dancing beneath the moon – @delopsia ↳ rhett abbott x reader

WHY I LOVE IT

I’ve read most of Del’s fics, each one better than the last, but Dancing Beneath the Moon is something else entirely. Not only is Rhett a ghost, but he’s a little shit who makes Reader’s life a little more interesting. Del’s trademark attention comes out in full force, painting a picture so vivid it feels like I’m standing in the room as the story unfolds. The way Del describes Rhett’s ghostly appearance and presence is so different from anything else I’ve read, and it was amazing to read. As the story progresses, you get a sense of longing and despair woven through every word. Rhett and Reader yearn for each other, long for a world where he’s alive and they can be together, and your heart truly aches for them. A standout element of this story is the humor, and while it isn’t a humorous story, it provides a break from the tension. Rhett and Reader are clearly comfortable and aren’t afraid to poke fun at each other. Reader’s amusement at Rhett’s confusion about a video game consol was truly precious, and as readers, we feel the affection they feel toward him. The smut is another brilliant part of this fic. Del could teach a masterclass on writing smut that is both filthy but also intimate and sweet. I love the moment of them stumbling up the stairs because Rhett’s a little unsteady on his feet. I love that he’s mindful of being dirty and uses Reader’s fingers as opposed to his own. I love the inclusion of lube. They’re joking and laughing and enjoying themselves, and it shows even as it gets hot and heavy. The ending is just another layer that I absolutely adore. Del pulls back and looks at the bigger picture, and gives us a vague idea what happened to Rhett that made him a ghost, but it’s never spelled out. And finally, Rhett being confused by crabs is so fucking funny that I laughed out loud.

TOP 3 REASONS YOU SHOULD READ IT TOO

➛ Ghost!Rhett but make it sexy. That's it. That's the reason.

➛ Attention to detail and truly atmospheric writing sets this fic apart from others. It feels like you're moving through the story with the characters.

➛ Rhett being a little shit and possessive menace is so funny, and it made me chuckle several times while reading. I'm sure you'll do the same.

A NOTE ON THE PROCESS

fics are assigned a number. i then use a random generator and recommend you the fic corresponding to the number the tool picks. all recs are my personal favorites. if there's an author whose work you think i should check out, please reach out.

Shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. (I'm sure it will be Bruce-) Then copy/paste this ask to some of your mutuals. 💌💜

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

My fav plalist right now is the playlist for The Wrong Way, my dark joel over at my dark account, @romana-after-dark a lil self promo. The vibes of this playlist perfectly fit the series. I wont lie, there is a lot of taylor swift here which is ironic bc i laregly cant stand her music but my god can she make a few divestating songs per album

Little One, Highly Suspect: This song needed to be here bc the reader is called little one by Joel <3

Cancer, MCR: It just fit the rock vibes of the playlist and the hopelessness of the series

Love the Way You Lie: TBH what I should've named the whole series. It fit better. But parts 1, 2, and 3 are all on this playlist

The Ghost of you, MCR: LISTEN. Im an emo okay? This song was the title for the sequel series. "At the end of the world one more last thing i see, you are never coming home"

Landslide, fleetwood mac: What Joel sings and plays to little one, then lies and tells her he wrote the song bc she doesnt know any better. A small lie that just shows how easy lying to her his, that even in this meaningless thing he couldnt be honest.

No bruce! The ROF playlist has more but I think this on only has im on fire!!!!

Thank Del <3

"i ought to be thy adam, but i am rather the fallen angel"

a bunch of character portraits i did instead of working on shit i should have been working on!!

charlemagne (chip), jarvis, del, acer, and ajax (in that order! yahoo!)

ive been trying to push my colors more especially when i have symbolism in mind for a character. i like how these turned out :^)

i also drew their PC's portraits for the game they play!! (below the cut)

wait, okay. the image desc for that is so long you cant read it. ill paste it.

[image ID:

a series of five portraits.

first portrait: On a slate grey background with jets leaving contrails between sparse grey clouds, an older man with prominent white mutton chops and a cap that covers his eyes. He has two large catlike ears that stick out from under his hat, and a vaguely catlike nose. He wears a large dark-colored cloak. His colors are muted blues and greys, and his expression is not readable. Second Portrait: A saturated blue background strung with dark wires and splotches of teal. A whitish-blue android with an oblong head and a scope for one eye. He is smooth and polished, with a large black cord connecting his head to his back. He has armor on one shoulder, the strap extending over his chestplate. Third Portrait: A girl with short bangs at profile. She has a headband like a crown, with gold spikes like the sun extending from it. She has a head covering not unlike that of a nun, black and white, but it only stretches just below her ears, below which more of her dark greenish hair splays out. She wears a white collared shirt under a black jacket whose collar sticks up. Behind her, a dark brown background with a bright circle like a sun just behind her face, which lights her in a rich yellow. Fourth Portrait. A man with sunglasses who looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator. One of the lenses has a bright red light shining from behind it. He wears a black tactical vest and has one metal arm. His brown hair is cropped short, and he is muscular. He wears a stern expression, the front of his face starkly lit while the rest of him is cast in dark shadow. His lenses flare. Behind him, a black background with read laser lines extending outward. Fifth Portrait: A boxy robot on a red and yellow background patterned like panels of metal and screws. It is made of dark cobalt metal, with a square body and a head that extends on one pole. Its head is bean-shaped, with one scope and another small glowing green eye. It looks a bit like wall-e. On its body, glowing green and red lights, as well as one pincher-like arm extending from a static turning joint. Red and green wires connect from its head, neck, and body.
