we are all made of stardust🌼 @lynnsxx - Tumblr Blog

Hiya!

I was just wondering whether anyone would be willing to give me some old fic recs please. I don't really have preferences, but if there are Brella centric or heavy fics that'd be great!

Thank you :)

lynnsxx

Since the text space for replies isn’t big enough to fit my list, I’ll just reblog it so anyone looking for good brella fics can read this because everyone deserves to satisfy their brella-cravings.

Winx: The First Year by @imhereformr (it's a rewrite of S1 - she started S2 as well - with lots of focus on everyone, especially brella and MusaxRiven) + you can find a few other brella one-shots on her profile

Anything posted by @stellasolaris (tumblr account with some greeeeat headcanons as well), who’s Livienne on AO3 and FF.net

Anything posted by @redhairedgirl95 (tumblr account with some greeeeat headcanons & prompts as well), who’s ThisIsDzulia on AO3

Why Don’t You Tell Me What’s On Your Mind? + Falling for you by Sunshinesunshine on AO3

Borderline + Home by yumenoyousei on AO3

Brothers at arms (S1 rewrite, then there are S2 and a part of S3) + the great witch rebellion + perfect by tears-in-rain on FF.net

A lot of fics by SeaEmerald on FF.net

Through the looking glass by goldenwriter17 on FF.net (unfinished and I’m sad as hell, but I still love it)

Change of schools + Return by camilladavis on FF.net (both unfinished but there’s still a looot of cute brella moments)

Hope this helps!

++ if anyone has other recommendations, they’re very welcomed.

Episode 13: The Power of the Dragon Flame

Yeah the rest of the Winx found you Bloom, the magical stairs were left open

L: Stella can you use your freaking teleportation?!

L: This is not the moment for them to talk!

Tecna makes a good point

Damien being sweet is what makes him being Bloom's twin make sense? Not him also being a fire powered redhead?

L: Sending the boys to find the Winx cause she doesn't wanna go... Classic Faragonda

Orbs makes it sound like it'll be hard to find what they're looking for

The largest library of spells only has 929 spells?

"I do not think you would survive" tecna 🤣🤣

L: Vexius is gonna hurt Damien to get her flame isn't he?

Idk maybe I'm heartless but I would let the twin I've had no interactions with other than him being jackass die to save the rest of the world

L: why is Bloom not using her dragon

L: Okay this is what happened with the trix in the original

Me: Minus all the buildup and story

L: what a weak ass dragon

Yeah of course Daphne's okay. She's a spirit.

L: that's all it took? Daphne telling her to let go?

Daphne was like believe in yourself! And Bloom was like OKAY! 😃

L: Pretty smart of the trix to let them wipe each other out

Vexius is not wrong

L: Oh Flora's gonna be the one to save Damien. I knew they had a connection

Damien's dramatic af

Convergence... Woo

I am not afraid of a tween is a fucking hilarious line

L: The Dragon flame, the ability to teleport, the freaking beast and they can't get Flora out of there?

L: oh... The boys

I swear to God if all it takes is Daphne being like you have the power to defeat Vexius

Stormy makes a good point

They're heroes? For what?

L: ugh not even a Brella hug... oh Musa and Stella!

L: ugh... Not Bloom and Sky...

L: No Brella? What a waste of my time

Me: Well that was a really anticlimactic ending...

L: well it's the same ending as the original season 1

Me: Yeah without any of the drama, buildup or backstory

Final ratings out of 10:

@lynnsxx : can I go under zero? Okay wait I can find 5 good parts

1. Stella and Musa hugging in this last episode

2. Stella and Brandon in that one episode where she says she likes him for him

3. Stella and Brandon fist bumping

Oh, maybe I only have 3...

Wait, 4! Musa and Riven

Me: 1.5. Half a point each for the Musa episode, the Musa/Riven interactions and Tecna for making laugh

Actually, on second though 1.25. The Musa episode lost points for the story being overshadowed by Bloom.

imhereformr

Episode 12: Lightrock Fortress

Assembly? There's like 20 people there...

Why are the trix at this assembly?

L: oh so they just left Bloom lost?!

