dark ocean duology | summary, schedule, and chapter titles

after a full summer of....sort of losing my mind over the ocean, we've reached the final week. I've read it three times in the last two days and excepting grammar and style edits that will happen weekly (and one section I'm still sort of not happy with) I think I'm pretty much done. going to hype myself up a little bit this week. I've settled on a series title of 'dark ocean duology' so if you'd prefer to not see any more about this series go ahead and block that tag, no hard feelings!

summary: A post-Fallen Order AU in two parts: After narrowly escaping the Inquisition’s clutches on Nur, Cere and Cal are not whisked from the water by Merrin’s intervention. Instead, they must embark on a winding, perilous journey that will take each of them through their pasts, and to the edge of death.

chapter titles + posting schedule

part 1: the deep sea is a haunted house

“The deep sea is a haunted house: a place in which things that ought not to exist move about in darkness.” - Julia Armfield, Our Wives Under the Sea

9.1 -- chapter 1: caverns, haunts, and dusky mazes “There, at a depth to which divers would find it difficult to descend, are caverns, haunts, and dusky mazes, where monstrous creatures multiply and destroy each other. Huge crabs devour fish and are devoured in their turn. Hideous shapes of living things, not created to be seen by human eyes wander in this twilight.” - Victor Hugo, The Toilers of the Sea (trans. W. Moy Thomas) 9.8 -- chapter 2: only awake and dreaming “When you’re underwater for months at a time, you lose all sense of day and night. And there’s only awake and dreaming. Not that those things are easy to tell apart.” - Underwater (2020)

part 2: to stand at the edge of the sea

“To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist, is to have knowledge of things that are nearly as eternal as any earthly life can be.” - Rachel Carson, Under the Sea-Wind

9.15 -- chapter 1: drowning in sight of land “Is there anything more heartbreaking than drowning in sight of land? Is there a single one of us who hasn’t at least once felt haunted by the fear of slipping away within sight of a safe haven?” - Carsten Jensen, We, the Drowned 9.22 -- chapter 2: under the great unfathomable deep, he sank “Then overwhelmed by the sense of that unknown infinity, like one bewildered by a strange persecution, confronting the shadows of night, in the presence of that i impenetrable darkness, in the midst of the murmur of the waves, the swell, the foam, the breeze, under the clouds, under that vast diffusion of force, under that mysterious firmament of wings, of stars, of gulfs, having around him and beneath him the ocean above him the constellations, under the great unfathomable deep, he sank, gave up the struggle, lay down upon the rock, his face towards the stars, humble, and uplifting his joined hands towards the terrible depths, he cried aloud, ‘Have mercy.’” - Victor Hugo, The Toilers of the Sea (trans. W. Moy Thomas) 9.29 -- chapter 3: and the great shroud of the sea rolled on “…then all collapsed, and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago.” - Herman Melville, Moby-Dick

Ok, I have to go get back to all the formatting work I maybe should have been working on before now 😵‍💫

#dark ocean duology #hyping myself up because I'm the only one who can!

November 21: Hauntings Series

Since I didn’t do my Halloween ficlets (yet again lol) and I don’t have any plans to do that particular series in that particular way, I thought I’d make a post explaining roughly what I would have done if I were a faster writer.

The theme was ‘Hauntings’ and I was going to write five ficlets, each about a different type of haunting or facet of haunting.

The first, a traditional ghost story, was the one I actually wrote and posted: a modern AU about Clarke meeting Dante’s ghost just hours after his death. This one was inspired by a real ghost story I heard from a co-worker, though only in a very indirect way. She used to work in a nursing home and described to me hearing the distinctive cough of a gentleman who had just passed away. That was hard to make into a narrative so I expanded on it and ended up with this fic, but I actually like it a lot, and I think it did what it was meant to do.

The second story was to be about a haunted house. I keep a Halloween document with a list of potential ficlet ideas and I had one written down that was literally just “Briller + things that go bump in the night,” so I thought I could do something with that. I was going to play off of the ‘live by a lake and raise chickens and grow old’ conversation from canon, take that ‘young couple with a new old house’ angle and just do something short and atmospheric with it. I brainstormed some for this but couldn’t get it to gel.

The plan for the third was ‘unusual haunted location’ and for that I was going to write the Linctavia + haunted pirate ship idea from my Halloween list. This was also on the agenda for Halloween 2022. I think the idea of ghosts on the ocean is very potent (think the Demeter section from Dracula, everything from Moby Dick) and I still really want to take the handful of imagery floating around my head around this idea and put it down into something coherent. Worries me a little that I still have not, because sometimes projects get stuck if you just let them sit for too long—like uh all my projects—but maybe it’s time will still come.

