sharp mind (kind heart) by varnes (2gether The Series)
“I can see your mouth forming the letters of my name,” Sarawat sang, and the crowd cheered, dobs of light from cellphones flickering on around the stadium. In his weaker moments, he wondered sometimes: is he here? Did he come? It wasn’t impossible. They were a famous band. They toured a lot. He could be at this show, or next week’s, or any of the innumerable shows they’d done before. Sarawat would have no way of knowing. The Stranger was gone and Sarawat had no earthly way of finding or identifying him. - Or: Two boys meet at a Scrubb concert. They don't exchange names or numbers. One of them goes on to write, like, four best-selling albums about it, and the other one doesn't know because he only listens to one band. Anyway, they fall in love.
It's BL time!!!! this fic incorporates social media in a way that makes so much sense since they're talking about celebrities! It was so much fun and I loved that the author could use actual photos of the actors for the purpose of the plot. Plus, I love 2gether so much, so a very good fic all around.
9-Recommend a fic from a book fandom.
Heartlines by nekojita (All For The Game)
The Fae king and queens have gone away, closing the knowes behind them and abandoning their offspring to the mortal world. As the Fae have spread far and wide, their bloodlines thinning if not vanishing forever as they flee from mortal persecution... two Fae have found a way to reopen the knowes - Kayleigh Day and Tetsuji Moriyama. The Fae regroup once more, the balance of power shifted amongst them, and 'changelings' appear now and then in the mortal population.
This is my favorite aftg fic, the worlbuilding is amazing!!! (It was based a little on an urban fantasy book, so this is book²) It was such an interesting of seeing the original characters, and the push and pull between andreil is so good.
13-Recommend a fic you've re-read multiple times.
These Violent Delights by pasiphile (BBC Sherlock)
Sebastian Moran is a rebel without a cause (literally - pro patria mori is a pile of shite). Jim Moriarty is an evil genius in need of a right hand (not literally - he’s already got one of those in the freezer). It's a relationship meant to be. AKA The Life And Times of Sebastian Moran, Bastard Extraordinaire. Spanning seven years and three continents, containing 496 uses of the word "fuck", multiple murders, several criminal acts, a couple of explosions, a large amount of violence and sex (often combined), an utter disregard of rules and morals, and somewhere in the middle of this something that almost looks like a happy and loving relationship.
Ok don't judge me, but this fic blew my mind back in the day. I don't know how I got to it since I didn't read Sherlock fics, but getting to know this imagined Moran was really entretaining.
fic rec ask game!
