Fanfic Masterlist (last updated February 8th 2024)

Where the east wind doesn´t blow (in progress) fandoms (crossover): Sherlock (BBC) x Enola Holmes movies chapters: 6/? quick summary: „Enola.“ Sherlock rolled the word in his mouth. It felt odd, yet strangely at home on his tongue. „That´s “alone“, spelled backwards.“ Enola simply smiled as she looked away, outside the window to the streets of then rainy London streets. It was a brief look, seemingly without a reason. It began to rain outside. „My mother´s a big fan of word games.“ She said, her eyes turning to the ground. Sherlock noticed her hands began to shake again as she partially curled up on herself.
Someday you´ll return (and I´ll be gone) (finished) fandom: The Sandman (2022) chapters: 3 quick summary: Once upon a time, there was a fairytale about a beautiful lady trapped in a tall tower by an evil witch. The lady in the story was incredibly beautiful, with golden hair so long they reached the bottom of the tower when she let them down through the window – the only way in and out of her stone prison. As stories often go, there was truth to it, one that had since morphed into something slightly different after being passed from mouth to mouth to ink and paper, written down into a book with a considerable amount of creative liberty. Let´s tell the story once again, now unchanged. And let´s tell it properly - from the beginning.
Two halves of the same orange (finished) fandom: Our flag means death (2022) chapters: 11 quick summary: A continuation of season 1, very minor difference to canon. It´s basically a collection of my headcanons with a bit of stuff that could possibly happen in canon and very poor integration of Spanish (I tried). First fic i finished (yay). additional note: I may put out additional content for this story (short stories and POVs that didn´t make the final cut) in the future, but for now, this is it.
The story of a storyteller (in progress) - DISCONTINUED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE fandom: The Sandman (2022) chapters: 14/? quick summary: An ordinary girl named Sarah suddenly appears to be transported to a different universe, one she considered nothing more than a good story. Running into the characters she only read about, however seems to put that view to the test. additional note: OC-centric, Hob x Dream in this one is present, but off to the side. Is this self-indulgent ? Unapologetically, but i will at least try to treat it with respect. I haven´t seen a single one story anywhere which deals with OC (or hell, even a reader insert) having knowledge of the Sandman universe so I´m looking forward to writing the rest of this very much. another additional note regarding content warnings: some chapters deal with heavier topics than the majority of the story. Those chapters have specific content warning in the notes at the beginning of the fic. Reader discretion advised.
The party goes with you (finished) fandom: The Sandman (2022) chapters: 1 quick summary: The days melt into each other for Hob Gadling once his old friend disappears. When Death comes to deliver the news of his demise, however, there is yet a shard of hope about the air.
The skin of a killer, the song of a longing heart (finished) fandom: The Sandman (2022) chapters: 1 quick summary: Hob wants to know more about Dream. Dream can only know about Hob what he directly tells him because he literally can´t see or hear any of his dreams. Things take an interesting turn. Or What 600 years of longing can do to two people who have very romantic feelings about one another with nowhere else to put them

Female authors when their girlboss, female rage, pussy power retelling of Greek Myth gets called out for ignoring the fact that Odysseus very much did not fucking consent to Circe and Calypso’s advances and that ignoring male victims of harassment and SA is actually not at all feminist

Also, isn't Medea's story already all that and more in few of the story's versions?

I got my heart broken and I survived, I failed 3 courses in university and graduated, I got rejected in the very first job I applied for and got promoted yesterday, I went through hard times with my family but then two years later, we laughed our hearts out over lunch, The closest friends disappointed me several times but I made new friends and loved them with all my heart. I did it once, I can do it again.

Juj ty jeden papľuh nepodarený. Som zásadne proti tomu aby sme okresávali naše ľúbozvučné reči na takýmto vulgárnym primitivizmom. Pekne, krásne treba zachovávať rozmanitosť našich nárečí a neunifikovať sa po vzore anglosasov. Lebo skončíme s jednou jedinou nadávkou a to by bolo veľmi smutné.

Tu by sa mohli využiť svoje jazykovedné schopnosti velikáni ako @anton-bernolak @ludovit-velislav-stur @janko-kral a s nevôľou @jan-kollar. Teda, ak pánom nebude to slovenské moc nízke a neohrnú nos nad biednym ľudom spod Tatier.

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”

I’m just thinking about how many times I’ve heard my dad on a long call with an obvious scammer and I’ll start begging him to get off the phone because I always think he’s a very easy mark and he’ll just keep going and then after a while he’ll say something like “I died 20 years ago” and hang up.

