My fantasies of moving out with my boyfriend were just that. Fantasies. He broke up with me. He left me. After a year with him and after our anniversary/right before Christmas, he broke up with me. I’m devastated and heart broken. It’s manifesting into physical pain. I can hardly eat without feeling sick. I’m hungry but can’t eat. I’m thirsty but can’t drink. I don’t want to cry but I keep crying. It’s been days of feeling this way. He broke up with me Tuesday. It’s now Saturday. I miss him so much.

Can someone please write a fanfiction about D&D: Honor Among Thieves but it’s just them playing in real life and Simon rolls like three nat 1’s in a row trying to get acclimated to the Helm of Disjunction? Anyone?

Headcanon #500:

Mind is afraid that when he distances himself from or above the others, that he will be too far gone to come back down. That when his paranoia gets the best of him, he'll shut everyone else out and then be completely alone with no way back to where he was before.

Heart is afraid that if Mind is right, with the idea that what he does isn't genuine, that he's being manipulative without realizing it. Then therefore being Whole without himself there is the better option. That he'd be thrown out because his ideas would then be "not worth it" or even "vile"

Soul is afraid that no matter what he does or how good things will be, they'll always eventually split up again or even end up worse. Even then he has no clue what he's supposed to do or be during everything, and so because of that he'll never be whole. Or worse that he'll never really "feel" whole.

okay okay i think i’m a bit late to the game but carisi realizing he’s in love for the 5-sentence blurbs!

send asks for sonny carisi x reader (5 sentence baby blurbs!)

-

It hits Sonny like a truck - the feeling that has been cumulating in his chest for months since he first met you; a warm, giddy, safe throb in his chest. He loves you.

Sonny doesn’t think as he leans across the small table between you both to press his lips to yours, effectively cutting you off in the middle of your sentence. The bottom of tie skims the top of the pasta he is having, tomato base on silk - a nightmare for his dry cleaner, but Sonny doesn’t care, doesn’t care about anything in the moment but the words that are begging to be let out from his mouth.

“I love you,” he says against your lips, and Sonny feels your smile against his.

KJ being confrontational with Mac - 1x02 // 1x05

#paper girls #papergirlsedit #someone asked for a 'kj touches mac' gifset #and someone else for a 'kj and mac bickering' one #and one of these is coming but #while looking for these i found these two scenes very interesting #because kj and mac do bicker a lot #but it's almost never seriously confrontational #mainly because kj is so obviously fond of mac #even when mac is being an asshole or parroting her father's bigoted beliefs #kj is gentle with her #but there are two instances where kj becomes physically confrontational with mac #the second instance is very obviously and textually a result of gay panic #but i believe the first one is also! #kj is not antagonizing mac because mac wants to leave #i think she's doing so because just before that she has talked about remembering seeing mac for the first time #and mac called her a stalker for it #which i'm pretty sure hit a chord with kj #because a baby kj who feels so completely trapped by her parents' expectations #would have no doubt looked at someone as seemingly carefree as mac with admiration #like even beyond the crush aspect of it #i do believe kj has probably been very aware of mac's existence for a long time #and being called a stalker for it would for sure bring on some gay panic regardless of kj's level of awareness #anyway #kj's 'fight or flight' response is very firmly set on fight #and i love her #*mine

I knew legit nothing about paper girls going into it but I love it so much?? I’m having a great time

#I love Mac like sweet babe finally finding a healthy family that she loves and having to leave so they don’t get killed :/ #I love tiff the way she’s no nonsense and so smart but so fragile too #I love kj so much just everything about this child I love she’s so good #and Erin seeing how she ends up and trying to navigate how her expectations don’t materialise and respect her older self for the decisions #she made I’m ahhhhhhh #and the fact that the whole time it’s blatantly obvious they’re 12???? not being forced to grow up no hyper sexualisation no focus on #relationships it gets the balance so right and I love it for that #(I’m only half way through but this is true so far and even if developments happen I don’t think it’ll change the overall vibe of the show #which is what I’m loving) #paper girls #kiera talks tv

Why I believe the Will Darling Adventures were originally conceived as johnlock fanfiction

I will die on this hill.

The Will Darling Adventures (Slippery Creatures, Sugared Game, Subtle Blood) by KJ Charles are my favorite guilty pleasure comfort books. I have listened to the audiobooks an embarrassing number of times. I can play exchanges of dialogue in my head from memory, reader’s inflections and all. If you haven’t read them and you like a mix of adventure and gay smut (plus it’s a trilogy so there’s time for more complex characterization and more gradual relationship development than you usually get in books of the genre), then absolutely go do that, and don’t read below—because here be spoilers. Also, because the books are a delight.

So. Grand theory.

To be clear: I am not knocking these books AT ALL (if I’m honest, the Holmesian flavor is part of why I like them so much). As in many really good works of fanfiction, the characters have ceased to be mere copies, and have gained their own original and internally consistent characterization. Kim and Will are not Holmes and Watson, but I am completely convinced that the latter were the inspiration for the former. Here are some of the parallels/moments of homage:

Watson => Will

Returned to England from war with nowhere to go; ended up in London: “I had neither kith nor kin in England, and […] naturally gravitated to London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained.” (Study in Scarlet) => “…his mother had died from the Spanish ‘flu while he’d waited to be demobbed […] So, like everyone else, he’d come to London…” (Slippery Creatures)

Ran out of money as a recently-discharged veteran: “So alarming did the state of my finances become…” (Study in Scarlet) => “…his slide into poverty was unstoppable...” (Slippery Creatures)

War wound that nearly killed him: “For months my life was despaired of...” (Study in Scarlet) => “A month in hospital.” (Sugared Game)

