#redacted recs

[ejunkiet]

it's nearly spooky month again, and I just want to shout out one of my favourite imperium series, that explores how Milo and Sweetheart come together in the imperium. It's just goddamn stunning okay ;u;

[frenchiefitzhere]

i am so desperate for a fic of prime!damn crew meeting imperium!damn crew 😭 (especially Lasko idk why I feel liked it’s the scariest change)

Ooooo that sounds so cool I can recommend THIS fic by my friend @tepid-judas It's not exactly what you're looking for and it's only some of the crew (amongst other characters) but it's a series of letters from Imperium characters to their canon homologues (and vice versa in some cases).

And Imperium Lasko is the scariest change because a) he has SO MUCH power and b) it makes you wonder how long it will take him to realize that in canon and FLEX

end of year round up (rec list!)

rec lists are a forgotten art in fandom, and I've read so many good fics this year. below are a few of my favourites, although I'll stick with one from each author!

redacted audio - full ao3 bookmarks (94)

- burn me, Asher/Damien by @dominimoonbeam

this was my first bookmark, and it remains one of my favourites. the dynamic is just, so good. ash balances out damien so well. (domini we love all of your work <33)

- I'm out of my element, HuxDami by @jonbinary

set immediately post inversion, and got me on this TRAIN before canon was a thing. Just, gorgeous and tender writing ;u;

- old number seven, Sam/Darlin by @devilbunnyking

Gods, this was stunning. slow rolling tension, sharing a whiskey and plugging tunes in the juke box. Beautiful exploration of both of them!!

- apple and honey, Milo/Sweetheart (18+) by @onesmallcentury

Any redacted reclist would be incomplete without this MASTERPIECE okay. Gods, I cannot count how many times I've reread this. Delicious, gorgeous <3

- refractions, Gavin/Freelancer by @solclaw

The emotional slow burn of those early dates. Just, goddamn stunning. I could curl up in your writing forever, beanie ;u;

- commit it to memory, Huxley/Freelancer by @sealriously-sealrious

honestly, want to link all your writing here Chrys, but this is Huxley! With tattoos!! And @taelonsamada 's gorgeous art!!! MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

- SWEET TALK, Milo/Sweetheart by @gingerbreadmonsters

this whole series is a MASTERPIECE. the dynamics!! The banter!! It makes me melt okay. all your writing is lovely, but this series holds a special place in my heart <3

- Signs Point to Yes, Milo/Sweetheart (18+) by @wakeupnew

On the subject of Milo and SH, this story has been living rent free in my mind for the last few weeks. The eight ball quotes! AGGRO! The dynamic of these two are just perfect, dealing with the inversion aftermath, and it's just gorgeous.

- fill my heart with song (and let me sing), Milo/Sweetheart (18+) by @autisticempathydaemon

Again on the subject of these two, I absolutely loved this fic. I love all of Lexi's work, but this was delicious 😚💖

- Let's make this night last forever (forever and ever), Milo/Sweetheart (18+) by @glassbearclock

Okay, this FIC. ALL OF BEAN'S MILO FICS. It's a beautiful chronology, but this one is just, fecking fantastic.

- ad astra (per aspera), Avior/Starlight by @lvllns

Starlight and Avior break out of the meridian. Gods, this is absolutely stunning. I love Reed's work, and I'm so very happy I got them into redacted >:3

- An Angel In Wolf's Clothing, David/Angel (no Tumblr?)

FINALLY David makes it onto this list. I've read this story SO MANY TIMES. Gorgeous early revelation exploration, where Davey tells Angel that he's a wolf.

- return to shore, imp!David/angel by @taelonsamada

THE IMPERIUM AU OF MY DREAMS. Giving David and Sam the chance they never had to find happiness in the Imperium. SO PERFECT ;u;

- phases of you, David/angel (no Tumblr! 18+)

Gods, this is one of my favourite redacted fics. Reimagines David and angel's relationship if Angel was a wolf, and they were mated before Gabe died. Long fic!! Had me obsessed for a weekend. Still obsessed hehehe

- (Gonna make you) howl, David/Angel (18+) by @romirola

>:3 Romi's work is gorgeous, and I recommend all of her fics, but THIS FIC. Angel pampers David, and it is GORGEOUS.

- Halley's comet, Elliot/Sunshine (no Tumblr)

GORGEOUS. There are not enough Elliot/Sunshine fics!!! Elliot asks sunshine for 7 days to prove that he is a dream walker.

- California nights, Milo/Sweetheart (18+) by @thee-morrigan

Again, I love Katie's writing, and this is no exception. DELICIOUS 😚💖💖

Throwback Thursday

Pulling up older fics that maybe never got the attention they deserved

This isn’t mine (although I may have given @teafairywithabook a prompt). But it’s heartbreakingly beautiful and just sets up how special what Gavin and Freelancer have actually is.

Good soup.

Also tagging @ejunkiet @glassbearclock @autisticempathydaemon @gingerbreadmonsters @starlitangels if you wanna put us in the WABAC Machine and summon something up from the archives (of…our…you know)

@horrorscoupes​ JUST SO YOU KNOW, I AM THINKING OF YOUR FIC RIGHT NOW, WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL READING THIS BTW

 starving, i'm wasted by vindemiator (misuaki) - imp!baby/ivan

[ejunkiet]

I am OBSESSED with this Angel/David fic on ao3 that explores how David reveals the truth about himself and the magical world to Angel. It's soft, it's tender, it's SPICY and you should absolutely read it. <3