Look at Stella remembering things from class!

L: I love it when Bloom's not there

L: yeah let's just go up the random stairs that popped up out of the clouds. Smart Bloom.

Oritel was the OG of the company of light? Does this thing mean the founder?

L: Oh so she still doesn't know she's Marion and Oritel's daughter

Aisha makes a good point about Faragonda being the one that should be hunting for Bloom

Does Palladium not think he should advise the ready of the group

... No apparently he doesnt

WHAT have they done to Daphne?! 😭

L: WHAT THE...

Oh people remember their wings in this version

These are the easiest trials ever

WHAT? How did her causing property damage save Flora and Stella?

L: Nymph Daphne looks much better than real Daphne

Bloom's like I thought I was special

Damien is an idiot

Hopefully at this point Damien is like ah shit I fucked up

That creature looks fucking ridiculous

L: THEY JUST LEAVE THE STAIRS OPEN?

Why are the trix there?

Is there really time for the winx and trix to fight?

Guess Vexius' brainwashing isn't very good...

Vexius abducted a child and kept the same name?! Changing the kids name is like how to make sure your abducted child doesn't find out they're abducted 101

L: Daphne's a spirit, how is Vexius gonna harm her?

imhereformr

Episode 11 A New Enemy

L: [Bloom]'s gonna lose control

L: Oh... Apparently she's a pro

L: I am pissed that Damien is replacing Helia

Why is Sky going off to sulk?

L: Wow Red Fountain has such high security: Two whole guards 🤣 ... And they didn't even notice that Darcy disappeared.

At least they sorta kept the Musa/Stella "rivalry" thing? Very little sorta but it's something

L: Oh I've never seen Robin react like that

Me: That means she's probably not a very good specialist

L: *accidentally says she loves Musa's little braids when she means that she hates them*

L: I guess Red Fountain is still falling

Me: Well yeah... The specialists are all running away

L: Until the Winx get there and we get some Brella

L: Just hit Vexius with the ship

Oh Vexius took Damien's flame

L: yup. Think he's dead?

Props to Riven for being the only one that's like hey we have to fight

The agent from OUR concert?! Excuse me, Bloom?! OUR?!

I wanna fall into a flower

L: Oh NOW Saladin shows up?

L: Oh yay! This is the first time we see Saladin actually do something

Why are they posing?

L: we don't care about you two (referring to Bloom and Sky)

L: *freaks out over Stella and Brandon fist bumping*

M*freaks out over Riven touching Musa's shoulder*

Vexius' dragon looks really cool

L: oh come on Saladin, you were doing so good

He sent Saladin to Omega? Excuse me?

L: so Vexius stops to let them grieve Saladin? That's nice of him

I don't think their shields are gonna do much...

L: HIT. HIM. WITH. THE. SHIP.

L: Oh now Robin shows up?

Me: I told you she wasn't a good specialist

Griffin won't expel the trix?! What?!

Oh so now it's Musa's concert again

imhereformr

Episode 10 Stella's New Crush

Prince Luke... Ew

If Vexius wanted Damien to be more useful, why didn't he train him to use his magic???

L: Of course it's just them

Saladin's voice... Ew

Bloom why are you telling Brandon that Stella LIKE likes him

L: She's team Brella too!

*switches to Damien and Vexius* L: Okay I don't care about you. Go back to Brella

The crown with that outfit is not working

I actually kinda love this whole Bloom and Brandon stalking her thing

"All the best clubs are in dark alleyways" ... Huh?

L: This is not the date a prince would take her on ...

"No sign?! It must be very exclusive" Not the brightest bulb, is she?

No way Stella actually believes this whole "so exclusive" nonsense

Kuhnoot

Did Brandon just yeet Knut into the sky?

Unforch

L: The Trix have a song?

L: I love that Brandon is part of this. I always wish he was part of saving her from the fake date in the original series

Does Brandon still have a rip in his pants?

*gasp* Mommy! 💀

Where did the rest of the group come from?

L: Yeah, how did they know?

*Stella hugs Bloom* L: What about Brandon?

What is this, a PSA about not meeting people online?

