    Summary

    Best friends Luz, Willow and Gus are the Ghoul Friends, streaming their adventures through haunted houses on YouTube, when they're asked to investigate the mysterious Blight Manor at the edge of town. Amity, the only inhabitant of said Manor, isn't exactly pleased by the idea of having these weirdos running around her house. After all, there's no such thing as ghosts.

    ...Right?

    (Now with art in chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 11!)

    Summary

    “Oh,” Amity says. “Oh!” Her cheeks flush. “Just you and me! Here! At this sleepover! Together! Alone! Your friends, I mean, our friends? I mean, Willow and, uh—”

    “Gus!”

    “—yep, they aren’t…they aren’t going to be here?”

    “Nope!” Luz says. “BEAUTIFUL WITCH ☆ ENCHANTING AZURA is basically only for super hardcore Azura fans, and no matter how much I try I can’t get Willow or Gus into it. Or King. Or anyone. And plus, I – I don’t know, I thought we could hang out? We haven’t had a lot of one-on-one hang time since Grom. So. What’s better for friendship than staying up super late watching two seasons of anime that were legally barred from being aired in the United States?”

    this fic legitimately made me tear up, and I am 100% certain it will remain in my top three TOH fics for the rest of my time in this fandom. Luz's inner thoughts are so perfectly conveyed here, Amity's stilted earnestness comes across so genuinely, there's so many hilarious and heartwarming little lines throughout the whole thing -- and the anime season metaphor!!! gosh. everybody read this fic, please

    Summary

    "My parents banned me from watching most cartoons" Kate's brow furrowed, "except for veggie tales" she forfeited. Victoria dropped her pen, utterly baffled.

    Because, really, how did she, Victoria Chase (fabulous famous photographer in the making) end up with Kate Marsh (genuine bible thumper and bunny lover) talking about Veggie Tales (of all things) in the first place?

    OR IN SHORT

    Max Caulfield saves Chloe Price and Arcadia Bay, but leaves collateral damage in the shape of two broken girls; Victoria Chase and Kate Marsh. Somehow, they both mutually help each other grow past their own individual traumas.

    OR…

    Victoria Chase becomes friends with Kate Marsh and it completely wrecks her gay heart.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This has been one of my favorite fics since like... i dunno, at least like 2017? There's so much I love about it, and I come back to it a lot because there's always something relevant in Kate and Victoria's struggles to grow and change for the better.

    What a great usage of second person! Kyoko is peppery and peppy, and it's a balm to see this glimpse of the connection and support Homura must have gotten from the other puella magi before the loops really started crushing her. F in the chat for Kyoko and Homura, the brotp that should have been.
