Always Only You
hi 💙
i just finished posting this, and it means a lot to me.
it’s about loving someone, losing that version of them,
and still finding your way back.
if you read it, I hope it stays with you a little.
@elwinglyre
My original fiction. Please give it some love. It’s on Wattpad (click link under the image for story).
TITLE: Rewriting Singularity: A paranormal Gay Romance
Summary: All sitcom writer Jacob Grey wanted was story credit. Instead his partner betrays him above and below the covers: He steals Jake’s pilot, sells it to ABC, and sleeps with their bimbo agent. That’s when Jake leaves and ends up at a quirky Green Bay bed and breakfast. Nothing at the bed and breakfast is normal.
Jake’s confounded by mysterious bangs and clangs inside the walls, and how despite writer’s block, his new sitcom writes itself while he sleeps. He’s not even sure if the owners are human. But he is sure there’s something about one of the owners. Hector Lodge, the man Jake calls Mr. Mumbles, is one big secret–a secret Jake wants to know better.
When Jake sneaks into a hidden passageway between the walls to learn more about Mr. Mumbles, he finds more than a bedroom. A music box plays just for him with a journal tucked inside that he’s drawn to read. A story unfolds that binds two strangers’ pasts with his present. After Mr. Mumbles confronts Jake about his snooping, he confides in Jake. Yes, the house is haunted, and yes, the journals could answer why. But when Jake hires two private investigators to uncover information about the journal’s author, Jake also has them secretly look into Hector’s past. What they discover unravels the family’s hidden history and links them to the man who haunts them.
REWRITING SINGULARITY (62,680 words) is an adult fiction with multi-genre, magical realism twist and gay protagonist with Walter Mitty’s imagination.
Graphic cover by Sammy Clay
Rating: Mature audience

That One Time You Met a Fish Man Dude
Pairing: Namor x Female Reader
Summary: Your parents are presumed dead. Suddenly you have the chance to find out what happened all those years ago, all you have to do is go on a deep sea dive. What could go wrong?
Note: this was a complete fever dream writing session. Not beta’d, possibly many gramatical errors. I am not a diver so let’s pretend what I wrote makes sense. Please be kind. Mind the tags, this is just the start.
Chapter 1
“They’re gone” the officer says with a gentleness that you hadn’t expected.
After the seemingly countless phone calls and case updates over the past few weeks he’s kinder than anyone else they’ve sent.
Either that or your memories of the Marine Corps and the Military’s reputation are very very wrong. Perhaps it’s both. Still, his voice is steady and his expression sure. “I’m sorry for your loss” final
The compassion in his voice is terrible to hear.
You focus on the buttons of his uniform, desperately looking away from his knowing gaze so full of compassion, or worse, pity. You’d known that hope could sometimes be a cruel thing. You hadn’t expected a stranger’s kindness to be just as sharp.
After the clinical one sided conversations and pitying looks you’ve grown used to over the last couple of months, this is somehow worse. You have to take several deep breaths before finally looking up and praying that your voice doesn’t break. “Thank you”, you focus your gaze somewhere left of his shoulder.
Several long seconds pass and eventually you have to accept that he’s said all that he will. By the time you bring yourself up to look at him and say goodbye he’s already walking to his car.
—————————Seven Years Later———————-
Parker, the Lead Researcher stood, or at least he tried to, at the front of the briefing room. He was giving the final update for today’s dive.
The forecast had promised clear skies and calm seas, the perfect weather for a marine exploration. Just then, as if the sea had been listening to Parker droning on about water pressure safety protocols and god knows what else, a huge wave crashes against the side of the ship sending him skittering half way across the room.
With a deep sigh and an air of resignation Parker calles the meeting off and instructs the team to be ready in exactly one hour.
“If you could please stay for a moment?”
Parker’s voice rings out as several wolf whistles echo through the hallway. You can’t help the smile that blooms across your face.
“Of course”
As you start to walk to the front of the room Parker sits down and starts to fidget with his glasses, a nervous habit he’s had since you were kids.
It’s endearing, the way he still acts as if he’s about to ask you out for the first time, as if you hadn’t woken up in his bed this morning.
