Upon reflecting this past year, I’m reminded of one area as a fandom citizen that i am lacking - reading fic. And so was born an idea to canvas my fandom family and friends to share with me a fic they've written, art they've created, a podfic they've recorded in 2023 of which they are most proud.

This two part 'rec yourself' list is the result.

Part One features Drarry creations (heavily featured since that's my OTP). Part Two (here) includes a kick-ass mix of various HP ships and ships from other fandoms, including Carry On, Check Please!, Good Omens, Teen Wolf, and Stranger Things. Also, and most importantly, each entry presents a smol blurb from the creator about why they chose their particular piece as their 2023 favorite.

For ease in reading, I've also placed all submitted works posted to AO3 into a filterable bookmark collection, Rec Yourself 2023. Be aware that there's a range of ratings and archive/creator tags, so please, take appropriate responsibility for your personal consumption. And please also be sure to shower the creators with kudos and lovely comments.

Y'all. This endeavor has been a fucking blast. One thing's for sure, I am blessed, humbled and honored to know a whole bunch of fantastic, brilliant, fun folks. Big love to you all, and thank you for participating.

So go forth. Indulge and enjoy! xo peach

✩ @pato-roldnart ✩ Quiet as a mouse HP | Viktor Krum x Ron Weasely | ART | G rating | Unleashed!Fest 2023 I'm quite proud of this one, I don't know how I made it, I had never drawn them before! My mind went full "oh yeah ronvik " Also, I like the idea of them bonding over their pets and Ron seeing that Viktor cares about something else that is not Quidditch.

✩ @tontonguetonks ✩ Coffee and a Croissant HP Next Gen | Scorpius x Albus | 903 FIC | G rating There are parts of myself and my lived experience in every story and character I write—how I socialize, how I take my coffee… I can’t help it. In *Coffee and a Croissant*, I put a lot of myself in my ace and autistic Albus. He is very dear to me in this story, and in my Fizzy Lifting Drinks drabble. The fic is just a toe-dip in the Soulmate waters where Albus grapples with what to do if he is someone’s Soulmate, but they’re not his. Parts 2 and 3 are in the works, but there is no timeline on either of them. Maybe in 2024?

✩ @crazybutgood ✩ I Bloom Pink For You HP | Narcissa Malfoy x Pansy Parkinson | 993 FIC + ORIGAMI COMIC | M rating | HP Bodice Ripper Fest 2023 This whole idea came about because I got so excited to fold a corset for hp bodice ripper fest, realised I couldn't just submit that one thing, and started brainstorming more loose ideas. It all clicked together when I was inspired by a fic by @schmem14, whose writing I adore. I was so grateful and even more excited when Em gave permission to make this. From there started the self-indulgent process of folding fancy things with fancier papers for this origami comic, and I couldn't have done it without Em and my lovely support team.

✩ @seekercass ✩ Something Cosmic HP | Cedric x Draco x Harry | 1.7k FIC | M rating | Polyship Week 2022 A self-rec that I am still extremely proud of is a short fic written for Polyshipping Week 2022 called Something Cosmic. It's a small coda to Something Good to Always Keep, another fic that I wrote for Quidditch Fest 2021 that I cherish very much. Even though writing is still hard for me these days, I often think about this 'verse and what life is like for Harry, Draco and Cedric after they graduated from Oxford. These three and slice of life bring me such joy. I hope to write more of them.

✩ @roseharpermaxwell ✩ Sounds Worth It HP | Hermione x Draco | 5k FIC | T rating | D/Hr Advent 2023 Being nominated for d/hr advent was a sweet surprise. It gave me a good excuse to remember how to write and the nudge I needed to create something this year.

✩ @basicallyahedgehog ✩ (They) Keep Me Warm HP | Hermione x Harry x Ron | 5.8k FIC | E rating | HP Trans Fest 2023 This was my transfest fic - I wrote it as a love letter to all my trans and Enby friends and as a way of processing some of my own feelings. It’s my first (and so far only) foray into poly golden trio and I loved playing with their dynamics with that added layer to their relationship.

✩ @lumosatnight ✩ For I Have Found Salvation HP | Harry x Severus | 7.1k FIC | E rating | Snarry AUctoberfest 2023 Although this is a smut fic at its core, I tried really hard to make the pacing flow, bringing in background characters, and creating memorable imagery. I am very proud of how it turned out. However, this is probably my favorite fic from 2023 simply for the fact that I had the most fun writing it!

✩ @sugareey-makes-stuff ✩ Feel You Breathing Teen Wolf | Derek Hale x Stiles Stilinski | 8.4k TEXTING FIC | E rating | 2023 Year of the OTP This is my fav 2023 piece because I learned how to create a custom text message AO3 skin, stylize things for plain text reading, and I wrote a whole story that had some plot that was told through text messages. Also, I did not know I could achieve so much spiciness and throw in so many bad pick-up lines through this medium, but hey, the more you know! XD

✩ @schmem14 ✩ Mastermind HP | Harry x Ron; Draco x Harry; Ron x Draco | 10.7k FIC | E rating | Dronarry Fest 2023 This is one of the few times a story just flew out of me. Possessive stalker Draco sets out to win over Ron in this creepy thriller, but there’s a catch: Ron is already in love with Draco’s boyfriend, Harry.

✩ @drwhoisginnyholmes & @fledglinger ✩ Not Bad, For A 6000 Year Old Classic! Good Omens | Aziraphale x Crowley | 11.8k FIC + ART | E rating | DIWS Reverse! Reverse! Mini Bang

✩ @sniperjade ✩ The Sounds of Us HP Marauders | Regulus x Remus | 20.4k FIC | M rating | Remus Lupin Fest 2023; HPFC Spring Fling 2023 I've been thinking about this for a couple of days and whilst I would really love to say it was the drarry I wrote for this fest last year my favourite would have to be this moonseeker I wrote for Remus Lupin Fest last year. It's my favourite because I lived this fic. It became the entirety of my personality for a whole month because I desperately needed to get to the chapter where Regulus was riding on Padfoots back, through the forbidden forest, with only the light of the full moon to guide them, just to try and help Remus. It's also just because it's very musical and I'm very musical so that makes me love it all the more.