Ficlet four was “haunted objects” but honestly what I was going to use for this spot was really a stretch for that theme. But it was also the ficlet I was most excited about and planned the most for and one I still really want to write! The idea was a canon-verse Ark-era, Raven-centric, Grabinksi-inspired tale of engineering legends and the mystical imbued-spirit of the ship. And maybe it wouldn’t have worked but it feels like it has such potential in my head!

And finally, I wanted to round out the series with a ficlet that somehow captured the feeling of the word ‘haunted.’ This one was mostly just an aesthetic list, I won’t even lie: the vibes I wanted it to capture, the mood, rather than anything too concrete. I was sort of toying with a Bellamy + Wells centric canon-AU fic but it was super, super vague. Honestly, I think the mood I wanted to put here was probably captured well by the first ficlet. The other three I’d like to write eventually, though probably not as part of a ‘hauntings’ series, but this one I don’t think I’ll ever develop more.

12 days of fic in one afternoon

So apropos of this post, I am belatedly doing lila's 12 days of writers self love all in one whack. I turned in my Yuletide assignment on Sunday, I’ve finished work for the year, and I've got nothing else to do, so let's go.

1. Hug - If Ever I Should Meet You by Land or by Sea (The Terror, gen, 60,518 words). I can certainly say the hug is central to it, in that you could roughly divide the fic in half with the hug forming the end of act one (and beautifully illustrated by @vandrawsing!).

2. Crown - Worlds to Act Upon (Dragon Age: Inquisition, gen, 2,337 words). Basically it's the events of Trespasser from Pope Leliana's POV.

3. Repulsed - Lair Actions (The Murderbot Diaries, gen, 7,490 words). Fantasy AU Murderbot gets repulsed right out of a tree, so I think it counts.

4. Blood - Theatre of Cruelty (The Magnus Archives, gen, 3,144 words). A relatively gory one, inspired by a Paul Jennings short story.

5. Flower - Safe and Sound at Home Again (The Terror, Peglar/Bridgens, 23,604 words). Hey, did you know the black-banded polymixis xanthomista moth inhabits the stony shores of Cornwall and feeds on thrift? That's a very salt-tolerant flower, by the way. It also represents sympathy in Victorian flower language, so it seemed an appropriate as a bit of set-dressing for a story about grief and haunting.

6. Clothing - Four Women of Fortune (La Fiancée Hésitant, bride/dressmaker, 2,056 words). Had a lot of fun leaning hard on pastiche for this one, but in particular it centers on a dress fitting.

7. God - Travellers by Night (The Mummy, gen, 13,102 words). Jonathan Carnahan steps in to go adventuring on Evie's behalf. Khonshu the moon god comes up quite a bit.

8. Music - You’re a Good Man, Cosmo Brown (Singin’ in the Rain, Kathy/Don/Cosmo, 4,776 words). The musical numbers are only implied, but c’mon!

9. Dance - Smooth Water All Our Days (Temeraire, Laurence/Tharkay, 37,632 words). This is set post-canon, rather fluffy until it grows a plot, and one of the things I wanted to do was let Laurence enjoy himself in a new, more dragon-integrated society, so obviously there had to be an Aviator’s ball where he got to go dancing.

10. Magic - A Pool Amongst the Rock (Rogue One, Baze/Chirrut, 11,029 words). Medieval fantasy AU Baze/Chirrut, where the Force is a more literal sort of magic and kyber is dragons and Chirrut is a sort of hedge-witch, and also, Baze doesn’t believe in magic.

11. Kiss - Promethea (Altered Carbon, Quellcrist/Takeshi (nominally, but it’s mostly gen), 9,259 words). This is probably the loosest word association - I don’t write kisses all that often. However. This fic was an excuse to explore the absolutely GOBSMACKING information that Quellcrist Falconer was the one who invented stack technology, so think of this fic as one long smooch in the direction of a character that I wish we could have gotten to know more.

12. Ending - Full Fathom 5000 (Moby Dick, gen, 2028 words). Another bit of pastiche that I’m quite pleased with, because it was really fun to write Captain Ahab in full flow. More to the point, it’s Ahab rotting on the seafloor with the whale, which is as definite an ending as anything I can think of.

Thank you!

Song: Mody Dick - Led Zeppelin

Two AUs for you! 1. An Obikin AU, half actual Moby Dick AU half Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas AU, basically Anakin enrolls on a trip on the seas under the command of Captain Kenobi. Chasing an elusive creature that haunts Captain Kenobi’s past, Anakin will discover the wonders of the sea while trying not to fall too hard for his captain

2. Modern AU, Obi-Wan needs a new drummer for his band before a very important audition after his last one eloped with his partner and ditched him. He’s running out of time and then one night happens to walk across the music room at his work place, catching one of the best solos he has ever heard. He enters determined to get whoever is playing like that in his band and finds himself face to face with his boss’s cute secretary, who he has been secretely crushing on, Anakin Skywalker

This was fun!