“Hey, why are you nervous? I’m the one whose going down there you know” you say with a teasing smile as you move closer, resting your hands on his shoulders.
Instead of answering he tilts his head to look at you expectantly. You’d been expecting this, you had, in fact, been avoiding this very same conversation since you’d signed up for the expedition. “I have to know” you say in a low whisper.
“I have to try. Maybe if I go down there and I find what’s left of them I can move on, I can stop searching, I can stop wondering”
Instead of answering Parker places his hands on your wrists and slowly traces them up your arms leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake, stopping at your shoulders to gently guide you down onto his lap. “
It’s been 7 years, there might not be anything down there, we’re not even sure this is the right place”
Logically you’ve known this all along, but you can’t stop believing, feeling that what you’ve been looking for is down there. When Parker had shown up at your apartment a year ago with news that part of the military ship your parents were on had been found you’d been furious.
You’d tried so hard to move on, to forget. But it was no use, you couldn’t stop thinking about it, obsessing over finally finding out what happened, or even just seeing where they disappeared. It was like they were calling you. So, you’d called Parker and told him you wanted to be part of the exploration team and now it was finally time.
“Hey” Parker’s voice pulls you out of your thoughts and back to the present. “You know, I was thinking that maybe after this we could take a break…”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah, maybe find a house near the beach somewhere so you can swim to your heart’s content and I can try and do more than pink up”
Parker’s smile as he talks is warm like the sun. “Maybe we can get a dog, lay about till we’re tired of it”
“I’d like that” you say and you’re surprised to find that you actually mean it. It’s been so long since you felt like you belonged anywhere, with anyone.
“And what else would we do?” You say ass you slowly lean in. It’s a distraction, you know it and so does Parker.
But that’s the thing about Parker, he’s always known what you needed even when you didn’t.
“Oh I’m sure we can think of a couple of things” Parker whispers into your neck as he moves his hands down your chest and around your back to cup the swell of your ass and pushes you down into his already hardening cock.
Even through your clothes you feel him pushing up just into the right spot making you groan into his shaggy hair. You have hold onto his shoulders as he starts to rock up into you, he’s so much taller than you, it’s one of your favorite things about him.
He makes you feel like he could hide you from the whole world.
Soon Parker starts to trail kissed down your neck, lightly biting down where your neck meets your shoulder just like he knows drives you crazy. You can feel yourself getting wetter by the second, soon Parker is picking up speed and sneaking one hand under your shirt making you desperate to feel him on you and in you. You start to claw at his shirt, wanting to feel his skin against yours
“PARKER! We need you to come inspect the diving equipment!”
You both freeze looking directly at the door holding your breath.
“I’m not coming in there!” Matt’s voice sounds like he’s trying very hard not to laugh.
You can’t help it, you really try but you just end up giggling into Parkers shoulder. “Yeah! I’ll be right there!” Parker yells back looking down where you’re still seated on his lap “in five minutes!” This time you hear Matt laugh as he walks away.
————————when it all when tits up———————
“200 meters”
Parker’s voice comes through your helmet and you smile.
The descent down is a slow one, you’re the only one in a regular wet suit. You’re the only one who doesn’t need the protective equipment. Instead you’re tethered to Matt’s heavy duty deep sea diving suit so you can save your energy during the descent and the trip back up to the surface.
“250 meters, your vitals are steady, heart rate is staring to drop and your oxygen levels are rising”
Parker has always been fascinated by how your body adjusts, always wanting to monitor and understand.
It’s a bit annoying to be honest.
“366 meters, pressure is approaching 550.5 PSI. How are you feeling?”
Parker sounds worried, and you can’t blame him.
It’s not that you can’t feel the pressure building, because you do and it’s fucking uncomfortable. The thing is that soon your body will adjust and it wont seem so bad anymore. You’ve had enough of not feeling like you don’t fit in without having to explain to people what your body does, how there’s this one thing that makes you different than them.
So you simply say “I’m fine Parker, Matt is dropping us like a rock”
“Hey! I’ll have you know that I am at my optimum weight and we’re descending at the appropriate speed” comes Matt’s reply through radio.
Soon what little light was able to filter through the ocean is gone.
