Ultimate Fenris (Fen)

hello i'm back to hold you at gun point and tell you to read ovenglovee's work.

she's among my favourite authors in any fandom for a reason, and that's because her writing and character analysis is absolutely breathtaking. she weaves metaphors into the narrative perfectly (more on that later) and gives them room to stretch out and get comfortable in a way that i aspire to achieve. an absolute master at her craft, and a genuine delight, even when her fics make me cry so hard i get headaches sometimes.

bloodhound [E] [Rumira] [Ongoing]

Mira and Rumi are pretty torn up after the Idol Awards. They have sex about it. It’s about as messy as you'd imagine.

i'm actually unwell about this fic. it's an incredible character study on Mira and her animal need to be useful. i've never seen this backstory for her before but it makes perfect sense, and it's so cleverly linked to how she behaves around Rumi.

their relationship is extremely messy and complicated but it's perfectly characterised and i'm so sympathetic to both of them. they're both so hurt and unfamiliar with being loved

this may, at its core, be about Mira, but Rumi is incredible in this fic too. she's that perfect mix of very confident and just a little bit pathetic.

so many lines from this one are looping in my head constantly.

after the tone [T] [Rumira] [Complete]

You have 64 voicemails from: Mira. Press 1 to play.

god i can barely speak on this one. it's main character death, and it is devastating, so be warned.

it's told in the form of voicemails left by Mira before and after Rumi died and there's so much emotion and information across in just dialogue and descriptions of sounds.

it took me ages to read this because i knew MCD written by ovenglovee would take me out with it and i wasn't wrong at all but if you have the stomach for it, bring some tissues.

faultlines [T] [Polytrix] [Complete]

faultline (noun) a line on a rock surface or the ground that traces a geological fault. an area of a system that seems weak and likely to cause problems or failure. a divisive issue or difference of opinion that is likely to have serious consequences.

hoooooly shit, faultlines. this one also made me sob so be warned again.

did you watch the movie and think the fact that all those people on the train dying wasn't addressed sufficiently? look no further. this is the fic for looking into the impact of that on Rumi in particular.

when i think about ovenglovee's mastery over extended metaphors, this is the fic i think of. the concept of one small thing causing absolute devastation is woven tightly into the story throughout and it's perfect. i'm still stunned by how incredible it is.

if found, please return to [M] [Polytrix] [Complete]

A soft Rumi character study featuring cows, colours and collars.

this and its E-rated sequel, damaged goods, handle with care, is probably the fic you recognise the author for, and it's an incredible character study on Rumi and her need for rules, punishment, and praise.

despite the rating this isn't actually a very smutty fic. there's a lot of focus on non-sexual kink, and it's the first time i've seen that explored in a fic. it rearranged my brain chemistry on how kink can be used as a character study and i've never been the same since.

also, she loves cows. this isn't related to the kink she just thinks they're neat. moomi is real.

on every shore, in every life [T] [Rumira] [Complete]

Mira, Rumi and the ocean over the years.

another excellent character study of both Mira and Rumi. i'm trying not to repeat myself too much but once again, perfect metaphors. this feels like it's as much a love letter to the ocean as it is to Rumira and I mean that in the best way possible.

its sequel, sea glass, is also incredible. i love it when people give Mira a weird relationship with her brother and this is exactly that, plus a delve into Mira and Celine's relationship and their similarities.

extremely soft and sweet, even with a difficult subject matter. i don't know how ovenglovee does it.

In which Rumi learns to love and be loved.

this and its sequel sunkissed are another set of absolutely incredible Rumi character studies done through extended metaphors and beautiful prose. the imagery of rot and how Rumi feels it applies to her is, once again, masterful and devastating.

and, of course, all that hurt is met with equally soft comfort. Mira and Zoey love Rumi so much and it's so clear in this fic.

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

If you wanna draw on her back go nuts! But you HAVE to show me!!!

Isn’t this woman just gorgeous 🥰🛐