Hi, how are you? I know I already asked a fic and all but I wanted to ask you another one. A soulmate AU where the name of your soulmate is written down on your wrist, and a female reader passed through hell on her village because her soulmate is the infamous Fire Fist Ace and her village hated pirates. So she is so insecure when they met and he gets so angry when she tells him how people treated her.

I got too excited over the soulmate thing. I still owe you another request, I don’t write the requests in the order I get them, I go through them and write whatever I’m feeling the most to write at that moment XD I am writing your other request, I loved the idea and have a pretty good thing in mind I want to write.

Wordcount: 2.8 K

Warnings: cursing cursing has now become a perpetual thing in all of my fics, I’m gonna stop writing this in warnings and instead write in in the blog’s description XD

Your Name on My Wrist — Portgas D Ace x Reader

If life wasn’t already hard enough for you, it all got worse when you saw a pirate ship approaching the shore. Recognising the ship was only the cherry on top of the fantastic cake. It wasn’t just any ship, but Whitebeard’s iconic ship, The Moby Dick.

“Fuck” You hissed upon your realization.

You pulled the sleeves of your shirt down, covering your wrist as your heart started beating heart against your ears. Light headed, you wondered whether if you should hide. The name written on your wrist began burning, something it usually did whenever you noticed the stares of the people around you, like ghosts, haunting you and whispering things under their breaths.

Despite the bright warm sun on top of the sky, you ignored the increasing heat. Long sleeves no longer had an effect on you. Ever since his face started showing up on wanted posters, three years ago approximately, your life became a living hell. With his name on your wrist, the town’s people noticed how Fire Fist’s name was inked on your skin.

Something different was happening. The itch on your wrist felt different. Normally, it’d bother you, having the name of a pirate brought a psychological burn of awareness. This time, it actually itched, like if you’d been stung by a bug. It tickled, and it made you gut feel anxious. You looked back at the horizon, looking into the wooden whale’s eyes. Could Portgas D Ace be on board that ship?

Meanwhile, Portgas D Ace himself was still going through his slumbery state after waking up from an uncalled nap. And he woke up because he felt the itch in his forearm. He sat on the deck, still oblivious to the fact that they were making port soon, simply scratching his arm absentmindedly.

“Is it bothering yoi?” Marco asked reaching his friend.

“What?” Ace yawed.

“Your birthmark. The name yoi”

It wasn’t until then that Ace realized he was indeed scratching your name written on his forearm.

“A bug must have bit me..” He purred sleepy “Maybe a rat. Hopefully I won’t get rabies”

“She must be on this island” Marco added, not really paying attention to Ace. “They say it starts itching when you’re close. And that you’ll hear a sleigh bell when you cross paths…”

“You actually believe that bullshit?” Ace scoffed looking at his friend from the corner of his eye before looking straight ahead towards the approaching island.

“What? Soulmates?” Marco asked.

“It’s hard for me to believe I'll fall head over heels instantly for a total stranger…” Ace sighed. He’d never even fallen in love with anyone in the first place. And he normally wouldn’t approach strangers. Only if they were in need.

“I don’t think I;ve met mine yet” Marco said looking to his wrist. “Although they say, both souls connect instantly when they first touch yoi, so I guess it’s involuntary” Ace looked at Marco who simply shrugged and looked back at Ace.

“My one and true love is the sea, Marco. End of discussion” Ace said in a serious tone, not able to contain his trademark cheeky smile.

“Guararara!” Whitebeard laughed walking towards them “You won’t be thinking that once you meet her, son!” Whitebard said cheerfully, overhearing their conversation.

Walking through the town, hoping to finish your shopping list, you couldn't help but feel the anxiety chewing on your nape. You hoped and hoped to not come across the pirates while you were out of your house. However, that was not the case.

You recognized the orange hat from the wanted posters and immediately lowered your face, and breathed in deeply. It wa dumb, you thought, there was no way in hell how he could know how you looked like. The name on your wrist burned more and more as the two of you walked towards each other. Your nails clawing your sleeve to your hand, as you carried your bags on your free hand.

Soon, you found yourselves walking across each other. His shoulder was next to yours, as he headed the opposite direction when it happened. A single sleigh bell echoed in your head and at the same time your heart skipped a beat and your gut twisted.

Convincing yourself it was all in your head, you kept walking, faster this time. Ace on the other hand, remembered what his friend had told him. He stopped, turned around, and look at you quickly making your way through. He suddenly felt intrigued. As to why or how, he could not tell.