For a moment the only lights are those of your team’s suits. You can feel the pressure building, your lungs fighting to expand, your pupils contracting and expanding to try and adjust to the darkness.
“488 meters” this time it’s Matt who speaks, signaling that you’ve reached your destination.
Slowly things start to come into focus, darkness starts to become shadows, the pressure around your chest eases and it’s like you’re finally able to exhale.
Soon you’ll be able to see and breath as if you were in the surface. And maybe soon you’ll finally have at the answers you‘be been looking for.
“Ok team, you have 20 minutes before your ascend” Parker speaks through the radio.
Matt turns in his suit to look at you and signals before he unlatches the tether attaching you to him.
You have 18 minutes, 18 minutes to maybe find out what happened. At first there’s nothing, just the ocean floor, as you swim around and your eyes start to focus you can see a shape ahead, it looks like a box, a huge box.
“Matt, look to your left, 50 meters up, there’s something there” you say through the radio.
Soon the team is heading up with Matt in the lead. “Parker, are you picking this up? It looks like some kind of machine” Your heart feels like it might be beating out of your chest, you swim faster, you’re almost there.
You feel it before you see it.
It’s like the entire ocean went still, if such a thing were possible. You’re about to radio for help when the third team member screams and the lights of his suit shut off.
You look ahead, you can still see Matt’s lights ahead when suddenly a huge shark appears out of nowhere and is swimming straight toward Matt. Your screams cuts short as the tether connecting you and Matt pulls with such forced that you’re jerked forward before suddenly snapping back sending you in a dizzying spiral.
You’ve barely stopped spinning before you see the shark swim toward you, except it’s not a shark, it kind of looks like a man? A giant man with a spear in his hand? What the fuck?
You’re still trying to make sense of what you’re seeing when you realize that the shark man thing is swimming straight at you at a speed that shouldn’t be possible.
The last thing you remember is lifting your arms to try and shield yourself before pain explodes everywhere and everything goes dark.

My offering for @go-events Good AUmens AU Fest first chapter is posted!
Chapters: ¼ Fandom: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Good Omens (TV) Rating: Explicit Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens) Characters: Hastur (Good Omens), Michael (Good Omens), Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse (Good Omens), Kraken (Good Omens) Additional Tags: Angst, Humor, AU post-Armageddon, Aziraphale human, Crowley Demon, Memory Loss, Psychic Bond, Psychic Abilities, kind of …, Aziraphale forgot a lot, Like he was an angel, And that Crowley is a demon, aziraphale is oblivious, Fairies & Goblins OCs, No kittens die in this story. Promise. Summary: Aziraphale the Beautiful Stranger believes he’s psychic. His assistant, Crowley the Flash Bastard, makes it happen as his spiritual conduit and his (supposed) psychic connection. It’s a grand illusion that Crowley dedicates himself to continue—either until the end of days or Aziraphale comes to his senses, whichever comes first.
AU post-Armageddon where fantasy world collides with reality (a bit of residual from Adam’s imagination). POV Aziraphale.
Thank you to the incredible @kongeriket-noregur for the beta and incredible suggestions. I appreciate all you do, especially now with our lives so crazy!
Teaser opening for first chapter:
“Loud and obnoxious brutes,” Aziraphale grumbled under his breath. “I’m certain Crowley will be tickled . He adores chaos.”
He, however, is not so keen on chaos. Aziraphale prefers the refined company of fairies, not the boorish behavior of these goblins that Crowley insisted they invite. And where was he? Nowhere to be seen, that’s not unusual!
After the buffet and the last of the roast pork was devoured, the creatures began to munch on the stuffing out of Aziraphale’s rosewood-and-inlaid-brass chaise lounge.
“Stop that! Shoo! Away! Have the fruit salad!” Aziraphale tries to take a swat at one of the goblins, but instead the goblin turns and tries to bite Aziraphale’s hand.
“Crowley! Get over here!”
Still no Crowley. What little of the fine, Baroque floral upholstery that hasn’t been ingested is now in shreds. Why, oh, why had he let Crowley talk him into this? Never again. While it’s true that fairy soirees often end in orgies, but Aziraphale would much prefer fairies copulating on the furniture than eating it.

