was chatting with a fellow luztoyer and was struck as if with lightning with poll idea. so,
do you have a luztoye fic that made an Impact on you? not first read, but first to make you Feel Things
yesss <3
no :(
haven’t read a luztoye fic
please do rec it in the tags! let’s chat on some Art.
(this will possibly be a part of a series of polls with other ships as well, since it works for many..)
OKAY lets talk mine. we’re going with a Few because we can.
first off we cannot have a fic rec session without mentioning @almost-a-class-act and the lovely lovely work that is
KNIT US TOGETHER
"They haven’t talked about this, but George had sort of had some non-specific plans to sleep on the couch until Joe had a couple of solid nights’ sleep in his own bed under his belt. Besides the fact that Joe needs to get some real rest – he was terrible at sleeping in the hospital, and being crammed into a twin bed with another grown adult probably won’t make sleeping here much easier – getting into bed next to him makes this tenuous, not-platonic thing between them feel very real, in a way that passing out in a chair next to Joe’s hospital bed had not." Or: Joe and George adjust to life together after the war.
and
YOU GOT THE BEST OF ME
People assume that when Joe thinks about his life, it’s in terms of before the accident and after. Instead, he thinks about it in terms of before and after meeting George.
both of these were certainly Monumental fics for me that truly Changed the Game of all time xoxo.
special shoutout to @youcalledmebabe for
THE UNIVERSE AND YOU
A year in Joe Toye’s life.
and the next luztoye part that is going to come out in this universe, which all should be waiting for eagerly <33
and to @peaceandl0ve for
EVERYTHING DIES BABY THAT'S A FACT
Life continues on after the war, and Joe Toye is left to figure out how to live it—courthouse weddings, untimely reunions, past lovers, and all.
which is being posted RIGHT NOW and absolutely lovely and engaging.
love love love to all of these authors and fics <33. i apparently have 23 luztoye works bookmarked on ao3 and would rec all of them if i thought i could get away with it, but for now this is The List. if you’ve ever loved a luztoye fic, please add to it! sometimes it’s good to hype up the world truly
Sorry that this formatting is unpretty; I'm on mobile.
Would be remiss not to mention this one by @3milesup just because I love when the reunion is Not Easy and I think the characterization is so chewable, and this so-precious-you'll-die ficlet about luztoye from an outsider pov by who else but @blood-mocha-latte
Omg i just saw this, thank you so much @almost-a-class-act !! You really made my day, i can't believe someone still remembers that baby of mine, the reason i joined the fandom in the first place... You just made me want to edit and post the rest of it^^ anyway, thanks again! <3
