You Made a Monster Out of Me by basicallymonsters
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
13 Mar 2025

Summary
He realizes that everyone feels exactly the same way he does, filthy and buzzed and understood and angry. His eyes find Andrew again, sober but animated like the drums are a live wire and he’s electric.
He thinks, if he could be part of this, if he could stand in the middle of the stage in a garden full of monsters, and sing the audience’s veins open, he would never need another drink, or another moment on court.
Prompt: Andreil in a rock band setting – tattoos, harsh lighting, calloused fingers, Andrew’s sweaty arms, Neil’s striking blue eyes, someone’s excellent voice, an uncomfortable undercurrent of drug abuse.

before we drift away by basicallymonsters
Fandoms: แปลรักฉันด้วยใจเธอ | I Told Sunset About You (TV)
21 Feb 2025

Summary
He remembers hokkien mee and almost-kisses in the forbidden dark, watering plants that were already wet, loving a boy who was already loved. He remembers climbing up to Oh’s apartment when he was dead tired, just to hold him as he slept. He remembers writing love in Mandarin a hundred times in a row.
Oh’s never-ending generosity comes to him like the returning tide. His life is supposed to have him in it. He knows it.
Maybe I’m not the one that you’ve been looking for since the beginning, Oh had said, on one of the worst days of his life. He knows now, without question, that he is. He is.
Scenes exploring the fallout from Teh and Oh-aew's break-up, and the soul-searching odyssey by which they find one another again. (Teh's POV as he tries and fails to live a life without Oh.)

Summary
“Come here,” Sand says, kissing him chastely. “My Ray.”
“It’s happening again,” Ray whispers. “All the bad stuff with the good stuff.”
Sand kisses the salt from his cheeks, looking him over so gently, as if he’s checking for physical injuries. “I think that’s just life, when you decide to actually live it.”
“That would make a good lyric, Sand,” Ray says earnestly, smiling through his tears. “You make ugly things beautiful, you know? Maybe that’s how I got better.”
Ray learns how to be loved.

touch me slow, feel my heart bleed by basicallymonsters
Fandoms: เพื่อนต้องห้าม | Only Friends (Thailand TV 2023)
05 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
“If I’m going to say goodbye to you, I’m going to do it properly.” He tries to put real intention into it, fooling them both into believing that he has some kind of upper hand here.
“Okay,” Ray agrees immediately. “Anything, I’m yours.”
It’s not a confession. He knows it’s not. Still, overwhelmed, Sand bites down on the fresh mark he’s left under Ray’s jawline, loving the unresisting way he sways up into him, loving his shockingly tender hand on his neck, loving the way he knows his body, loving everything about him.
Closing his eyes, he eases himself down into this bad decision like he’s crawling into his own grave. Mine, he thinks.
After Halloween mistakes, half-baked apologies, and helpless reconnections, Sand struggles to untangle himself from Ray's life, and ends up back in his bed.

Fandoms: 奇蹟 | Kiseki: Dear to Me (TV)
14 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
He thinks of Ai Di, the brother, three years his junior, with a personality that blusters out ahead of him and gets him into scrapes.
And then he thinks of this other Ai Di—mouth open beneath his, waistband clutched in his fist, throat flexing under his palm. Taunting him about love and sex every day, like some sort of demon. Making him jealous, making him worry.
What is Ai Di to him? He doesn’t fucking know. He kind of hates him right now. And through it all, he loves him.
Chen Yi has an eight year long crisis.
(A series of birthday wishes, sexual awakenings, and drunken misunderstandings from Chen Yi's POV, weaving in and out of canon)

something electric in the blood by basicallymonsters
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic

Summary
Neil’s mother could call a monsoon down from a crisp blue sky. Her power was tearful and tormented; she was always wreathed with rainwater, a grey veil obscuring her face.
Neil’s father was righteous electricity. His power was a fork in a wall socket. He went off before he was even born; his lightning struck his mother dead from the inside out. A killer before he even entered the world—a born murderer.
Long before he was Neil, he could cradle sunbeams in each hand, whistle for hail, and bend fog around his enemies like blindfolds. He could cover his footsteps with peals of thunder as he ran, and wash away crime scenes with downpours.
Neil is recruited into the Foxes, a team of reformed "volatiles" who tackle injustices as an outlet for their more-dangerous-than-average abilities. Neil craves a proper lightning rod to channel his powers, and a mask to hide behind. But his new team feels divided by super-charged suspicion and bad blood, and one particular Fox keeps bending time to appear to Neil at inopportune moments. Somewhere, a storm is brewing.

things fall apart, the centre cannot hold by basicallymonsters
Fandoms: Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater, Dreamer Trilogy - Maggie Stiefvater
03 Jun 2021
Tags
Summary
He keeps remembering the chafe of Ronan’s shoulder against his ribs as they got oriented in his little bed, the glisten of tears and nightwash wringing his lovely eyes, the lonely twist in his unguarded late-night voice over the phone, the one that Adam had almost liked, because it meant that he was indisputably missed. It was worse, that Ronan had been trying so hard for Adam, because it was easier to tell when he stopped.
Adam's perspective throughout Mister Impossible, as his worry reaches a fever pitch, and the two versions of himself begin to converge.

