  1. Summary

    Absolutely self-indulgent multifandom series where I simply just...unship romantic couples. Most couples I unship will be straight, BTW, because I don't feel like queer people deserve that treatment (unless one of them really hurts my anti-romance soul.) However, this does not mean I will unship people by making them gay. As a warning, I won't erase a fictional character's queerness - in fact, I'm more likely to think someone as aroace, then gay or lesbian, than straight. But I personally am not ideologically keen on queerness, though some things have shifted due to lots of conversations with friends both more conservative and more liberal than I am.

    Not meant to hate on romance itself, even if I am a salty pato. But more...meant to follow the energy of "they should have kissed!" into "they should NOT have kissed."

    This AU is DIABOLICAL and I love the extra dimension the author gives to the villainous NPCs

    Summary

    The cruelest thing about the Nameless was that they made it so easy to pretend that Sunday belonged. They fed that greedy, stupid, childish thing that cried out from within him, tossing enough scraps of amity for him to piece them together into something that felt like home. The curtains only closed when Sunday lay awake at night and stared at the ceiling of the bedroom that wasn’t really his, and he remembered that it started like this and could only end like this: with him, alone in the dark.

    Sunday is found by the Astral Express Crew after fleeing Penacony. He accepts their offer to join, and realizes that

    a. fitting into this tight-knit group is likely impossible
    b. trouble finds the Trailblazers no matter where they go.

    or, the chronicle of the Astral Express trying, failing, and trying again to fit Sunday into their family.

    Russian translation (courtesy of the lovely K_A_M_A) can be found here!

    You can pry this exploration of Sunday from my cold, dead hands. I want to understand HSR characters the way this author understands HSR characters

    Summary

    Myth may be the crown princess, the trade darling, the greatest linguist of their generation…yet, wretchedly, she still can’t shake that feeling of something being wrong, lacking, defective with her.

    Allusions to the library being rebuilt. Acknowledgment and exploration of poor Myth and her rocky relationship with her father. Me going "oh, cool" to "...oh....ow." Something about that conversation of love was gripping

    Summary

    Inspired by Tumblr: "It's a shame body swapping doesn't really work with Witch Hat Atelier's magic system as an Orufrey body swap would be hilarious

    Olruggio in Qifrey's body: All right, we can figure out how to fix this, just relax-

    Qifrey in Olruggio's body: WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T RELAX"

    Me: "Hohoho, the angst potential of this post"

    I hate my friends. They exist to make me suffer and anticipate that suffering

    Summary

    Leila's beauty is commented on several times in the Magiford books. We can presume that Rigel—between his brooding good looks and deadly reputation—puts off 99.999% of Leila's potential suitors.

    ...but what happens when that .001% [who is not Fell] tries to shoot their shot while Rigel is busy getting Leila a coffee?

    This HAS to have happened at least once, right?!?!?!

    Introducing: Well...He Tried? A humorous take on one impolitely persistent human's efforts to unknowingly land a Queen who is just not interested.