✩ @ghaniblue ✩ Sleeping With Ghosts HP | Regulus x Draco x Harry | 21.9k FIC | M rating | Harry Potter Rare Pair Fest IV I posted a Regulus/Harry/Draco fic last month that I'm very fond of. I started writing it more than 1 1/2 years ago, before I ever read a single Regulus fic. It's triad fic, and I'm pretty proud of the way the individual relationships develop. That was important to me, and I think I succeeded. Posting the first fic on ao3 with this triad tag doesn't hurt either.

✩ @celilasart & @wolfspurr ✩ Shifted Teen Wolf | Derek Hale x Stiles Stilinski | 25k FIC + ART | T rating | Sterek Reverse Bang This work was created for sterek reverse bang, a collaboration fest where the artists create first and the writers write second. wolfspurr and I just clicked when we talked about my art and the things that it inspired in their writer brain ;D the result is just an amazingly sweet and wholesome fic, that is still set in the teenwolf universe as we know it. but unlike many other fics which are full of violence and danger, this one starts with a bang and then it is a beautifully woven story of two people who just complete each other. also... the working title for my art was: tiny fox & sour wolf.

✩ @orange-peony ✩ At the speed of light Carry On | Basilton Pitch x Simon Snow | 26.3k FIC | E rating I picked [this fic] because I had a lot of fun writing it! It started off as a drabble and ended up 26k because I just had a blast writing it and the fandom support was so lovely. Last but not least, Pato made an absolutely stunning art piece for this fic, and it was the best present ever.

✩ @wynnyfryd ✩ i don’t know, you figure it out Stranger Things | Steve Harrington x Eddie Munson | 35.4k WIP FIC | E rating bragging about yourself is difficult, but i’ll just say it’s my favorite because i’m proud of myself for sticking to one project for this long, i love all the artwork the fic has inspired, and i just think the line “the river styx must taste like pennies” fucks severely lmao.

✩ @decaflondonfog ✩ growing pains Check Please! | Eric Bittle x Kent Parson | 50k FIC | T rating i am not usually a long fic gal, which i think is in part lack of patience, but also how attached i get to a universe if i’m working on it for a longer period of time. i finished writing this back in june but this fic felt very “me” in many ways and i think about them so often still so it’s definitely my 2023 creation i’m proudest of!

5. Do you respond to comments?

Sometimes. I reply when I have something meaningful to add. Otherwise it'd get very repetitive and generic and that kind of soulless connection isn't really the point of this kind of thing. I adore my comments nonetheless and I read them a lot.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hold on. I gotta skim my list.

update: i do not remember some of these fics or what happened in them

Maybe Modi the Brave (MCU, Thorki). This was an angsty fanfic of a fanfic. There was a happy ending in the original fic, The Rescue by madwriter223

I'm not counting Absolution because it was immediately followed by a sequel. But technically, it did get me the most angry sobbing comments which i treasure to this day.

The Final Straw was angsty but it was also dumb and half-cocked and the closest thing to an embarrassment on this account. It was literally just a half-thought half-scene of my 18yo self's emotional state in 2018 that is very evident that I wrote this angrily in study hall. I wrote a lot of fic in that high school during classes. Like a lot. It was my school computer. I got plenty of use out of it. There was no structure or coherent plot. I didn't even hint at anything deeper to be explored in your own minds. I didn't want to look at it long enough or think about it long enough. I just wanted it out of my head. If I didn't have a strict no deleting my works policy, or hiding from my past art policy, I would probably have deleted it within the week of posting. I do not understand how it has the kudos, subscriptions, and bookmarks that it has. I guess it resonated. Good for y'all. I mean it.

Literally just the entirety of Tyler's Bad Year is meant to be about a very traumatic time in a young man's life and him surviving it. I'm not going to go through them and try to pick out "the worst" one. That's not really the point and it'd be largely subjective.

I'll Eat You Raw has an angsty ending but angstiest? I'm not sure.

I don't write a lot of bad endings. Open endings? sure. Complicated endings? Absolutely. But unhappy endings? No. I don't often have the desire.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Jesus fuck we want to be here all day? Ok lemme look through shit again.

Wandering in the Dark has a whole story behind it. There was actually two versions. Only one was posted to ao3 and is the "canon" version. I wrote this fic for a high school assignment my senior year. We were assigned to pick a chronic disease out of a literal hat, then write a story around it. We had complete creative control so I took that chance to write teen wolf steter fanfic in class and actually have it be on task for once (I got an A in that class btw). The reason my teacher got a dark ending version is because by the time he got back to me on the maximum word count, I'd already finished the canon version and it was way too long. I couldn't trim the fat, so I wrote a different ending to shorten the story. That version is one of the angstier stories I've written. The one posted and linked above, is the very happy by comparison. This fic is also designed to be read by someone who doesn't know shit about teen wolf.

Through Thick and Thin was also extremely happy. As is Her Monster. Benevolent Gods was meant to be very hopeful. The Hale Pack (Undying) was the end to a series that was my baby for a long time . Like long enough you can see my writing evolve as you go. Part one was one of the first things i ever wrote. Like ever. The last part was years later. Jasper was meant to be a very light-hearted, happy story as well. It's extremely sweet and fluffy. You was also very happy and the epilogue cemented that happiness. Warning: She Bites literally had a happy end that unknowingly prevented a main character committing suicide in the near future. Saving lives by being horny. Wednesday Evening, and every installment in that series, is excessively happy as well.

Alright I ran through my list of fics. These were the ones that stood out. There's too many to really commit to one answer tbh. Especially because the way they're happy varies.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really. Or. Well. I'm sure I do. I block antis on sight and I wholly reject purity culture, and I haven't really been the target of a major attack or anything. I don't get as many hateful comments as one might think, and I don't entertain the ones I do get. I've been accused of vile shit of course because of a fic I wrote. I don't remember what fic or even what ship it was for because I don't dwell on them really at all. Aside from that, I get more entitled but probably ignorant to how they come off as entitled comments that aren't really that big a deal. Just a bit of a peeve sometimes. I honestly think the majority of them truly believe it's a kind gesture when they say it.