Summary
Lance is gone.
Lost in the plunging gaps between astral bodies, sewn into an invisible seam in spacetime. Missing, for two long years.
It’s impossible, to think of the time he's already lost with him. Time passes strangely in a war, and stranger still in space. Stars gasp their dying breaths and ripe dust clouds give birth to whole planetary systems. Some light reaches them with its centuries-old fingers and some can’t weather the journey. So many beings shiver and die. Lance would be twenty now. He tries not to think about it.Keith can't bring himself to grieve when he knows Lance is still out there. Instead, he follows versions of him down holographic rabbit holes, trying to pry closure out of his memories, and losing himself to an obsession with the simulated landscapes where Lance was never lost.

the good ones always seem to break by basicallymonsters
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
01 Aug 2018
Tags
Summary
“This would be a pretty sweet place for an ambush, actually,” Lance says softly. Keith follows his eyes, squinting at the mass of dust that reaches almost to the walls, like a roiling, smoky ceiling.
“We already scanned the place, and it’s a ghost town,” Keith says, slipping free of Lance’s grip and forging ahead. “Plus we’re nowhere near the base yet.”
“Right,” Lance says, but he’s tapping his helmet and opening up communications anyway, following Keith at a distance. “Hey guys, anyone else feelin’ that warm and fuzzy ‘I’m being watched' feeling?”prompt: Lance jumps in and takes a bullet for Keith when they're separated from the group, and it seems like a fairly minor wound, but the bullet was poisoned, and now Keith has to get Lance back to the castle.

they're gonna watch me disappear into the sun by basicallymonsters
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
27 Jul 2018
Tags
Summary
Lance turns his face towards the tree line meandering off to the edge of the coast, feeling every system in his body light up simultaneously. “Keith.”
He lifts his wrists and Keith’s hands follow them up. He shifts closer on his knees, mouth turned down, desperate.
“So you can’t expect me to leave you here,” Keith says, “I know that I’m asking you to walk away from your home. But you’re asking me to walk away from mine.”
(prompt: when they get to Earth, Lance wants to stay)

Summary
With Cabeswater gone, Ronan's dreamscape begins to deteriorate (and the things he brings back get messy).
He scrabbles for distance, Adam is beyond worried, and Gansey learns a couple of things about the way his friends love.
-
Tags
Summary
Adam has a day off, and he and Ronan spend it tangled in each other and their friends.
They lounge around Monmouth; fooling around, fucking with Gansey, and bickering constantly - but it's all underpinned with real conversation about religion, sexuality, and feelings.
(Just barely pre-epilogue)

Summary
It’s like they’re enjoying some fantastic beginners luck, but they don’t actually know how the game is played...
Revised relationships come from the settling dust of unmaking, and Ronan and Adam try to find a balance between grief and joy, love and sex, friendship and occasional hand kissing. They navigate first times and promises and a feeling like magic - even when they're forest-less and wide awake.
(Pre-epilogue)

Summary
“You brilliant thing, you madman!” he tramps through the grass and over to Ronan, who’s lazily propped up against his car. Gansey imagines he can see the flush of magic on him, the residue of creation.
He takes Ronan’s face in both hands and shakes him, a little.
“How?”
Ronan grins at him, a harmless sort of smile that jerks on something inside him.
“Dreamer,” Ronan jabs a thumb towards himself. “Dreamed,” he twists it towards the forest.
(Cabeswater surges back to dreamed life, and this time they're there to see it)

-
Tags
Summary
"I don't want you to stop looking," he says, finally, finally.
Ronan's whole face goes ashen. "Adam."
Adam jolts into motion, picking across the root littered ground and refusing to break eye contact. Maybe ever.
Adam finds himself constantly jealous; of friendships and finances and the way Kavinsky looks at Ronan sometimes. Everyone (including Cabeswater) just wants him to be happy.

Summary
"I miss you," he says again, feverish and rasping. "You're my only friend, you're the only person who's ever been a default for me, like factory settings; this Dan comes with a Phil, there's never even a question."
Or - they're miserable apart, and the only way they can properly sleep is together.
