Pick A Side (i love you and everything is beautiful)

Image ID: A screenshot that reads: okay so, i'm sure and i hope this author's amazing long fics are gonna be recommended to hell and back (hey, they wrote a fic about thomas going to hell, too!). but. BUT. I need to highlight the one shot collection. And one specific part of it in particular. Pick a Side has some amazing one shots, but there's an underrated three-parter in there that grabs you by the chin, looks deep into your eyes, and anakin-memes you while there's blood pouring from its mouth. you go "this is just a normal coffee shop au, right?" and the story winks at you with three eyes and goes "yeah. don't worry about." "don't worry about what?" you ask, while thomas spends the entire first chapter freaking out and the entire second chapter gaslighting himself into being a functional pawn of customer service while the universe unravels around him and he refuses to acknowledge it. it's also a queer coffee shop they all work at, and roman's and virgil's dynamic is particularly wholesome in this one. there's a super funny bit where they try to fix a coffee machine in which a nokia got stuck and virgil suggests finding out if it's actually indestructible. there's like, fifteen other items also jamming that machine. don't worry about it. okay, i'm just rambling, so in short: the prose is absolutely fucking excellent. it's a funny and creative take on a coffee shop au with underlying and not really subtle existential horror thrown in the mix, because the fluffiest coffee shop au in the world won't keep thomas sanders from having a mental health crisis in the middle of his living room. it's an amazing fic and i love it and everyone should read it.

You Can't Go Back:

Image ID: A screenshot that reads: My favorite sasi “humans are space orcs” au yet!!! Virgil gets to walk around with four menacingly long spider limbs and a bunch of venom at his disposal, Janus gets to defy the space government in the best way possible, Remus gets to be responsible for all of humanity’s credibility, Roman gets turned conspiracist and is proven right, Logan gets to draft the first research papers on alien life to his hearts content, Patton gets himself an alien bodyguard, and they all get to be dumb as shit the whole time!!!! very fun read

Janus Sanders and the Cassandra Fallacy:

Image ID: A screenshot that reads: okay. listen. the cassandra fallacy is just straight up beautiful & also fucks really hard. it's a percy jackson au where canonverse thomas and co. go on a pjo-style quest & it sort of plays around with the unreliable narrator janus and cassandra truth which is just INCREDIBLY fascinating. it does some really cool things with that, none of which i can say because of spoilers, but just trust me when i say it is SO cool and i am insane about it.

the writing is witty & feels exactly like the original percy jackson books, bu if, yknow, janus narrated them instead. i don't know what else to tell you, it's just funny and delightful and an all around wonderful read.

even if the cassandra fallacy doesn't win, it is an absolutely fantastic fic!!! please do yourself a favour and read it!

this is not me pushing you to do stuff any faster than you're comfortable with - i'm just wondering if everything's all right? is the au competition still on?

HI!!! Thank you for checking in. College has just been kicking my ass recently. The competition is still on, it's just probably going to be a bit before I can follow a strict schedule again. I had wanted to get all of this round out a While ago. But as you can see that didn't happen.

I like how none of you called me out for forgetting about the polls! Sorry about that, I got really busy with getting prepped for college again. Anyways those will be out tomorrow and Sunday.

[sasiaucompetition]

Polls go out on the 15th of this month. I probably won't reblog them more than once (day before they close), simply because there are events this month (that I only realized I might accidentally overshadow after I promised the brackets today). I've delayed everything until the 15th because of this, side A. goes out really early for me that day, along with Side B. going out really early on the 18th to mitigate any overshadowing that might happen.