9. Do you write smut? What kind?

Yeah. You could say that.

What kind? In a word? Intense. I could make a joke or a long elaboration on my niche in hyde sex and whatnot, but at the end of the day, intense. Even my most laid back, domestic, slice of life fics have a sense of intensity to them because otherwise I get bored and it feels soulless and it's just not my writing style.

10. Do you write cross-overs?

When I feel like it. When I have an idea.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! I have a steter fic on a russian fic website that was translated years ago. I have no idea which it was or if it's still there. Wait! I might remember. Yeah no. I don't remember. It wasn't the one I thought of.

12. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

No. I've started to outline one before but it went nowhere and we both forgot about it.

13. What WIP you would like to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Harry Potter and the Night that Changed Everything.

I had a whole novel basically planned for it. Writing Bellatrix and a Harry who was raised by Bellatrix took a lot out of me emotionally, and I lost steam.

Also, a Bella Swan/Marcus Vulturi fic that i also had a novel length plot planned out, wrote three chapters for, and then lost steam when I left the fandom due to getting the life sucked out of me by a bunch of toxic people in the fandom killing my joy. Those chapters are just collecting dust in my files right now. I'd like to go back to it one day and finish it in some form or another. Maybe it's original enough I could actually just write an original novel out of the scraps I already have. Actually, to be honest, it is probably original enough that I could write it as an original story. There is not a lot of Twilight there that is necessary to the story and can easily be written out. Something to think about maybe. Ironically not the first prompt I thought up initially for Twilight that I then realized nothing about Twilight was necessary for the idea I had, and I just wrote it without Bella entirely. This is how my original zombie novel started and then immediately evolved into an entirely different thing that has nothing to do w Twilight. Like literally nothing. I had to work to put the Twilight into that one. Not the other way around.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

wyler (steter and tomarry honorary).

15. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue and characterization

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

pacing. movement heavy scenes. Longer projects if only because I have less practice at them.

17. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Yeah. If it fits, I'll write it. I won't pretend to be fluent, but I'll do my best. Probably won't do anything too complicated for the sake of realism of my abilities. Especially if it's not Spanish which I at least have spent time trying to learn.

18. First fandom you wrote for?

Teen Wolf

19. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Listen...

We've established how well I am at picking one end all number one.

Fuck ok. back to the list.

Water of the Womb was one I was planning to write for almost a year and it turned out pretty good I think. Actually no.

No. It's not a fic that's been posted yet.

I think the favorite fic I've ever written is I Bit Him So He's Mine. it's my "Wednesday is a Hyde season one rewrite au". It's my first novel that is more than just a future novel. It's hit 40k and I have to start Act 2 still. It's my first proper murder mystery where the mystery is the primary plot equal to the romance. I've had a lot of fun with it, I've put my heart and soul into it, and I really look forward to calling it ready to post. Once it's done, you guys are getting regular updates for a long time.

20. What fic would you want to rewrite one day?

Out of the Fire haunts me. It was a lesson to learn. I had the desire to write a steter/hannigram crossover and zero plan of any kind outside that. It crashed and burned because I only had a first chapter in me. I recently met a local and successful author who recognized my ao3 username because of this fic and remembered me years later enough to compliment my writing (I cannot express how much that meant to me). Wait no that might have been Mark of an Angel which also haunts me, but I didn't have zero plan. I had almost no plan, and lost steam when I hit a creative block at a bad time. Normally, I'd have just sat down and workshopped a starter outline and wrote myself out of that block, but I lost steam so I never did. Different deal. Not as impactful in my creative journey. Out of the Fire, however, was very important to me because of why it failed, and remains very influential with every new project I start. Actually rewriting/finishing that project would be a defining moment for me as a writer, I think. At least to me personally.

Saw the open tag from @taste-thewaste on this! This took me down memory lane a bit 🥲

How many works do you have on ao3?

What's your total ao3 word count?

138,797

What fandoms do you write for?

Red, White & Royal Blue mostly but I'm happy to write Heartstopper and og Skam.

I've written for Riverdale, Teen Wolf, Skam France, Wtfock, Druck, Skam Italia & Shadowhunters in the past.

Top five fics by kudos:

Digital Love Letters (RWRB)

i try hard to get back inside your arms alive (RWRB) - and particularly insane as I posted this last week! 🥰)

Right Kind of Wrong (Riverdale)

your heart is your masterpiece (RWRB)

a frightening magic I cling to (RWRB)

Do you respond to comments?

Yes! They make my day, I screenshot my faves. I also love when someone finds a fic that has lots of chapters & I get a flurry of comments 🤌🏻

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Tricky, I don't usually finish on angst. Echo (Wtfock) follows on from a very horrendous part of the show or Season 5 - Magnus (Skam) never got finished so it's been left in the midst of angst.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of them end on a happy note but Love, Henry (RWRB) is probably the happiest.

Do you get hate on fics?

I think there was a little back when I started in Riverdale but I think it more anger on their part for a topic I could have written more sensibly I suppose? I've had critique on fics now but never hate.

Do you write smut?

I've written it one time years ago & it felt weird. I loooove writing foreplay though! But I've not ventured into smut in my current fandoms. That might be something I do though, my bigender Alex fic might go into that if there's sequel.

Craziest crossover:

I've only done one and it was a Riverdale meets Teen Wolf, it was a Christmas special and they had to help reunite Santa with his reindeer. While I haven't watched Riverdale for ages, I'm still really proud of that fic!

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No, thankfully!

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, I'd love that though 😄

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No but I'd absolutely love to collab this year, in the RWRB fandom in particular y'all are so talented 🥲

All time favorite ship?

Firstprince (RWRB) probably. Wilmon (Young Royals) is a close second atm, I'd love to write some YR fics soon. I'm still a massive Yousana (Skam) and Davenzi (Druck) shipper too. Oh and Nathan/Annalise/Gabriel (TBSATDH) - can't remember the ship name! That show got cancelled too soon & it was basically like a fix it for the books.