Aw she crowned Brandon, how cute

Riven's dancing 💀💀

imhereformr

Episode 9 The Simulation Room

Well that sounds terrible

L: Is she gonna tell her?

Faragonda is modifying everyone's schedule and forcing them to take this exam early... For Bloom??

The chamber's really been downgraded...

Damn she burned her friends, that's insane

Having everyone watch their worst fears is mad fucked up

L: Do you think we'll get to see the trix?

Doubt it

Oh I guess we will

L: Why are they allowed to go together?

Right? This isn't a group project

"We should check it out" why? Y'all need to mind your own business

Tecna's not even in the chamber??? Why is she being attacked by her fears???

That's all it took? A little positive affirmation?

Why is Faragonda acting suspicious? They literally did come to help Damien

Okay so now the trix are watching Vexius? Why is everyone in this show a creep?

L: Oh she is telling her?

She's not even easing her into it 😅

Damn, the peace of the entire realm. No pressure...

imhereformr

Episode 8: Rock and Roll Fairies

I would ask if this episode is about Musa but the shopping one wasn't about Stella so...

L: At least the original series gave the other girls some attention

Oh Musa in concert. Maybe it is 😮

[Bloom] texted [Sky] 10 times in less than 24 hours?

Why are the rest of the girls backing her on stage? What musical ability do they have?

Sky answered the invitation to set up but not Blooms apologies?

L: *freaks out about Brandon and Stella interacting*

Why did Sky answer Blooms text if he wasn't coming?

L: And volunteer his friends

Riven standing awe-struck as he should

"He obviously doesn't like me" ...girl

God Vexius is being real fucking creepy

Oh so her mom's still dead

L: Wait is this Riven or is this Darcy?

I think it's Darcy

... Or not?

It's Riven playing guitar. That's unexpected.

Wow... Riven defeated the trix really easily

Wait is this show having Musa and Riven actually interact??? Maybe it's only partially (mostly) hopeless

L: freaking out about Riven coming to help Musa on stage

Me (the actual Rivusa shipper): What? Was he planning on doing this the whole time?

Is that a ring on Diaspro?

Oh thank god that backfired. That was gonna be way too easy...

"I don't think he's an agent at all" ... You don't say

Are the stage lights still going and everyone's just waiting for a second song while they fight Vexius?

L: He's just posing while they attack him

L: *indistinguishable noise*

Brandon and Stella are just standing next to each other, calm down

*notices his arm around her waist* oh maybe more...

L: more indistinguishable noises

Riven: "you were great our there" 😍😍😍😍

"And the audience is still there" YEAH, CONFUSED

Why is Bloom the center of this song??? It's Musa's show

L: Not anymore

Oh Sky is back

L: Whiplash

"I know you" No you dont

"Diaspro buys her own jewelry" as she should

L: she's a strong independent woman

imhereformr

Episode 7: Dark Bloom

Why are we already at Dark Bloom? Does Rai know they're probably not getting another season of this trash so they're pulling out all the storylines now?

L: Oh finally! The Trix are getting in trouble!

Griffin raised them as her own daughters?

Did Aisha not realize that she was dancing??

Can't risk being seen but Vexius keeps hanging around? Make that make sense

And Bloom is the only one that's helping? Wow the bystander effect is real

L: Transform! Stupid 🤦🏻‍♀️

Wait Dark Blooms outfit is kinda fire

L: I love that they changed the outfit as if no one's gonna notice

Don't address us as mother and father in public??? Damn Aisha's parents got worse 😬

Oh I guess they're not trying to make it a secret

Diaspro caring about being rude???

Dark Bloom is kind of a bitch

Stop you from doing what?

L: Bloom needs to chill

Musa get up!

This show is feeding the Soundwave shippers more than any others...

What do you mean did [changing Bloom back] work? Is her outfit not changing?

L: Take a hint 🤣

L: What happened to [Aisha's] parents?

L: Oh, there they are

Well that was resolved quickly

L: Well yeah we've only got 13 episodes

"We love you" ...Do you?

Wow that recording of Dark Bloom was very clear

imhereformr

Episode 6: Into The Woods

Why are they in the woods without magic?

