ft. the works closest to my heart (updated sporadically as my grad work allows :’D)
(all dividers by daisy at @firefly-graphics, edits thrown together by me)
rule 34 & however long I stay --
(a Date Everything duology, Hector x non-binary plus size reader)
rule 34: Reading some of Hector's work leads to you requesting he leaves the safety of the attic to come visit you in your bedroom. (18+, 15.5k-ish.)
however long I stay: Hector, missing you terribly after a longer absence from your life than intended, shows up at a Goth Night event in hopes of seeing you. what follows is perhaps a more complex reunion than he intended. (post-Realization, 19k-ish)
phantom of the archive --
(Date Everything human/grad school au, archivist!Hector x non-binary/plus size reader, 18+)
You are a grad student in your last semester of research, preparing to present the project that’s taken years of your life. Due to a serendipitous accident in scheduling, you find yourself with unfettered access to Hector Valentino Earnesto Castillo: a sweet, poetic archivist who can and will find literally anything you need for your work – so long as you don’t try to see what he looks like.
The months-long flirtation between the two of you comes to a head one stormy afternoon.
the fic itself
finally, my guide for filtering/avoiding reader fics, for the weak those who insist.
I also have ongoing tags for both my to-be-read list (as I tend to reblog first now so I don’t forget) and fic recs - those are definitely worth checking out for wonderful works by some very talented people!
older/on hiatus works below
from sokovia with love -
Just you, your dissertation research on a country that no longer exists, and Baron Zemo twisting your arm to help him with his latest master plan as the pair of you flee the authorities (and Captain America) across Europe. Really, in a world where half the population can appear and disappear in the blink of an eye, what could go wrong?
The Fic Itself, currently standing at eleven chapters out of fourteen
oneshots set in the same universe as from sokovia with love:
…and everything’s very strange (zombie!au of my own fic, which still needs one of its endings)
mutual frustration (18+, the proof-of-concept sketch that inspired the larger story)
delight in your sweetness (18+, body positivity story for plus size/non-binary reader w/ skin picking issues)
their heartache and their reasons (grief fic, Father’s Day)
bedside manner (sick fic)
covetousness (18+, Zemo and reader are fully in their possessive era)
and he told me I was holy (18+ for violence, rescue fic)
the urges we can’t admit -
You’re an experienced practitioner of the sadistic arts at Mrs. Williams’s upper crust establishment of pleasure and pain. Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, renowned Alienist, has sought your services on a word of advice from his former patient. What was intended to be just a working relationship blossoms into something much more - but his latest case raises the stakes for both of you, especially as you try to keep it a secret from prying eyes. (Most of this story is 18+, just fyi.)
The Fic Itself, which has been long in progress.
oneshots set in this universe with the same reader:
hold me tight as I tell myself that you might make sense (18+, Reader and Las talk through a boundary in their relationship
bring me to my knees, make me testify (18+, body worship for Laszlo)
la vie en rose (Laszlo indulges in nice weather, brings you flowers.)
we’ll get away with everything (18+, You and Laszlo have been married 20 years. A night out is… eventful.)
servatis a maleficum (once again, a zombie!au of my own fic. fight me.)
look alive, sunshine -
(looking for the source on the needlepoint in this edit - if you know it, could you lmk?)
A totally self-indulgent modern grad student!au, which at this point has only be a stand-alone fic - but could do with a continuation or two.
The Fic Itself. (18+ for confessions-of-feelings sex.)
the headcanons that inspired it
the playlist
thanks to everyone who’s read/still reading these fics, I definitely wouldn’t be making this list without y’all 🖤 this is half an accountability list of some things I want to work on during my free time, and half just me remembering some of my previous work I really love 🥰
had the most vivid dream last night that I was in a loving and supportive relationship with this hilarious chubby puerto rican(/possibly jamaican also?) dude, and woke up to discover he wasn't real like
so unless that guy is real, was also having dreams of a non-binary basketcase with an outrageous rack, and would like to announce himself, I'm apparently going to have to stop reading my own work before bed, because what the fuck. that's not even fair.
what do you mean brains can make up people whole cloth and make them feel exceedingly realistic. who said that was allowed.
IGN Exclusive | Daniel Brühl Stars in Magic: The Gathering: Marvel Super Heroes Commercial
(NOTE: article was auto-translated from German to English)
Over the past decade, Magic: The Gathering has produced some truly legendary promotional clips for its trading card game. Unforgettable moments include the War of the Spark trailer featuring a rendition of Linkin Park's hit song "In the End," the animated glimpse into the whimsical world of Bloomburrow, or most recently, the puppet theater for Lorwyn Eclipsed.
Now, a new one seems poised to join the ranks, as Wizards of the Coast managed to recruit German star actor Daniel Brühl for the perfect edition.
Shooting Preparations with Daniel Brühl
The 47-year-old arguably received his biggest international popularity boost playing the role of Zemo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, as we were assured on set, he is not playing this villain in the commercial for the upcoming MtG set Marvel Super Heroes.
The reasons for this are likely legal in nature. That said, Brühl's look is very heavily inspired by the comic book Baron, complete with a leather coat and leather gloves.
Does Daniel Brühl normally leave the house dressed like this?
And story-wise, this version of Daniel also doesn't seem too far removed from his film and series role. In the video, we see him in a dark location. The lighting is dimmed, even flickering occasionally.
Evil Daniel in His Magic Hideout
With a massive stack of various booster packs and booster boxes—arranged, not by coincidence, to look like a city's concrete jungle—he builds himself a deck composed of villains, which are set to face off against the hero deck of influencer RvNxMango later in the clip. Any Magic fan would probably have started hyperventilating at the sheer volume of cards just casually lying around on set.
We will likely find out who gets the upper hand in said duel shortly before the release on June 26 via Wizards of the Coast's channels—or slightly earlier, exclusively right here on IGN Germany.
