ARE THEY REALLY THIS MAKES ME WANT TO WATCH IT MORE

[ TRANSISTOR ]

"Temple() // Get You Safe" by _digital cairn I adore Royce Bracket. I adore Royce-centric fics. This one is, hands down, my favorite exploration of his character. His history with Grant, the possibilities of their early relationship with one another, the turns it's taken since. More specifically, Royce coming into his own. And it's beautifully written. The opening paragraph alone grabbed me the moment I started, and I love every single word.

"Foundations" by runicmagitek, (tumblr) Speaking of frikkin' Royce Bracket, I love what Runi has done with this drabble series, and I'm still happy to see it going strong. In fact, I'm still in awe of their ability to convey so much personality in such short pieces. Any kind of "who they used to be, how they got here" focus on a character is a sure fire way to my heart, and this series offers so much freedom to the imagination in that respect. Always look forward to the next update~

"A Night in Goldwalk" by plurality You ever read something and feel transported to that then and now, so vivid in your mind that you're actually there for a time? That's what I felt with this. You're invited into the shoes of an unnamed citizen exploring the night sights of Goldwalk, and the atmosphere is stunning. Leaves you wanting more. Highly recommend their other works.

"Citylights" by Sonntam Sybil has a soft spot in my heart, partly for the blatant vulnerability she's lost herself to when we're first introduced to her, namely for the razor-sharp resolve I imagine she has in regards to getting shit done. This piece explores both. Sybil's public efforts, her feelings for Red, her confliction. It's very quiet, very reflective.

"Something Shiny" by pseudocitrus A short and sweet crossover between Bastion and Transistor! You follow Kid & crew through what's left of the world, and the way things come together leaves you wondering about the possibilities beyond. I've yet to play Bastion, but I've read up a good chunk on the wiki, and I can say from that this is a lovely blend of the two.

"Synapse Flood" by NeverwinterThistle Royce and Asher. Do I see many fics that focus on these two alone? I'm not so sure, and it's been a while since I read this, but I remember being struck by the thought of Royce and Asher together in a sexual capacity at all. There's an interesting twist on their chemistry going on here, and beyond the mild kink (oh, it pleases me) we see Asher expressing doubts in Grant and their cause.

[ ACE ATTORNEY ] "Cup of Tea" by pantswarrior Literally, just fuck me up. Hella explicit, potentially triggering, hella long, but SO worth it. This right here is all I've ever wanted explored in a post-AJ WrightWorth fic. Everything this author writes is golden, but this takes the cake for me because I adore the potential for some Fucked Up Nick like you would not believe. You, much like Edgeworth, learn exactly how deep Kristoph's influence on Nick runs, and it's all masterfully done.

"Legal Partners" by Miggy Conversely, if you need a fic that will make your little queer lawyer-lovin' heart happy, this is the fic for you. The title pun is hilarious; the premise isn't as silly as I initially thought it would be; and when all's said and done, the writing is very much in the same spirit of the games. You get your doses of WrightWorth and Klapollo in equal measures, and despite some low points plotwise, it's a feel good fic overall.

"Infinitely Late at Night" by xtwilightzx The characterization's on point and it focuses on my favorite kind of quiet moments between these two--tucked away in bed. I think what draws me to this pairing most is how rich their history with each other is and how much it will continue to be, and this showcases Phoenix reflecting on that somewhere in the middle of it all. Beautiful piece.

"Words, Words, Words" by valentinite One word to describe this writing style is "jazzy." It's a mix of a letter and exposition, and honestly I've never even thought someone could pull it off in a way that didn't come across as choppy. Not to mention the blessed and tasteful WrightWorth smut, thank you, dear god.

[ ATTACK ON TITAN/SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN ] "To the Old World" by OCULOVORE, (tumblr) Aaah, I read this WAY back when Bel first posted it, and even though I'm not as into SNK like I used to be, this still pops to the top of my mind whenever I think about it. It's utterly gorgeous. The main trio, Eren, Armin, Mikasa, are all there and it's heartbreaking. She explores the mental and emotional costs these kids have to give in this brutal world, and I'm still in love. Bel, bruh, when you read this please know that your writing still touches me and you'll get there. Appreciate you~

"The Father" by Misaya, (tumblr) Again, I've fallen out of SNK I don't know how long ago, but my friend Amanda recommended this to me and I swear it's enough to pull me back into the thick of it. Levi's a father struggling to make ends meet, struggling to let his heart heal from his former lover's loss. Erwin's a well-off business man coming to terms with his sexuality, his failed marriage, his desire for a child. They meet. Everything hurts. It's beautiful. Read this and don't even stop to question, just let it wash over you.

"Glass Houses" by Misaya, (tumblr) I'm cheating my guidelines and listing the same author twice, because their writing is just that good. I haven't finished this yet (a lot of my SNK recs are the same), but what portion I have read is stunning. Numbing. Enrapturing. Masterfully written. I could go on, but that would get tiring real quick. You follow Erwin and Levi through time and memories as they learn to cope with Levi's onset of Alzheimer's. When my life gets more settled in the next few weeks, I plan on sitting down and reading this in its entirety, but I can assure you already that this is the gem of gem fics.

"When Daylight Comes (You Feel So Cold)" by fractalbright, (tumblr) More talented friends, what the fuck. This messed with my heart. The concept and writing style. The tension between Levi and Erwin as they come to grips with an accident that throws their whole lives out of balance. Plus androids and future and cybernetics woven into the everyday like a dream, just goddamn.

"Toeing the Line" by stillmadaboutpetra (tumblr) Ya'll are lucky I haven't shown my sinning ways as much as I could have in this list, because it would be filled with deliciously kinky fics like this otherwise. Another one I need to finish, too, but I flew my way through half of this and it is divine. The perfect balance of smut and plot, Levi and Erwin feeling out their blossoming relationship, and modern takes on all the characters that just feel right. Keep doing what you do, Mads.

"The Laws of Survival" by pasiphile Another one I need to finish, but I've read a good chunk of it and holy wow. Honestly, beyond what I've seen from a Choice with no Regrets, I've never given much thought to Levi pre-Survey Corps. I've never given much thought to Erwin and his early start within service either, but this fic gives you that grim picture and then some. Not to mention, any story that develops a generally two-peas-in-a-pod relationship from pure hatred to "FINALLY, goddamn" is A+ in my book. Go 'head on~

[ LIFE IS STRANGE ] "No Emoji" by mabufus, (tumblr) Weeps because talented friends are talented. I sadly haven't read many fics for Life is Strange like I would like, but this right here was such a refreshing little breeze in the midst of all the sad and time-fuckery. It's so in character, and it's the cutest "aha" moment on Chloe's end for her maybe-not-entirely-just-friendship feelings for Max. I'm a sucker for these nerds. Em does them justice, bless their soul~ (Write more shit, you boob.)

[ MUSHISHI ] "And Yet" by slire Stream-of-consciousness moment with Ginko in his wandering. I love this because, outside his younger years, he's always presented as mostly at peace with his lot in life in regards to the mushi; this explores whatever doubts and bitterness he may hold instead. It's a side of him we don't often get to see, and I can imagine this happening on screen as well. Also, lovely play with the formatting. I'm a sucker for that.

-

[ SCOOBY DOO ] "With The Wild Wolves Around You" by padmes Before you judge me and/or scratch your head like "...Scooby Doo?" Yes. I found it on accident while searching for something unrelated. Yes. A Scooby-Doo fic. Yes, it is legit very well written. And yes, you should give it a read. Daphne contemplates the direction of her life with the Mystery Gang, and it's got such an intimate little vibe that it must be shared.