Hi, I am new to the Drarry-fandom 💚❤💚I love fanfiction and want to read a good, long and completed story. Which fic do you recommend me to read as my first (!) one? Hugs and cuddles for you
Hello there lovely and let me welcome you in this amazing fandom!
I don’t know what kind of fic you’re most interested in, so I’ll link a few of my faves here with a small summary and tags and you can decide which one you want to read. All of them are highly recommended, have read them (I’ve read many of them more than once).
Chaptered fics:
Turn by Saras_girl; W: 306708, E, M/M, AU, Epilogue compliant
-> Turn is one of the first chaptered fics I’ve read for this fandom and was an instant favourite of mine. I always talk about importance of fiction and how it can affect you so much. You sometimes search for specific fics but then a fic finds you.. at the right time and it just stays with you. That’s Turn for me and a lot of other people. It deals with Harry later in life, being unhappy with his life but can’t pinpoint why. He questions some of his decision he did/didn’t make and how life could have been. This prompts a journey of self-discovery and righting some wrongs..of sorts and being true to yourself even if people think it’s a mid-life crisis.
Check out these by Saras_girl too: Foundations verse (mainly Reparations and it’s sequel Foundations); Talk to me; Helix (a cute post-war eight year fic); Salt on the Western Wind.
Grounds for divorce by @tepre; W: 122217, E, M/M, EWE, Accidental bonding!
-> I cannot stop talking about this fic. Another one of those “right fic at the right time” situation. Be prepared to feel all the feelings, because these boys are sometimes so stupid and blind that they end up hurting each other before they learn how to love each other the way they need. It deals with a lot, a kick-start is them accidentally bonding and from then they have to find a way to live their life. They learn a lot about themselves, each other, their families. It is a beautiful piece of writing that made me cry, laugh, feel anguished, ecstatic and joyful. It is a MUST READ for sure.
I could be wrong, I could be ready by @harryromper; W: 57343, M, M/M, EWE
-> Magical theory, what ifs? I mean, this is a brilliant combination of both, mixed with Harry discovering himself still. I stayed up all night to read it because I just couldn’t leave it like that. I love this so much, I’ll be re-reading this again for sure!
Changing Tides by @carpemermaidtales; W: 109,687, E, M/M, Pirate AU
-> THIS FIC… I mean. Honestly. I found this fic through tumblr, saw the fanart and the fic was linked down below. I’m so glad I clicked on it. I love it so much, you can’t imagine. Draco accidentally finds himself entangled with pirates and his life changes. He finds himself in the most unlikely place in the most unlikely situation. The whole journey is amazing, filled with laughter, tears and wholesomeness.
This Year’s Love by trishjames; W: 84000, E, M/M, EWE
-> This fanfic is a journey. Harry goes through so much and learns things about himself because a situation forces him to. He is a dick at times and sometimes doesn’t realise how he can hurt the people he loves. But he comes around and beautiful things happen thanks to that. Read this, you won’t be disappointed.
That Old Black Magic by @bixgirl1; W: 77777, E, M/M, EWE, Arranged marriage
-> Ugh, this killed me. Nothing better than Draco and Harry having to accept things about the other one and working through their issues, finding each other in the most unlikely situations.
Azoth by zeitgeistic (faire_weather); W: 88722, E, M/M
-> One of the Drarry fandom classics. A lot of magical theory, alchemy, our favourite boys, eight year. I’ve read it a long long time ago, so my memory can be fuzy but I know its amazing and worth the read!
Small Blessings by oldenuf2nb; W: 37020, M, M/M
-> Another fic that I’ve read a while ago, maybe 10 years ago but I remember I loved it. Harry creates a family for himself, finds a friend in Pansy Parkinson and life connects him to Draco in an unforeseen way. Contains a lot of fluff, be prepared. Lots of kids!
Temptation on the Warfront by alizarincrims0n; W: 180305, E, M/M, Deathly Hallows AU
-> This fic… I mean I love peoples individual take on what could have been, partially because Deathly Hallows could have been done so differently. This is it. Ever wondered what could have happened if Draco stood in the other side of the war? Read this, you’ll find out. Draco’s transformation is amazing, it is not instantaneous, he’s not automatically on board with Harry and for the same reason. He finds his place on the side of the Light through struggle and not always of his own volition, but he changes. Beautiful story.
