#go read!

The first one (the one that's neat) is cormorant run, wich i bought for 7,50. Its about stuff! I don't know what stuff, but apparently a lot of people died when some rifts opened and its about someone going into those (according to the back)

The other is the debut, and it's called the miseducation of cameron post, and so far, its pretty gay. I'm on page 12, and cameron just got dared by her best friend to kiss her, and now they're discussing that. I like this.

2073 words, E, Jaxel.

Far over land and sea (M, 11.2k, Maglor & SoF, Maglor & The Song)

He had felt, in the seconds that followed its aftermath, a vibration that shook him to the bones, a permanent ringing in his ears that only he, apparently, could hear; as though a chord from the Great Song had been irrevocably changed. A string that snapped and couldn’t be repaired.

Secrecy (G, 397 words, Fëanor & Curufin)

He felt something over his shoulder. A presence both soothing and strong-willed, demanding attention. He didn’t have to look back to see who it was, for this fëa glowed a rich dark crimson, very similar to his own.

The Hunter (G, 300 words, Celegorm & The Woods)

Celegorm’s Song rose to a crescendo. He cut his palm and smeared two stripes of blood over his cheek.

Narrow escape (G, 430 words, Húrin & Huor, Húrin & Morwen)

“Yes… you know how the Elves are! They see you in rags and immediately start pushing clean clothes onto you. It's an offense to turn them down!”

Bedtime stories (G, 309, Théodred & Éomer & Éowyn)

“But if she’s a witch and a queen, she could fly if she wanted to!” The little girl raised her chin in defiance.

Retribution (M, 800 words, Fëanor/Fingolfin)

“I am glad that Morgoth has not killed you,” Nolofinwë continues, paying attention to how Fëanáro’s face twists in surprise. “He has left you to deal with me.”

Begin again (M, 4k, Fëanor/Fingolfin)

When he realized what was happening, his eyes were fixed on Fëanáro’s lips, his thoughts bent in one thing only: to kiss him until he lost his senses; to devour the breath that burned his sanity and broke his heart.

Tendrils (G, 1k, Fëanor & Finwë & Siblings and Fëanor/Fingolfin)

He wanted to pull Ñolofinwë closer, investigate the specks of light blue that dance in his iris, and, as this thought formed in his mind, his half-brother closed the distance between them and kissed his mouth. 

The skilled and the steadfast (G, 5.2k, young Fëanor & child Fingolfin)

“Atar does that.” Nolofinwë stared into Fëanáro’s eyes with no fear or remorse. “People talk to him and he answers. Everyone likes Atar.”

Of the Sun and Moon (G, 434 words, Tilion &/Arien)

They could either choose to be the new bringers of the light made by the Gods and awaken the Secondborn, and thus be forever sundered, or they could remain together, yet in eternal darkness. The choice was dire yet it had to be made.

Here’s one I just finished reading and enjoyed immensely. It’s a slow burn with a really entertaining and compelling plot, very sunny, positively healing religious trauma, sexual exploitation, and homophobia.

GO read!

So this one requires some context...@wrongcaitlyn got me OBSESSED with Apollo/Darren (Pollen, MY LOVES <3 <3 <3) and I couldn't NOT write something for this criminally underrated pairing.

So without further ado, the first sentence of the fifth paragraph of an unpublished WIP...except the sentence was short so I'm giving you the full paragraph lol:

“Waiting for someone?” The voice comes from behind him. Darren is forced to crane his neck to see whoever has intruded on his rather unflattering internal monologue. The sky is staring back at him, cradled in the irises of a young man. He’s likely Darren’s age, tall with broad shoulders and one of those smiles that draw people in—breaking dawn and pearly white.

It was only supposed to be a short one-shot, but now it's 12.5K and still counting so it's taken far longer than expected but it's almost done!

I just read a beautiful short story with Vicar Aziraphale and Succubus Crowley that has all the Halloween vibes and then some!

Find the Light by @klikandtuna

“Find the light

But the light finds you

The shadows slide off, no dusk, no dew

Can mar the glory of what you’ve become

Preserved in amber, born anew

From pondwater

Pondwater”

(quote from the song lyrics in this fanfic)

(My fanart for this fanfic based on the painting “Bachschleuse” by Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, 1827-28, Kunstpalast Düsseldorf, Germany. It’s very symbolic. 😎)

In the ever flooding ocean of stories, there are some that stand out, that I think about days or weeks later, that touch me more than others. Once a month, I make a post about one of those:

This story takes the reader on a journey of hurt and comfort, trauma and healing, fear and courage. Instead of the summary, I’d like to quote the beginning, that told me right from the start that this was going to make a rewarding read:

~

He stood at the window, full in the afternoon sunshine that angled in between the curtains—velvet, once the color of a fine Zinfandel but now somewhat faded on the outer side, with a few trailing threads at the hem that brushed over the floorboards. Every year, Michael would suggest replacing them; every year, he would pretend to consider it. But he loved those worn old curtains. He reached out as he stood there, closing a fold of the fabric between two fingers to feel the warmth that the sun had infused there, the soft prickle as the tiny strands shifted.

The intercom chimed. A pleasant sound—a low, musical chirp. (They had cycled through seven different machines before finding one whose alert had pleased him.)

“Sir, Adam Young to see you.”

In 15 chapters and ~ 97 k words, this e-rated Human AU with teacher Aziraphale and rock star Crowley is a story that captured me, that made me think, that is still with me weeks later. It’s so well written that it, again, makes me regret a lot of those “real books” by “professional authors” I bought and read in the years before I found the AO3, a lot of which did not come up to this high quality. There’s music in here, a poetic song, metaphors that really spoke to me, and flashbacks that were expertly handled and used to tell the story the best way possible. There’s also fanart! Needless to say, the characters are relatable and loveable.

One word regarding the e-rating, as this is something many people either love or hate: the scenes regarding sex in this are rather rare, can not be called smut at all, are very tasteful, some are more described symbolically than explicitly, and still manage to be highly erotic.