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have a Teen Wolf reader insert fic with a pregnancy story line that I left on a huge cliffhanger but frustrates me but not enough to motivate to finish it. I also have my Skam season 5 - Magnus fic that I'd love to finish one day but I haven't found the plan I made for it originally.

What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue and character voice I think?

What are your writing weaknesses?

Plotting? I'm good at writing scenes but writing a longer storyline in fanfic is something I struggle with.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

If you can do it, go for it! I wish I could incorporate more Spanish in my RWRB fics but alas I only got French or German at my school, I only stuck with French. Maybe I'll brush up & add some in for Henry (RWRB) or Nick (Heartstopper).

First fandom you wrote in?

Riverdale, I haven't seen it in years 😅

Favorite fic you've written?

i try hard to get back inside your arms alive is the probably the one I'm proudest of and while it isn't finished yet Her Royal Highness is up there cause it combines so many of my favourite things, I'm getting to explore darker topics in some scenes while also putting Henry in drag - fanfic catnip for me quite frankly!

I'm not sure who has done this already but I'll tag folks I want to see answer this: @heysweetheart-writes @candyspandemonium @firenati0n @onthewaytosomewhere @callumsmitchells & of course, open tag 💛

Have you ever seen the Chucky tv series? Definitely not everyone's cup of tea but the way I'm just so stupidly shocked that of all the basic cable tv series written by gay men based on 80s movies... it's the murder doll that took the "fuck you I'm writing a positive portrayal of gay teen boyfriends front and center" approach? They're just out there making fun of each other's come-on attempts and kissing each other nearly every episode? Did we know that was an option? Does Jeff Davis?

i have not but dan mancini created the child's play franchise (ie: chucky) and is openly gay.

wiki linked an interview achieved on the wayback machine he gave to camp blood.

I often find that queer artists – filmmakers, in particular – have a skewed view of the "traditional" family unit. While the killer dolls in the last 2 Child's Play films do seem to share a sort of familial bond, I think it’s fair to say that they’re not exactly Ozzie and Harriet. What’s behind your discussion of family values? As a gay kid, and an athlete, in an Italian family, I had a very contentious relationship with my stereotypically macho father. He wanted me to be an Olympic runner, but as I got into my late teens, I developed other interests -- like filmmaking and guys -- and you can't be an elite runner unless that's the only thing in your life. My relationship with my Dad is reflected, in a metaphoric way, in Glen's relationship with Chucky in Seed: Chucky wants to make a man out of Glen by encouraging him to kill, but Glen wants to remain true to himself. I imagine this sort of parent-child discord is fairly universal, regardless of the kid's sexuality. Most kids tend to rebel, sooner or later -- at least, they do if they're interesting.

i think it's really important to remember that jeff davis was beholden to MTV/Viacom in a different era of television. even a decade ago it was a totally different landscape and that context matters.

mtv was trying out original scripted programming at the time teen wolf was created/aired. they were wanting to capitalize on the supernatural romance craze. they wanted to be legitimate and being legitmate meant having heavy hitting advertisers and winning over particular demographics. none of that would happen with an openly queer protagonist.

it has always been a struggle.

like legend of korra aired it's last episode in 2014 with canon korrasami and all they did was hold hands and that was revolutionary at the time.

jeff did have lofty ambitions for teen wolf and it fell short for many, many reasons and i don't think it rests solely on his shoulders (even as i drag him through the streets of tumblr tarred and feathered). i also think people really sell short just how queer teen wolf is even when it was being forced to not be queer.

and that includes the queerbaiting which it very much did but also i will die upon the hill that sterek is present in the narrative even as it was used for queerbait.

horror as a genre has always been fucking fruity and like werewolves y'all. fucking werewolves.

Fic Rec🙂

Every Time by xxjinchuurikixx - (Rating: T, Words: 700, sterek)

Grinning like an idiot, Stiles inhaled deeply, stretched slowly, and in a searching motion, he reached his arm out and slapped the pillow beside him. * In which there's some fluff and slapping.

This Isn't Love (Yet) by bi_leigh_bi - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 5152, sterek)

Stiles is cold and wet, he's exhausted. He is not in love with Derek Hale, but he invites him inside anyway.

You Call Me A Hero by happyevraftr - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 5233, sterek)

Stiles knows he won’t beat this mysterious dark evil that’s come to devour them. He knows it’s a losing battle and he’s probably going to die anyways, but he still tries. He has to try and save them.

Blessed by the Mother Moon by theonewiththeeyebrows (painfullystoic) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 4527, sterek)

Derek transcends to Alpha, blessed by the Mother Moon. The Druids come out of the fog and bless his ascension to power with an unlikely gift, prompted by an ancient prophecy.

A Chance Worth Taking by ash_mcj - (Rating: G, Words: 1885, sterek)

When Derek woke up, he thought he was in a dream.

There were posters littering the familiar forest green walls that he hadn’t seen in years—Star Trek, Black Eyed Peas, even a Destiny’s Child one he had completely forgotten was on the back of his bedroom door that he’d stolen from Laura’s wall when she’d left for college. A burgundy and white letterman jacket was slung over his desk chair, bold letters spelling his surname and his basketball number across the back with Beacon Hills Cyclones Basketball on the lower half.

This wasn’t possible—this room had burned to ash years ago, and his nightmares almost never featured such simple scenes as this one. There were no foreboding feelings, no sharp smell of smoke, no guilt-inducing screams.

And just as he was about to dig his clawed hand into his thigh in an attempt to wake himself from this maybe-dream, he remembered. ___

[or: with the help of some magic, Derek and Stiles go back in time—giving them the opportunity to save not only their future pack, but also the first one Derek lost]

(Teen Wolf Bingo Square: Time Travel)

(Fall)ing In Love With Autumn (& You) by alisvolatpropiis - (Rating: Not Rated, Words: 2877, sterek)

Just some fluffy Fall sweetness for y'all!

From a prompt on Tumblr: "i wanted to really embrace the fall spirit so i raked my leaves into a big pile and have been jumping around in it for ages and your moving truck just pulled up beside my house, so hi i’m your new not-weird neighbour.”