One-shots:
Then Comes Mist and a Weeping Rain by faithwood; W: 21139, E, M/M, EWE, Post-War
-> It always rains for Draco Malfoy. Metaphorically. And literally. Ever since he had accidentally Conjured a cloud. A cloud that’s ever so cross. The summary is spot on, as they usually are. Draco walks around with a cloud above his had, an accident that leads to unexpected things.
The Four Ds of Apparition by @eidheann and @firethesound; W: 36638, E, M/M, EWE
-> Non-stop laughter. I mean, this fic had me hooked from the start. The mood of the fic is just so amaing, you have to read it. It contains one of my favourite things on earth, a healer!Draco Malfoy along with his witty nature and love for teasing Harry.
Moon-Eyed by @l0vegl0wsinthedark; W: 29699, E, M/M, EWE, Creature fic
-> Anon, do yourself a favour and read this. As stated above, the fic is explicit and is basically Veela!Draco and Werewolf!Harry. Not sure if this is your cup of tea but their relationship is so beautifully written. Draco is a beautiful smart badass and Harry is in a permanent need of a hug.
you’ve got the antidote for me by kandakicksass; W: 20730, M, M/M, Soulmate AU
-> A good Soulmate AU never hurt nobody. They’re soulmates, what could go wrong right?
A Series Of Neighbourly Epistles by @slytherco; W:13671, M, M/M, EWE
-> Contains my favourite trope: Harry James Potter is a dumdum and forever finds himself in weird situations because he makes everything his business. Although, this was not just his fault…it’s those damn neighbours.
Anon, I hope you find something you’ll enjoy reading. Do not fear longer fics, it’s the rite of passage in this fandom, for this pairing. We love a good long fic. I’ll definitely do another rec list, because I’ve been a fan for so long, but I have to log into my old accounts, did so for this one as well.
Thank you for your ask and I hope you’ll stick around for another rec list.

A Certain Kind of Bravery by Shinybug
In which Jaskier talks too much, revises some history, and explores the idea of courage with Geralt’s help. Not necessarily in that order.
Familitas - sospes
After Sodden, Yennefer goes to ground to lick her wounds.
Except then Geralt finds her with a Child Surprise in tow, and then he goes and finds his bard, and somehow Yennefer ends up with a life that she never expected to have.
What Remains - sospes, character death
After, Yennefer watches Geralt grieve.
To You Always by autoschediastic
Long life has taught Geralt patience, Jaskier is not nearly as drunk as he thinks he is, and every man has their limits.
“What are you doing?”
“What am I doing,” Jaskier mocked sourly as he scrubbed. “What does it look like I’m doing. I’m not about to make love to you stinking of roast mutton and cheap perfume!”
As Jaskier surfaced from rinsing soap from his face, Geralt said reasonably, “There are worse things than mutton.”
“I’m not going to make love to you stinking of those either!”
Trust by @funkzpiel
There were two long, deep, tumbling lines stretching all the way down the side of the cliffside – one far larger than the other and streaked crimson in great bursts – and at the bottom he spotted them: a werewolf and a witcher. Both still as death. The world fell silent, or perhaps it had always been silent and it was Jaskier that had been stunned to quietness in every sense of the word. He could see wind stir the grey, metallic fur of the beast even from as high up as he was, but he couldn’t hear the wind. Couldn’t feel it. His skin felt tight and staticky with dread, clammy and cold. His heart beat so fiercely against his breast that he could feel it swaying him minutely on his feet.
At the End of the Day by Gigi_Sinclair
Even after all their time together, there’s a few important things about Jaskier that Geralt has overlooked.
500 Crowns by @vands88
Every year, Jaskier finds himself singing at Cintra’s court, watching Geralt’s abandoned Child Surprise grow up.
Redwood and Dandelion by sharkhette
“The Witcher’s bought a room for the night, and says he’ll pay double for anyone who can bed him without stinking of fear the whole time.”
“Oh, I’ve fucking got this,” Jaskier promised. ____________
Or, the one where Jaskier works in a brothel and falls head over heels for the stoic, not-actually-that-scary Witcher who comes in requesting his services.
Geralt doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into.
and still i will live here by @notquiteaghost
“If life could give me one blessing,” Geralt snarls, “it would be to take you off my hands.”
And, really, Jaskier isn’t an idiot. Was standing just here, unwilling audience to Yennefer taking out her own grief on the nearest target, and while he’s long run out of patience for playing mediator to that disaster, he isn’t going to sit by and let Geralt cope with one of his loves pushing him away by taking the initiative and pushing the other away first.
Honestly, the nerve of it! He can’t hold it against him, he knows, but as if he would ever willingly leave. It’s been twenty years, what would he even do.
Do It Again by @geralt-jaskier
By the twentieth time Geralt has gone through the loop, he decides to just throw himself off the cliff’s edge after Borch.
He wakes up to his twenty-first attempt.
“Fuck.”
Good Intentions by @toyhto
Geralt protects Jaskier from sleeping with anyone. He’s not sure why that’s so important.
Forget Me Not by @im-fairly-whitty
Geralt is eighty five years old when he meets his soulmate for the first time in a dream.
He knows it’s a soulmate dream too, he’s never dreamt anything nearly so vivid or calm, only ever having had muddled nightmares if anything at all. But now he finds himself standing in a field of wildflowers, a slight breeze brushing over the loose black shirt he’s wearing. An unseen sun warms his skin in the perfect pleasantness of a calm summer’s day.
And All My Stumbling Phrases by @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels
Geralt may not know how to say things, but that doesn’t mean he can’t find a way to use his words.
ok but i think we all want to know one thing and that is where is the gerskier rec post rc
I haven’t read as much Witcher fic as I would like (cut me some slack, I’ve never played the games or read the books, and I only just finished watching season 1), but I do have some memorable ones that I’m more than happy to share!
RC’s Geralt/Jaskier Fic Recs
Meet Death Sitting by bomberqueen17
“This is the thing, Geralt. I’m middle-aged and tired and I just think I’d rather meet death sitting down and facing it rather than from behind while I’m running. You know?” He contemplated that a moment, and finally added, “Especially if it’s you.” (Ongoing series, post S1, and the fourth story—starring Jaskier and Yennefer—will break your heart and also knock your fucking socks off)
500 Crowns by vands88
Every year, Jaskier finds himself singing at Cintra’s court, watching Geralt’s abandoned Child Surprise grow up.
Flora by chaya
Jaskier likes to insinuate himself into places he was previously not allowed. (Ongoing series)
b-sides and rarities by fathomfive
Some songs, Jaskier sings for Geralt only. Too bad it takes Geralt so long to notice.
rings pearls & all by fluorescentgrey
“Does he fuck you,” said the witch.
Thank all the gods they were alone in the dingy stone courtyard on the edge of the world.
“Um,” said Jaskier. “To whom do you refer.”
when the bones are good by SummerFrost
Julian is six when he realizes that he’s got an astounding capacity for being an annoying bastard. He’s seventeen when he finally decides to lean in.
give to you my silence by vands88
Sometimes all Geralt needs is silence.
Unpredictable by Potrix
Jaskier steps closer, meeting Geralt’s eyes in the dirty little mirror above the wash basin. He looks determined. Unusually—somber. Serious. “You’re being a shit because I’m an equal opportunity lover, aren’t you?” (Ongoing series)
Oh, Raven by athousandvictories
Jaskier is cursed, complications arise.
home is nowhere, therefore you by Ark
“Right, well,” Jaskier says, when he halts before Geralt. Up close, he looks much more nervous. There is sweat on his brow and his collar is damp with it, and his teeth keep catching on his lower lip. “True love’s kiss. There's—ah—there’s nothing to it.” And he bends, the utter imbecile, and kisses Geralt full on the mouth.
Do it Again by thisgirlsays22
By the twentieth time Geralt has gone through the loop, he decides to just throw himself off the cliff’s edge after Borch.
He wakes up to his twenty-first attempt.
“Fuck.”
A Dandelion By Any Other Name by TabbyCat33098
Jaskier is throwing up flowers and refuses to tell Geralt who has afflicted him so. As Geralt grapples with Jaskier’s impending death, he comes to terms with a few things himself.
