Title: The Cala Lillies of Winchester

Summary: Love stories don’t exist in a bubble, floating high and away from reality, able to grow and mature without the outside world’s influences. It’s simply naive. The strongest, the purest of true love stories survive the worst and thrive in life’s bullshit. Dean Winchester learned the hard way. He would never have guessed the awkward blue-eyed stranger on a bus would brighten his darkest days and define his happily ever after. Battling through his own terrifying diagnosis and his brother Sam’s demons, Dean might drown under the pummeling waves of his harsh reality. Instead he uncovers the strength to break the surface and inhale with a solid hand in his, always.

The light at the end of the tunnel is worth the fight to be reborn.

MUST READ DESTIEL FIC!!

This is such an amazing story!

Castiel instantly connects with Dean who falls asleep on him while on the bus and Cas being Cas decided to take him home and keep him. Doesn’t take long for Dean to agree.

It’s an amazing, challenging love story from there that encompasses family, children, health and home, and the challenges of in-laws for their personal and religious views. It’s beautiful and terrifying, and worth the tears.

Narnia Fic Recs-After the Return

I’m starting a short fic rec series to spread some love for Narnia authors, they aren’t in any sort of order other than the really long ones are on the bottom.

A lot of these stories are on ff.net which I know is a pain of a site to use, however, I sorted through a lot of Narnia fics to find these and I think they deserve some love. I did check if anything was on ao3 and put that link instead if I could find it. Please give these authors some love, kudos, favorites, comments, etc. They’re all great and it’s always fun to find older fics!

If y’all have any fic recs you can send them my way, or if you know if any of these authors are on tumblr let me know. I’ll be releasing more rec lists sorted roughly by era so look out for those under #lillys fic recs

Children Do Grow Up by Francienyc

Rated K+, 3k words

This one is short and sweet, based on the Pevensie’s mom and a friend reflecting on how different the siblings are. 

Disarmed by Aebhel

Rated K+, 1k words

The classic outsider POV witnessing Edmund’s unusual sword skills (and Peter’s too).

Seriously by ValkyrieVeela

Rated K, 2k words

Another fic with Peter and Edmund showing off their sword skills to confused peers/teachers. 

Homecoming by Crimson White

Rated K, 1.5k words

Outsider POV of Helen Pevensie reconnecting with Edmund right when they get home, very cute. 

A Good Day by Masterarcher

Rated K, 4k words

Another fic showing how unique the Pevensies are, this time at a Ren Faire, a bit of showing off with archery and sword fighting, fairly lighthearted. 

Slip Ups by Aytheria

Rated K+, 22.5k words

The Pevensies make mistakes where they show their true selves/skills a bit too much and people notice of course. Most of the chapters are focused on a single sibling before combining them. A lot is set at school and it’s great.

once a king or queen of narnia, always a king or queen by drigewithoutmusic (@ink-splotch)

Rated G, 12k words, 7 works

A lot of introspection about the Pevensies after leaving Narnia, largely focused on Susan. 

National Service by @burntcopper

Not really rated overall, but I’d say T-M, 63.5k words, 7 works

An interesting series really diving into how people see the Pevensies, specifically in a war context as Peter and Edmund join up with the military. More of a otherworldly vibe to the Pevensies as people don’t understand how a couple of kids can be so brutal, charasmatic, and efficient. Little bit of shipping of Edmund in the last works, but not really the focus. The last major story so far is a crossover with Torchwood which is super fun and really brings Susan and Lucy to the forefront. 

Stone Gryphon by @rthstewart

Rated G-T, 604.5k words, 17 works (Don’t let the size freak you out, the stories need to be read mostly in order but each plot wraps up in the individual work)

This one has really fun characterization and world building. It’s set after the Pevensies come back the second time, and while it’s set in England, there are lots of flash backs and descriptions of the Golden Age. The world building is unique in the characterization of talking animals and the focus on how the talking animals are similar to actual animals while still being thinking beings. The siblings are split up, Peter makes friends with the professor’s friends and is preparing for college, while Susan starts helping with the war effort. She keeps Edmund abreast of the war through a Narnian code, similar to how they worked as joint spy masters in Narnia. 

