It's a treat to see Jamil's thoughts about the whole "going on a date" with Azul, how he didn't want to at first but then he eventually agreed and I like that we see him think that Azul looks good in his date outfit.

They text each other after the date too and the ending is really cute 👀

Anyway here's a sneak-peek of the fic:

Summary by the Author:

By some cruel twist of fate, Idia finds out that his current Discord crush is none other than NRC's resident party animal, Cater Diamond.

Based on that one meme.

Discord Work Skin by Heterochromia_Mars.

What you can expect:

Idia finds out that his long-time Discord buddy who he flirted with sometimes has been Cater all along. They both feel awkward about it at first, but thanks to Cater reaching out and Ortho helping his big brother, Idia and Cater start to become friends in real life too.

I'd never really thought of a Cater/Idia ship, but the premise of this one was interesting especially with the characters involved, and I wanted to see what would happen so I read it, and it's really cute!

I'll be sharing more of my thoughts about it per chapter~

Point of View: Third-person, Azul Ashengrotto and Jamil Viper

Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 3,353

Summary by the Author:

What happens when the "honeymoon phase" of a new relationship begins to wear off, and cracks begin to show?

Azul and Jamil learn to navigate the hardships that come along with a new relationship.

What you can expect:

This fic shows how their relationship is going after a few months, how they interact in-between classes and while they're doing schoolwork with other students, specifically Kalim and Silver. The perspective switches around between Azul and Jamil, so we get to see what they're really thinking and feeling in certain scenes.

There's a sense of underlying angst for most of the story, but like the tags say, there's comfort and a happy ending. They both decide to be honest and communicate properly with each other and it's just beautiful~

In my experience, it's rare to see Jamil be vulnerable and expressive about his feelings even in fics, so I really liked how he was shown to be just that by the end of this one. I think it's still in-character, and I'm glad that he and Azul had learned to trust each other like that. I wasn't expecting the last scene to be that sweet, so I was pleasantly surprised~

Here's a sneak-peek:

Also there's a small scene that SilKali shippers might like~

Fic Rec III: The View from the Top

Author: angst_division

Fandom: Twisted Wonderland

Relationships: Azul Ashengrotto/Jamil Viper

Point of View: Third-person, Azul Ashengrotto

Rating: General Audiences

Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 22,142

Chapters: 1/1

Language: English

Tags by the Author: Fear of Flying, Overthinking, Bickering, Nausea, Sharing Clothes

Summary by the Author:

“I think I get it now,” mused Jamil, who until then had been perching on his own broomstick as if it was nothing more than a park bench. “You were right. You are not afraid of flying…” “Aha!” In a sudden burst of energy, Azul righted himself back up. “I had no doubts you’d come to see things my way—” “It terrifies you.” The rest of what Azul had intended to say, he ended up spluttering in a fit of pique.

The night before the flight test, Azul and Jamil strike an agreement.

What you can expect:

This fic explores some of the details about how broom-flying works while Azul practices by himself and when Jamil teaches him.

Jamil convinces Azul to explain in specific details why he's terrified of flying (even though Azul would never admit that), and Jamil does what he can to help.

OKAY. For real, this is one of my favorite AzuJami fics.

First, Azul's explanation about why he's having such a difficult time with flying makes perfect sense considering his hometown. It's the best explanation I've seen about it, and I wanna incorporate it in my own fics eventually.

And even though the entire fic is from Azul's oblivious perspective, it's well-written so we as readers can still see the moments where Jamil gets affected and flustered by him. And just Azul's perspective in general, I love how it's written. We get a lot of insight about how he sees himself, how he thinks other people see him, and how he sees Jamil.

I still haven't left a comment on this one because I just have a lot of Feelings about it and I still can't properly articulate them 🥲

Once again these are my personal opinions on the fic so I don't know if you'll like it as much as I did, but I hope you enjoy it anyway if you decide to read it~

Fic Rec VII: It takes two (to hold hands)

Summary by the Author:

Forced into physical proximity with his annoying classmate, Jamil Viper comes to an alarming conclusion.

What to expect:

Almost the entire fic takes place in their classroom, and the Leech twins play an important role in the turn of events.

There's little dialogue and most of the fic consists of Jamil's internal monologue, so readers really get to know what Jamil is thinking and feeling with each development in the situation. (In short, we get to see every moment of Jamil being flustered.)

I found this fic while I was scrolling through Tumblr right before I was planning to sleep, and I saw that it was just a short one so I thought why not read some AzuJami content before I sleep.

I was pleasantly surprised that it was entirely from Jamil's perspective because I always like to see him Pining and Flustered about Azul.

So if you ship them and you feel like reading something short and sweet, I recommend this one. You can read it while taking a break from work or when you want to read a cute fic but don't have the energy to read for a long time.

Whatever your reason, I think this is definitely worth the read for any AzuJami/JamiAzu/AshenViper shipper. Here's a sneak-peek:

Fic Rec XI: so i'll dance with Cinderella, Chapter 1: Unfortunate Revelations

Main post

Thoughts on Chapter 1 (minor spoilers)

Idia's Discord friend hasn't messaged him in a while and he's worried that they found someone a lot more interesting to talk to.

He realizes that maybe he enjoys talking to that friend more than he thought he did.

Here's a screenshot of that bubbling pining:

Who would have thought that before the end of the day, he would find out that friend's identity IRL?

Fic Rec XI: so i’ll dance with Cinderella, Chapter 2: pleasedon'ttalktome

Main post

Thoughts on Chapter 2 (minor spoilers)

Idia begins to make plans on how to avoid Cater Diamond forever, and Ortho shows up to ask Idia what's been going on with him.

Ortho is already adorable in his first appearance in this fic. He evidently cares about Idia a lot and wants to know why he seems so upset. Idia doesn't look like he wants to talk about it, though.

Either way, it's nice to see Ortho being involved now. We know he'll be there to help and support Idia, and Idia really needs it.

Fic Rec VIII: The Small Things

source: https://archiveofourown.org/works/38368519

Author: LiquidSpirits

Fandom: Our Flag Means Death

Relationships: Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet

Point of View: Third-person, Edward Teach

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 1,390

Chapters: 1/1

Language: English

Tags by the Author: Fluff, Domestic Fluff, Implied Sexual Content, Sharing a Bed, Endearments, Crack, Crack Treated Seriously, Post-Canon

Summary by the Author:

Ed sat up in a start, staring wide-eyed at the fucking bastard who'd found a way to sneak into the room. Probably after eating holes through every damn scrap of food they had. And then it had the nerve to stand up on its hindlegs and sniff the air as if Ed was the one scheming, as if it wouldn't have crawled into his sleeve and done gods knew what, eaten his flesh or something, if he hadn't seen it first. Ed knew what those fucks did to dead bodies; who said this thing wasn’t manic with starvation and would make an exception, that it wouldn’t tackle the two of them while they were very much alive?

///

Or: Ed is not scared of a singular rat in the bedroom. Stede knows this, of course, but helps anyway.

What you can expect:

Most of the fic is Ed's internal monologue about how he feels about Stede and their life together, and the entire fic is set in their shared room.

Ed is comfortable being vulnerable in his thoughts, and overall the fic has a soft and peaceful atmosphere.

I like that the fic consists of Ed basically acknowledging and appreciating his life with Stede and how comfortable they are with each other. Ed deserves to have such peaceful thoughts. I really like how it's written in a way that we can see that Ed is learning to accept his softer sides, and that Stede's presence is helping him with that.
