chapter 3 of my kotlc fedex fic and there would be peace in the garden of eden is up! it only took a couple of months but we got there in the end, and it's ~10k words! (essentially the fic is a retelling of the vackers’ grief struggle from exile, if dex happened to knock on everglen’s pearly gates one day and got punched in the face.)

we've got a pretty good balance of fluff and angst in this one (bit of a "calm before the storm" moment) and a lot of focus on the supporting characters! if any of what i’ve said sounds appealing please check it out!! summary below the cut ❤️

chapter 4 of trapped in my foolishness is up! 6k words covering heeseung and jake’s travel to crostebe, the second region, and their preparations to climb the mountain and grab the moonlace they need!

the fic is a somewhat angsty but mostly light heejake reimagining of the thai bl “cupid’s last wish” (2022)!

essentially, jake hates heeseung for pretending to be his friend since childhood all in order to snag a cool million in his father’s will. a few years later, a terrible car accident that results in jake’s younger brother jungwon paralyzed and the sudden appearance of a weirdo shaman named riki, forces heeseung and jake to reunite and go on a trip around the country to gather mysterious herbs, which riki promises he can mix into a potion that will heal jungwon.

if this sounds interesting, please check it out! summary of the new chapter under the cut ❤️

THIS IS HAPPENING?????????????

the thing is i KNOW i’m like months behind and everyone already knew about ts way back in september, but for some reason i was getting back into danganronpa randomly like everyone does and suddenly i uncovered this magical gem

it’s coming out this year so if you haven’t gotten into it yet bro i HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you watch a playthrough of every single game released!!! you’ve gotta be a part of the community for this one!!!

chapter 2 of and there would be peace in the garden of eden is up! it's a 10k word treat for my fedex truthers everywhere! (essentially the fic is a retelling of the vackers’ grief struggle from exile, if dex happened to knock on everglen’s pearly gates one day and got punched in the face..)

it’s kind of emotionally heavy and unfortunately my love dex does go through it in this chapter, but if any of what i’ve said sounds appealing please check it out!! summary below the cut ❤️

yes i know timf is not finished (subtle plug) and NO i have NOT abandoned it. still working out the semantics of the next chapter unfortunately... but i wanted to feel connected back to publishing on ao3!

it's a canon divergent fedex fic set in exile! basically dex gets worried about sophie's mental state with all the worrying over the vackers hating her and visits everglen to try and get some answers -> but somehow ends up in a strange, delicate, grief-based relationship with fitz vacker. i'm foreseeing it to be kind of long, and it's a little heavy emotionally BUT if any of this appeals to you please check it out!!

and there would be peace in the garden of eden (7696 words) by antispotlight

official summary:

Fitz and Biana have been absent from school since the year started, and Sophie hasn't quite been herself. It bothers Dex enough to visit Everglen and see what's really going on, see if maybe there's something, anything he can do to cheer her up. Even if it means putting up with Fitz “Wonderboy” Vacker — even if it means sticking around after he literally gets punched in the face — even if it means coming to Everglen for hours after school every day to hang out with… Wait, who's he doing this for again?

reading stats for 2025! according to my ao3 history i read 381 fics this year (and that’s only when i was signed in.......) so unfortunately i only had the time and balls to analyze my 60 bookmarked fics this year. so here we go! (thanks again to @electroniccollectiondonut!)

— top 3 fandoms —

boynextdoor (22) -> 36.67% of all the fics i bookmarked this year!

enhypen (19)

gen (7)

— other interesting data —

i had 2 100k+ word fics bookmarked and on top of that, a 500k+ word fic!

the 60 bookmarks were split between 26 multi-chapter fics and 34 oneshots, so pretty even.

i had only 2 crossover fics and 2 polyamorous relationships.

i had 0 not-rated fics bookmarked

and i only had one non-kpop fandom bookmarked and that was genshin impact!

the stats analysis of this all is such a vibe but it feels so not reflective of my year...... if i dare i might just undertake the 381 fic analysis.... and if i do y’all will be the first to year about it!
