So chrome just unexpectedly closed ALL my open Archive fics for no apparent reason and I cannot restore.
I am pretty much besides myself because it was 22+ tabs and I have terrible terrible habit of not saving/bookmarking (which NOW I AM GOING TO BE DOING RELIGIOUSLY)…
If anyone has fic recs I will take them - pretty much anything in any of the below:
Okay I’m nervous to ask this BUT — has anyone done Laios x Kabru x Reader/OC? 👀
just some random prompts (up to you how you'll use it or not lol):
also, I love your writing so muuuuch. xx
a/n: i have din djarin brain rot smh. also, ngl, i did not proof read this with the intensity i usually try to so🤷🏻♀️ OH AND HEY IF YOU HAVEN'T VOTED IN MY POLL YET GO DO SO, IT'S ON MY MASTERLIST.
Mando’a was an interesting language. It was different. That’s what initially drew you to it. Unlike the other languages you studied, Mando’a texts were hard to find. For a while, you had to make do with just scraps of information. That almost made learning it so much more satisfying though. Then, while at University, you met an elder who had grown up adopted by Mandalorians. He had never taken the Creed, drifted away from the culture, but not without becoming fluent in Mando’a. He was the reason the holes in your education were filled, and that meant he was also the reason you could enjoy Din Djarin’s mumbling.
Okay I have re-read this like 4 times and I just love this so much. Just everything about it, the heart-quickening realization of connecting with someone in your native tongue and the knowledge that this is their x-th language and they went and studied it for you. Makes me absolutely feral for a full fic like this!
Tbh I think fandom generally needs to get better at sitting with the uncomfortable fact that a story/fanwork/meme/whatever can hurt one person and help another
This is why I think “tag warning” culture is kinder and more constructive than cancel culture / “no problematic content” culture. One size does not fit all, but if we learn to be more aware of the fact that the same thing can be emotionally validating or cathartic to one person and upsetting to another, and pick up a general mindset of thinking before we post, “what might people need a heads up for in this content?”, we grow more compassionate, more thoughtful, and more understanding of the differences in people’s experiences.

Pairing: Din Djarin x Fem!Reader
Word Count: 3k
Rating: M, series and blog are E so minors DNI
Warnings: Canon-typical violence, reader's first bounty (they grow up so fast), brief hand-to-hand combat.
A/N: Alrighty folks, we're really getting into it now. New arc, maybe something brewing between our main characters??? Who knows. 🥰 Big round of applause to @creatively-analytical for beta-reading and letting me yell and scream about Shiny Metal Man. 💖 Asks are always open!!
You rise before the sun and get ready to leave, your chest still churning with random emotions from the events from the night before but you do your best to shove it all down. As promised, you wake your parents before you leave and say a simple goodbye; everything you needed to tell them had already been said.
The walk back to the Razor Crest is crisp in the pre-dawn air. The ramp to the back is open by the time you reach the ship so you head in, determined to act completely normal when you faced Mando. Heading straight for your cot, you drop your jacket and call out, “Mando? You here?”
“Up here,” he calls from the cockpit. It was the last place you wanted to see him but you headed up the ladder anyway.
“Morning!” you greet him cheerily, placing your bag on the seat across from yours.
“Morning,” he responds, swiveling his chair to look at you. “Looks like the conversation went well.”
“You were right, talking to them was the right move. They were incredibly supportive and told me how proud of me they are, which was exactly what I needed to hear.”
“I’m glad.”
Busying yourself with your bag, you ask, “So, did you get everything taken care of you needed to?”
Spinning the chair back, he responds, “Yeah, Tonis gave me a couple of low-level bounties that we can go after together as a trial period for you. If we can snag these guys, I’ll know you’re ready.”
“Ready for what?” you ask, curiosity pulling your gaze to the back of his chair.
“Ready to be on your own.”
The answer gives you another jolt of emotion. You try not to think about it but rather focus on the future in front of you. “Oh. Okay, sounds good. Where are we going first?”
“Pasaana. It’s pretty close so we’ll get there in later today.”
You settle into your chair, eyes fixed somewhere beyond the viewport and into the sky above you. “I’m ready.”
