Sabriel rec list 2
Hi all! Time for yet more of my faves! Ā Again, this cannot be a comprehensive list of everything that Iāve ever enjoyed. Thereās just too much. But I can try!
Sabriel recs part one can be found here.
1.Ā Recharge byĀ AlchemyAliceĀ Words: 5945 Ā G
In which Sam takes custody of Gabrielās porno, Dean and Castiel need a push, and there are shenanigans of the restorative and historical kinds.
It might be short and gen, but I love me a good resurrection fic.Ā
2.Ā taking things slowly (then rushing ahead) byĀ orphan_accountĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Words: 2862 Ā E
When he brings the dog, Sam knows itās getting serious.
A nice little PWP- clothes sharing is involved. you get the idea.
3.Ā Of Hunters and Tricksters byĀ vlbuehleĀ Ā Words: 5689 Ā E
Sam met Gabriel when he was ten (and Gabriel was still a Trickster). However, Gabriel still protected Sam for the next eight years. They get together. Somehow John finds out and tries to convince Sam to kill Gabriel and thatās what brought on the Stanford argument.
canon divergence- What can I say? I have a thing for the pagan sacrifice trope.Ā
4.Ā Thunk byĀ badgerempressĀ Ā Words: 1444 Ā T
Samās had enough and decides to give Dean a taste of his own medicine.
Whenever Iām not feeling great, I look up this fic again because it has me in stitches every single time. Holy shit, itās hilarious. And I love the characterisation too? Just read it.
5.Ā Last Words byĀ MiniaturesĀ Ā Words: 1353 Ā T
He feels Deanās eyes on him, but he canāt bring himself to meet his brotherās gaze. His mouth is cotton, his chest scraped raw. He draws back his sleeve and stares, breathing ragged, at the sharp black lettering along his forearmāthe last words heāll ever hear his soulmate say.
āAnd this is me lying down.ā
soulmate AU- Will rip your heart out of your chest then promptly stuff it back in again. Short and sweet.
NOT TO MENTION all the rest of the stuff Miniatures has done- her other fics are all wonderful as well, and the WIP sheās working on, Metal and Wax, is just amazing. Check āem out!

New Chapter!!!
Chapter 16 of FWAP
I think fandom analysis on the whole would be a lot more fun and interesting if it took the sort of attitude a great many of my lit professors did, and the idea was to look at the text, see what you think it's saying, or even COULD be saying, and let's fuck around with that idea. I got four years of hearing insane takes on stuff and I was extremely fortunate to go a school with small enough class sizes and a dedicated enough faculty that in many respects, wild theorizing was encouraged.
One of my professors was straight up like "I don't want you reading papers about this book until we finish it!" and we had writing things for the first 20 minutes of every class because he wanted to know what WE thought, not what we had become convinced was THE thing to think.
When I was in my second year of college, I spiraled out into this whole "Jane Eyre is a lesbian!" thing, and my professor (not the same guy as above but delightfully insane in her own right) was like, "Wow, I've never heard this from anyone," and instead of being like, "um this is not what has been agreed upon by everyone else" went "Tell me more." Now, as a forty year old woman who has never stopped engaging with stories on both an enjoyment and academic level, the paper I would write with age and distance would be more "Homosociality, desire, and the domesticated male in Jane Eyre" or something like that, nineteen year old me was a little reductive and simple, but same vibes.
But my professor did not think I was right, she thought I was being INTERESTING, and so she encouraged me and championed me to write that paper and I actually presented it at the student division of a conference! The cool thing about that was, that when I was defending it, I was having to think about it, but it was in the spirit of collaboration, it felt like. No one was trying to 'win' the conversation.
Doc, what the fuck are you--I saw a really interesting thing this morning, someone talking about Shrek, of all things, and how they thought it was about how you cannot turn an ogre into a man, but he can make you become an ogre. And I immediately went, "Wow! Okay, interesting, not how I read that at all, TELL ME MORE." It was really jarring for me, then, to see pretty much every comment be like, 'uh you are wrong and also stupid." Sure, maybe that's not the intention of the work, but I don't for one goddamn motherfucking second think Charlie Bronte was sitting down going "I am going to write a woman so gay..." nor do I think the read of her as same sex-attracted is the end all be all of interpretations. It's mine, for sure! But like...talking about stories is supposed to be fun and it's supposed to be about possibility.
That one post got me thinking about how we are, in fandom often all looking at this same text, and there's immense pressure to have a 'right' interpretation--I was at the nexus of so many Sailor Moon fandom wars, and while I got into a few tussles, I was also stupid to do that. This characters are not real, and I was shutting down POSSIBILITY. And even after I was like, 'Wow, I don't think this is actually a very fun way to do stuff" it turns out you can't magically give everyone the same revelation you have simultaneously. Which is upsetting. And I see these same patterns repeat over and over and over again.
In my old age, I'm less interested in he "He would not say that" and more interested in "Cool, tell me why he would say that?"
Don't misunderstand me, there are points of view and ideas on different texts where I'm like, "Hm. I don't care to engage with that." Remember that the window we're looking out of is as important as what we're looking at, and will DOUBTLESS change the appearance. But the whole reason we have each other is to try and find other windows! It's not actually to find someone who is the next pane of glass in your same window. I miss that environment, where you could trust that everyone coming to the table was engaging with the same ground rules and that there was an expectation of, detachment doesn't quite get to the heart of what I'm talking about, but we were expected not to take the text or the analysis of it personally, even when it was hard. And sometimes it was. But I think it led to me having--for example it's crazy to me to have one 'right read' on any given text. I had a SUPER FUCKING ANIMATED conversation with a fellow lit nerd about whether or not GdT's Frankenstein was emotionally faithful to the text (which is not the same as being literally faithful nor the same as being good)and it was so fun, EVEN THOUGH we were coming at it completely opposed. But it was so fucking fun.
I wish I could do that with anime and cartoons, but you can't. People take Shrek personally. So I'll never have that same fun.
ANYWAY SORRY I AM DRINKING COFFEE AND MY DAUGHTER ISN'T HERE I HAVE TOO MUCH FREE TIME.