“Excuse me!” He said changing directions and walking towards you, however, he noticed how you only started walking even faster. “Wait! Excuse me!” An impulse he did not know where it come from made him start jogging towards you.

“Wait, excuse me! Are you [Name]?” He asked as you quickly stopped, spun on your toes and without looking at him you yelled.

“Leave me alone” You growled and turned around once more heading back to your place.

“Look, I-I’m sorry to bother you, but I have to know” Ace said holding your arm gently, stopping you.

However, he did not expect the series of reactions his body would have when he touched you. He heard the bell once more, his heart skipped a beat, but at the same time, he could feel your pulse as well, skipping a beat of your own, just like him. His body tingled in such a weird way, he’d never felt it before. The world around him muted down, as suddenly a set of synchronized heartbeats were everything he could hear.

“[Name]?” He whispered.

You looked at him, as weirded out, meeting his stare. His black eyes swallowed yours in a gentle curious stare. And to his surprise, your eyes were teary. He suddenly felt a pressure on his chest, not realising that crushing anxiety came from you. He suddenly was feeling every fragment of worry that was building up in your throat without realizing you were now sharing feelings.

“Please, leave me alone” Your voice broke, as he felt a lump on his throat.

You pulled your arm away from his grip, as he stood there, paralyzed. Why he suddenly felt anxious? His chest, his throat, his head, it ached briefly, for as long as you were touching. And the moment you released yourself from him, it all faded away. A single tear escaped his eye as he stopped it with his finger thinking where did that tear had come from.

Could it be yours? Ace asked himself

“What?” He said confused, when did his eye get teary? Nothing made sense to him. Not until he remembered what Marco told him earlier. “they say, both souls connect instantly when they first touch” Marco had told him.

“Wait, [Name]” He chased after you, realising what he had just felt was how you were feeling.

And if he felt awful for those brief seconds you touched, he didn’t want to think about how long you’d been feeling that way. His empathetic nature soon took over his reasoning mind, as he suddenly felt this urge to help you.

“I said leave me alone” You snapped, this time not looking behind.

“Please, let me help you” Ace said jogging to your side and stopping in front of you.

“Oh, so you want to help me?!” You shouted “Why don’t you help me by leaving?!”

“What?” Ace felt awkward by how defensive you were, even when he was just trying to help.

“It’s because of you I’ve been having the worst years of my life! Now please, get lost” You said in a low voice, still not looking at him as you tried past him. He raised his arm, ready to hold yours again when you jerked your shoulder, almost like saying don’t touch me.

“Wait, is this because my name is on your…” he said.

“Shut up already, would you?” Desperately, you cried, and Ace could see silent tears falling down your cheek “I don’t want anything to do with a pirate like you”

The way you’d said pirate in such a derogatory way hurt him. The sudden sting making him react in a sarcastic way towards your aggression.

“For fucks sake, is it necessary for you to be such a bitch?” He spatted out and immediately regretted it.

“Actually yes, that’s the point you dumbass” You barked back “Leave! Having your name on my skin has already brought me enough trouble”

Hearing you this time made him realize what was going on and why you were acting the way you did. So he had caused you trouble. Without him realizing, he had been hurting someone. He guessed, from the moment he got his first bounty and his face became infamous. Flashbacks of his childhood resurfaced, reminding him how unwanted he was by most people, and it ached his heart.

“You’re saying you’re an outcast?” You’d be lying if you said how his voice suddenly was low didn’t catch your attention.

“Why do you care?” You said bitterly.

“I know what that feels like” He purred.

“Of course you do, you’re a pirate” Hissing, you looked at him for the second time.

“Not because of that you dumbass” He snapped and immediately regretted it “I-I’m sorry...I didn’t mean to call you a dumbass…” He whispered “Listen, when I was a kid I felt like I didn’t belong anywhere. Everyone thought I should not have been born. Even I did”

“Oh, what a coincidence, we do share something in common” You answered sarcastically as Ace felt his heart sting once more. He tried to open himself to you, however, you didn’t react ike he hoped you would.

“Goddammit woman. I’m actually trying to help you feel better” He raised his voice a little bit “Look, when I touched you, it felt awful. I felt the burden you are feeling right now. And I hated it. And I only felt it for a couple of seconds. I can tell you’d been feeling like this for a longer time, and if you continue to carry that weight on your shoulders, it will kill you”

His dark stare met yours. However, you couldn’t hold it. You looked away, sighing deeply.

“Why do you care what happens with me?” You asked.