Remember What's Lost by AMatchInWater - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 7776, sterek)

Wild Hunt AU, Stiles gets taken and Derek instantly knows something is wrong with his memory, but just doesn't know what until Lydia calls him, begging for his help to get Stiles back because she thinks they have the strongest connection. When Derek saves Stiles he stops at nothing to finally get what's his.

My Spark for You by nightlight9 - (Rating: G, Words: 2779, sterek)

Stepping over the threshold, Stiles takes a deep breath. He may not be a werewolf, but the smell of Derek’s house is still overwhelming. Everything is warm inside, a perfect contrast to the cold chill outside. He's so happy to be home.

Trying to Break Through by coffeeinallcaps - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 5507, sterek)

At first, it’s just sex.

It’s good sex – Derek comes every time, Stiles comes every time, says things like “whoa,” and “do that again, yeah, yeah, like that, fuck,” – but still: it’s just sex. They don’t speak much, at first. They don’t kiss as much as bite down on each other’s bottom lips and breathe heavily into each other’s mouths when they’re about to blow their load. Derek is not sure if it qualifies as kissing at all. He’s not sure if he wants it to.

(He’s not sure why he wants it to.)

Quicken by reillyblack - (Rating: Mature, Words: 4299, sterek)

Derek had not been aware that Stiles was a virgin. Derek tried, often, not to think about Stiles and sex. He didn't succeed, but he did try. And Stiles has to know that, has to be doing this to him on purpose. No one is this thick.

For example, Scott knows exactly what Stiles is doing to him.

Scott.

A few things abt myself as a Teen Wolf fan:

I found it in high school after all six seasons had released, I know nothing abt fan opinions as the show came out

I binge watched it in high school (a time I DO NOT remember clearly)

I started it bc Daniel Sharman is in it and I loved him in Originals

I often am playing games on my phone while watching Most Shows. Teen Wolf is not a show you should do this with. I cannot remember any canon plots curiously

I can never remember what is fanon and what is canon, but I'm vibing in my own bubble so 🤷

I have not watched the teen wolf movie and based on the reasons I personally enjoy the show, I probably will not watch the movie

Idk I just think this is all funny bc like. Y'all I Do Not Remember any clear things abt teen wolf at any given point in time. But I love it. Normally when I love a show this much I can explain every detailed plot ever (like originals) but not for teen wolf. There is too much

#jasper rambles #teen wolf #idk man i was just thinking abt this so i wrote it

TOP SHIPS OF ALL TIME:

this is in no order but it will be numbered for my sanity.

1. slexie - mark and lexie/greys anatomy

• i am so attached to this ship, i have never sobbed so hard an my life than when i first watched the season 8 finale/season 9 premiere of greys anatomy. i still rewatch only their seasons quite often.

2. catradora - catra and adora/SPOP

• ultimate comfort ship, i rewatch she ra whenever i am going through it. i first watched it when i was 15 and i still watch it for comfort. 15 is a nostalgic age for me, she ra reminds me of what it was like before anxiety. 😩

3. korrasami - korra and asami/LOK

• another comfort ship, comfort show, etc. lok and avatar are more shows i watched when i was 15, when the pandemic hit i was almost 16. i was locked up in my room, no school, no going out, no friends. i had a basement room with a couch and a huge tv, i spent MANY weeks watching netflix on that couch and the feeling was immaculate. i rewatch the atlau shows VERY often.

4. bellarke - bellamy and clarke/the 100

• once again another comfort show, i rewatch the 100 annually and have been watching it since season 4 came out. my dad started watching it, then my mom, then my sister. it became a show we watched all together, and i had a little ritual when it came to new seasons. i am an impatient person in some ways more than others, i do not have the patience to maintain interest when watching episodes weekly but i have no issue waiting for the whole season to be out. so every year as the episodes came out, i ignored them. when they all hit netflix, i would binge. however, for season 7 of the 100 i waited 2 years. i think i was procrastinating letting it end. bellarke was THE slowburn. i was so sure they would end up together, in a way im glad they didn't, but i loved them so much. i cannot describe the way that i feel when watching them and this show.

5. clexa - clarke and lexa/the 100

• GAY SLOWBURN. y'all i have so many fics i read consistently about clexa. i have like 3 on shuffle that i've read 10 times minimum. i cry like a bitch every time i rewatch s2-3 of the 100.

6. avatrice - ava and beatrice/warrior nun

• so i had heard a lot and seen a lot about this show before i actually watched it, which was actually in january of this year, several months after the 2nd (and final 🥲) season came out. i QUICKLY fell in love w both avatrice and ava/beatrice as individuals. i also read a lot of avatrice fics and cry thinking abt it being cancelled 😭

7. stydia - stiles and lydia/teen wolf

• BEST SLOWBURN OF ALL TIMEEE. it's weird to think teen wolf ended SIX years ago, this is another show i rewatch annually and what's funny is when i was 12 watching this show i did not care for stydia. i liked scott's relationships with allison and kira, never paid much attention to stiles and lydia until i was 16/17 and i rewatched and realized that they are AMAZING.

8. sameena - sam and deena/fear street

• MORE ANNUAL REWATCH SERIES. i LOVE LOVE LOVE these movies, and when i say sam and deena i am also including sarah and hannah. ex's/enemies to lovers in HORROR? forbidden love? sapphics? say less.

9. glaggie - glenn and maggie/twd

• so this was my first ship ever. started watching this when i was 11, i watched it over and over and over, i read the first 3 compendiums of the comics, then season 7 rolled around, i watched three first episode live then never watched another episode last season 6 again.

10. delena - damon and elena/tvd

• honestly they sort of give me the ick now but 12 year old me ATE that shit up, would also like to add they were my sexual awakening. i remember watching one of their spicy scenes and feeling a little funny 🥴

11. wayhaught - waverly and nicole/wynonna earp

• hottest ship ever. i fucking love them and i still need to watch the most reason season which is not that recent.

