Me, daily:

[gl1tched-g0th]

Quick it's 10pm post about how you still miss your source friends even tho its been almost 4 whole years and you will ever not miss the game nights and sporadic hangouts you experienced with them and truthfully speaking with yourself there will always be a missing piece within you knowing you'll never see them again and you have frequent dreams of just Existing next to them sometimes because of how much the loss of them has impacted you

[maleficore]

"I only have one Dragon Age worldstate!" I exclaim, proudly displaying my singular Keep tapestry while hiding a second not-canon-compliant monstrosity behind my back.

Highkey stealing this idea from @holdmecloser-gandydancer, but I think it's neat, so it's okay. I went through my bookmarks tab on ao3 and picked a few of my favorites that I've read this year, though they haven't all necessarily been written this year!!

big note: Some of these might have darker themes, so please check the tags before reading! I won't be @-ing the authors, mainly because I don't know all their tumblrs, or if they even all have tumblrs. I will, however, be linking the ao3 along with the fic! Also, the likely hood that I've recommended these sometime earlier is very likely, so if you see something I've mentioned before, just know it's very good.

wrong side of reality by taakofromtaz (octolingkiera)

Taako has an imaginary friend named Lup. This one broke my heart into little pieces and put it back together again in the last few sentences.

Letters to No One by Hinn_Raven

Lucretia writes letters to members of the Starblaster crew over the years full of things she couldn't say to them, then. Beautifully written and painful, in the good way!!

By The Book by Mmmarty

Barry is a professor who prefers to teach in theory rather than in practice. Lup is a professor who prefers to teach in practice rather than in theory. But they have to try to see eye-to-eye or risk losing both their jobs!! This one is so good, you all have no idea.

Death As The Family Business by Weevilo707

A very impactful and in-character Kravitz- adopts-Angus-AU. Seeing Angus learning to manage both his Death Powers and his dad falling in love with the guy who threw him off a train.

I'd Sooner Set Myself on Fire by TooOceanBlue

Lup is Barry's patron. She enlists him with an incredibly important task: Being her date for her family dinner. This fic makes me smile every time and I go back to it a lot when I need a cheer-me-up.

Bureau of Badass by Chemicallywrit, miceenscene

This fic was recommended to me (though I can't remember by who aaa!!) and I can't recommend it more to everyone else. It's got action! It's got romance! It's got drama! It's got rollerblading!! Each character gets their own little storyline!!

all the problems that you made in your own head by Voidfish

Barry's got a lot of scars. This amazing fic brings up quite a few of them.

The Red Robes by HeartHarps

Taako and Lup are recruited for the biggest heist in Faerûn history. In the meantime, they get to know their team and work their asses off to prepare. Things fall apart a little bit, but nothing the Professor can't fix. I was on the edge of my seat every time this was updated and it's been finished!! This year!! It deserves so much more love than the little it's gotten!!

Regulations by Pep_Squad_Levi

When I say this fic hits, it HITS. For me, it's a canon Davenport origin story. It follows his life from birth to nearly the end of the podcast and it could not be better. Well worth the read.

Carrying Sound by Clare_Hope

Sound carries on the Coriolis. This includes Urchin and the bubbling of Zoox in the Ethersea water. But it also includes crying. This is so heartwarming and sweet, I can't recommend it enough.

Writing Fodder by BlueMoonHound

I spent weeks searching for this fic when I accidently forgot to bookmark it. We follow Lucretia and her work as her writing, and how she views her lives experiences as nothing more than writer fodders.

Magnus Hugs His Way to the Top of Fantasy NASA and Gets Launched into Space by blueshine

Pretty much what it says, tbh! Magnus works his way up to getting onto the IPRE mission, making friends with pretty much everyone along the way.

Rites of Regulation by Grabbingatpowerandkissingit

Still one of the most impactful fics I've read. To put it simply, the Bureau members mourn who they have lost.
