I'm Anais! I am 21, an enjoyer of haunted jewelry, art, writing, and much more. Currently engrossed in the Sander Sides fandom and a variety of horror podcasts, but my other interests make appearances on a regular basis.
Here is my AO3, made up of mostly Sander Sides contents
You can find (most) of my writing under #anais writes
My art under #anais draws
And my occasionally nonsensical posts where I just talk under #anais rambles
Here is a master post with information on my OCs!
I have no issue with random asks or DMs! Especially if related to any of my fics.
This is exactly what I wanted to see in the finale. The film was completely devoid of any emotion. They deserved at least an embrace. A desperate, long-awaited one, full of love, the desire to protect, and to love forever… Perhaps with tears, but tears of relief, as well as the longing from a long separation...
the problem isn't “they didn’t get the ship moment I wanted.” the problem is thematic incoherence.
season 1 and 2 kept hammering the idea that individual lives matter. not replaceable copies. not "close enough." actual people, with continuity and memory and history. Crowley and Aziraphale repeatedly chose imperfect, messy existence over grand cosmic plans. so ending with "the universe gets reset and everyone is replaced by alternate versions" isn't just horribly depressing. it's philosophically backwards. like the story literally abandoned its own argument in the final act.
the Job parallel especially points that out pretty cleanly. The whole emotional weight there was: replacement children are not the same children. new children (even if they had, by some chance, looked and acted Exactly The Same) doesn't fix the tragedy of losing the original children. that mattered to them. so yea, this ending feels less like "hopeful transcendence to tear down The System" and more like “congrats on your happy ending! everyone is dead, but the cottage is cute!" bold creative choice ig. like serving tea with eccles cakes after detonating reality.
my frustration is basically: the story spent years arguing that personhood matters — memory matters, continuity matters, these exact souls matter. and then solved the finale with a cosmic reset that wipes out the very identities the narrative taught us to care about. very much like the nuclear apocalypse they were trying so hard to prevent. it goes against the very thing Crowley was staunchly opposed to during The Flood. against everything they did in the Job minisode. against literally the entire Jim/Gabriel narrative, about Jim not really being Gabriel without his memories. and also, to quote Crowley, "the angel you knew is NOT me."
"but they found each other again! we got them back at the end!" no we didn't. that is NOT them. and to say that they are is kind of insulting tbh. they LOOK similar and maybe have some of the same interests, but just bc a blonde and a red head are into books and astrophysics doesn't make them THEM. their memories, their history, everything they went through together and fought for, the experiences that shaped their characters, those 6000+ years — that's all GONE.
Also. people keep saying stuff like "it was the only right choice" as if there were only two horrible choices? if the story introduces negotiation and moral choice, we'll naturally start imagining alternatives. once “God offers options” enters the chat, people will obviously ask, “wait. why was this the chosen solution?” when they could've gone for idk, literally anything else. God literally offered to put things back as they were. they could've chosen to have THAT universe, THAT world —THEIR world— put back into place and then added their own conditions to tear down Heaven and Hell. they could've chosen to keep their memories. they could've chosen to make everyone human from then on if that's what the writers were so hellbent on. they could've chosen to make God erase her own memory for all i care idfk. but this ending feels like a bad consolation prize.
after EVERYTHING they did, and everything they went through, they deserved SO much better than this. THE WHOLE WORLD did.
New Earth isn't Earth. a Michael Jackson impersonator isn't actually Michael Jackson. The Other Mother isn't the real mother. those new people aren't their original selves. and whoever those guys are at the end are not Aziraphale and Crowley.
Linked below is the list I made of all my Logince fic recs :) I'm planning to update this weekly so keep an eye out for new additions to the list!!
I'm always open to requests from all of you! If you have a Logince fic you love and would like me to add to the list, send it my way!
Check below the cut for some other info/author shoutouts!
OTHER INFO
There is NO explicit content (smut, excessive gore, etc) on this list, BUT I do have an 18+ rec list as well! If you are interested in that, message me, and if you are in fact 18+ I will send you that!
That being said, there are a handful of mature works on this list. I made that decision based on my discretion (I usually go by Teen and Up suitable for audiences ages 13+, Mature for ages 16+, and Explicit for ages 18+ with my works) and just want any younger readers to be aware of this
Most of the fics here are on AO3, but I will be searching Tumblr/Quotev/Wattpad/etc as well
While this is mostly platonic and/or romantic Logince, there are some fics that include polyships, as well as some fics that while there is either no central dynamic or multiple central dynamics, I really liked the Logince interactions
I will add more to this as I think of more things to add
FEATURED AUTHORS
I will tag authors as I find them/as I add fics to this. If you are on this list and I didn't tag you, please let me know so I can do so!

Pretty sure Virge would HATE this wording for him, but I love it 😂
Hey there! Just a friendly reminder/PSA from your friendly neighborhood Pixiemage!
“Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” is too often (incorrectly) used as a cover-all tag, on fics ranging from Vaguely Uncomfortable to Serious Shit, as a replacement for any intense tags relating to the story. People will use it to say “Holy shit guys some INTENSE SHIT happens in this story” without actually saying what that Intense Shit™ is.
In actuality, the “Dead Dove” tag is meant to be used in addition to other warning tags. Pulled from a scene from the show Arrested Development (look it up on YouTube!), it means “Hi! Hey! I labeled this fic to warn you of what’s in it, so you might REALLY want to read those labels! This fic is exactly what it says on the tin! The tags are accurate! Don’t say I didn’t warn you, because this is me warning you! Read the tags!”
So before you accidentally use the “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tag without context, here’s your preemptive lesson for next time. Please tag your fics accordingly! Ta!
