I don't do fic recs terribly often, usually just in reblogs. But hey Soul Eater fandom... Especially the Spirit side of the fandom, but the whole fandom in general... You need to know about this fic.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

written by the massively talented @vulturebeetlesnake who has only recently joined the hellsite and doesn't link to their fics here as of yet, y'all need to know...

this is an emotional rollercoaster of the BEST kind, ensemble cast that switches POV between four chars (but the main focus of the story is Maka, Spirit, and Stein), and the writing is absolute genius. pacing is perfect, plot is brilliant, characterizations are perfection.

if you like Soul Eater, and especially if you like Spirit... give this a read. and then read the rest of their masterworks for this fandom, because that is what they are. this writer is a genius and i will shout it from the rooftops.

Do you have any "headcanons" or ideas for soul eater lore, that even if not official, do sound right to you?

Black Star does see Sid and Naigus as parental figures. 

Creating a zombie is actually pretty complicated, hence why we don’t see many others in the series and why Lord Death called in Stein. My headcanon is there was some contingency plan to create zombies in case Lord Death needed one–and Sid volunteered, because he didn’t want to leave Black Star on his own. 

This wasn’t my headcanon, but I agree with ones by others that Liz and Patty probably have different fathers.

This probably isn’t headcanon, so much as using evidence from the text: Tsubaki is only able to use Masamune’s Uncanny Sword form due to their familial connection–seeing as Spirit said how parents and children can soul resonate so easily, so it makes sense that one person can use their sibling’s weapon form so easily. And Liz and Patty are able to wield each other very well, too. 

There are numerous other death-themed restaurants and shops in Death City.

There are other civic leaders in Death City, like a city council, who are more attuned at overseeing city operations, including tourism. 

Before Free became the last survivor (aside from Alone in the video game Monotone Princess), the Immortal Clan included various “breeds,” similar to different types and species of wolves and dogs. 

Blair had siblings. I don’t think they had her magic abilities or the ability to talk. I don’t think things ended up well for them.

Love when a character has two distinct styles of presentation that rules

You know, I still don't really understand how Death the Kid, Maka and Blackstar don't know each other from the beginning of the story.

I mean Spirit has worked with Lord Death for years, so Maka and Kid would be familiar with each other for at least a little before the story takes place, or they would even be childhood friends

And then Blackstar was retrieved by the DWMA as a complete infant and raised by Sid since then, which adds him to the above just the same

I don't know, it just doesn't make sense to me

So the game froze on me but I did manage to get some footage of the intro and whatnot! So enjoy this much! More to come!