“Because even when I think this whole soulmate thing is bullshit, your name is still in my skin. And mine is on yours. Whether we like it or not, we were ‘matched’ by fate. And now that we have met and touched, this bond we share, somehow sentenced us to carry each other’s burdens” He said and waited a few seconds for you to answer. “Please, let me help you”

You listened and as much as you wanted to say something back, you couldn't. Your brain was still processing what Ace was saying. He rested one of his big hands on your shoulders as you suddenly felt your heart synch with his once more, followed by a strong feeling of calmness. You looked up, somehow knowing it was coming from him. His stare only confirmed it.

“So, what is it going to be? Will you still be a bitch to me or what?” He tried to release the tension by smiling. A very bright smile, you thought.

“I-I don’t know what to do…” You whispered. “I’m sorry…” Your voice faded out.

“It’s alright. I’m sorry I caused you so much trouble. Here, let me make it up to you” He said taking the grocery bag you were holding. “C’mon, follow me” He said kindly.

“Where are we going?” You asked not sure if you wanted to follow him, even if you wanted to trust him. After all, he was a pirate.

“To the ship. Believe it or not, everyone had been nagging me about presenting the mystery girl in my wrist when I met her”

“Why would your crew want to meet me?” You answered dryly and not fully trusting him.

“We’re not as bad as you think we are. We’re all one big family. We got each other’s backs and we’re always helping each other out. They want to meet you because I am a part of them, and they are a part of me...It’s only natural that they want to meet you”

The afternoon went by better than expected. Just like Ace had said, the crew was excited, happy to meet you. They gave you, probably, the warmest welcome you’d even lived. They were loud. They were chaotic. And most importantly, they were kind. Maybe not the most polite people, but they were kind to you. You met their father, the fearful Edward Newgate, who was as glad as everyone else for meeting you.

That afternoon, the entire crew drank together and celebrated. Arriving to a new island, meeting someone, and having Ace find his soulmate. It was impossible for you not to have a good time. Their laughs were contagious and their never ending stories both fascinating and funny. Perhaps you drank a little too much and ended up drunk.

However, Ace kept an eye on you for the entire night. Taking care of you and making sure you didn’t end up terribly drunk. Just enough to keep you relaxed. Later that night, he took you to the head of the Moby Dick, where the both of you talked and watched the stars. He apologized for all the trouble he brought to you, and promised he wouldn’t let you get hurt again. However, by the time he made his promise, you’d fallen asleep, your head resting on his shoulder.

Your eyes flickered open the next da, the sunrise peeking from the ocean at the distance. You looked up and found Ace, lying on his back, asleep. You realized you’d fallen asleep next to him, and felt embarrassed for a few seconds.

Looking at Ace, for the first time you noticed the freckles. All sizes, splattered across his face like stars in the night sky. His black hair framing his relaxed face, as his eyes were gently closed. His nose was straight and pointy at the end. For the first time you noticed how attractive Portgas D Ace actually was.

“See something you like, weirdo?” Ace joked making you flinch. You sat up straight and slapped his shoulder. “Oi, I’m kidding” He giggled sitting up “How did you sleep?”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to look like a freak, staring at you in your sleep” You apologized.

“It’s okay, I actually was a freak too last night. You look cute when you sleep” Ace giggled shamelessly “[Name], can I be honest with you real quick?”

“You’re saying after this you’ll turn into a compulsive liar?” You answered sarcastically as you smirked at him.

“Oh look, she’s a smartass both while drunk and sober. No, actually, I wanted to say that…” He stopped briefly, trying to think of the correct words. “I’m starting to think that maybe all this soulmate bullshit isn’t bullshit after all…”

“What do you mean?” You blinked clueless at him.

“I mean, in less than 24 hours, you’ve caught my attention, and the more time we spend together, the more I’d like to get to know you better…” He said looking into your eyes.

“Oh…”

“Probably is just me, I don’t know. Maybe I’m overthinking this too much, to the point in which I’m slowly making myself fall for you…I wouldn't blame you if you don’t feel that way, it’d be nice thou…” You stopped Ace, placing your hand on his mouth.

His eyes stared wide and curious at you as you blinked, your face blank as your brain processed his words. You continued to look at his face, unable to stop telling yourself how much of a pretty boy he was. Your heart raced, and so did his. Your breath deepened as the most impulsive thought came to your mind.

Can I kiss you? You thought as Ace grabbed your wrist and pulled down the hand you had over his mouth.

“Yes, please” He answered and leaning closer towards. Shyly, the both of you bumped your foreheads together, the both of you confused at what had just happened. Your mind loud as an alarm tried to find some sense into this entire situation, as another though, in a voice that wasn’t your own, echoed in your head.

Kiss me, Ace thought.

