a multi-fandom safe space

a blog with fic, art, and more for those of us frustrated with fandom but determined to stick with it. take a look at my about before sending an ask.

math reasons

published this year and already becoming a Charles/Erik fandom favorite--why haven’t you read this fic yet? it’s a college AU where the boys are as clueless as you’d expect. they still have their powers and still have a lot of shenanigans. at 84k, you can really sink your teeth into this fic, and it’s fluffy as a cloud and so, so satisfying. the ideal hot chocolate + rainy day + cozy blanket fic.

the boy who only lived twice

this fic literally redefined Draco/Harry for me. it is an Unspeakable fic (spy fic, HP version) and comes in at around 54k words. I don’t want to give away too much lest I spoil it, but it does contain a good bit of violence and is very angsty at some parts (do not trust the summary, lettered is notoriously terrible at them). even if you don’t like this pairing, i think you’ll find something to like about this fic as a stand-alone thing.

mine eyes have seen thy salvation  

a different take on fandom holiday fare, this fic is mirror universe Kirk/McCoy slash that is rather gen in nature. It plays with an alternate version of history and for mirror universe, is surprisingly bloodless but for some offscreen mentions of violence. It’s under 2k words and a quick read but one that I love to come back to again and again.

the theory of narrative causality

a brilliant meta fic in which Sherlock and John of the BBC show are big name fans (BNFs) in the Sherlock Holmes fandom. There may be accessibility issues associated with this fic because of the image content and the amount of links (it’s set up like livejournal, for my fellow former (current?) LJ folks), but it’s so worth a read. Potential warnings are basically Moriarty creepiness and sex mentions.