Virgin Millennial Daughter with 20 hrs of screentime a day: Dad! They’re scamming you! Dad! Stop! They will take your savings and your identity! Hang up before they SWAT you!

Chad Boomer dad with a flip phone he has not recharged since 2014: Well gee I wish I could give you my bank account number after you spent all this time on the phone explaining this car deal with me but I don’t have access to my finances because I am in Rikers for felony murder.

I feel like some people need to relearn Genre Expectations... "Man, this tragedy sucks!!! Why didn't they just do XYZ, then everything could have ended happily!!" well, then it wouldn't be a tragedy, would it. "Man, this lighthearted teen romcom is terrible, it's so sappy and unrealistic!!" Well, yeah. If it had been gritty and dark, it wouldn't have been a lighthearted romcom, would it. Is the writing actually bad or are you just trying to order a milkshake from a Home Depot

It's incredible how people have been protesting pants and skirts not having pockets but not a single peep is heard over the fact that skirts no longer have underskirts by default. Underskirts (or lining) was a thing when I was a child, no skirt would be made without lining, you didn't have to think and check if your whole ass is visible in a skirt because lining was a thing!!!! Now most skirts don't and it's simply because it's cheaper, fuck the fact that a customer doesn't want their panties shown in broad daylight, it saves a couple of cents on material.

okay so this has definitely breached containment and I want to point something out:

  • Yes slips are a thing but that's beyond the point. It's not just about skirts, it's the fact that garments have lost any quality they used to have and it's only getting worse.
  • Also, telling people to just buy a slip??? We don't tell women to buy a purse if she don't have pockets on her jeans?? Slips are an additional cost we should not be shouldering. They are often expensive, not size inclusive and unlike a lining that's made SPECIFICALLY for the skirt it's sewn onto, a slip might be too long or too short or just not look right.
  • as someone pointed out in the tags even coats and other garments have started to be sewn without lining and the purpose of lining is more than to hide your underwear.
  • The purpose of a lining is to add to the comfort of the wearer; preserve the shape of a garment or add body to it; and conceal construction details and raw edges of fabric, thus giving a finished appearance to the inside of the garment. A neatly applied lining usually adds to a garment quality.
  • I own a wool coat from an Austrian company that no longer exists (thanks thrifting), and it is in impeccable state. It has no tears, not one pulled thread and the shape still holds despite it being probably around 80 years old. Meanwhile another coat I had bought recently at a store already has a gaping hole where the stitches started unraveling. this ISN'T NORMAL!
  • Our clothes should last us, we should stop being ok with the absolute fuckery that is fast fashion and demand garments that will not break apart after two months.

I fucking hate this "capitalism is when you make money, the more money you make, the more capitalism it is" mindset people have gotten. No, an artist selling their own work is not them engaging in capitalism, it's literally a worker owning their own means of production.

Remember capitalism is someone profiting off of someone else's labor though owning capital. It is not simply the act of profiting at all.

Same when people blame 'capitalism' for stuff that's like... commerce. And issues with commerce that have existed longer than capitalism has. We've been trading for a lot longer than we've had capitalism.

May I add:

Too many I know, give more than asked and run themselves ragged.

I know you want to be good and kind to others and show your skills. But please don't. It just leads to more work because people think you can handle it, or uses you. If you can perform 100% of what is asked with 70% of your energy, do that and save the 30% for yourself.

Poslouchám Díru a dělám nějaký fanart, ale dovolte mi... malou ódu na chlebíček.

Kulinářská dokonalost. Uvědomil si vůbec někdo, jak moc krásný ten název je? Jako "chlebíček"? Zdrobnělina od chlebu? My máme naše chlebíčky tak rádi, že je to roztomilejší verze chleba! Malý chlebíček. No krása. Tak a teď k chuti. Já budu svoje chlebíčky bránit před všemi nactiutrhači, protože kombinace šunky, salámu, vajíčka, sýru, okurky, libovolné pomazánky a něčeho navíc je prostě dokonalá. Tohle mohlo vzniknout jedině v Česku. (Angličtina jim říká open sandwichies. Já ten název nepřijímám.) Sice je to hrůza než se připraví, ale potom... kdo nemá rád chlebíčky? Jednou jsem hrála na vernisáži a dostala jsem chlebíčky jako výslužku. Prosím, ať se mi to děje častěji!

Ano, byla jsem posednuta duchem Olbrama Olbrachta a moc mi to ani nevadí. Mám chuť na chlebíček.