You closed the space between the two of you, sealing your lips into a delicate peck. Gently pressing your lips against his before he kissed you back, locking you in a tender kiss. The world silence around you, and only the beating of your hearts was heard. Time and the world stopped spinning briefly, as you felt that same tingle you felt when you first touched, this time, it felt so much better, leaving a sweet taste in our soul. A taste you could easily get addicted to. And that taste had a name. One that was written in your skin.

Ghosts and witches and zombies and vampires, oh my!

We’ve pulled together a list of Halloween themed fics for you today. This list contains stories specifically about Halloween, but also includes fics with a supernatural twist; this means that ghosts, vampires, hauntings, zombies, witches, etc will be making their own spooky appearances.

The Lallybroch Library wishes you all a safe and very happy Halloween!

Across the Hall by @thetranquilteal

Growing up in Scotland, one of Jamie Fraser’s all time favourite things to do was carve turnips on All Hallows Eve. Having recently relocated to the United States of America, Jamie assumes carving pumpkins on Halloween is no different and finds himself in a situation that he never expected.

An Leabhar Dilseachd by @thetranquilteal

Claire Fraser had always known she was a witch. Her affinity for healing hinted at it and her ability to time travel confirmed it. What she didn’t know was that she would come into her full power the day she became a mother. Concerned with how her pregnancy is progressing, she's seeks the help of apothecary Master Raymond in the hope that he will be able to teach her how to utilise her newfound power and protect her family from disaster. A canon-divergent AU told through the pages of the Fraser Grimoire ‘The Book of Faith’.

Back to You - Halloween Ficlet by @balfeheughlywed

Set in the Back To You world, Jamie and Claire spend their first Halloween together at a costume party

Clair(e)voyance by @notevenjokingfic

Detective Sergeant James Fraser and Chief Medical Examiner Claire Randall. Both are perhaps a little jaded, and shut off from the world, until the other steps into theirs. It’s supernatural. Intrigue. Romance. Murders. Mystery. All of that and so, so much heart. It’s the telling of several different cases that span over their partnership – which is a word that comes to take on several different meanings as the story goes on. And each case is more interesting than the next.

Dark Shines by @kalendraashtar

Haunted by a difficult past, James Fraser fully dedicates himself to his job as a criminal profiler for the New Scotland Yard. As a series of ritualistic and gruesome murders shakes Edinburgh to its core, he is forced to dive deep into the underworld and seek help from a modern day witch, the mysterious Claire Beauchamp.

The Doctor’s Companion by @theministerskat

After coming back through the stones, Roger and Bree get ready for a Halloween party. Written for the prompt: “Would your OTP wear a couple’s costume for Halloween? If so, who would be most likely to choose the costume and what would it be?”

Exsanguinate by @owlish-peacock36

Exsanguinate: to drain of blood No one ever asked for his name anymore. They gave him a wide berth, avoiding him at all costs. Whispers of rumors filled his ears, closer to the truth than they realized. Monster. Incubus. Strigoi. Upyr. No. His name was Jamie.

Ghosts in the Daylight by @owlish-peacock36

"It's easier to dismiss ghosts in the daylight..." All Jamie wanted was quiet loneliness to work on his novel. But, are we ever truly alone?

Halloween, 1955 by spinsterclaire

Prompt: After [episode 305] with the making the 'batsuit' scene you should totally do a story about the first time Claire made some sort of costume for Bree.

In which I assert my Claire/Lamb agenda onto a Claire/Bree prompt. *shrugs*

Halloween at The Ridge by @abbydebeaupreposts

Four Part Halloween Fluff set after MOBY imagining what traditions Jem and Mandy bring with them to Fraser’s Ridge.

The Haunting at Mrs. Bairds by @frasersridgeforever

The kindly hostess of a bed and breakfast notices some ghostly activity in her establishment, as the culprit sees his wife for the first and last time. A Halloween tale of Mrs. Baird and Jamie’s ghost as the Randalls arrive in Inverness for their second honeymoon.

Like Thunder, a Storm, a Helpless Rage by @fallofrainblog

Claire and Jamie are caught in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and must rely on each other in their search for a safe place.

Oggy and Rollo by @ianmuyrray

Oggy, out playing in the rain, meets a dog. Written for the prompt: “Someone write a quick little drabble of Oggy out laughing and playing in the rain by himself but when asked he’s playing with his imaginary dog friend named Rollo.”

Red Jamie and the White Lady by @diversemediums and @takemeawaytocamelot

Claire Beauchamp is dragged by her best friend and flatmate, Geillis Duncan, to go visit a powerful psychic to prove once and for all that true love exists. Claire is a practical woman and finds the idea of true love pointless. Jamie Fraser is a powerful psychic who can glimpse the future. When he meets Claire, something changes. Like they were destined to find each other.