A YEAR? how long has it been? What is this fucking timeline

What the fuck is that thing

Bloom's not a good camper. You're not supposed to feed wild animals

A: We've made it where? The top of a mountain?

L: It's not. It's barely a rock.

Oh the struggle of putting up a tent is so true though

As a regular camper: starting a fire doesn't work like that

Wow... Robin isn't a very good specialist

And Icy's ice is weak af

Oh no... Words 😂

Omg Musa writes songs in this version????

Oh it's not a very good song...

How do the girls know the words to this song they've never heard?

And why has this become a music video?

L: We're not dying to know about Sky. What about Brandon?

L: Yes Brandon!

His retro bangs are low-key fire. Girl what 😂

Flora and Damien? 🤢

Why is this Brandon not as openly obsessed about Stella? Why are they ruining Bella (and everything else)

L: Can they steal her power if she doesn't have any at the moment?

You can not handle the Trix, Bloom

L: You've handled things without magic on Earth where no one else has magic... It's not the same

Oh there's a plan? Since when?

Uh... A sandwich 😂

L: Where are Tecna and Flora?

Oh they're back

"Thanks to you" Robin means the guys right? Thanks to the guys, right? Cause Bloom didn't do shit

Why is Bloom getting all the credit?

Wow what a conversation

imhereformr

Episode 5 The Shopping Trip

Oh, think this episode might be about Stella?

How does she not know about Magix(ia🤢)? She's been there for months?

"Not so loud" what? Might Griselda hear the joy and want to ruin it?

L: Oh now they use [Stella's] ring

The Trix will handle it as if they've been more successful... This Vexius fella is really blinded by hatred for Damien

Omg Riven acknowledged Musa

And Musa walked away 😂

That was it??? The guys just left?? They were there for like all of 3 seconds

L: And they just let Musa walk away?

Oh Sally's kinda cute

I love Sally

L: You haven't got anything. It's all Sally.

Is Musa playing a UFO?

Oh... Sally is no longer kinda cute

Why do you need to do anything? Just run away

L: Why is it dark now?

"you're just in time" well actually they missed quite a bit

L: They alerted the whole school?

Not Sally swatting Damien aside 💀💀💀

Look at Faragonda being useful - that's the only good thing about this so far

Why is Damien the only one getting yelled at? The Trix didn't do better!

I hate to admit it but I kinda like this Tecna? She's not actually Tecna but if this were a different show she would amuse me greatly.

imhereformr

Episode 4: A Trick By the Trix

What is Darcy's voice???

Darcy's Riven wall? What? So out of character 😂

L (About Damien): I TOLD YOU! I KNEW IT!

L: God I wish I could fly

Is the point of this scene just to show us they can fly?? We know that. They're fairies.

It's been months now?!

L: [Diaspro] sounds like Kiko did in the original series

Well at least this Faragonda is actually telling them things

L: Oooh look at Stella knowing things!

Did they make Riven's hair worse?

Their magical practice consists of putting together a puzzle? 🤨

L: Is [Damien] gonna be [Bloom's] brother? They're both blue-eyed redheads

Oh it is a puzzle... And Flora just helped Bloom cheat

Faragonda and Griffin drinking tea watching Damien fall 😂

Oh this Faragonda isn't entirely useless 😮

Father???

imhereformr

Episode 3: Winx vs Trix

The theme song is so bad 😭

How did Knut get into their room?

L: why is Stella not wearing her ring?

How do they know the trix hang out at cloud tower?

They just keep an entire book of maps to an area that's off limit in the school library???

That's not a map, that's writing?

Griselda??? Oh she does exist 😅

It does not match her shoes at all

Girl you're still in class, talk to them after class

"No I wouldn't 🙎🏻‍♀️ I mean... I'd love to 😀"

Does Faragonda visit each room individually to tell them to go to bed?

Why were they following Bloom's watch for directions when they have Tecna?

L: why's [Tecna] condescending?

"here it is" as if it wasn't in plain sight the whole time

L: leave him there 😅

L: They're like the little guy from Star Wars (she means Yoda)

L: they trapped the fairies of the sun and fire in ice?

