being in obscure fandoms that have been largely dead be like *three fics for a main ship* *two fics for a ship you cannot even fathom happening* *crackfic from 2015 that includes some sort of not typical drug use* *everything is unfinished* *two fics that are actually good* and thats it. u scroll through one page and ur two years back.

Ficlet Fest 3: Return of the Ficlets

Hey y'all!

It's that special time again - I hit another 100 followers, so it's time for a ficlet fest because you guys rock! Y'all send me prompts and I'll write you a ficlet (up to 1000 words). My last two ficlet fests are on AO3 here and here, and scattered around my tumblr if you're really desperate 😂

Anyway if you want a ficlet the prompt is simple - we're going back to timestamps bc I think they're neat!

Drop into my askbox and leave: - a timestamp (ex: 3:46pm or 18:21) - a location (ex: haus kitchen, the linden tree, New Hope, The Spotted Custard...) - a character (ex: Lardo, Bea Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor, Keladry of Mindelan, Alexia Tarabotti...) ((more characters may appear at my own whim but not guaranteed))

I'll do my best to fulfill whatever prompt you leave, but just know that I'm most familiar with Check Please!, RWRB, The Parasol Protectorate, and the Tortall series.

Prompts will be open the entire month of July 2023 so you'll have plenty of time :D

Can't wait to see what y'all send in this time around!

-💜🦗

I recently started re-reading the finishing school books because I cleaned my room and finally found my copy of Etiquette and Espionage. Bean is having lots of fun chewing on the cover and pouncing on the pages whenever I try to turn them!

#parasolverse #parasol protectorate #etiquette and espionage #I forgot why I loved these books so much. they’re just incredibly well-written and so fun to read #I’ve practically read them a million times each but they never get old

I understand the appeal of erotica in werewolf novels, okay? We’re all monsterfuckers here. But I am asexual and sometimes want my werewolves without the smut.

The Parasol Protectorate and Finishing School series by Gail Carriger are really good, I think they have some of the most interesting takes on transformation and pack dynamics. But I finished the first, am almost finished with the second, and my local library doesn’t have much of the other related series.

So does anyone have recommendations for other werewolf books that aren’t just smut or weird, straight omegaverse?

My blorbos are immortal supernatural beings living in London.

They are a canon gay couple, but their love story was left unresolved in the original.

Years later, the author wrote a follow-up focused on their romance that feels exactly like fanfic.

Oh, did you think this post was about Good Omens? Sorry, it’s actually about these guys:

feel like pure shit i just want her back (conall affirming alexia’s self worth and beauty in face of her family who have made her feel inferior)

Alexia Tarabotti is a spinster in her mid-twenties, mostly content to spend her time at home, in libraries, or with her friend Ivy who has unfortunate taste in hats. She’s also soulless, a preternatural whose touch can temporarily revert any supernatural persons to their formerly mortal state.

Alexia and the London werewolf Alpha, Conall, have chemistry built on mutual annoyance. He enjoys someone who will surprise and stand up to him (a limited commodity when one is the Alpha of a pack of werewolves), and she seems surprised when annoying him for fun turns into something more. Professor Lyall is his Beta, a competent and unassuming older werewolf who is a quiet, steady presence. Ivy, Alexia’s hat-obsessed friend, is one of my favorite characters but this isn’t yet the book where she shines. Lord Akeldama is a flamboyant and well-informed vampire who is utterly delightful.

sometimes a family is a bubbly lady who was raised by an eccentric gay vampire, her french engineer lover, a practical minded lesbian, a werelioness with an affinity for tassels, an academic redhead who gets pegged, and a female doctor with an assassin mother.  plus the bubbly lady's cousin who tried to kill her and his trans woman interpreter/spy wife

I need urban fantasy and paranormal romance book recs!!

I'm on the last book of the Agent of Hel series and I need to figure out what to read next! What are some of your favorite urban fantasy or paranormal romance books?

I'd prefer a finished series and I really don't want to read anything that contains sexual assault or a major character death. Other than that I'm pretty open!

I'm going to tag this with some books/series and authors I like. Feel free to reply to this or reblog with your suggestions!

Thank you!!
