MY PALMS AND FINGERS STILL REEK WITH GASOLINE FROM THROWING FUEL TO THE FIRE OF THAT GRECO-ROMAN DREAM PURIFY THE HOLY ROCK TO MELT THE GILDED SEAMS IT DONT BRING ME RELIEF NO IT DON’T BRING ME NOTHINGGG
This has always been one of my favorite fics of all time, and it only felt right that I had a copy of my own to put on my shelf. I did this one during late June of 2022.
This was my first time attempting both a sewn endband and trimming of my textblock, but I’m still very proud of it.
Another thing I love about this is the typesetting! I spent so long trying to make it as elegant and fancy as the actual vibes of the fic itself, and I’m still so damn proud of how it came out. Especially with the little 3 line poems that were in the summaries of each chapter
Oooo you said fic recs? I haven’t read on ao3 since I finished a really good fic, and some sbi fic recommendations would be really awesome!
OF COURSE !!!!!!!!! i hope u r ready for a big ass rec list <3

her body, the sunrise by elkas - while more of a wilbur fic than a sbi fic its written so so well and is so so good. its a transfem c!wilbur fic and i just. ugh so so good
mortui vivos docent by ellis (ellabellachicketychella) - one of my absolute favorites !!! techno centric vampire au, wonderful concept & wonderful writing <33
Ocean's Son by Khoskek - pirate au! just very fun in general <3
The Blood of the Covenant by NobleDragon - quite possibly my favorite fic ever actually. its just. everything i could ever want. vampire sbi with dimension travel, c!will centric

Okay I'm ending it here because it'll keep going forever if I don't. Sorry for very few c!tommy centric fics (somehow i wasn't seeing those?????? somehow???????) Let me know if u want more / some of a specific type!!!!
This is going to sound like the world's most brain-rotted thought but passerine by the oh hellos is martlet coded and canary in a coal mine by the crane wives is clover coded
this incredible incredible commission by @your-fellow-passerine sends sparks right to my heart ❤️ thank you for making this commission so so sweet and lovey dovey 💕💕💕 denki is my absolute number one love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ being like more knowledgeable about Pokémon is something i picture me picking up from him (i like it well enough it’s so fun but am not super well versed in it — for eg, what’s a shiny ???) so i feel like he’d be eager to teach me and that’d bring up closer together !!
also i’m just a water sign (piscesssss) so u kno i gotta rep vaporeon and denks is ofc 100% pikachu so uwu thank you to @your-fellow-passerine for bringing this to life! ♥️
Passerine I don't like that fic and the prequel made me like it even less then again maybe I'm just salty because I read the run and go and was sad to see very little fanart of it
I think Passerine was fantastic - if you ignore that it is supposed to be an SBI/DSMP fic. the characterization was consistent and the story was well paced and there was so much payoff despite all of it being thoroughly sad or at best bittersweet, but none of the characters acted like their actual counterparts. it may have been because of the popular characterization of them within the fandom? (Dream definitely felt that way)
like I gotta respect it for becoming so big, it was a lightning in a bottle, but it is a little disappointing in retrospect. never ended up reading shrike and the more I hear about it the happier I am to have dodged that bullet
GUYS THE MELODY OF PASSERINE IS EVERYWHERE IN COLD!! IT’S LIKE THE NARRATOR IS STILL TRYING TO RECOVER FROM THE PAINFUL REALIZATION OF PASSERINE AND BEING ABRUPTLY CUT OFF FROM THEIR COMMUNITY!! AND THEN THE ROSE MELODY SLOWLY SNEAKS IN THERE!! AS THEY BEGIN SETTLING INTO THIS NEW LIFE AND PREPARING FOR WHAT’S TO COME!! AHHHHH
bruhh i dont even know how to begin to explain passerine, its ahsdhfdhgsshj have some spoiler filled animatics i play on the daily! <- literally not a joke

Yesterday there was heavy rain. And when I walked around the kitchen, and I came across a frog. Seeing the frog, I remembered one part of Passerine... When P! Techno’s little sister tells him about how she and her mother were walking around the village, but when the rain came, they had to hide under a tree. And there in the puddle she saw a lot of frogs. She was so happy.
I have just now today found out that Niki read passerine on stream. I am unwell.
Currently 49 minutes and 26 minutes into the vod while simoultanously listening to all too well 10 min version tv as background music and I am so so happy