Be aware there is some shipping of the Pevensies with OC’s especially as you get further and acknowledgement of them as adults because they were adults in Narnia. I’m not sure if I actually finished it, but I still think about it frequently because of how intriguing the world building is and how interesting it is to see Susan and Edmund helping with a human war. Definitely worth checking out.

you unknowingly bring out a side of bucky he never knew was there.

*Come Home. by @sinner-as-saint

Bucky comes home to find you and your son asleep in your bed and his heart damn near explodes with how much he loves his family. And after putting your baby to sleep, Bucky proceeds to show you just how grateful he is to have you and how much he loves you... 

That I What? by @itsthewritergal

I Am Your Fall by @sinner-as-saint

You’re hiding from your past, in Madripoor. You did nothing wrong, other than mix dangerous business with a lot of pleasure. You couldn’t go home because... he would find you and Madripoor was the only place he didn’t do business, or had any allies or friends. But little did you know that the mob boss had finally found you after obsessively looking for you ever since you left, and left him in pieces. He didn’t want revenge, he just wanted the one thing he had hopelessly fallen in love with; who also happened to be the one who had betrayed him and hurt him more than anyone or any bullet ever did before - you.

*Run To You by @bestofbucky

Mob boss Bucky Barnes hires you to be his bodyguard.

The Light We Lost by @world-of-aus

James Buchanan Barnes had been it for you, and you wanted to believe that what the two of you had, was you making it. You wanted to be the other side of the statistics that actually made it, but your marriage wasn’t meant for this life. You fought hard to make your way back to him, to get him to see you, but life had a funny way of kicking you down when you were already down.

*wrong choice, right places by @mvtthewmurdvck

The Maid of Mr. Barnes by @disasterofastory

oh, i love you so much (it scares me half to death) by supposedtobwriting - ngl i love this author just read all their fics they're amazing, but this one in particular, written for the malevolent bang, is about jarthur as private eyes in separate bodies as the world around them starts to mysteriously fall apart

asunder by redcore - this isn't a classic at all lmao this is just self-promo, read this if you want short, sweet, extremely visceral angst

some i haven't read but would argue are fandom classics

whiskey old fashioned sour by bluejayblueskies

formaldehyde (or, the case of the missing lilly) by supposedtobewriting

Narnia Fic Recs - Golden Age

I’m starting a short fic rec series to spread some love for Narnia authors, they aren’t in any sort of order other than the really long ones are on the bottom.

A lot of these stories are on ff.net which I know is a pain of a site to use, however, I sorted through a lot of Narnia fics to find these and I think they deserve some love. I did check if anything was on ao3 and put that link instead if I could find it. Please give these authors some love, kudos, favorites, comments, etc. They’re all great and it’s always fun to find older fics!

If y’all have any fic recs you can send them my way, or if you know if any of these authors are on tumblr let me know. I’ll be releasing more rec lists sorted roughly by era so look out for those under #lillys fic recs

The Silver Crown by todreaminscarlet

Rated Gen, 1.5k words

A conversation between Edmund and Susan late at night after their coronation.

A Very Taxing Christmas Eve by acacia59601

Rated K+, 2.5k words

One of my favorite fics, Peter is just trying to figure out things like Taxes for Narnia on Christmas Eve and he ends up having a good talk with Father Christmas.

In Dangerous Places by ilysia

Rated K+, 6k words

Edmund gets captured but they don’t know who he is, so he’s trying to get out without them figuring out exactly who they have.

The Dream Dasher by Thalion King’s Daughter

Rating K+, 21.5k words

Okay so this is definitely crack, it’s basically a Mary Sue trying to win Peter’s heart despite the very clear signals that he’s not interested. Based on a document Edmund makes in Elecktrum’s They Also Serve that forbids anyone who marries one of the four from actually gaining a title or right to the throne. She has good character growth though and by the end she’s not an annoying mary sue.

