About Me

For the links below, you might notice that some of the Masterlists share the same fics as others; this is to match the overlap on ao3. Those 'repeat' fics will be marked with an [X].

Bird's Box of Short Stories- A collection of drabbles, ficlets, and eventually crackfics. [ONGOING]

Slices of Life: Liliagatha Edition- Exactly what the title implies, this collection ranges from ficlets to one-shots, with a few pending multi-chapters scattered in... eventually. [ONGOING]

AAA Rare-Pair Smutfics (18+)- Rated E; A series of canon compliant and alternate universe fics; will do- Liliagatha, Liliagathario, Harkale, and likely a few others. Minors, not for you. [ONGOING]

Birb's AAA Week 2025- Rated G-E; All Agatha All Along Week 2025 works, ranging from drabbles to multi-chapters. [COMPLETE**]

ALSO:

The Ice Skating AU is slowly getting fixed... especially since I jumped ships to something a little rarer. (Sorry Agathario nation). Any info about that future AU will be here (ie. there will eventually be a link here... in the meantime, you can use #Birb's Ice Skating AU to see what's already there, though some will be changed).

** This series is complete in the sense that no new works will be added; but there is an ongoing multichapter that will be updated.

See you lovelies soon,

people think writers make good English teachers but the opposite is true. sixth grader asks why she can’t start a sentence with “and” and im like idk girlie grammar is a construct and language is a fluid gelatinous animal. people used to write “thou” and they were being totally unironic about it. start your sentences with an exclamation point for all i care. a+

Fanfiction is great because you can see so clearly how people learn to write.

Some people, it's clear, learned almost entirely through absorbing the world around them. Grammar and punctuation will be all over the place, spellings are approximate, but the voice of the narration will come through so clearly. You can hear the dialect of the people around them as of they're telling the story. It's not a written story, it's a transcription of how they talk in their day to day life.

Some people learned through reading a gazillion books as a kid. Grammer and spelling will be rock solid, formatting occasionally based on the single tab of physical books rather than the double tab of online scrolling, but dialogue is often stilted and overly formal. You might notice a lack of contractions and very rigid rules they made for consistency that actually have a lot more flexibility than they think. They tend to have a fantastic grasp of sentence flow, though.

And other people formally learned how to write. This could be anywhere from taking school classes seriously because they enjoyed writing stories as a kid to literal certifications and jobs in the field. Grammer is flawless. Punctuation is triple checked. Foreign words are in italics. Characters have distinct voices. But their self indulgence is tempered by perfectionism. They know precisely what they want from a fic. Authors notes often feature mutterings about their happiness with the chapter. Kaomojis often appear! They seek a style to their writing, and it makes for some wonderfully clever plots! These are the ones most likely to get fun with formatting!

And some people.... Some people examined it all. They dissect dialogue, people watch, cross reference behaviours and compare characters to people irl. You can tell almost immediately who had formative experiences with Terry pratchett and/or ghibli, because it's these people. While others see writing as fun, expression, craft, they see it as art. Plain and simple. Sure, the grammar is occasionally sacrificed on the altar of creative freedom, and the occasional sentence might miss a full stop, but these people seem to self reflect on themselves as part of the art making process. On occasion, these people have the most masterful grasp of dialogue and invocation and hand sewn characterisations. Formatting is pretty standard because all the focus is on the actual words. These fics can be edited to the moon and back!

All of these can vary wildly in forethought and quality, and betas can often catch individual problems before they hit post, but just. Isn't it so cool? What's that one Oscar Wilde quote about every mask just being another fragment of yourself?

Did you recognise yourself?

AAA Week- Fic Recs

Well, I don't typically do this, but I wanted to highlight a few fics written for @agathaallalongweek from this very creative and talented fandom that aren't just, as an esteemed oomf said "the same fic 200 times in different fonts".

Thank you for writing these works- I found them refreshing, original, and in character.

it takes a coven by sweetreverie, 17k, rated G-T every entry to this is a nuanced, and in character take on what the coven dynamics would be like as a fucked up family; and I enjoyed and looked forward to reading it every day. special shout out to the tommy story- i thought it was really sweet.

coffee shops in color by @birdiescorner, 2k, G the todd and sharon fic you didn't know you needed- i love the westview citizen pov, and this one nails it right on the head. full disclosure: i did cry a lil at the end.

fake marriage, real hands by @florencebirdsong, 1.6k, E ms birdsong does it again, with a fascinating and kinky little tale about the Hex and it's side effects. agatha/reader/wanda, very spicy indeed.

aaa week 25 by non-xreader, 6k, G-T the dialogue is snappy as hell, and the takes on the prompts are fresh and interesting. enjoyable and thoughtful.

i love the way it hurts, by quinnking, 1.9k, E huge fan of a good, toxic jen/agatha situation, and this one is just golden. they're so mean and addicted to each other: delicious.

'Til Death Do Us Part- by @ennn, 3.7k, T Much like Rio in this one, Ennn never misses; this fic made me laugh, gasp, and hanging on for the next installment. Action, comedy, drama- all in a neat 3.7k.

Unfinished Business, by thetbone, 3.7k, T Rio centric character study, but through the lens of the Black Widow side of the marvel!verse. Fascinating look at what her job entails and how it wears on her.

Cheers, and I hope you can find the time to give these authors some love!