Saved by an underling who never appears in the story: “…had it not been for the devotion and courage shown by Murray, my orderly, who threw me across a pack-horse and succeeded in bringing me safely to the British lines.” (Study in Scarlet) => “If it hadn’t been for the bravest stretcher-bearer in Flanders, I’d have died out there.” (Sugared Game)

Retained his favorite weapon from the war: “I have my old service revolver and a few cartridges.” (Study in Scarlet) => “…the Messer, his old trench knife...” (Sugared Game)

Is asked to bring the weapon on adventures: “Put your pistol in your pocket.” (Study in Scarlet) => “Got your knife?” (Sugared Game)

POV character

Holmes => Kim

Has a bunch of names but goes by a middle one: William Sherlock Scott Holmes => Arthur Aloysius Kimberley de Brabazon Secretan

Has pretty hands, which are something of a fixation for the POV character

Doesn’t eat much: “My friend had no breakfast himself, for it was one of his peculiarities that in his more intense moments he would permit himself no food…” (Norwood Builder) => “They ate breakfast, or at least Will did, while Kim chewed a single slice of toast with distaste.” (Subtle Blood)

Withholds information because he doesn’t trust his partner’s ability to deceive: “You won’t be offended, Watson? You will realize that among your many talents dissimulation finds no place.” (Dying Detective) => “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before, but subterfuge isn’t your strong suit.” (Sugared Game)

Withholds information for dramatic effect: “It was too bad to spring it on you like this, but Watson here will tell you that I never can resist a touch of the dramatic.” (Naval Treaty) => “Of course Kim would turn up after two months with some bizarre story; of course he wouldn’t tell it like a normal person.” (Sugared Game)

Plays fast and loose with legality: “Doctor, I shall want your cooperation.” “I shall be delighted.” “You don’t mind breaking the law?” “Not in the least.” (Scandal in Bohemia) => “I am absolutely not empowered to break the laws of the land, so I try not to get caught at it.”

Has a brother seven years his senior, whom we meet (several adventures in) at a gentlemen’s club in Pall Mall, and who looks like him but bigger: “Mycroft Holmes was a much larger and stouter man than Sherlock.” (Greek Interpreter) => “He looked like someone had drawn a caricature of Kim as John Bull and not been kind about it. He was significantly bulkier…”

The club (The Diogenes => The Symposium) has a Strangers' Room, and in at least part of the club: "no talking is, under any circumstances, allowed" (Greek Interpreter) => "speech is strictly forbidden" (Subtle Blood)

Chases down the leader of a mysterious criminal organization who appears respectable in normal society, and who stays one step removed to leave no evidence of his involvement: “But the Professor was fenced round with safeguards so cunningly devised that, do what I would, it seemed impossible to get evidence which would convict in a court of law.” (Final Problem) => “[Arrest him] on what grounds? I’ve got a lot of nothing. Straws in the wind, and fears, and the words of the dead. The case needs to be iron-clad, and mine is wet tissue paper.” (Sugared Game)

Has a chat with this adversary before the action kicks off: “…I was seriously inconvenienced by you” (Final Problem) => “It has caused me enormous inconvenience” (Sugared Game)

Better at hand-to-hand combat than he looks like he should be: “I have some knowledge, however, of baritsu, or the Japanese system of wrestling…” (Empty House) => “Where did you learn knife fighting?” (Slippery Creatures)

Lounges around in a purple dressing gown (Blue Carbuncle; all three Will Darling books)

Tall, slender, pale, and dark-haired, with remarkable eyes (at least, the POV character sure remarks on them a lot)

Other parallels:

Inspector Lestrade (“lean and ferret-like as ever”) => Inspector Rennick (“He was a short, shrewd-looking man who sounded North London.”)

An aortic aneurism renders prosecution of a criminal moot: Jefferson Hope (Study in Scarlet) => Lord Waring (Sugared Game)

Will’s expectations upon meeting Waring line up with a description of Moriarty: “His face protrudes forward, and is forever slowly oscillating from side to side in a curiously reptilian fashion” (Final Problem) => “[Will] wasn’t sure what he expected. Something snakey, some reptilian air of cruelty…” (Sugared Game)

This rather iconic phrase: “He sits motionless, like a spider at the center of its web...” (Final Problem) => “…sits like a spider at the centre of a web of obligations...” (Sugared Game)

Alongside the parallels, Charles adds elements often found in the best works of fanfiction: in addition to the on-page romance, there's expansion of the characters' backgrounds, including an exploration of class and privilege, plus a fix-it-esque resolution of the issue of Holmes'/Kim’s dishonesty (I for one always wished Watson would confront Holmes about lying to him for cases).

There. Cataloguing all the parallels was taking up a ridiculous amount of space in my brain, so now you know & I can stop obsessing over it so much.

Replying "publicly", in case someone else is interested too! @mokolat

And I am more than happy to share my book recs!

Concerning historical M/M, anything by KJ Charles is good, but I recently enjoyed these: Band Sinister Slippery Creatures Both Doomsday books Cat Sebastian is also always reliable: The Queer Principles of Kit Webb We Could Be So Good All of the Seducing the Sedgwicks series

Also some other authors: A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske (this has magic in the mix) The Scottish Boy by Alex de Campi

All these books contain adult themes or straight up smut. They also have some period typical homophobia, but it is never particularly heavy and I can't remember any slurs being flung around, with the exception of "The Scottish Boy". It is heaviest of the bunch and I wouldn't categorize it as a romance book, but it is SO GOOD.

Also, none of these authors believe in Bury Your Gays or some such, so happy endings for all!

Let me know if you want or need some other recs!
