What I've commented on, so far!

* Not actually limited to just fanfiction/reading!

I was pretty busy this week so a few days of not being able to get to anything or not much at least; with a few binge-heavy days lol. But I have one really exciting one I wanna share with you, as I do believe I just made a new fandom friend!

The Future Looks Bright With You - Rated E - Redfly/Ironhead

@reggiesfilthylittlesecret wrote this one a while back, as a gift to me! It's actually inspired by my big redfly/rediron focused series. I legitimately cried the first time I read it, because I love it so much and well. This series just means so much to me, so someone writing a fic directly inspired by it just really gets me every time. I truly can't recommend it enough.

The Fantasy of Nature - Rated E - Pope/Ironhead

A Touch of Sparkle - Rated E - Pope/Ironhead (background Ben/Catfish)

Push, not Pull-- With Your Tongue - Rated E - Ben/Catfish

more of reggie's fics, but in my defense reggie is the most prolific writer on Ao3 for non-reader/insert/etc fics soo even if we weren't besties by now a lot of my reads would likely be from her anyways haha. either way, these are all from her stunning Lace and Kinks series, which is mostly IronPope, with some background+stand alone FishBen too.

Alas, like I said, I was busy this week

With Eyes That Glimmer - Rated E - Redfly/Pope

reggie posted this on the 11th, as part of her newest series: Shouldn't Have Happened (Shouldn't Have Kept Happening). the series started off with Ben/Redfly, then Ben/Redfly/Ironhead, toss in some Ironhead/Pope, and Redfly/Pope too for messy relationship goodness. i can't recommend the series enough.

Francisco "Catfish" Morales gifset

a gorgeous, if slightly heartbreaking, gifset of catfish made by @pedroslakersshirt - i'm particularly entranced by the third gif; i don't think i've seen anyone else gif this tiny moment from the storage container.

Desert Spirit - Rated M - Ben/Catfish

True Blood - Rated E - Pope/Ironhead

Bearing Spears, Carrying Shields - Rated E - multi-ship

it was a Catfish-heavy week, admittedly though not intentional lol. the first three are from the same artist: @mjpens; who has some really lovely fanart of Catfish! i just really love the scenes they went for. the fanedit for catfish is focused on whenever he's armed in the movie and honestly, 100/10. he is hot when armed. my moot, @dirbenaffleck just has so many lovely gifsets for triple frontier on both that blog and @batfleckgifs. okay a big one i wanna highlight though is actually the "Bearing Spears, Carrying Shields" fic by @reggiesfilthylittlesecret. do you like triple frontier? do you like moon knight? well do i have fantastic news for you because this is a TF/MK crossover! do head the tags, but like. chapter 1 is up and it's truly just so good, idk how it's not gotten more attention already honestly.

okay this part is going to be a smidge different, i do have my usual links after this but i wanna tackle this first.. because this is not limited to traditional "comments" and just in general showing our appreciation to those who make fanwork for our fandom, regardless of the type of fanwork. and i am doing my best to lead by example, as much as i am able.so, all of that is to say: i finally gained the courage to message my favorite artist for triple frontier: @littledozerdraws ! dozer has so many amazing pieces of fanart for this movie, that i seriously cannot recommend enough that y'all check out. it's primarily a mix of FishBen and, to my delight, RedIron! there is not much fanart in this fandom, so i'm pretty sure he has drawn a fairly large percentage of whats out there. so the fact that so much of it then, is RedIron? it warms my heart entirely. it was my first exposure to the idea of RedIron as a ship and honestly it was the first nail in the coffin for my little RedIron-obsessed heart. i've commented in tags of their art before, but i wanted to do a little more. so i wrote up something in my notes to send to their inbox. but found it closed, but their DM's open. i was really hesitant, because i didn't want to overstep my bounds. so instead of my big ol gush going straight to their DM's, i said hi and asked if i could send it first. once he said yes, i sent over what i'd written:

dozer said i made his day and honestly just hearing that made mine! i would have been perfectly fine if that was the end of it, but instead we've been chatting about triple frontier, and bonding over it since! he even asked for a link to read my redfly/rediron series!!!! 🥹

all of this is just to say, that this is ultimately my goal with these events and the TFF community: to just make friends and support one another in the fandom! this experience alone just so perfectly distills what i've hoped for in making the community page.

okay, back to more standard lists now, i just couldn't not gush about this amazing experience.

For your sweet creature’s celebration can I please ask for a mood board of Dieter & Poppy on holiday; I’m curious what their perfect holiday is.

Also Dieter does his sweet notes on Poppy’s coffees; is there anything similar that Poppy does for D?

Thanks for sharing them with us 💜💜💜

Poppy visiting Dieter in NYC while he’s busy with events and filming for his latest role

She does lots of random little things for him. Random sweet text messages. Little notes on the bathroom mirror written in her favorite lipstick. A PJ&J with a little “last night was fun” note stuck to it, he’ll find it in the fridge after she’s left for work.

Thanks so much for loving them and all the support and kind words!!

omg this is so sweet!!! i will happily take these silly happy pedros!!

allow me to reciprocate!