12. (honorable mention) camren - camila and lauren/5h

• camren gets only an honorable mention bc i don't ship them anymore, but they were MY gay awakening. when i was 13 i discovered fifth harmony and, naturally, i discovered ✨camren fanfiction✨ i literally did not know i was gay until i started reading fics about them. it just clicked when i felt more reading than i ever had for real life boys. :) anyways i don't support shipping real people anymore at my ripe age of 18.

exo-l tag challenge

so now that exo's coming back to properly celebrate their 10th anniversary, thought i'd send this around so we can have a wee giggle and reminisce

dunno if any of my moots are still active anymore so feel free to do this whether or not you follow me! also feel free to tag me, need some new exo-l blogs to follow as my dash is very exo-less

when did you first learn of exo?

this is really cringy but i first saw exo in twenty-fourteen on a 'youtubers react to k-pop', they were reacting to "overdose" and i kid you not, i was so put off their styling i wanted nothing to do with it. i hated it (and i still bloody do)

and then, a little while later they put out a 'teens react to exo' and i hadn't connected they were the same group. anyways, i saw yixing with that blonde hair and my mind went "that one, i like that one"

so don't let anyone ever tell you a visual is a stupid position

(it was probably a lot to do with the fact the boy i really liked had the same hairstyle)

turns out, my friend at the time was vaguely into them (she was more into super junior & shinee) and we just clicked over that and the rest was history

who was / is your bias?

yixing was my first bias ever, and i vaguely remember bouncing around yixing + luhan but i think like a month in jongdae committed the cardinal sin of a bias wrecker and became the ult bias

don't ask me how, it might have been showtime? but yeah jongdae's been my ult since twenty-fifteen. oh god.

where you team exo-k / exo-m?

i was pretty openly exo-m, because yixing was my bias and would only exclusively listen to their versions of the b-sides, until "the war" and it's funny that jongdae became my bias because i really don't think it was his vocals that sold me on him because i was too busy thinking "i wish lay would get more lines"

now looking back, yeah jongdae (and yixing) were my bias individually but as a collective, i preferred exo-k (also, "candy" and "mirotic" were better than "sorry sorry" + "happiness")

favourite m/v?

"lotto". not my favourite song in the world but the aesthetics, the 'plot', jongdae in the white smashing up that table with a hammer? ugh, love it. jongdae and baekhyun's era.

i love a music video with a plot, i would love to see them do a "now" or "365 fresh" but i don't think my heart could take it lol

honourable mentions: monster & i love 'love shot' probably because its in the same vain as "lotto" if it were less plot, more vibes.

also chanyeol with no shirt and that black leather, ugh.

the music video isn't my favourite, but i love the 'alice in wonderland' aspect of "love me right"

favourite album?

i think it really depends on what day you ask me, also my favourite album isn't always the one i think its their best. i'm really enjoying the obsession album right now but the "love me right (exodus)" is exo's magnum opus and dare i say "lotto (ex'act)" is the best sequel since shrek two.

but i really didn't like "love shot (don't mess up my tempo)" and it killed me inside but i only liked two of the b-sides

top ten tracks?

exodus

heaven

thunder

my lady

forever

cosmic railway

white noise

hurt

christmas day

fall

favourite soloist / subunit?

unit is absolutely exo-cbx. their "hey mama" mini-album is a no-skip album, their second mini wasn't really for me but "vroom vroom" is amazing also jongdae's "watch out" is brill but i can't listen to it without remembering him decking it on stage

that said, i still mourn the concept of chenbaeksoo unit and i'm still really disappointed sment didn't milk the shit out of that trio like kry or tts before them

favourite performance?

it feels a bit cliche to say the "wolf (remix)", the olympics or "artificial love" so i think i'll have to go with twenty-fifteen's mama set it was fantastic, show stopping and a bit chaotic

but shout-out to baek's "monster" in tokyo dome. y'all baby exo-l missed out on the shitstorm that was tumblr / twitter.

also, not a 'favourite' but cbx in "run this" at the golden disk awards being visibly pissed-off and screaming into their mics because of the "lip-sync" rumor

your exo hot take?

not an unpopular "hot take" but i know folk get stick for it

i really dislike superm, like seriously. i really dislike sm's management of it. sm had a perfectly good group to go up against bts on a global stage and they screwed it up. they weren't rookies like most of nct, they weren't too "out there" like shinee and the less said about suju the better.

also, they're a 'global group' yet all their best songs are mostly korean.

but they squandered it, they prioritised the nct brand both with the group itself and superm and tacked exo + taemin into their daft group to make older fans give a shit and they took away exo's chance at their final ot8/9 comeback before enlistment.

also, whilst it was for the better, kris leaving exo really stilted their international growth as a unit and individuals, honestly just the china line generally as they are collectively a lot stronger in their english as opposed to the korean members

showtime, ladder or arcade?

overall, ladder but i love showtime, especially episode eleven. i think that's when i first thought "hey that really fucking loud guy is pretty cute"

collab you'd like to see (western + k-pop)?

in regards to sm, i would love to see taeyeon, wendy, kyungsoo and jongdae take a shot at either a jazz or r'n'b collab track.

k-pop generally, baekyeol + dreamcatcher

western, bruno mars & kyungsoo

what would you like for exo to do next?

sm please! give me an english version of their title! almost everyone else at sm has one! hell, there was literally an english version of "the eve"!

but also, royalty concept (they've bloody earned it and exo-l's can't keep suggesting it every comeback)

but personally, it'd love to see a twenties or thirties "great gatsby" concept

funniest exo moments(s)?

"say hey!" that entire performance is a disaster, baek getting interrupted, then spooked by a pyro and finally jongdae decking it in the dance break of "growl"

the water fight during exoluxion

jongdae's outbrust at sehun on knowing bros

exomentary's bowling episode (rip chanyeol)

sehun and the beluga whale

the exo-l screaming "yah baekhyun!"

jongdae scaring the shit out of doni on weekly idol (deserved)

everyone yelling that baekhyun picked 'i got a boy' and not ‘gee’ like a normal person (personally luhan made the best choice)

baek, tao and luhan's haunted house run

heechul's various impressions of kyungsoo on knowing bros

favourite line?

chingu, we never get to see them anymore but they (especially the beagles) were always tied to the hip, that said i've defo gone soft for the maknae line

who's the traitor? is there one?

kris it's absolutely jongdae. i know folk think it's baekhyun but or chanyeol but after "lotto", i feel like that rules out chanyeol and baekhyun after "monster".

jongdae seems to be doing the opposite to everyone in these music videos whilst still being 'apart of it'

like: the white shirt in "lotto", standing at the 'last supper', the cameras in obsession, the smashing of their earnings in "lotto" the 'no fucks given attitude' when the swat shows up, unlike the rest of the group

favourite pathcode?

baekhyun, its so pretty but i also love sehun's as a resident scot

favourite cursed moment(s)?

