f-yeah-no-evil's Fic Recs!
You know when you're so deep into special interest territory you start reading fanfiction again? Well... I skimmed every fic on Ao3, and I'm back with a selection of favorites.
Just Your Typical Coffee Shop AU - 522 words
A 2017 fic that held up better than it has any right to. This is pure, undiluted, overdramatic silliness, and features Corn, Vinkle, and Charles interacting, of all characters.
Wrip and Kitty focused. A 'missing moments' style fic, this one is cute, short, and sweet. Another 2017 fic, and reads exactly like one of No Evil's early episodes. Nostalgic all around, and probably my favorite of mine.
Xalaquia - 655 words (so far)
Eventual speakmurder, very monkey triplets and Murder focused. Just posted today. If I manage to complete it, it may be No Evil's only canon-focused multi-chapter fic! A lot of heart, soul, and research went into this one, and with any luck, you'll love it as much as I do.
You do (i do) by WritingWithAltair (@altairsarts) - 554 words
Speakmurder fic that made me pace around the room in distress (incredibly positive). It's the same old story: Murder flies away, and Xochiquetzal tries to get her to stay. If it's not angsty, is it even speakmurder?
Hunter's Moon by ss_carnelian (@sun-turner) - 2,485 words
A cute little exploration of Corn and Huey's friendship on a sleepless night. Huey's joke is on point and I love the idea Ixtlilton taught Corn magic. Nice prose all around.

Another 'missing moments' fic, focused on Charles stealing Ixtlilton's mask. Sadly, this may be the weakest entry in the list, due to some grammar issues and lore-fudging for dramatics. But its weaknesses are outweighed by its strengths - the tension between Charles and Ixtlilton crackles all the way up to the story's inevitable conclusion.
As always, there's lots more great stuff to find, and the authors listed frequently have other work I adored. Give 'em a few kudos if you like their work, and happy reading!
