rationality, and decisions and actions.

Self-Doubting: Despite his position as a leader, he occasionally second-guesses his own decisions and thoughts.

Recklessness: Andrew doesn't see much value in his own existence, resulting in him constantly coming vis-à-vis with danger, willingly.

Ill-Tempered: Andrew deals with much, mentally, and has adopted the habit of transforming all negativity he feels into irritation and anger. He's prone to getting heated, and is no stranger to confrontation, physical or verbal.

------

EXTRA.

He's allergic to cats!

He can play the electric guitar, and is a big fan of Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC, and many other rock artists.

Before being recruited to work for the Foundation, he held the rank of Staff Sergeant (E-6) in the USMC. He was also deployed for combat twice.

He dislikes hospitals and hospital settings; they make him uncomfortable and anxious.

He's also quite jumpy. He dislikes having his back exposed, and he dislikes not being able to find any exits in an environment. He also isn't fond of thunder.

This aspect of his character honestly started off as a joke, but he's got the most insane luck ever. Survived a bullet graze to the neck, among multiple other injuries that SHOULD'VE killed him. As he realizes this, he becomes increasingly erratic, believing there's something quite wrong with him and his place in reality.

Absolutely despises corn syrup.

Afflicted with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder), GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), among other things.

Oddly attached to his equipment...

Here are some doodles of him. Not my full inventory, but these are ones in my current art style, because my old one is stinky. I draw this man very often, though.

Will I ever share his backstory, or tales/events? Maybe, maybe...