"my name is baekhyun, but you can call me bacon" stfu bake-hun

suho meeting jedward

chanyeol's nick mask

exo: next door (side note: why was exo-m + jongin just not in the show?)

baekhyun's 'best looking' ranking on weekly idol

"wolf" demo

who's "baby-girl" are you picking?

kyungsoo's in "call me baby" but shout-out to jongdae's underrated one in "juliet"

favourite exo collab?

i've got a few, probably "lil' something" with jongdae & heize or his collab with ailee

it kills me that taeyeon was unwell whilst singing with jongdae also, chanyeol's collab with far east movement

favourite cover?

vocal line + sehun's "why so serious"

exo & yuna kim's "happiness" (vocal line sound brill in this)

sunday morning

#exo #jongin #baekhyun #chanyeol #kyungsoo #junmyeon #sehun #jongdae #minseok #yixing #kai #chen #suho #lay #xiumin #my posts

MUN INTRO: Hey y'all! I’m back back back again! I took about a four year hiatus from roleplaying, real life got hectic! You can refer to me as Fae, that is the moniker i’ve chosen to go by. A little background on my role play experience: I started on Roleplay.me and proboards forums (and whatever forum rp sites predate proboards), I eventually moved off of Roleplay.me onto Tumblr at a whim and a friend of mine I had met on Roleplay.me introduced me to the whirlwind of tumblr! I started writing at the age of eleven, my writing definitely improved with roleplay both for pleasure writing and academically! I started out a twihard and HP fanatic, those were the main fandoms I repped. As my writing improved I started frequenting forum roleplay sites more often and tumblr became secondary. It was nice to have the world as my oyster! Muse was high and there were endless fandoms to join! Eventually I ditched forums as they became too demanding of my time and with my coursework it wasn’t feasible to do forums and tumblr. Some of y'all know me from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when, I am looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and making new ones too!

DISCLAIMER: I do have a busy work schedule, I will be slow to reply. My work is very demanding, I’d like to think I am a real life version of McGee/Abby Scuito and Garcia mixed into one. I am also back in Uni again, continuing my education in IT/CyberSec working towards a master’s. Real life takes precedence but my goal is to at least be online 2-3 times a week (as my schedule permits) Please be patient with me, I promise I haven’t forgotten you! I do have an ACTIVE DISCORD that is reserved for mutuals! otherwise you can reach me via the built in tumblr IM or my asks!

Just some random thought about Baldur's gate and Sterek. How do you think Derek would react to meeting and hearing Volo speak?

Stiles has annoyed Derek sometimes, but he listens and pays attention what humans says. Even if they fight about the plans and which is the correct way to proceed.

Though with Volo, I think he would have zero patience.

do y'all remember that one post from years ago where the avengers was really just one intense d&d session? i'm thinking of teen wolf that way now lmao

i think someone asked me what i thought stiles and derek would be once in a d&d setting so...

paladin derek would try to "accidentally" leave volo at every camp and fails. everyone knows he's doing this except volo who is just vibing and shows up at the next camp.

he'd eventually get over it. somewhat.

summary || stiles walks into a coffee shop and tries to get some studying done

a/n || it's been like two months i am so sorry guys writer's block's a bitch. also, the ending to this one is a bit rushed, but i've had the idea for a long time and finally decided to write it. also, fun fact, i never finished season 6b of teen wolf, so i know that this is probably not timeline accurate. this fic includes fbi intern stiles. hope y'all enjoy!

warnings || fluff/angst

the rich smell of coffee emanated from the machines behind me, the softer aroma of the pastries in the glass display providing a perfect complement. the room was nearly empty, save for a young man glued to his computer, and a couple of middle-aged women holding a low, cheerful conversation over their coffees. it was empty to the point where my manager really didn’t mind me scrolling through my phone, an earbud in as i tried to pass the time.

luckily, it was nearly the end of my shift, and i glanced at the clock every once in a while. once the hour hand rested neatly over the elegant ‘3’, i’d be able to pack my bags and go home. deciding that doing nothing was just a waste of time, i placed my phone into my back pocket, turning around to tidy the workspace and clean the dishes that had accumulated from the much busier rush in the morning - when i’d see the regulars.

a group of friends - likely from a nearby college - would come in during their morning breaks almost every day. they would gossip, joke, and tease each other for nearly an hour, always making sure to ask about my day as i handed them their drinks. a friend - my coworker - had suggested that one of them had a bit of a crush on me, but i always brushed it off.

then there was an elderly couple who would come in early in the morning, saying that they were popping in for breakfast after a walk by the lake. they always made me smile, the both of them extremely charming and caring.

other than those, we always had an influx of people coming in to work in a quiet environment - always the least needy customers, and always quite polite. i tended to noticed the new faces, but could never really remember any of them.

the dishes were easy enough to clean, and i stacked them on the drying rack, before going into the back room. i smiled at my coworker, tamara - the same friend who’d attempted to goad me into flirting with the student from earlier. she was in charge of baking the goods, always in earlier than me to ensure all the ingredients were in the right place.

“where’s mickey?” i ask as i pass her, looking into the oven as i watched the cakes slowly rise. mickey was our manager - always tried hard not to be overbearing, but was also always nowhere to be found. she snorted.

“i went into his office 10 minutes ago - poor guy’s passed out.” i smiled along with her. mickey’d just had a baby, and the little rascal - adorable, but a rascal nonetheless - had resulted in one too many sleepless nights for him.

“guess we’ll let him be then,” she nodded in agreement,and i remembered what i’d come in here for, “hey, anything done - that i can take out yet?” she nodded, pointing to a tray that she’d set aside to cool down.

