Hey do you have any Coyote Stark centric fic recs? One of your latest asks got me curious

tbh most of my coyote starrk love came from this user : aria6 who has a TON of them. lots of oneshots, some longer works, etc etc.

They seem to have left the fandom in 2015 so everything that's not complete is gonna stay that way, but DANG the imagination.

also wrote some grimmichi :3

First Line Game

Rules: List the first lines of the last ten (10) stories you published. Look to see any patterns you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any. Then tag some friends.

--

1. The moon was high but waning, a crescent too thin to outshine the stars. ( The Thirteenth Hour )

2. Madara's daemon settled early. A lot of them did, at war. His Kuyuri settled the night they brought back his eldest brother's lone corpse and said he had died bravely. Kuyuri was black and sinuously necked and proud, beak and eyes as red as a sharingan. A bird, of course. Not a raptor, a bit more of a surprise -- but nobody had ever praised a swan for its docility. ( Idiots Of Unusual Size )

3.  "Madara. Thank you for coming." 

Madara planned on taking it to his grave, but he had once or twice, on maudlin evenings, indulged in wondering how it would go if he and his estranged childhood friend got to meet at the river again. How Hashirama's voice would sound (overjoyed, surprised, annoyingly casual?), how much he would babble, how ridiculous he would act.

That quiet, reserved tone hadn't featured in any of it. ( Days on a wire )

4. “I can’t believe you went behind my back to arrange–” ( murdering your uncle for fun and profit )

5.  “I didn’t even manifest you into your own body until at least the midpoint of his heat! That’s six or seven fucking times–” ( ABO crack ficlet )

6. "It's a sacrilege," Madara had pointed out to the gathered elders. "It tramples the laws of hospitality and spits in the face of every god or spirit boasting of even a single piddly road shrine in this country." ( blood rare and sweet as cherry wine )

7. There's a barrier around the house, but it's not made to stop an Espada.( Howling Outside Your Door ) 

8. "You're late, Brother!" 

Yuzu emerged from the darkness with ladle in hand. Ichigo yelled, in a manly fashion. ( superhero love triangle )

9. Something was pawing at her shield. 

"Nooo, mister Croissant, we close at seven..." Orihime mumbled into the fluffy hood of her sleeping bag, and laboriously turned over onto her other side. ( Oxytocin )

10. The train car dedicated to bigger daemons has its regulars. ( let's go and throw all the songs we know into the sea )

--

Okay, I like either opening with dialogue or “ok so this is totally gonna be a oneshot so here’s me hitting you with the premises in the first actual sentence so we don’t waste time. you’re welcome.”

apart from the spooky one with tobirama breaking the spacetime continuum for his brothers which has a very despairing and half out of it with exhaustion feel anyway so that was just setting the mood or something. XD

i tag... anyone who thinks it sounds like fun!

Heyhey! I was the anon who messaged you a month or so ago about using your names for Sabigata and Kijitora in fic. Posted that with a link to Cherry Wine in the author notes, hope that’s alright >.< If you prefer any other form of credit please let me know! And thank you so much once again <3 <3 <3

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i saw this! and was like oh yay awesome i will have to read it when i have more spoons!!

and then i forgot

and then i saw it again!!!

and then guess what i once again forgot.

BUT NOW!

now it's 11 pm and also bedtime. but i --

oh right.

i. i'm gonna try. but i don't read deathfic and you managed to off my guy, so like, if this is a miraculous resurrection story please spoil me or something because i'm gonna cry ;_;

anyway if anyone else is intrigued it's here.

Can we see your top 5 favourites from your own fics?

oh man. favorites right now? it changes with the weeks i stg.

5. Bloodsport (grimmichi scifi-ish AU, WIP, i’ve been working on the plotting recently! just gotta find a good way to deal with the HUGE amount of offscreen backstory.)

4. Crash Standing (davesprite/karkat post-game, multiparter AND complete!! i wrote that one by the seat of my pants instead of losing myself in planning and worry and it worked super well somehow. it’s adorable and it was funny to write, homestuck canon is ridiculous sometimes which, good. also i managed to complete something for once in my life.)

3. Mercy Lives Not in the Holly (agatha heterodyne on a revenge spree, psychic wolves AU, oneshot, part of a WIP series. i am still super proud of the emotional punch in that one and also that i managed to complete something for twice in my life. also, psychic wolves.)

2. cherry wine (madara/tobirama/izuna weird ABO, WIP, atm the one that lives rent-free in my head)

1... drumrolls plz.... Midnight on the Demon Patrol  (T^T davekat urban fantasy summoner/demon AU, WIP. very slow progress. like ten words a year progress. but oh my baby.)

honorary “fic”, everything i wrote AND everything adi wrote for Heterodyne!Sorin FanFanFic sorin heterodyne universe. is it still a fanfic when it’s a fanfic of my friend’s fanfic of my OWN fanfic that was so centered around OCs to start with that you don’t even need to know a thing about girl genius AND i like it better than my own original fic tho. also adi and i were basically each other’s beta/idea giver/bouncing ball for all of it, so even with a single official writter it’s still pretty collaborative.

double honorary, the The Landlord ofic, for being an ofic of a fanfic of my fanfic and also the sweetest, most gentle romance i ever wrote, BUT not actually being a fanfic. sevan/mikhail is just so damn sweet, guys ;;

[asukaskerian]

Askerian: ... adi i'm watching this anime and there's this massive warrior guy coming in to flex on the newbie heroes (mostly the sasuke analogue) and then he's like "ok tell me your type of women! your taste in women tells me everything about the kind of guy you are! men with boring tastes are boring themselves and i hate nothing more than boring men. btw it's fine if you prefer guys. btw my taste is tall women with big asses." Askerian: i'm dead Askerian: this guy's hilarious and i love that he was like "ok you can also be gay that's at least not boring"

adiduck: XDDDDDDDDDDD

Askerian: then the Sasuke is like "as long as they're a virtuous person i don't really care what they look like" and immediately "BORING."