Mando punches in the coordinates and the Crest starts to rise. As you take off, you watch your town grow smaller and smaller. You feel this chapter of your life coming to a close and, as the atmosphere of Randon changes to the calm of space, you look away from your old life and forward toward what will be.
I've seen quite a few people lately apologising for being behind on their reading of fics from friends.
Can I just say, my fics aren't going anywhere. I write for myself, and share them to hopefully give some other people comfort and joy. Whether you get that joy the day it's posted, or a week later, a month a year, it doesn't matter - that's the good thing about fics. They're there when you need them.
Reading / Reacting to my work is not the token you insert to receive my friendship ❤️
@etchedbox has come back to Tumblr and is slowly posting their series Dust in it’s entirety on AO3 and Tumblr.
-remember to be respectful. you have no idea what was going on in their personal life so don’t be a dickbag.
For those who saw my post like a year or more ago - please be respectful and nice!!
The main page is organized by Character but some of you sometimes request things like “Fluffy” or “Angst” and I thought this could help.
Please note for some on-going fics I may not offer a category publicly if I think it is a spoiler, for others I think it’s been advertised as such.
consider the rating system here:
☕ (mild example) ————> ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ (strong example)
ex. Penmanship (Ezra Soulmate AU) , under NSFW, ☕ ☕ ☕ implying that I think it is a moderately spicy fic
Categories include: Ready To Binge (completed longer fics), SWF, NSFW, Fluffy, Angsty, Happy Endings, Not Happy Endings, Tropes, OC Stories, Reader Inserts, Non-White Characters, and No Romantic Pairings. I’m open to adding more but I thought this could make for more convenience browsing for some of you. Please feel free to offer some suggestions for this as it’s a bit of a bear to do and I know I missed things.

havent RBed this in a while. Trying it out as a secondary source for finding things on tumblr

SWEATING BULLETS RN
Ok. I keep seeing this art and it’s freaking amazing! I’m salivating all over this beauty! Bravo artsy people. I commend you!
Aw! I really appreciate the fact that after seeing it a few times on your dash you decided to reblog and comment on it! It may seem a small step to you, but something like this is a big win for us, fanartists. Reblogs create exposure, feedback and support, that in turn helps us to draw more. We cannot art in vacuum - like any other creatives I guess. So huge thank you for finding a moment to stop by, comment and RB instead of scrolling! 💜
Please could you share some recommended Frankie Morales fics? He’s my happy place.
God me too.
Okay so I'm on mobile so you'll need to go to the authors masterlist for these.
Weeknights by @frannyzooey - a personal comfort fic of mine. Sweet and soft and smutty with just the right amount of yearning to make my toes curl.
Between the Raindrops by @jazzelsaur - do you need to cry? Like a good cathartic, shake your lungs kinda cry? This is the fic for you.
Forest!Ranger Frankie by @the-ginger-hedge-witch - every day I'm annoyed that I'm not living in a log cabin with this man. He's awkward and sweet and he chops wood and grins like a goof.
Wild Things by @charnelhouse - feral Frankie.... WOOOF.
Wednesday by @asta-lily which is so full of fluff and sweetness and yearning it gives me the best kind if toothache.
Tastes Like Heaven by @magpie-to-the-morning - you're gonna get a new kink from this, and it's so fkn worth it.
Be Kind Rewind by @mothandpidgeon - why is accidental voyeurism so hot? IDK BUT IT IS.
Something New by @prolix-yuy - SEX WORKER FRANKIE. SEX WORKER FRANKIE. this is so goddamn sweet and perfect.
Also; if these don't tickle your fancy, then may I suggest The Pedro Library by @littlemisspascal . It's truly a labour of love and it's such an invaluable resource that they put out for free? And for no other reason than they love this fandom and it's creators and I just think that's so neat ❤️❤️
Thank you for adding Weeknights to this list! ❤️
I have gotten SEVERAL things to catch up on, reading wise, by the look of this list 👀👀
You’re doing the Lord’s work with your kindness and recommendations! Thank you! ❤️
These are all amazing authors and i am going to BINGE (& re-binge some) these this weekend.