Neville the Chamberlin by Elecktrum

Rated Gen, 10k words

A fun, silly fic focusing on Neville, a new Hyena member of the court of Cair Paravel trying to find a place for himself. It’s written in letter form and shows the siblings from an outside perspective as they try to find a temporary chamberlain and fail, a lot. Part of the series by Elecktrum but can be read alone.

Only Children by Thalion King’s Daughter

Rating K, 74k words

I’m normally very wary of OC centered fics, but this one is great. Set in Elecktrum’s world from series Sword and Shield, Jewel and Song, Peridan (from A Horse and His Boy) comes to Narnia with his family, including his sons Jaer and Jaerin. They are similar ages to Edmund and Lucy and show an interesting perspective on the Narnian court and the beginning of the Golden Age. All the characters are very 3D and fun to read about. It’s technically not finished, but doesn’t end on a cliff hanger and since it feels a bit more ‘a day in the life’ it’s not too bad.

Kingdoms Come by Adalet

Rated K+, 132k words

I haven’t read this one in a while, but it’s another good Pevensies sorting out Narnia, fixing the mess the White Witch left, calling back all the people fled 100 years ago, and generally figuring out how to be Kings and Queens.

Carpetbaggers by cofax

Rated Gen, 119k words

Starting right after the coronation festivities, the siblings have to figure out how to help Narnia and how to find their place in this new world. As they travel around Narnia they meet lots of different groups and dealing with some of the witches army. The side characters are great, and the magical connection that the siblings form with the land is also wonderful. Lots of just hard work to build the kingdom in a very satisfying way.

Black Dwarves, Blue River by Elecktrum

Rated Gen, 53.5k words

In the first year of their reign, Edmund goes to visit a very stubborn clan of black dwarves. It has great side characters, great worldbuilding for Narnian customs and culture, and Edmund being sassy and stubborn in return while really settling into being King. The other Pevensies feature a bit but it’s really about Edmund. Also has some fun blacksmithing info if you’re curious about that kind of thing. Part of the series by Elecktrum but can be read alone.

Sword and Shield, Jewel and Song by @elecktrum

Rated G-T, 26 Works

Okay so this series is really great for world building, the basic premise is just that the golden age longer than a lot of people think, a couple decades instead of 15 years. Most fics are still set early in the Golden Age (a few are set in the other eras or after), as the siblings are figuring out how to lead and also rebuild from the destruction of the witch. Most of the fics can be read as stand alones, are less than 10k, and don’t even have to be read in order.

A few should be read in order like: Into the West, which is one of the novel length fics with a companion called They Also Serve where Peter journey’s west to undo the Witches’ magic attacking Edmund, lots of adventure and angst between the two. Black Dwarves, Blue River now has a companion sequel called Belana, both are about Edmund trying to gain the good will of a dwarven clan and getting to know Narnia. Thole is another novel length fic about the giants invading and capturing Peter which has a kind of epilouge/transition sequel A Blessing of Rain. The whole series has amazing world building, great characterization, and wonderfully complex side characters. I really enjoy how the series dives into the interactions between creatures and humans, while also acknowledging the magic of Narnia.

Shipping Fics - I generally don’t really read shipping fics for Narnia, but these ones were fun. I’m currently finding new fics, so I might make a separate list for shipping fics eventually.

To Seek a Newer World by Francienyc

Rated T, 133.5k words

A Peridan/Edmund fic that has some really interesting world building for the Lone Islands and the start of Narnia’s reign. I really like Peridan in this, he’s very interesting. There is blatant external homophobia though so be aware of that, as well as a lot of fear from Peridan. Lots of pining and a solid slowburn between them. It does cover the events of Horse and His Boy, but from the Narnian side, obviously.

A Tenuous Alliance by platinum_firebird

Rated T, 8.5k words

AU where the Telmarines have a strong empire during the Golden Age and Caspian gets an arranged marriage with Edmund. Overall cute and fun to see the siblings and Caspian trying to figure each other out.

💥 Pokémon Gameverse Fanfic Recs 2023 💥

Hello! 🥺✨️ I'm pretty new in loving the amazing Pokémon trainers that the official games created, so I thought I'd compile all of my favorite fanfics of them that I've read last year. Here are some notes to read before you start scrolling:
