Masterlist

List of fics with shortened summaries! These are not all the fics I've written, just the ones acceptable to highlight, lol

ACOTAR

you could make this place beautiful series

live once (once is enough) WIP- Feyre, Rhysand, life, and the family that comes along with it. Series of non-chronological one-shots. Here's the mood board and a list all the chapters

miracles Complete - The five times Feyre gives birth.

The Second Son Complete - Vesriel, the second son of Feyre and Rhys, gets tasked with a deadly mission. Secrets will be revealed, promises made and broken, and Vesriel's life will get turned upside down.

where the love light gleams Complete- Nessian holiday fic, written for @littleloric :)

Our Savaged Souls Complete - Spring Court!Feyre is married to Tamlin, but in love with Rhys. Tragedy all around.

to take, to worship Complete- Sleepy morning Feysand smut written for Liz, my beloved

june in her eyes, in her heart january Complete- @thewingspankinkmeme prompt fill, Feyre and Rhys make sure that the Spring Court will have an heir. Messed up smut.

therapy Complete- It's been raining for three days, and Feyre wants to make Rhys's knee feel better. Smut!

smooth Complete- Feyre explores the possibility of hair removal and lets Rhys do some exploring too. Smut!

a little complication between sisters Complete- ACOMAF divergent one-shot, Nesta pulls aside Feyre for a talk

for the day that will come Complete- Months after the war, Feyre gets a chance to see what a future in Prythian might look like at a party hosted by the Winter Court.

Prodigal Sister Complete- written pre-ACOSF, little character study on Nesta

lay yourself out, pick yourself up Complete- ACOMAF AU, Tamlin locks up Feyre and Mor doesn't get to her in time, causing all of the High Lords to descend on Spring to figure out What's Up.

For the Record Complete- Olympics AU, Athlete!Feyre and SportsReporter!Rhys, flirty fluff with a slice of minor anxiety

Red Rising

In Pursuit of Power WIP- The story of Nero au Augustus and Mama Augustus, his second wife. Aka, who was the woman the Lion of Mars loved, who presumably loved him too, and how did they end up together?

The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?

[medusas-daughter]

If I were Cardan Greenbriar and being a drunken fool saved my ass from Balekin's murder spree at the coronation AND got said ass in the hands of Jude Duarte I would take it as a divine sign to keep drinking clearly it's working for me

I love her so much so of course I had to paint her.

If you want a poorly written fanfic don’t ask ai ask me I’ll do it

[mylittleredgirl]

i was thinking this morning about how i categorize fanfic authors that i enjoy like AKC breeds and decided to share my rubric with you:

the specialist: this author has a favorite kink or trope and has written 80% of the content in that tag. you know exactly what you’re getting. they have A Brand™️. no matter what other traits they display, dedicated rare pair authors belong here.

the chocolate box: essentially the exact opposite. this author will try anything once. they have 80+ works in the fandom with no discernible pattern. the shortest one is 268 words and the longest is well over 100k. this breed of author may or may not be related to:

the renaissance fan: they’ve written three things in your fandom: your favorite fic, your notp, and a bizarre crossover with a show you’ve never heard of. you hit “expand fandoms list” on their author page and have to scroll down twice to reach the bottom. whenever you curse the fact that you can’t legally commission fic writers, this is the author you’re thinking about.

the horn dog: they’re here for one thing and one thing only. if someone’s dick is not in another character’s mouth within 500 words, they apologize for it in the author’s notes. they have one (1) g-rated fic.

the rookie: this writer is usually young, new to fandom, or just got a beta-reader for the first time. their fics are a little all over the place, quality-wise, but you’re excited whenever their name pops up because their unique voice gets stronger every time. you feel a personal investment in their development, like you’re an old man reading the local high school sports page and saying “this kid’s the one to watch.”

the live streamer: the most prolific author in the fandom. their works are all over the front page when you sort by kudos. you have no idea how they generate this much work, and have seriously wondered if they have access to an extra-dimensional time portal. their stories are usually un-beta’d and the characterization varies wildly, but their best works are inspired and you’ve read them 30 times.

the cryptid: this one comes out of nowhere every two years, drops the best fanfic you’ve ever read, and disappears. fifteen months after you left a three paragraph comment about how they changed your life, you get a message in your inbox that just says “thanks.”

the novelist: we talk about “filing off the serial numbers” when someone reworks their most popular story to pitch it as an original novel; this author somehow does the reverse. their fics are excellent, usually long-reaching multi-chapter AUs that have almost nothing to do with the on-screen characters except their names. i’d like to extend my personal thanks to this breed of author because it’s the closest i get to reading an actual book.

the reunion tour: this author wrote some of the most popular works in the fandom, but either moved on to k-pop or burned out when canon took a turn for the worse. they put out one new thing a year, often an old draft that’s been haunting them from under the floorboards. their last six author’s notes all say they never thought they’d write this pairing again and “this will probably be the last time.”

who did i miss?

[honeypiehotchner]

i want to read a very specific fanfic and i’m so mad that i can’t (it’s sitting in my drafts) (unfinished)

[honeypiehotchner]

so glad this post is resonating with people bc it’s still resonating with me as i am once again not working on said fanfics that i want to read

[ninjasmudge]

worlds slowest fanfic author tries really really hard

[ninjasmudge]

everyone in the notes we are all holding hands. everyone who hasnt worked on a wip in weeks or months or years, its okay. we are going slow but we are going

[esamastation]

What do you mean is The Fic abandoned? Obviously not, it's my baby, I was just holding it. What do you mean is it dead? Look, I got it right here, it's still very much alive. What do you mean am I going to write any more it? I was just writing it! I barely set it down!

... What do you mean it's been five years?

[dilf-din]

The most important thing you can do in this life is write hyper-specific fanfiction for you and six other people. Don’t believe anything else you read.

[the-lonelybarricade]

i've read "our savaged souls" that i found through your rec page and let me tell that fic destroyed me (in the best way possible) and now i can't stop thinking of "ruin the friendship" as their song just because of the "with so much left to say"

Fun fact! When @thehaemanthus called it "Our Savaged Souls", our was actually referring to us - as in the readers - because our souls are all irreversibly savaged after reading that angst 😭

Thinking about Ruin the Friendship made all my big feelings over that fic feel raw again so thank you anon

[thehaemanthus]

what I’m taking away from this is that I maybe should have killed Rhys. I’m taking notes, folks, trying to do better for next time

[phantom-nisnow]

HIC SUNT LEONES

Shout out to "i wanna socialize with my Internet friends but I don't have anything to talk about", gotta be one of my least favorite predicaments

[thehaemanthus]

i miss being a part of a fan community but all of the stuff im really OBSESSED with at the moment have like. no fan communities. that i am aware of.

anyway this problem will resolve itself one day. i think.
