YOU'RE READING PROJECT HAIL MARY!! YOU'RE HAVING EXACTLY THE CORRECT RESPONSE TO ROCKY HE IS THE BEST BOY
HE HAS BEEN ALONE AND WITHOUT HOPE FOR SO LONG
BUT HE'S STILL BEEN RECORDING EVERYTHING AROUND HIM. STILL BEEN DOING WHAT HE COULD DO. FROM BEFORE WHEN THE PERSON WHO COULD USE THE INFORMATION WAS EVEN B O R N. AND HE DIDN'T KNOW. HE THOUGHT IT WAS HOPELESS. BUT HE STILL DID WHAT HE COULD.
One of my favorite Christian fantasy trilogies is the Staff and the Sword by Patrick W Carr. Local town drunk and all around loser becomes the Chosen One against his and everyone else's will (except God's). The magic (such as it is) mostly revolves around the carving of lots to determine the future/God's will. There's some romance but it's mainly styled more like a Historical Epic, and the main character's arc is very satisfying (he's also got a medieval detective trilogy but I've only read the first book. Really need to finish that one)
Arena by Karen Hancock is a fun sci-fi Pilgrim's Progress, though it is closer to your list of Christian Fiction
Ooooooooo thank you for the recs! 👀 I'm definitely Intrigued

Hello darling! 3, 6, and 16 for the Ao3 wrapped?
3. What work of yours got more feedback than you expected? So, I didn't think I had one, and then I checked AO3. .... Apparently I got the most kudos out of any of my AO3-posted fics this year on this fic; less than 400 words, a crossover between Sanctuary and White Collar with a short interaction between a random crossover ship (Ashley Magnus/Neal Caffrey). This was apparently my most popular fic.
Also, my most popular by hits is this Sanctuary family fic, specifically Henry and Helen, which is surprising, because it's fairly low on comments and kudos. 6. Pairing you wrote the most for this year?
Apparently, as far as publishing on AO3, I'm tied: 3 Will Zimmerman/Helen Magnus, and 3 John Druitt/Helen Magnus. As far as published to Tumblr/not published, probably the former. 16. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year? Mmmmmm good question. Maybe Abby Corrigan, just because it's easy to go over-the-top to full sunshine puppy, and forget that she's actually fairly snarky and stuff as well.

Everything Is the Same but Wu is the Grimm AU
Okay, buckle in, here we go!
1. Not long after Wu finds out, he loops Hank in. Because this is just Too Exhausting, and besides, he’s not exactly in a position to handle some of this stuff; that’s more the job of a detective anyway. So the two of them become a team almost immediately.
2. Nick still has a knack for ending up on Wesen cases. There’s no clear reason why. He’s not Wesen, and he’s not a Grimm. But he somehow ends up staring down Wesen OFTEN without knowing it. Wu is constantly having to step in and save him, then come up with off the cuff explanations for the crazy things that happen. But Hank and Wu make it their mission to keep Nick SAFE from this craziness, as much as possible.
3. During a particularly rough case, Wu’s life ends up in danger, and Hank makes the tough call to tell Sean the truth about everything-Wesen, Grimms, etc.-because it’s the only way to save Wu. The problem? Sean absolutely knew Wu was a Grimm, and was trying to keep Wu from finding out he knew. So now he has to play along and act shocked, but he doesn’t have time to act TOO suspicious, because Wu’s life is on the line. ... Sean is Stressed.
4. He’s the one who ends up basically adopting Trubel for awhile, and she teases him relentlessly for being such a “dorky Grimm.”
5. He still gets scratched by the Lycanthrope. He becomes a Were-Grimm. No one messes with him.
Trubel and Nick, ‘So do you guys play good guy/bad guy musical chairs every time I leave or what, 'cause I never know what to expect when I visit.’
"So do you guys play good guy/bad guy musical chairs every time I leave or what, 'cause I never know what to expect when I visit."
Nick blinks, too caught up in... Whatever just happened (he's been talking nonsense for the past two hours, talking about time traveling mirrors and healing sticks and everyone dying,) to register her words immediately. "What do you mean?"
She huffs, plopping down beside him. "Like, when I met you, Adalind was the bad guy, right? Juliette was good, and Renard... He was okay. Then I left, and when I came back, Adalind was apparently good or whatever, and Juliette was trying to kill everybody. Next time, Juliette was good again, kinda, and Renard turned bad. Now Renard's good again?"
He seems to be weighing her words, before giving a huff of laughter. "Yeah, I don't know about that." He glances over to where Renard is sitting on the couch, just out of hearing range, playing with Kelly and Diana. "But I think he's on the right track."
Hopefully it's a long track, because she doesn't think she'll be forgiving him anytime soon. Still, it's nice to know that Meisner wasn't all wrong about the guy.
