I MISS MY DADDY

“Slow build is my kink”, aka the fic rec nobody asked for.  This features impressions more than anything, as I don’t trust myself to adequately describe these pieces without falling into passionate praise anyway. This is a list of absolute favourites, fics to read and re-read and be buried with.

Mail Order Spy by 35grams AU… Many AUs. Masterpiece. Never read anything like it, this captivating. It’s miles above, it’s beyond a lot of things. It’s genius.

Listing by 35grams Canonverse. It never weakens, never gives you time to rest nor be comforted. Sets the most beautiful ache deep into your very bones. Leaves you quite not the same.

Dresden by hedera_helix (ongoing) WWII AU. It reads real, raw and harsh and everything that’s underlyind is only stronger for it. Powerful writing, beautiful development, a gem.

Irascible by bigasstrees and rivai-lution Amazing True Detective AU. Violent and dark and really it feels just like watching the series; the amount of work it must have taken is incredible. Ended up missing the Louisiana accent when I was done. Powerful and just overall well-done. It takes time to get down from the high this fic gives.

Salt by rivai-lution Merman AU. A tale of traumas and hopes. A very fragile thing.

Living Things by IohannaFacTotum and merkase (ongoing) Zombie AU featuring pretty much the whole cast. The worldbuilding is amazing, story both dark and hilarious. Also, zombies.

Wild-Type by merkase (ongoing) More of their lovely, delightful writing. You didn’t know you needed a dragon fic, until. Some shorter pieces to consider if you are looking to effectively break down in fewer words: Inkblot by dykejonze every me, every you by dykejonze dying, Egypt by JadeLupine And lastly some more recently started, very promising things to keep an eye on: the rat catcher by birbwin cum laude by birbwin Cardamom by LostCauses O₂ by merkase Devil’s Backbone by danchouchan

ahah snk world? never heard of it. What is pain and angst.

Erwin and Levi live happily together somewhere out of the city (because yes) and sometimes Hanji stays over at their house. She is so discreet. And Moblit is there too of course.
