I'm very torn between rewatching dw season 4 because Donna is great, and not putting myself through the emotional turmoil of what happens to her. Do you have any suggestions?

You can do what i did and rewatch through unicorn and the wasp and then wait for an emotional stability that will probably never come to finish the season bc tbh it's all rough from there. It's good but it's rough.

Night in the woods (young woman returns to small hometown after dropping out of college, handles things like mental illness and parental abuse well) Monster Prom (build up stats to ask the most popular mermaid/demon/ghost out to prom, writing similar to dream daddy)

omg thank you! i’ve been playing night in the woods and i really, really like it. i love mae.

For Fandom Together, I'd like to request some Matt/Foggy epistolary fic (or voicemail or email or what have you). Anything from a college AU where they've never met but keep using the same study carrel and start leaving each other notes, to post s2 messages that are thinly coded because they're Not Talking to each other.

I really wanted to do the college AU but couldn’t figure out how to leave notes Matt would be able to both read and write without totally destroying the carrel, so Post-S2 voicemail it is!

“Hi, you’ve reached the cell phone of Franklin Nelson of Hogarth, Benowitz, and Chao. I’m unable to take your call at the moment, but leave a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.”

“...Oh. Uh. You. You changed your outgoing message, I wasn’t expecting...uh. That is. Sorry. It’s...it’s Matt. You probably already knew that but...well, anyway. I know you’re defending the ex-wife in the Lowenstein murder case. I...I got a tip from, um, through...that friend of mine, the one you don’t like, who helped us on the Fisk case. He...I know you don’t like what he does, Foggy, but...look, just dig into Lowenstein’s brother’s finances, would you? I...my friend thinks you might find something useful there. So. That’s all. ...Bye.”

*

“...Hey Matt, it’s Foggy. I, uh, I got your message, and we looked into it and...well, you probably already know. Anyway, thanks. Uh...stay safe. Yeah.”

*

“Hey, it’s Foggy. I, uh...shit. I saw you on the news, that you were involved in that hostage situation down near Port Authority and they thought you’d been shot and Claire’s not picking up and I just...just call me when you get this, okay? I just want to know you’re okay.”

*

“Hi, Foggy. I’m...I’m all right. It was just a graze and Claire...well, I’m okay. I...thanks for checking. It, uh, it means a lot.”

*

“Hey, it’s Foggy. I saw you at the courthouse today...well, I’m sure you know. You probably smelled me or...well, whatever. Anyway, I heard you won that tenancy case. The defendant is a friend of Bess’s and...well, congrats. You did good, bud--uh. You did good.”

*

“...Thanks, Foggy.”

*

“Hey Foggy, it’s Matt. I got...it’s probably a mistake, but I got an invitation to your parents’ anniversary dinner? I won’t go, of course, but if you could just tell them that I...I mean, tell them whatever you feel comfortable with, I guess. But, uh, say hi for me, and congratulations. If you don’t mind. Please.”

*

“Hey Matt, it’s Foggy. Um...happy birthday, buddy.”

*

“Matty, Matty, it’s Foggy. I’m. Matt. I’m so drunk right now because we won and that deserves celebration, right? Congratulations, Mr. Hartfield, Franklin Fucking Nelson found you a technicality and you can keep right on fleecing your investors until someone smarter than me catches you out. And that’s not going to happen, because the only lawyer smarter than me is too busy backflipping off roofs to take a case against you, am I right, Matty? Buddy? Right, this is voicemail. ...I don’t care. I don’t care. I won and this whiskey is so expensive and I earned it and I don’t...I can’t...I just really miss you, buddy, you know? Shit, I’m so drunk. Shit.”

*

“...Hey, Matt. I suppose it’s too much to hope you didn’t already listen to whatever I said to you last night, but if you can’t actually delete it off your phone unlistened-to, maybe you could pretend to delete it out of your brain? Ugh, I’m sorry, just...yeah, man, sorry about that.”

[missed call, no message]

[missed call, no message]

*

“Hey, Fog. I...I miss you too.”

*

“Foggy. Fog. I...ah, shit. Sorry. Pulled my stitches. I’m fine, I just...tonight was bad and I...there was a moment there where I didn’t think I was gonna make it home. And I was lying there thinking about...about everything I never got to tell my dad, and everything I never got to tell Elektra, and I didn’t want you to be...I never want you to wonder. If I’m sorry. If it was all a lie. It wasn’t, Foggy. It meant everything to me. And I’m so sorry that I didn’t show it well enough, but it...I wanted you to know. That I cared. That I still care. You don’t have to call me back, but I just...I wanted to say that. That’s all. Thanks.”

*

“Hey Matt, it’s Foggy. I...I think we should talk. In person.”

who you gonna smooch

we just had a one night stand with the mysterious brooding guy but have our eyes on the barista, for coffee shop AU feelings

[specterthief]

srry to complain about fandom you are not involved in but this is re: your agab corollary but sanji onepiece has so many complicated feelings about gender, including his own male agab (whether the author intended the later is another question) but any time I try a ftm au it ends up being a fluffy feelgood piece where he's transitioned pre-canon and its all fine and he doesnt have the onion's worth of repression layers he's got in canon (even if you dont factor in the gender stuff)

i don't go here but i definitely get what it's like with characters as well sometimes where even beyond specifics of gendered roles and expectations it's also like... well they would not have figured themself out that much actually

[potatocrisp]

FUCK I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE

casskets replied to your post: For Fandom Together, I'd like to request some...

Aww, thank you! I felt my heart grow a size when Foggy started calling him “buddy” again

Oh yay, I’m so glad you liked it! :D

If you're still taking fluffy headcanons: Foggy has a few mugs that are handmade, from a relative who's steady improvement is documented in the gifts they've given away. When Matt is having a bad day, he likes to drink hot drinks out of them and catalog the different textures and temperatures in the cup. Foggy gets good enough at reading Matt he can tell what mug he should give Matt, and he commissions a special Matt mug with braille.

YES but important question: what doe the braille SAY? (I mean probably “Matt” or “Matt’s Mug” or “Wounded Handsome Duck” but really the possibilities are endless.)