Sooo instead of sticking to one fanfic I decided to write two at once because Iām crazy.
So for the fans of my original Serpens & Leo Minor Iāve decided to rewrite it
Here: Serpens & Leo Minor Chapter One
For fans of Tomarry which now includes me (blame @aethon-recs for amazing Tomarry fic recommendations) thereās Falling With A Purpose. It is set in a similar but adjacent universe where similar events happen but a few things go differently, leading to big plot changes.
Iāll post with updates for both fics here like I did before!
If you happened to read either one of the fics the keychain featured in the first scene is based on a real key chain here.

40 Tomarrymort Recs for 2024 ā Longfic Edition (Part 3)
Part 3 of 2024 recs! See below for a round-up of some of the most engaging multi-chaptered works/longfics that I came across in this ship in 2024 š¤
As with last year, I found each of these fics, in their depiction of the ship, to be a fresh or surprising take on our familiar beloved characters of Harry and Tom|Voldemort, with an emphasis on underrated fics and/or fics that made me think about the ship in some new way. It's amazing to me that even after 20+ years of writing in this ship, there are still so many new themes and tropes and angles to explore.Ā
Criteria for this list: multi-chaptered, Tomarrymort-centric, with at least 1 update published in 2024.Ā
Overall, for 2024, I've split up my year-end recs into 3 parts: (1) Completed Multi-Chapter Fics, (2) One-Shots, (3) WIPs. Hereās the link back to Part 1: Completed Multi-Chapter Fics with 30 fics and Part 2: One-Shots with 30 fics. And with these 40 fics, this wraps up 100 recs for Tomarrymort for 2024!

Auror Potter by @albondiguilla007 (E, 21k, WIP)

Crush by @chiocchi (T, 4 chapters, WIP)

Do It Over by @marrythemonstersao3 (T, 57k, WIP)
Harry wakes up on the morning of his eleventh birthday, ready to do things differently this time. He has no grand plans, just the instinct to be close to the man whose soul he shares.

Embryo by @cannibalinc (NR, 112k, WIP)

Moon Rite by @isalisewrites (E, 15k, WIP)

One Year In Every Ten by @saintsenara (E, 207k, WIP)

Stygian by @crowcrowcrowthing (E, 71k, WIP)
There's a book in Voldemort's private library that can explain this kind of magic. The cover is black and shiny and looks like it's breathing. Harry really wants to take a look at chapter three, no matter what it takes.
Tender Reigns Our Night by noumena (M, 103k, WIP)

The Longing by @aglassroseneverfades (M, 41k, WIP)
What is possibly most damning of all is that Harry is not thinking of his parents right now as he trudges alongside his companions up to Voldemortās eerie castle. He is thinking instead, as he often does, of a name that burns too brightly on his wrist in the pre-dawn light.
The Runemaster by @kazisstillawake (E, 43k, WIP)

The only thing he knows about Tom is that heās not dead. Harry would know if that happened. Heād feel it beating inside his heart, inside of his very soul.
Timeless by @perhaps-sunlight (E, 3k, WIP)
In which Master of Death Harry Potter time travels to the 1940s, only fixing Tom Riddle isnāt quite what he had in mind.
To the Hilt by @izharmilgram (E, 28k, WIP)
Voldemort had trusted him with the task of bringing Prince Gryffindor under his control, thus securing the future of Gryffindor within their hands.

20 years old and unemployed, Harry decides to use a time turner to travel to 1946. But what he finds isnāt the proud, charismatic Dark-Lord-To-Be, but a neurotic 19-year-old Tom Riddle living quietly in the tiny flat that his retail job barely pays for, isolated and addled by chronic illness.
we made universes out of bitten lips and broken hands by @boyneptunee (M, 68k, WIP)