Step Into the Night by LadyRevolution

An Outlander AU where Claire didn't fall through the stones, she was on the run from the vampire coven that has been trying to enlist her for centuries. In her reprieve at Castle Leoch, it has been a challenge to both hide her vampirism and stay away from Jamie. He smells good, too good, and for a thousand year old vampire with steel control, that's worrying.

Three Witches by spinsterclaire

An AU where Claire, Jenny, and Geillis are three modern-day witches. A big ole house, a "No Men Allowed Policy", rituals in the woods - the usual witchy norm. When Jamie shows up, things go to hell in a hand basket.

The White Witch by BlackStarNYC

The Scottish matriarchal family—known as the "Thomson Witches"—have a long & forlorn history. Claire Thomson Beauchamp’s life turns to chaos as a teen when her Uncle gives her a family heirloom, and she becomes tormented by an evil spirit. A curse puts her 200 years back in time into the 18th century, where she meets Jamie Fraser and falls in love. Claire and Jamie’s happiness becomes threatened by castle intrigue, a 200 year old clan feud, a Jacobite uprising, and that evil spirit that has haunted Claire’s family for centuries.

The Witch’s Cat by @listentothewordsyousay

How a witch's cat with grey fur and green eyes came to be a Kitchen Cat on Fraser's Ridge.

Witches by @whiskynottea for @otheroutlandertales

1739: Fort William has a new garrison commander - one who is decided to break the Scots' spirit. Will Jenny and Claire be able to save the tenants of Lallybroch with their magical powers, while staying safe?

A fun not serious ASL au i thought,

So first thing to note, Ace, Luffy, and Sabo are dead in this au lol

they died by various accident from canon, and so they’re just ghosts now. For some reason they can’t pass on, so they try to make the best of everything they got right now and just be ghosts on Dawn island together (they like to scare people like typical ghosts)

The Whitebeard pirates dock on Dawn Island because they heard animals here were exceptionally larger than other East Blue islands so they decided to check it out.

At some point Thatch and Haruta explore together and they see the ASL trio’s abandoned Tree house, they check it out and accidentally steal Luffy’s straw hat because it looked familiar.

So as a result, the boys try and get it back but while they’re trying to find it, the Moby sets sail and the trio just get stranded on the Moby.

With no other choice they start to haunt the Moby just for the fun of it now

(Thatch starts to regret taking the straw hat because the food keeps mysteriously disappearing for some reason)

#portgas d. ace #sabo #monkey d luffy #asl one piece #asl brothers #op au #Haruta on the Oujia: ‘Are there ghosts on this boat?’#Luffy (who’s terrible at spelling on the Ouija): ouhjaodjbwdf

Hey, do you by any chance know some good paranormal aus? Also happy birthday to admin Bri!

heyo!! there werent much paranormal aus i could find which made me hella sad but still. Here are some for you!

dizzy on the comedown by CaptainButts

“Are you pitying me?” Hoseok sputters out, his face heating up with annoyance. “You don’t even know me!”

“I think I know people enough to know a lonely face when I see one.” Hook, line, and sinker. He watches a myriad of emotions flicker across Hoseok’s face as he scoffs. Yoongi moves closer to him. “I’m not pitying you, I promise. I’m just saying that maybe I’m a little lonely too.”

(or: yoongi moves into his uncle’s home and meets an awfully cute witch in the woods.)

up all night by jonghyunslisterine

In which Jung Hoseok and Min Yoongi become accidental next-door neighbors at a very haunted bed and breakfast. Cue blow-dryer weaponry, some rather unhelpful supernatural investigators, and misquoted Moby Dick.

- (this work doesnt have a title) by httparkjimin

min yoongi doesn’t believe in a lot of things these days

but he especially doesn’t believe in ghosts

(or this prompt sent to me: yoonseok where yoongi is a college student with depression and ghost!hoseok follows him around leaving him cute sticky notes to comfort him, yoongi doesn’t understand it and tries to brush it off skeptically as his flatmate playing with him)

this doesn’t have a title because i can’t think of one but anyway.

fics i want to reread but im not ready

you ever read a fic and youre like... i love this. i love this a LOT. but if i read it again i will literally die.

yeah.

this probably counts as a rec list so. i linked things. its all klance or sheith except for one gen thing lmao. also kinda spoils a lot of the fics but like not badly. like probably nothing you couldnt glean from the tags anyway...