Askerian: seriously this manga reads like if someone came up with a naruto fanfic at age fourteen like what if they were exorcists and has been working on it for ten years and now it's entirely its own thing but you can see the bones everywhere

((even more spoilers inside!))

Askerian: "kakashi if he was actually 700% more of a troll" "sasuke if he was actually just awkward and not stupid with his revenge issues" "sakura if she was actually inner sakura nonstop" "naruto with pink hair and a BIT less stupid" "kyuubi if he was human and terrifyingly fuckable" Askerian: also i really like that in this manga a lot of the girls are really scary and some are complete hardasses etc and they actually do shit Askerian: i mean, it's a shonen/seinen so the focus is still on guy hero and guy mentor and guy rivalfriend but Askerian: oh yeah and also there is sexual tension between kyuubi guy and sasuke guy

adiduck: but the girls are not brushed aside? nice

Askerian: yussss Askerian: also no compulsory het bullshit >> Askerian: ... also adi, main guy has an evil spirit that looks Just Like Him sealed inside him

adiduck: ...welp adiduck: so yeah it's Naruto

Askerian: guy sits on a throne of bones and cackles crazily and/or sneers disdainfully at weaklings Askerian: well he only looks like him because possession but Askerian: also he wasn't born with it Askerian: but yes Askerian: i told you it reads like someone dusted off their super involved exorcists AU and made it an ofic XD Askerian: except it's not afraid to have its girls do un-dainty and hella fucking violent things >_>

adiduck: Good

Askerian: also kakashi-like is actually godmode XD

Askerian: allowed to make crazy faces ;;

adiduck: niiiice

Askerian:

adiduck: ...okay yeah it's inner sakura

Askerian: usually she's not disheveled like that but she's always abrasive and childish and hilarious Askerian: also not!sasuke works with shikigami which means. he has! wolves! and giant owls! and they're PARTNERS and sometimes he PETS THEM GENTLY Askerian: also a giant white snake and things

adiduck: :OOOOOOO adiduck: GOOD

Askerian: XD yesss Askerian: also he has a tragic past but it's not "his life was perfect until bro went crazy". he's some kind of bastard child and his dad's at best negligent? i forgot, been a while since i read that part Askerian: like he's related to some Big Name family in the exorcist world but he only looked like he'd be worth bringing back in when he manifested powers and before that he had a pretty ehh childhood Askerian: and after that, still a pretty ehh childhood tbh because they're all jerks in the family

adiduck: :frowning:

Askerian:

naruto and kyuubi appreciating each other

adiduck: :DDDDDDDDDD

Askerian: o btw pink/rose hair on the guy. looks nice Askerian:

Askerian: look at that pompous jerk XD

adiduck: lol

Askerian:

Askerian: making looking down his nose at people into his day job Askerian: i love him Askerian: ok i'll stop

adiduck: it looks really fun XDDDD

Askerian: it is! ^^ Askerian: ... wow, the inner world where not kyuubi is locked up even has ankle deep water as a floor

adiduck: LOL

Askerian: anyway there's only twenty-two works in english in the not narto/not kyuubi tag Askerian: >_> Askerian: i have officially read them all.

I've been enjoying yiur fics for years now and they got re-read as a way to cope with the pandemic, so thank you ❤. I am curious: what's the fic you enjoyed writing most this year?

ahh, thank you #^^#

ok so... i didn’t write much this year. :/ counting only the fics i STARTED this year, that’s :

girl genius: murdering your uncle for fun and profit  (silly valois cousins bonding via murder ficlet.)

Bleach / grimmichi has ABO crack ficlet  (what it says on the tin),   Howling Outside Your Door (also ABO crack but NOT a ficlet!), superhero love triangle  which is a super fun concept but might never ever get another chapter and def not an actual PLOT and PLANNED ENDING,

Naruto of all goddamned dead fandoms comes in as a surprise contender with  blood rare and sweet as cherry wine which, surprise, ANOTHER ABO thing?!! with completely “asuka why. how.” worldbuilding and tobirama being a complete troll.

And... that’s it for this year.

(Oxytocin (grimmichihime cuddle drugs) was first posted in august of last year. that’s four chapters in fourteen months. i mean i love the concept but uuugh come out fasteeeeer. and when will Bloodsport come back from the war. last update in january. cries. i love the worldbuilding and setup so much but every time i even think about it another plot twist and seven potential chapters three of which direrctly contradict each other try to get added in.)

yeah, so the winner is the naruto fic, for being sexy, dynamic, and COMPLETE (though the sequel to tie up all those loose ends somehow ALSO keeps adding “but wouldn’t it be cool if...” i don’t care it’s not posted it doesn’t count.) i wrote it so fast and the worldbuilding was so damn fascinating to figure out.

runner up is the bleach ABO with pack cuddles, it’s just so. so comfy and safe and sexy. aaahhhhhhhh. every chapter is full of more excuses to write grimmjow pining without knowing he’s pining, and if i didn’t keep being sidetracked i could even maybe actually finish it this year, too!!!! (ha. ha.) in which case it might just take over first place. Hmmmm. HMMM. >___>
