A podfic of akaiiko's "don't call me baby (unless you mean it)" aka the best fic to have ever blessed my eyes. Ever.

Original story summary:

Getting with Shiro is worth anything. Anything. So Keith is going to fake being the cliche with daddy issues - complete with stuffed animals, booty shorts, and an utter loss of dignity - until he makes it. Hopefully along the way he'll figure out why it feels like being Shiro's baby boy might just be the best thing that’s ever happened to him.

Keith has a moment where he wonders, somewhat blankly, how he bought this perfectly serviceable shirt and then promptly forgot its existence. Then he looks down. And remembers in a series of post traumatic flashbacks exactly why he’d blocked the shirt from his consciousness.

Namely, three words, in a font that isn’t comic sans but comes insultingly close to it, garnished with red glitter: Daddy’s Little Boy.

“Keith?” Very slowly, he turns to look at the closed door to his bedroom. “Keith, are you okay? I heard…” Probably some kind of vaguely strangled noise. But Shiro’s too nice to articulate that kind of thing. “Keith? If you don’t answer, I’m coming in.”

This is the first installment of several rec posts I’m planning to make in conjunction with the new year and with @sheithfictioncatalogue’s reclist/follower celebration! I keep a spreadsheet of fic I read in a year, and I read over 500 last year alone (I read fast, and I have a commute). So, when I went through and looked even for just the fics I’d marked for myself with 5 stars, there were… a lot of them.

I’ve tried to select ones that might be somewhat less widely known, though there are a few classics mixed in. Please note these are based on my taste alone, and thus ymmv! Hopefully you’ll find something new and enjoyable here!

Shiroflashed him a grin and whistled anear-splitting note. The eyes painted on the prow of the Paperwing flashedyellow and looked pleased at his audacious bravery. Keith gripped the sidesof the fuselage for dear life. As Shiro unspooled a litany of Charter marksthat Keith would never have dared to attempt, the Paperwing sped up, pointedits nose at the sky, and stalled out.

For a momentthey hung suspended in the air, motionless, all their momentum swallowed by thestall. Then they fell. The Paperwing twisted slowly on its axis like a leaf inthe wind as it plummeted toward the waves. Keith kept his butt in the seat by clingingto it with both hands and both legs, but his hair whipped upwards and his heart wasin his throat.

The Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Pick out the title that most intrigues you, or interests you and I’ll post a little snippet of it or tell you something about it!!

Tagged by @akaiikowrites and HOLY SHIT, friend! You have a lot of WIPs! The last time my WIP folder looked like that I had to take a shot of whiskey, bite on a block of wood, and delete everything because it was giving me anxiety. (This worked wonders for my mental health at the time but I do not advise it for obvious reasons.)

The only actual WIPs I currently have are labeled “Legendary Defenders of the Old Kingdom” and “A Generation Lost in Space” (both Voltron).

Also teeeeechnically in my WIP folder are “Surface Tension” (Supernatural) and “The Next Galahad” (Kingsman). But I should probably, after over three years, finally accept that these are not WIPs and are in fact dead fics.
