The Chambers Of Rot

im back i guess

Hii twin!!! I’m glad you asked :] I adore 2Doc fics lol ever since last summer I dedicated a ridiculous amount of time for them.. here’s some of my favs, all on AO3:

-“The devil and Stuart pot” by Witty-fool, my favourite long form 2Doc fic of all time. Absolutely nails their dynamic, and the second fic ever to make me audibly laugh from its sillier moments. Though it gets darker in many instances. Takes place after phase 6. It deals with Murdoc’s mental health struggles after he finally decides to start a treatment process, and his romantic relationship with 2D that develops alongside it. It’s NOT a slow burn (yay!) It captures the struggles of mental illness and relapses so accurately and humanises it too. I don’t see many medias that humanise that kind of specific experience that is portrayed in there enough. That just shows it as, well, life. Honestly it’s my comfort fic. Currently there’s an epilogue being written, but the base fic is complete. I can’t do it justice by my description alone tbh, go read it for yourself :D

-“Can’t get back without you” by Superfast_jellybitch, a pretty sweet short multi chapter fic that shows 2D and Murdoc on the beginning of phase 4 coming to terms of how screwed their relationship is. Though it does start sour, things develop between the two throughout the fic. I read it all in one sitting and I remember enjoying it.

-“Ephemeral Euphoria” by Anonymous, an adorable one shot that is based on a specific canon twitter interaction between 2D and Murdoc post the “Momentary bliss” mv. It’s delectable I always enjoy revisiting it.

Overall, those are picks I really like! I hope you enjoy any of them lol

I think about it often while I draw them or listen to certain songs on my 2Doc playlist.

Menthol cigarettes would forever be associated for me with 2D (and Murdoc’s whining)

Though, I love your other 2Doc fics too :D

And your (fairly tragic but realistic) Murdad.
