Could you give us some good dadbastian fanfic? Oneshots, incomplete, completed anything really, i am starved and need some more food other than coattails(which i love very much!)

Hey there, thanks so much for being a Coattails reader! As an aside, I'm not sure if you're totally caught up or not, but sorry I don't yet have an idea of when the next part will be ready. I only have 4k words written so far and chapter 33 is looking to be another doozy... I'll be sure to keep everyone informed of when we're close 🫡

Anyway, I have no idea if you're like me when it comes to Dadbastian, but I'm pretty particular about what I enjoy. Angst has to play a factor in some form, for instance. I also don't like it when Ciel and Seb are too sappy with each other without it being earned. There's a reason Coattails had like 250k words of build-up before Sebastian actually accepted his Dadbastian fate.

With that in mind, here are my suggestions!

bottom of the deep blue sea by sunflowergiorno Easily one of my favorite Dadbastian fics, hands down. I remember going positively bananas waiting for the second part to come out. It's so gentle and tender and honest. It perfectly showcases the thoughts and feelings I'd hoped for Sebastian and Ciel to have to approach after their experience on the Campania. Words, Strings, and Butterfly Wings by Kimberly_T I love this story so dearly, and it's tragic that it's unfinished. This fic is a retelling of the Circus Arc, in which Ciel and Sebastian must actually pretend to be father and son, sometimes with hilarious results, other times endearing. A major inspiration behind Coattails for sure. I would die for Falco, an original character who to me is more endearing than any of the canon Noah's Ark cast members.

Dadbastian Week Drabbles by HeartLeftovers Nobody does angst like HeartLeftovers, and you'll drink up her poetic language like nectar. My personal favorite is Midnight, but read Magnifying Glass and Domesticated Wolf first for the full impact of the final stanza.

Sensorium by OtherCat Short but sweet. A story about how Sebastian helps Ciel at the beginning of the contract to stop thinking like a boy trapped in a cage. I love that it shows that Sebastian couldn't possibly have frightened Ciel into becoming an earl: he had to actually coax Ciel towards it.

Singing in the Silence by Kimberly_T Another one from Kimberly_T. Not strictly Dadbastian, but a story about the servants learning how to help Ciel with his PTSD in their very own inventive and roundabout way. Heart-meltingly adorable. It's canon to me, dammit.

Front Page News by TheArchaeologist Also not strictly Dadbastian (in fact, Ciel is incapacitated the whole time), but I only need the slightest reason to suggest this Phantomfam-centric fic. Mey-Rin's voice is especially realized. Even though you already know Sebastian, Snake, and Ciel will make it back from the Campania in one piece, you feel the Pham's worry palpably.

Through the Years by Kimberly_T Can you tell yet that I love Kimberly_T? Admittedly, this one I haven't read with perfect thoroughness, but I can tell you that the Dadbastian moments are peak. Ciel hires a new maid, a woman who nearly killed him when he invaded a brothel on a mission for the Queen. Please mind that this involves some discussions of SA. Also mind that the story largely centers around an original character, but no one does OCs like Kimberly.

ad perpetuam memoriam by redrobin1989 Only Dadbastian if you squint, but my god if you haven't read it yet go do it now.

I also have my Dadbastian week drabbles, Cutting Teeth, if you haven't read those! I hope that's given you some food for the time being. Eat up and enjoy!

that scene in chapter 11 made me chuckle, so I had to draw it ! from the excellent Coattails by @pain-in-the-butler

Chapter one of Coattails be like

I'm a shy reader, which is why I don't comment, but I REALLY needed to make some Coattails art. @pain-in-the-butler I really love your history, I was supposed to do a fanart but the inspiration hit me like a truck and, well, it ends up being a little comic of Chapter 29

Coattails art for @pain-in-the-butler

"My child fell down the stairs."

Coattails Sebastian: Why were you not watching her? Are your stairs not bubble wrapped? Are you not feeding your child organic home- grown food?DID YOU NOT DOUSE YOUR CHILD WITH ESSENTIAL OILS?!

Also Coattails Sebastian, but a year ago: LMFAO

Added bonus:

Canon(?) Sebastian: Catches him in the most flamboyant, extra manner. Now Now, Young Master, if you wished to go to the Salon, walking down the stairs would have sufficed. You needn't hurl yourself down them. ;)

chapter 19 & chapter 23 Coattails!Sebastian be like:

from @pain-in-the-butler 's fanfiction Coattails

I literally made this blog just to share this lololol

obviously, he doesn't blame the midford children for their absence lol I just wanted to fill out the meme format. Despite his feelings, I do think he recognizes that the midfords's help in their own distant way

This might be the best piece of content I think I've ever made about kuro. I really want a strong start to this blog haha

Currently doing my monthly rereading of Coattails

after a week I finally got to read @pain-in-the-butler 's chapter 28 of Coattails ^v^

one of the beauties of this fanfic is as I've said, the imagery, so whenever I read a chapter my brain is full of scenes and I always crave to capture them, atleast how I see them. unfortunately, I don't always get to do that... but drawing a silly little thing to capture the essence of the chapter is just as good for me.

anyway yea. this chapter was very rainy. I'm 50% serious cause I think he was wet 50% of the time. even if I'm wrong, I couldn't get rid of the image.

black butler fans 2017: things are getting so real in the manga!! we're about to understand EVERYTHING. I have so many theories based on the actual series. the anime was nothing but a bad dream shhh THE MANGA IS SO GOOD RIGHT NOW OMG WTF IS HAPPENING I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER

black butler fans 2023: ciel microwave now. the aloises are back and they're religious. watch your fav eat shit in a poll about them. maurice is back. oh a chapter? forget that, coattails had an update

Oh shit it’s finally done

This is fanart for the incredible, amazing, heart-warming-and-wrenching (it has range) Coattails by @pain-in-the-butler which you can read here. It’s one of the best fanfics I’ve read ever, every chapter is an absolute delight, all the characters are so in-character and also so well and interestingly utilised, and if you haven’t read it you absolutely should. It will recover the years of your life that the season 2 rewatch everyone was doing at one point took off you.

So, I am a horse girl, I love horses, and I actually don’t mind drawing them, so obviously I had to do fanart of Ciel with the Irish and Avalon in chapter 23. The horses are truly one of the highlights of this fic: Ciel’s interactions with them are so sweet, and Sebastian’s are usually quite amusing.

Also this did take me literally forever because I took up cross-stitch and then life kept happening and also I struggled with horse shading for some reason

A compilation of art for my Dadbastian fanfic Coattails that I commissioned from the incredibly talented @tomoyoo! They went above and beyond with the details... Each picture feels as cozy and warm as a storybook, right? I'm so delighted with how they turned out!! Thank you for making each one so beautiful! 🥹🥹🥹

Some brilliant gorgeous art I did based on coattails chapter 30 uwu

He is sopping wet and struggling

How did we get here, from Ciel hitting puberty to a horse being framed for murder and sent to the knackery. How.

Ok, time to Coattails fanart (if someone here haven't read it, go to read it NOW!!)

So a little fanart from the burning letters scene in chapter 18, I loved that moment. I'm currently re-reading and wanted to draw it.

@pain-in-the-butler Hope you like it!

(I know Ciel wasn't standing in that scene but I didn't know how to draw him sitting down without ruining the composition, so let's ignore that)

Also, funny thing

I had to do this thing to understand how to draw the office cuz I'm absolutely incapable to do it with the diagram alone

Currently continuing Coattails by @pain-in-the-butler . Made another meme about it.

Live Sebastian reaction
