Fanart of a background ship in this fic, by Eldritcher on Ao3

I started drawing this before I read Verity, so the vibe is not exactly the same.

Author Love Letter!! Eldritcher <3

Gosh. I love eldritcher's works. One of the funniest/kindest/brilliantest folks in fandom and I am just excite when I get a new fic from them because it's guaranteed to be fresh/different/unique/empathetic and just 100% written with heart and emotional connect. Even the darkfics/smutfics are just really soulful and beautiful.

Because the majority of their fic in 2023 are not HP I don't want to do a fic deep dive here. You can check my 2022 letter for those! But everybody should read the fantastic Birds of Paradise, about the friendship between Fawkes and Albus Dumbledore. Definitely in a nutshell shows a lot of the emotional richness of eldritcher's writing.

Eldritcher writes a lot of Problematic (affectionate not derogatory!!!) Because of their fic I read the following Really Problematic works.

Anne Carson. I mean! Really problematic. Lots of gender.

Beowulf. Nobody told me it was super problematic. Anyway, I read Beowulf because Ossuarium is technically Beowulf fanfic. I ship Grendel/Grendel's Mom because it's pretty much every single Ossuarium dragon/dragonrider ship ever. Also I am Team Modthryth if anybody cares. Also I don't really do anything outside Heaney version because English. Heaney is a hero.

Tempest. Also super problematic because Prospero did some serious Not Good stuff. Also Sycorax and Caliban is pretty much the same vibes as Rubicon parental relationships.

Piranesi. Idk how this happened. But this happened.

Lots and lots of other stuff. The Easter Eggs. Rocky Horror Picture Show coded in a Asoiaf fic. Love love love for the ingenuity and absolute why the heck not attitude.

2023 was an amazing year for me with eldritcher's works. Loved the fics, loved the books they got me hooked on, loved the folks I met reading the fics and the books. It was super brilliant to have a lot of challenging books to read and discuss with other folks/understand different perspectives/see the common patterns and things like that. It's like movie analysis when you can have a lot of fun if you are doing it with the right folks. I feel like it's incredible to enjoy the good parts of a franchise when you have a writer who can work it out. Ossuarium can be technically called Beowulf fanfiction but it's also the best deconstruction of the pseudomedieval fantasy genre/that part of the asoiaf canon I have actually read.

Anyway.

Everything is Beowulf. Also I support Modthyrth Wrongs.

owe it to eldritcher to help me span out from romance only to becoming inspired and invested in a much broader scope of fictional relations

Eldritcher & Me Crying Over Them

Eldritcher reccing my little drabbles I wrote for HP Halloween. Nope. I'm not being awestruck and crying over here. (Yes, I'm still awestruck.) I just respect them so much. 😭 They are a gift to fandom, truly. Their HP fics are just *chef's kiss* and they just finished their epic House of the Dragon fanfic series that I still need to dig in. @consistentsquash wrote an amazing author love letter to Eldritcher and a lovely fic rec post for their Ossuarium's series. Truly, check Eldritcher out. You won't be disappointed.

I wanna draw scenes from the “Kalinka” Series (and it’s companion fics Amandine, The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost and The Old Man of Hoy) by the talented fic writer Eldritcher, who is sorta the reason why I’m even drawing kingsman / the king’s man fan art today, the other reason is Daniel Brühl, he is kinda growing on me 🤔

I am also practicing with fan art to make…more art 🖼

Fic Rec: Dithyramb

Snarry. M. 1k.

Atonement is a bacchanal affair.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

danpuff notes: I cannot express the joy I felt waking up Wednesday morning to an AO3 "A Gift Work For You" email! And for it to be from an author whose work I've fallen so in love with recently!

This is a story about atonement. Not punishment meted out by others, but atonement taken on by a man determined to pay the price of his sins. It is dirty, determined work. And yet...there are things to push forward for.

There is something very sad, but also very powerful, in that need to pay the price of past sins. And there is great joy in seeing it through. And joy in letting go of the burdens that have weighed you down. And joy in reaching for the things (or, the one) one desires. Celebration to be had in being able to live.

Not to mention the author's writing is just plain gorgeous.

Eldritcher, where art thou?

I cannot read one of my favorite collections in AO3. I can no longer read the Song of Sunset AU. :'(