Adding one of my personal favs to the list -
@givemethatgold - Fix’r Upper
It’s absolute soft sunshine in a sunroom filled with yearning and just the right amount of angst that keeps you coming back for more.
Return of the WIFE
Dieter painting
okay why aren’t we talking about dieter being an artist
So, this small detail made me laugh so hard and was one of the smartest things in the film, because he’s painting a re-creation of Goya’s Saturn devouring his son.
Goya painted this painting directly onto the walls of his DINING ROOM in his 70′s….when he had basically isolated himself in his home and was contemplating his own mortality.
So Dieter painting this darkness in isolation is the filmmakers choosing wisely. He’s basically giving into the nihilism and saying, ALL IS MADNESS AND WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE
Can I give you an extra level of fun? Pedro had said that if he were any painting he’d be The Dog.
Which is also from Goya’s Black Paintings.
@brandyllyn I am so deeply excited to be learning about this. I love The Dog, and am wondering where I can sign up for this tumblr art history course because I am *loving* it.
OMG THIS MAKES IT BETTER
You know this all points to Pedro being the one to make the suggestion of which painting he’s working on. Since Judd’s scripts are basically outlines with room for improv and collab, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the one who suggested that Dieter be a painter period.
That’s very sexy of our boy.
summary: Dieter Bravo wants you to peg him, and he’s about to fall face first into some feelings.
rating: E [SMUT, anal play, pegging, oral sex, slight allusions to Covid, some weight/self-esteem issues on both their ends, some kind of emotional stuff but idk Dieter that well, we’re just having fun]
pairing: Dieter Bravo x plus size!f!reader
word count: ~4k
note: Happy Bubble eve! Idk what I’ve done here, and I think I hate it, but Dieter is a baby who needed to be pegged by a curvy hottie, so—bon appetit! As always, love my @starlightmornings for the beta.

Three weeks.
Three weeks he’s been here, and he hasn’t fucked anyone since his arrival. He hasn’t even gotten a blowjob, which is a fucking crime, as far as he’s concerned. Dieter Bravo is an Oscar winner, for Christ’s sake. If an Oscar winner can’t get mediocre head from one of his co-stars, something is definitely wrong.
Commenting fanfiction is the easiest thing in the world once you start doing it.
I leave a comment on every single fic I read. Sometimes when I read published books I go and leave a comment somewhere the author can find it. Granted, I literally majored in ‘leaving comments on fics’ (English Education), but once you start doing it it just becomes second nature. Now you’re gonna go to the Ozymandias school of leaving comments:
Beginner: This is a second/third/fourth Kudos
Advanced: This is my second/third/fortieth time reading this, I still love it so much. Here are a few new things I noticed. I like the way you personally do x, y, z compared to other authors I’ve read (in this ship/genre/fandom).
Beginner: Just list what you did to read this fic. “I stayed up late reading this”, “I read this on a crowded train”, “this kept me company while sick”.
Advanced: X,Y,Z parts made me get butterflies, and I had a physical reaction to this part of the story, I squealed outloud when characters did x,y,z. I blushed at this part. I laughed out loud here. Whatever.
Beginner: Short answer: you won’t EVER annoy the author (unless you’re needlessly mean) But to start, be generic, you don’t have to spill your soul in the comments section. “I liked this” “I enjoyed reading this” “nice fic”.
Advanced: This really meant a lot to me that you wrote this. This is something I feel like I’ve always wanted to read. This fic hit me in all the right places. Etc.
Beginner: My beginners go to is to highlight a line, put that in your comment and say “i liked this” or to identify basic emotions you had while reading and comment those “this made me happy” “this part made me sad” “i almost cried” “you made me laugh” Advanced: “Highlighted line” This line made me smile because it has to do with character development/it’s really romantic/it’s so unique/it’s moving. Sometimes I don’t highlight a line at all, I just talk about the stuff I’ve noticed were unique to the fic. “I love the way you did this particular thing with this character”.
This? This is an amazing post. This is the Captain Awkward of commenting posts—it addresses all your fears directly and gives you actionable scripts for each one.
doing this will make authors / writers love you forever.