They're not even in the ice, just in a cave of ice?

Why is Bloom outside the ice??

L: there's no way Stella couldn't even melt a little bit of that

Is she gonna melt the rest of the building?

L: can she aim?

Did they walk all the way back??

"I even blew up part of a tunnel" ... That's not...

"six fairies who met at Alfea and share a common room" 🤣🤣

Where did Musa's guitar go?

Me: Who delivered pizza in the middle of the night? L: to a school that has gates?

It took Griselda HOURS to tell Faragonda about Bloom reading the book of Domino

Who the fuck is this?

L: Vexius???

imhereformr

Episode 2: which fairy is witch

L: (between episodes) I hate this

Why is Faragonda British?

This is stupid. Bloom has to be a fairy, she doesn't have the aesthetic of a witch

L: a mysterious friend?

I wonder if the other girls will exist at some point in this show

Bloom's not paying attention in her first class ever???

So fairies and witches are in the same class? How does that work if their magic is meant to be different? I know I joked about the aesthetic but that can't literally be the only difference...

Is Kiko a book? I'm dying.

L: Diaspro?!? *breaks out laughing*

Oh Sky is a prince

L: why would she trust the Trix when it's already been shown that she shouldn't?

"thanks but no thanks" oh maybe Bloom's not as dumb as we think she is

Aisha really just said "I don't really wanna spend time with you" 💀

So they girls are friends already and we don't get to see anything except them talking for like 30 seconds?

"can we stop having fun now?" I hate to admit it but I kinda like this Tecna 💀

Oh no, Bloom is that dumb

The first magic users came to this room in a school that teaches magic?? I'm confused. How was the room there before the school??

L: Bloom's leaving already??

How is she remembering memories? She's been here for less than a week?! She doesn't HAVE memories to remember except for laughing with her so-called friends for 30 seconds!

Wait she hasn't gone home yet despite being back in Gardenia. This bitch was like "I'm going home" and chose to go TO HIGH SCHOOL?!

They're stealing her powers already????

There is no plot in this at all

Her parents didn't know she went to a magical school???

They did know??? "We're your parents, of course we knew you had powers" girl what

Why is Tecna leaning against a counter looking like an NPC?

L: I hate this. It just doesn't have any structure.

L: okay I just wanna see Stella and Brandon (proceeds to Google if they interact at all and flip out that apparently Stella goes on a date with someone else at some point)

How come Bloom gets commentary and the other students just get "fairy" and "witch"

imhereformr

Episode 1: A New Fairy In Alfea

Not them making Kiko a stuffed animal 😂

L: They'll probably magically make him real when she goes to Alfea

"Must've cost a lot?" It's a bike!

WHAT IS THIS INTRO? WHY IS EVERYTHING HAPPENING SO FAST?

L: did [Flora] just change accents when she said Flora?

Did they do 2 episodes in 4 minutes???

"yes I can [forget Kiko]" 💀💀

At least Alfea is nice even if the rest of the animation sucks

"you're amazing" "I know"

Who the fuck is Robin?

What the fuck have they done to Griffin?

L: she's cleaning the... Stone?

L: this is episode 6??? We're not even 10 minutes into episode 1

Why does Flora get a random Italian accent when she says names???

Icy wants to get her kicked out? She's only been there for a day?

"I can make your punishment much more unpleasant" L: bad outfits, terrible punishment

Who's this? Damien?

L: what is this? Me: a llama?

Bloom (taking the controller from Icy): "let's try it" girl what the fuck? Why would you take something from someone you don't know to do something you don't know about. Good to know they haven't given NewBloom any more sense than OG Bloom.

No Damien's right, it is Bloom's fault

L: oh my god I'm scared (as the specialists ship appears)

L: why do they all have eye shadow?

It's been three days???

God what the fuck did they do to Brandon

L: no one has introduced themselves as Prince or Princess?

No the transformation songggg 😭

Icy's portal went to Bloom's high school gym?

L: well at least Mitzi is the same

Why are they post its all over the bathroom?

"Nobody follows me on social media" 😂

And now you shove me in a bathroom stall is a valid complaint on Mitzi's part
