[zukkaoru]

hi grace this is very important and you are a very trusted source so the thing is with s2 of JJK coming up and me being caught up on the manga and all I was like… I need is some good satosugu fics to read to completely obliterate me sooooo would you have any recs???

HELLO yes okay so. i don't have as many stsg fics saved as i thought but here are some that destroyed me (affectionate) - some are angsty and some aren't necessarily angsty but were so good they destroyed me anyway

things long gone by hiraethia 4.8k words, curse!geto au

also by kai: one more august day (also i have not read the sequel yet but i'm sure it's phenomenal. also i'm just gonna rec all of kai's fics even though i've only read these two) 19.1k words, mostly canon compliant relationship study

asymptote by meruemsthighs 1.7k words, geto struggles with not being able to touch gojo now that he has infinity up all the time

love is all I ever yearned for; not this affection carved in stone by getoswrongs (juyang) (don't read the series description for this. just trust me. you have to go in blind for the full experience) 15.2k words, potter!suguru, and astrophysicist!gojo pining

GEN V 1.04 The Whole Truth

[campmiasmas]

MARIE MOREAU & JORDAN LI GEN V | S01E05, Welcome to the Monster Club

[poppy-metal]

Imagine Jordan switching from their delicate fem form fingers to their thick long masculine fingers, imagine how crazy they would make you, coming over and over and over again

they're so evil because you can feel the difference too. in their fem!form their fingers are soft and teasing as they pump them in and out, mouthing at your neck to suck marks into the skin. you'll be clenching and moaning, already close to that edge, your pussy spread and wet and leaking all over her fingers, the ring catching on your clit with every drive back inside your tight heat.

her voice low and hot near your ear sending tingles down your whole body, "you're so fucking hot like this - you're gonna cum for me, yeah? gonna give me what I want?"

it isn't till you tip over that edge, her thumb swiping over the swollen bud of your clit, that they shift forms. and you're already half gone, the immediate stretch of your hole around rougher, longer fingers, had your eyes rolling back. you hear their deep masculine chuckle ringing in your ears as your legs spasm around his hand. they're so much deeper now, his fingers, you can hear the wet squelch, the wet gush your cunt makes as his fingers go in and out, in and out, in and out. you have to clutch onto his forearm, shaking as you feel the muscles there under the skin, moving as he works his hand to break you apart.

"j - jordan!!"

"want one more - " a soft kiss to your jaw, lips trailing until you feel teeth tugging on your lobe. " - know you can do it, baby. for me."

THE BICKERING, THE GIGGLES, THE KISS

[mamonado]

He went back to his first morning in Oxford: climbing a sunny hill with Ramy, picnic basket in hand. Elderflower cordial. Warm brioche, sharp cheese, a chocolate tart for dessert. The air that day smelled like a promise, all of Oxford shone like an illumination, and he was falling in love.

Babel: Dream

As someone who is a bilingual but never left my home country, I’ve never thought much about this “dream” thing before this I read this scene… (note: and yes, I mostly dream with my native tongue)

Also the parallel between Robin

And Griffin

[nicolodigenovas]

I was trying to work on my WIPs but this thought won't leave my mind. I find it incredibly heartbreaking and poignant how Babel is a book about the ones erased from history and yet it still fails in so many occasions in telling their stories (and how it is on purpose). SPOILERS AHEAD.

From the start, we never get to know Robin's name, the last thing he thinks about before the end, and this is his story, which makes the loss even more staggering (even though Robin remembering his mother at the end is also hopeful and tender, because he didn't lose that memory). Despite all the pages spent describing the tale of all those Babel and white people don't believe they're human deserving of rights, their stories are incomplete, lost, and not only because the book is written following Robin's perspective. It's the English fault if we never get to know more about the Hermes Society. Anthony is so important to the story, yet we only know a little about him: as soon as Robin dares to believe in creating his path with the Hermes Society, Anthony and the others are brutally murdered.

Griffin is–I could talk hours about Griffin. He is Robin's foil, his brother, the incarnation of where the story is heading. Since the beginning, he is there to remind us the golden years are just a dream. He is the Cassandra telling everyone that violence is the only way to change things, and he's right, but at what cost. We don't know anything about him. We only have scraps. His last words –which were of comfort, of hope, not a recrimination like Robin thought– are never showed to us. We'll never know the impressive work he did all his life to make way for the revolution. Sterling, Evie, Griffin and Anthony were probably as intertwined as the main quartet: what is their story? What happened between Griffin, rejected son, and Sterling, who calls professor Lovell Richard? Did they love each other before and while hate consumed them? (Of course they did.) What happened in Burma? How much of Robin's cohort is a terrible replica of Griffin's? How terrible it is that we never get to feel the depth of Griffin's grief when he learns Anthony is dead? We only see the moment Griffin and Sterling manage to kill each other, ending their portion of the story once and for all.

We, like Robin, see the possibility of learning more about these people taken away from us. Robin will never get to see Ramy again, they'll never meet Ramy's parents in Calcutta. Victorie barely remembers her native language, Griffin's was taken away from him almost entirely. It's so much loss, of knowledge, of potential, of people, the ending of the book really feels inevitable. And right at the end, when you could dare to hope for a better future, when Victorie chooses to live? The only hope is her, and the book telling the story of the people who took Babel under siege. The book is the only way Robin may ever get to say his side of the story to posterity. And we, the reader, won't get the see the future either.

me after reading “Then Letty broke the world” scene:

[lawttes]

we're collectively glossing over one of the best-written, most heartbreaking parts of babel (huge spoilers ahead):

"He would never know, for instance, that there was a time when Griffin, Sterling, Anthony, and Evie had thought of themselves as a cohort as eternally bonded as Robin's did; or that Griffin and Sterling had quarrelled once over Evie, bright and vibrant and brilliant and beautiful Evie, or that Griffin truly hadn't meant it when he'd killed her. In his retellings of that night, Griffin made himself out to be a calm and deliberate murderer. But the truth was that, like Robin, he'd acted without thinking, from anger, from fear, but not from malice; he did not even really believe it would work, for silver responded only sporadically to his command, and he didn't know what he'd done until Evie was bleeding out on the floor. Nor would he ever know that Griffin, unlike Robin, had no cohort to lean on after his act, no one to help him absorb the shock of this violence. And so he'd swallowed it, curled in around it, made it a part of himself – and while for others this might have been the first step on the road to madness, Griffin Lovell had instead whittled this capacity to kill into a sharp and necessary weapon."