Ignorance is Bliss by YouAreInAComaWakeUp (Nikanaiko)

ship: klance summary: As it turns out, learning that your house is haunted makes the ghosts a lot more aggressive. Who knew? Ah, well. At least one of them is hot. And he's the less-evil one, too, so that's always a plus. why im scared to reread it: listen. i realize this is a ghost au. but keith almost fucking died. im not ready. (A+ worldbuilding tho)

Alabanza by vanitashaze

ship: klance summary: A lot changes in Lance's life over ten months. Or, Keith and Lance make a baby and learn how to talk to each other, in that order. why im scared to reread it: where do i even BEGIN. the first fic is full of FEELINGS and then it gets WORSE and then KEITH ALMOST DIES (and then they fuck) and then there are MORE FEELINGS. i havent finished how the dead live. im not strong enough.

Routine Maintenance by VelkynKarma

ship: none summary: Being an amputee with a prosthetic limb is difficult enough. Having a solid metal alien prosthetic forced on you by another species entirely is even worse. OR: Five times Shiro’s Galra arm caused him trouble in some way and another member of the team helped him out with it, and the one time the same arm is the only reason any of them survive. why im scared to reread it: yknow, most of this fic was fine. lances chapter fucked me up a lil but like otherwise? fine. and then the last chapter happened and my brain was replaying the part with keith over and over for like weeks and. it was good. but i will probably never be ready to reread this fic, or at least, the part where everyone (but especially keith) almost dies. aw fuck i thought about it too hard writing this fuck lets move on

The Watcher by stickylips14

ship: sheith summary: My name is Keith Kogane, and I am the person who takes down the things that go bump in the night. It's a hard and unrewarding job, but when you're living on top of an active hell-rift, it's a necessity. On the plus side, sometimes I meet cute guys in bad situations, and sometimes I manage to not make a bad situation worse. Sometimes. why im scared to reread it: i love this fic more than life itself but hey guess who ACTUALLY dies? keith and shiro too and hey have you noticed a pattern yet

time out of mind by aknightley

ship: klance summary: Keith and Lance wake up married. In the future. why im scared to reread it: ok so iirc no one dies in this one except me, of secondhand embarrassment. i remember the ending just absolutely making it but for full impact id have to read all the stuff before it too so uh. its shelved for now.

Hearts Don't Break Around Here by klancekorner

ship: klance summary: Lance and Keith have been best friends since first grade. Lance’s brain is always on overdrive and Keith’s blunt, realistic ass can never keep up. They both come to realize that sometimes you can learn a lot about loving yourself by loving someone else. why im scared to reread it: ill be honest. this is a long ass fic and yet i remember very little of what actually happens in it. but what i DO remember is downloading a .mobi of it onto my ipod and then furtively sneaking moments to read it while like, restocking k-cups at my workstudy job last year. like. i couldnt put it down. what important thing will i ignore in favor of rereading this? im scared to find out.

go alone, and never speak of this again by arahir

ship: sheith summary: The ghost of what Shiro's lost haunts him. Keith tries to find a way home. why im scared to reread it: take a wild fucking guess

and a special shoutout also to foreign scenes by bwyn and never saw you coming by dimpleforyourthoughts (both klance), both of which recently made over to the I Was Scared But I Reread It list. the latter i put off long enough to forget that keith and lance almost die. the former is just a Commitment lmao.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#hyehhhh #i guess i shouldve put punctuation in all the ship names or smth #oh well #voltron //#fic recs #do not look in my fic recs tag. i havent used it since homestuck #i dont know whats in there and i dont want to #klance /#sheith /#kind of a shocking percentage of klance on here considering how like every sheith fic ever is angsty #this was fun i love Sharing My Opinions #(also i incidentally heard hearts dont break around here for the first time on pandora the other day)#(and it was a Revelation and now i have it on repeat so that probably the next one im gonna end up rereading)#anyway bye #pointless post

Short Review about Iron Gold (Red Rising Saga, #4) by Pierce Brown Book :

They call him father, liberator, warlord, Reaper. But he feels a boy as he falls toward the pale blue planet, his armor red, his army vast, his heart heavy. It is the tenth year of war and the thirty-second of his life. A decade ago, Darrow was the hero of the revolution he believed would break the chains of the Society. But the Rising has shattered everything: Instead of peace and freedom, it has brought endless war. Now he must risk everything he has fought for on one last desperate mission. Darrow still believes he can save everyone, but can he save himself? And throughout the worlds, other destinies entwine with Darrow’s to change his fate forever: A young Red girl flees tragedy in her refugee camp and achieves for herself a new life she could never have imagined. An ex-soldier broken by grief is forced to steal the most valuable thing in the galaxy—or pay with his life. And Lysander au Lune, the heir in exile to the sovereign, wanders the stars with his mentor, Cassius, haunted by the loss of the world that Darrow transformed, and dreaming of what will rise from its ashes. Red Rising was the story of the end of one universe, and Iron Gold is the story of the creation of a new one. Witness the beginning of a stunning new saga of tragedy and triumph from masterly New York Times bestselling author Pierce Brown.
