Title: Into the world, into you

Author: @portraitofemmy [Twitter | AO3] & @propinquitous [AO3] 

Artist: @dreamsparkle [Twitter | AO3]

Summary: The reality of living in a fairy tale land is much less magical than one might like to believe. For twenty years, Quentin has lived a life of hardship and toil, working under the heel of his step-family. But when a chance encounter sends Quentin into the path of the new High King, he finds himself swept up in a lie that threatens them both as they desperately grab for their own happily ever after.

11, 25!

11: fandom you enjoyed writing for the most this year?

mm probably the magicians! the other ones have been fun (for relative definitions of ‘fun’) but it’s nice to have spent enough time writing in a fandom to feel very comfortable writing for it.

25: a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read?

o, empathy by almostnectarine! it’s a witcher fic, and one of the best uses of the bodyswap trope i’ve ever read.

i am fully losing it over here?? i can't be the only former spn person fkcin losing my mind over the recycling of cas' death and associated motifs in s7 vis a vis grief beard, right? i know it doesn't Mean anything but it's heart wrenching. just, sera what the heck

This is gonna be super duper salty and I’ve been trying to keep my Extreme Salt to twitter and discord so uhhhh under a cut this goes.

You are definitely not alone here. I’ve been thinking about this a lot. There are even interviews with Gamble after she killed off Cas where she talks about how she wanted season 7 to be about the boys grieving and dealing with his death that were... almost word for word what she then said about season 5 of The Magicians. I would link but I don’t have the spoons to go searching for sources right now. Like she is literally just recycling her own garbage at this point only making it so much worse by having a mentally ill queer character commit passive suicide?????

Which... god. Imagine recycling your own tired nonsense that you know didn’t work last time and possibly got you fired and then MAKING IT WORSE by piling on a shit load of harmful tropes that have actual real life consequences for your mentally ill queer fanbase. And then... expecting praise from those fans. And pumping up your own ego so big that it can be seen from space in pre-finale interviews because you really think this garbage is something FRESH and NEW and NEVER DONE BEFORE.

And I am full of so many conflicting feelings about other aspects of this right now that it breaks my heart. Because I love Eliot and Hale SO MUCH and I want to enjoy the little things like Grief Beard and this apparently v emotional scene between Eliot and Alice in 5x04 but... it’s all been tainted by what they did to Q and the fact that Q IS NOT THERE and he will never be there again and they cannot be trusted to follow through on their own narrative so everything is ultimately meaningless and whenever I start to allow myself to feel even a teeny tiny bit excited about certain things my own brain slam dunks me back to reality with immediate Dread.

Anyway. Yes. Sera what the heck indeed.

Eventually he learned that if he salted the water enough the resistant texture of a noodle would take on an almost sexual quality of pleasure, the feeling hot and slick between his lips like sucking cock. In his memory now, in the quiet kitchen of his apartment, he bites the spaghetti to test for texture and feels a jolt between his legs.
