rayllum fic recs

disclaimer: as always, these are just my preferences and i’m sure there are loads of fics i’ve missed / have not gotten around to fully reading yet, but these are the ones i remembered / are recent in my history and likes. i’m also sure there are people on ao3 who are also here on tumblr, and i just forgot the connection, so sorry if you’re not tagged alongside your fic! beyond this list 

i also have a general fic recs tag on my blog too! some of them made their way onto this list, but i’m sure some didn’t, so feel free to give that and my general “fic” tag a look too! all of these are rated either t+ or gen. 

i hope all of you enjoy some of them as you bring in the new year, and make sure to leave them all really lovely comments <3 enjoy!

multi-chap

First Step to the Future: 2 chapters, 8k, complete. rayla and callum go to janai and amaya’s wedding and reflect on the past, present, and future. super sweet and has rayla call callum sunshine. put it on my gravestone. 

Moonberries and Ghosts: 1+ chapters (out of 6), 3.9k, ongoing. a really promising start of rayla going back to the silvergrove for the first time with callum for her birthday. ethari is best dad. 

Peace Is A Journey by @tenspontaneite: 13+ chapters, 176.9k, ongoing. canon divergence of s1 that boils down to katolis and the continent being much larger than it was in canon, and therefore takes a lot more time to cross. fantastic characterization, spellbinding worldbuilding, and probs my fave ongoing tdp fic rn. great trio and rayllum dynamic. manages to make reading about putting up a tent interesting. hear that? it’s me screaming about this fic. please read it.

Return to Katolis: 7+ chapters, 23.5k, ongoing. callum and rayla are back in katolis for the first time since the end of the war. ezran pov and shenanigans ensue. super sweet and great trio dynamic and rayllum fluff

Sides of the Moon by @kuno-chan: 21+ chapters, 105.9k, ongoing. you all knew this had to be here. lots of great worldbuilding, elven assassins, slowburn rayllum build, and chilling villains. i am both scared and delighted every time it updates.

oneshots

And If You’re Gone Tomorrow (What Was Ours Still Will Be): 22.5k, modern high school au. rayla is an exchange student who befriends callum. the slow build of their friendship/relationship, how all the characters are woven into it, the characterization itself. 100% one of my favourite oneshots ever, and in my top five rayllum fics easy. 

Always There to Catch You: post s3, 4.3k. rayla has a nightmare about the fall, because callum comforting her in any way caters specifically to me, obviously.

butterflies: 5.6k, edging into more decidedly t+ territory here and there. rayllum’s relationship progression over the years through kisses.

fever dreams: 1.3k, rayla gets sick and callum takes care of her.

growing pains: 2k, rayla experiences some growing pains with her horns. callum is curious and comforting as always.

honey, you’re familiar by @mimosaeyes: 2.6k, very sweet with some nice worldbuilding thrown in there, as callum helps rayla draw new moonshadow markings on.

if she calls you an idiot, you’re a lucky man: 2.6k, cute first kiss rayllum fluff. 

of braids and questions: 2.3k, callum braids rayla’s hair. of course this is here.

The Greatest Treasure: 4.3k with some slight angst. rayla finds the bag of coins at the foot of the storm spire. 

To Build A Home: 5.6k, a rayllum proposal fic with some holiday fluff. adorable and i cried, 10/10 would recommend

Warmth by @deetheteadrinkingdragon: 4.1k, featuring cuddling at the storm spire just after s3, with janaya and rayllum. very sweet and fluffy and will leave you feeling as warm as the title indicates. 

who said it wasn’t easy (you make everything so easy) @mimosaeyes: 4.9k, rayllum + slowburn and callum’s scarf and non linear storytelling. delicious. 

you could hold moonlight in your hand: post-s1, au as of s2. the trio stays in an inn. rayla has nightmares.

Honestly I'm so glad your cats are friends, just wanted to drop by to congratulate you on that because having such nice intros and ending up with a pair of cats that are genuine buddies is so miraculous. Congrats on your sons getting along.

Thank you! Kepler does bother Dave a bit sometimes (as kittens do) but Dave has been taking it all in stride. I’m really so glad they get along as well as they do. It makes life so much easier for all of us haha

Thank you!

Another fanart for @tenspontaneite‘s Paper Cranes fanfic.

I always wanted to draw Hikaru & Utagawashi’s first meeting, maybe because I want to try drawing the Kariginu and tate-eboshi (Kamo No Akira and Konoe No Hikaru crossed my mind). Also the Shinto shrine.

The image of Utagawashi in my head is “careful, a bit timid Kannushi but nevertheless a pretty normal-looking man”, so I tried to draw him as such. His expression here is anything but normal though. Probably because he saw Hikaru like this due to Hikaru’s circumstances:

Sorry for the small-res... it was supposed to be just doodles anyway. Might as well my only digital inktober. As I thought, I love black and white the most. A for updates of my own life, I’ll put it on the tags where it belongs.

Bonus: Shindou Hikaru and Utagawashi Kichirou’s budding friendship

"New" fanart for tenspontaneites Paper Cranes. ( I had it finished a month ago, but thought I would get around to taking some better pictures - I did not.) This time it's Setsu in his embodied form. After long struggle I have decided tk leave out Hikaru completely. Even his hands. (Picture 3 is my first attemps on the hospital scene when chapter 22 first came out. 😅 It took some time, and several scene compositions) Thanks to spontaneite for: 1. writing Paper Cranes and with it one of the best Hikago fanfics 2. answering to all my pestering about Hikarus hands, and Setsus appearance as best as they could If you haven't read Paper Cranes (What I doubt), read it now!! If you don't know Hikaru no Go , read/watch it now!! If you don't play Go/Igo/Weiqi/Baduk, play it now!! On the internet or see if there is any meeting in you area. It is amazing!
