I have a few favorites! I will be breaking my own "maximum of 5 people per ask" rule here, I hope you will all forgive me--I picked 5 fics only to realize two of them had co-authors.

I am not immune to Watcher!Grian or creatures. There was a time I had read almost all of the Watcher!Grian fic in the tag a few years ago and this one stood out to me as one of the best. It hits a trope I am a huge fan of and, while I am not entirely caught up anymore due to business in life, I enjoyed every chapter while I was following it. If you want a very unique take on Watcher!Grian, this is a good one.

dog at the door by @fluffy-papaya + @betweenlands !

I do not often reread fics, but this one I have read multiple times. I really enjoy this characterization and abilities of the Red King (a character I love dearly) and the setting / set up of this fic is really unique. The writing here is really solid!

L'Appel du Vide by @pixelfun20 !

If you like Third Life desert duo angst (something I enjoy greatly), this is a fun one. I remember really enjoying Grian's mindset after winning Third Life in this one, as well as the writing style being really engaging.

Team Mortal by @yoeyrt + @maybeanss !

This one is just a really fun series. Etho, Grian. Mumbo, Scar, and Bdubs is a fantastic team and I love ghost hunting. Very funny. I need to read more Etho fic.

evighted by @pixelperfunctory !

I read this so long ago I hardly remember any details, but it still came to mind when asking about favorite fics. It was a very interesting read and a really strange, surreal premise and world, which I adored. I still think about it from time to time.

Thank you for the ask! I love an excuse to highlight fic.

So, I’m sure you know how few people actually know what OT is, I’m in my grad courses and well used to it. And I log on tumblr and somehow, somehow, I notice that you’re an OT.

And I’m like- wait what hold on no. Because how is one of my fav snake blogs (because, you see, I TOO have a snake) an OT, when I can’t find ANYONE knowing ANYTHING about us on social platforms?

I’m Absolutely stunned and baffled and just, what are the ODDS.

AAAA HELLO. yes i am an OT! currently in outpatient pediatrics & trying to fumble my way through figuring out how to get my CHT which is why i’ve been scarce here. 🥲 but i too get super excited when i encounter another OT online like!!!! YOU!!! you get it!!!!! same hat. solidarity. the whole bag

here’s a snake for u

OOOO sure!!!! 

Kirishima is a hair-fiddler. He can’t stop messing with it. When he is deep in concentration, he doesn’t even realize he’s doing it. Sometimes, it ends up looking even wilder than usual. He’s also a chronic lip-gnawer. He falls asleep when studying sometimes, so to try and keep himself awake and alert, he listens to music through his irreversibly tangled earbuds, or works a small dumbbell in his left hand.

He is poorly organized, but not nearly as bad as Kaminari. At any given time, he tries to have a pencil, an eraser, a pen, and a highlighter on his desk. Oftentimes though, he only has one or two of these on hand. If he is using a pencil, then eraser shavings end up completely littering his desk. His handwriting is abysmal, a total loss, especially when he’s under pressure trying to catch up with what his teachers or his tutor cough Bakugou is saying.

He also tries to begin each part of the school year with a very small planner, so he can write homework assignments as well as big test days and other important dates – and he tries writing nice and color-coding too if he has time. But after a week or so, the colors end up being replaced by pencil or pen or whatever writing utensil he has on hand, and it only takes a month before he’s abandoned it altogether. Pretty soon it’s the next semester, he blows the dust away from his planner and the cobwebs off of his half-lost packet of colored pens… rinse and repeat.

He does a similar thing with organizing his notes and class assignments. At the start of the semester he tries to keep things separated by class, filed away in his backpack neatly. But after a few weeks he just ends up writing class notes on the first empty spot of paper he can find, and stuffing papers into his backpack, praying that he’ll be able to find things later. It’s the inevitable outcome.