“was gonna give them to you, but they need a few more minutes.” i shrug.

“no one’s out there anyways, they’ll cool down before they’re needed.” i use a pair of tongs to pile the pastries onto a plate, when i hear the familiar chime that always accompanied the door opening. rushing a little, i give tamara another smile and walk back out to the counter.

i can see the figure of a man by the door, his face being obscured by the lighting. deciding to wait until he came up to order, i slowly open the display and started gently placing the pastries. out of my peripheral, i can see him walking up to the counter. i place the last pastry in, and dust my hands, turning so i was facing him.

his dark brown hair seems paler in the dim lighting of the room. he has a bit of a shakiness - a nervousness - to him. he’s got the same dark circles around his eyes that mickey does.

he’s really pretty.

i attempt to brush it off, putting on a more professional face, and give him a small smile.

“hello, sir, what can i get for you?” he looks at me, blinking a little, as his mouth opens. nothing comes out for a second, before he clears his throat.

“uhm, i - do you have any suggestions?” my countenance is quizzical for a half-second, before i lean closer to him and tilt my head back to look at the menu above our heads. i knew it like the back of my hand, but, right now - i felt like i’d forgotten everything.

“well, are you looking for something sweet, or for something to wake you up?” he thinks about it for a second.

“i guess something to wake me up.” i fight the urge to smile, knowing it was the obvious answer, as i lean back.

“well, i guess then you’d be looking for an espresso. but, between you and me - i’d suggest the cappuccino.” he nods.

“sure, i’ll take that, then.”

“anything else? a pastry, a sandwich, maybe?” he glances over the display, before settling on an almond and caramel bun. i take it out for him, placing it on a plate, and handing it to him, “i’ll have your coffee in just a moment.”

drink in hand, i go over to hand it to him. his half-eaten pastry is on one corner of the table, and a couple of textbooks surround a notebook right in front of him. he seems lost in thought, and jerks a little when i ask for him.

“hey! i have your coffee.” he nods, taking the cup from me and placing it onto one of the few empty places left on the table. i know i should get back to the counter, but curiosity gets the better of me, and i peek over his shoulder to glance at the contents of the textbooks.

‘the factors that lead to a spot on the fbi’s most wanted list include…’

‘officers dealing with hostile subjects should…’

‘even after getting a face-altering surgery, certain things will allow a suspect to be identified…’

“uh - i promise i’m not a criminal.” the man makes a lighthearted comment, and i smile - both at the joke, and to mask the embarrassment of being caught.

“sorry, sir. it just seemed interesting and -”

“no need to be sorry! i - this is technically homework?” i raise an eyebrow, confused as to what kind of school would assign this stuff as homework, “tell you what, if there’s no one coming in, maybe you could sit here with me? i’ll buy you a coffee.” i pause for a second, shocked that this cute guy was willing to buy me a coffee. brushing it off, i nodded slowly.

“i’d love to.”

he didn’t end up buying me a coffee, as i’d insisted that i didn’t really want it. funny enough, working at a coffee shop had made my previous enjoyment of coffee dim significantly.

he’d explained the work he was doing. apparently, he’d been chosen for an internship at the fbi, and the branch he was working with was based out of this city. he’d told me his name - stiles - and he had rolled his eyes as i suppressed a smile.

“i’m so sorry, i-”

“don’t be, even my friends tease me for it.” his face dropped a little, “well, they used to, anyways.”

he’d told me that he was newly 18, a sentiment that i had shared, and that he used to go to high school in california.

“- and there’s my best friend scott; he’s a menace sometimes, but i love him to bits -”

i’d responded in kind with stories of my own - similar stories about school, quirks of the city that i’d been exposed to and, of course, the coffee shop.

he seemed so self-assured by the end - a complete juxtaposition to the man who’d come in. the clock minute hand on the clock indicated that the end of my shift happened ages ago, and one of my coworkers had come in to take over for me, but i stayed at the cafe for at least another half-hour. while i knew this wasn’t the best way for stiles to be studying, him being able to explain the concepts and details that he’d been learning about seemed to really boost his confidence concerning the subject matter.

i’d had to leave after that, but not before i’d scribbled my number on the same notepad i usually use to take customers’ names, and handed it to him. he sent me a soft smile, and i could see him clutching it in his hand as the bell above the door clinked, and i stepped out into the warm afternoon.

stiles looked at the number in his hand, shocked that someone so pretty would want to talk to him - him! he smiled, adding it to his contacts, before taking a once-over at his recent calls.

lydia - 20 days ago

scott - 18 days ago

malia - 12 days ago

scott - 12 days ago

scott - 11 days ago

fuck.

it still jarred him a little that his best friends - the people he used to speak to everyday, multiple times a day - were slowly becoming more of a distant memory. of course, they were probably all busy, and the work from the internship was aggressively kicking stiles’ ass.

he tended to get a little - well, not upset, but maybe a bit nostalgic. this internship was both a blessing and a curse. he’d always have to remind himself that he was working at the fbi, his childhood dream - something the hours of true crime shows, detective novels and investigating for scott and the rest should have prepared him for. but, during those quiet moments, he’d always ask himself if it was worth it. leaving his friends behind, not knowing what was going on, or what was happening to them.

not to forget, his almost nonexistent social life. stiles’d never been two great at making friends, and his stubborn personality was a bit of a deterrent. besides, he knew everyone else at the internship was just as swamped as he was.

in fact, he’s pretty sure that this coffee shop conversation had been the first time in a few weeks he’d sat down and actually talked to someone. strangely enough, instead of that upsetting him, it made him happy to know he wasn’t a total hermit. it made him happier to know that of all the people he could have been talking to, it was her.

for a moment, he thought about the pretty smile she’d given him every time he’d made a joke.

that was when he’d decided it would probably be best for him to start turning over a new leaf - having a new start. something about her had plastered a smile of his own over his face, and he was determined to try a little harder. he glanced back at his phone. he wasn’t sure if he’d call his friends anytime soon. he might, he might not.

but he knew for sure he’d call her.
