Where to start?? Love, At Least by @l-tyrell is probably my favourite Beyond Evil fic out there. Not only is it just outstanding, with on-brand characterisation, beautiful pacing, and gorgeous one-liners that I could only dream to achieve one day but it is also just so up my street. Historical gay drama? Uhm. Yes, please, and thank you.

I have been chatting with Cay about L, AL ever since she first posted about wanting to write it in the BE tag. It has seriously been such an honour to discuss plot points and just word-vomit my opinions at her and have her not once get sick of my ramblings. Also, I get snippets before the rest of you (she says, oh, so smugly), so I'm the luckiest reader here.

L, AL is currently 20 chapters long with over 100K words, and I don't believe enough people on this site are losing their minds over it. So, I decided that a piece of fiction of this calibre deserves its own poster. My design doesn't do justice to the thought, planning, time and effort Cay has put into her work. But I hope it interests you enough to check it out if you haven't yet. You won't be disappointed!

Cay, thank you for writing L, AL. What you have achieved should be praised and celebrated! You make writing 100K look easy, even though I know it wasn't. I'm so excited to see where you take the story next and if it's what I think it is... Well, everyone is in for it 👀You're honestly such a kind, considerate, and downright hilarious person who is seriously blessing us with your work. On a more personal note, thank you for always being so encouraging and thoughtful! 😊🙌

Some design notes: Yes, my poster's design is inspired by the Warriors of the Dawn poster. What can I say?? That design fucking rocks- how could I not do a homage? lol. Here we have jwds, Han Ki Hwan, Joo Won's mum, Yu Yeon, lotus flowers, the throne, smoke and fire and just all levels of drama. Yeah, I can only see the parts I don't like but I'm not going to keep playing around with it.

Additional note: The Korean text says, "I stayed for you" (or as best I could translate it), which is a line taken from chapter 14.

Anyway, I'm going to go now. Enjoy the fic!!

The Vampire Lestat 3.01

+ honorable mention:

[solardrop]

i think he's handling things really well.

[hesitantlyhappy]

iwtv seasons one and two was like being tucked into bed and read a heartbreaking story by Louis du pointe du lac. The Vampire Lestat is like your blackout drunk uncle trying to tell you an anecdote at a family gathering

[i-know-the-enddc]

what I fucking love is how tvl was written in the 80s and lestat is constantly sayinf shit like “as the kids say 🤪 that’s so rad!!” or whatever, and to me, reader of the vampire lestat in this modern age, that does NOT register the way anne rice intended it.

like it is supposed to feel jarring and insane. it is supposed to feel like lestat has been violently submerged in modern young people trends and culture and is now repeating all the new words he learned like a beautiful fresh baby. but because the book is from 1985, all I think is oh interesting huh I didn’t know that slang term even originated in the 80s how vintage how retro how lestat wow he’s so embarrassing aw aw so cute.

but amc in all their incredible genius decided that honoring anne rice’s original vision of writing an extremely modern and weird book that fully embodied the era it was written in was more important then bringing back the 80s nostalgia thing that streaming services love and it’s incredible to me. now I get to listen to lestat say shit like “labubu FOMO cosplay reddit discord Gen Z more like gen SNOOZE 🤪🤪🤪 safe space pronouns donald trump labubu tiktok dance 🕺🏻” and suddenly I understand what it felt like to be a young anne rice reader in 1985. God…. I understand.

Happy pride to those 5 seconds where Charlie Swan thought Jacob was coming out to him in the most insane way possible
