Can I just say thank you from the bottom of my heart for continuing to hold the line and calling it H/D even in 2024 when it seems like the battle is long lost

hahahaha yes I can never bring myself to say or write the word "drarry" except when discussing the word "drarry" on a meta level.

I put in the tags recently that back in my day, we called in H/D, and someone was like wow, you must've been in fandom a long time, because they were calling it drarry in 2003! They may have been! But not in my neck of the woods. In my neck of the woods was all initials and slashes, with only the rare smush name, until tumblr. People explained at the time that for some reason tumblr tags didn't respond well to slashes? So they started using smush names way more.

I really dislike them, though I'll admit to being fine with wangxian because it's canon, and also the names are allowed to be broken up that way? Like dracoharry is fine to me. Drarry is not. It reminds me of dairy and sounds ugly. But I honestly also hate the ones that are some clever combination of monikers, like gentlebeard. Still not as bad as stucky, but then again, nothing is.

But the true crime of them all is K/S. Wasn't this pairing called KirkSpock or KS or even kiss for literally decades? From whence came spirk? Like why do times have to be a-changin'? Why can't we just exist in a perfect stasis? Seriously though if you were going to smush you could have had Kock or Spork but you elected not to and that really is a tragedy of the 21st century that the 20th century never had to contend with. back in my day we had to slash uphill both ways

Wave and pang are so gay just like. so gay

its not even the Point. its not even Important. except it kind of is.

like? its a thai drama so theoretically if they’d wanted a bl couple they Would have made one. 

but at the same time like. Pang/Wave are literally the parallel to Claire/Punn. Narratively their scenes parallel each other, their breakup is for the same reasons, the scenes the pairs are in mirror each other, the scenes both pairs are in are Because pangwave is paralleling clairepunn. 

like we definitely have duo and trio friendships in the plot paralleling each other which are all worth noting. for SURE, we have: Ohm, Pang, Namtaan and Grace, Third, Time and Supot, Yuth, Nate. We have some duo pairs paralleling each other through the generations - primarily Chanon/Pom and Pang/Wave, but also Yuth/Supot once Nate is sick. (and there’s a whole case on its own to be made about what the fuck Chanon and Pom are and their entire relationship with its complications and tragedies).

ClairePunn is used in the storyline to parallel PangWave though. That’s a big storytelling point in all of season 2 the Gifted Graduation. Pang ultimately leaves behind his ‘trio’ he started with in his generation of friends, and long term in the story becomes primarily associated with his partnering with Wave. 

Wave is THE line for Pang. The line at which point Pang would be willing to abandon his morals and beliefs, sacrifice the other things he cares about. We get hinting that Wave will be the LINE all the way back in season 1, when Pang purposely tries to form a partnership with Wave already knowing he and Wave do not 100% agree and cooperating is Still worth the benefits to Pang. This is notable because in prior relationships, Pang generally does not compromise on any of his morals/ways of doing things and instead tends to take the lead and try to convince others to support him. 

Many times in the show characters push Pang’s limits, trying to get him to break and give up, or things just falling apart around him. None of those times succeeds, until its Wave’s life on the line. That is the breaking point, the line, the limit at which Pang is pushed enough to give up on the other things he values (or at least prioritize Wave more). Its very much like Kirk in Search for Spock being willing to give up his career and the Enterprise itself (which he’d been established to refuse to ever give up prior) if it meant helping Spock’s soul. Pang’s partner Wave is his line. (Oh the KirkSpock parallels).

Why are they so gay? why am i not shutting up about it. oh because the biggest media parallel i’d jump to with mutant partners who rely on each other would be Professor X/Magneto. But Professor X’s line (generally - i haven’t read every comic) is not necessarily Magneto, or vice versa. Generally, while the homoerotic magnetism and initial shared goal for the future is there, the teamwork partnership is there, in the end both of their morals are not things they will ever compromise on (At least in the old and certainly in the new X-men movies). Unlike Professor X, well it looks like Pang does value his partner more than his morals. 

Pang loves Wave so much.

It would be interesting to explore if the vice versa is true, in a way. Because I think Wave would have been willing to die before surrender to Supot - its just Pang won’t ever let them choose a plan where Wave dies. But if Pang was the one dying, would Wave pick Pang over their goals? I think Wave would, considering the way he loves his friends, and how that love clearly started with getting close to Pang and them trusting each other. I think Wave values his loved ones surviving mattering more to him than his goals. Or at minimum, I think Wave’s determination to win long term would allow him to be willing to surrender in the short term to save lives he cared about, even if he didn’t give up his goals long term. This is all personal opinion, because we don’t know what Wave would choose. But he did willingly choose to take the virus and presumably he thought ‘if it kills me its worth it’ to help Pang and see Pang. Wave trusts Pang so much he thinks Pang would continue to pursue their goals even if he dies, he thinks dying for Pang is worth it because he cares about Pang himself so much just being safe. Its probably safe to say Wave loves Pang enough to die for him specifically, regardless of if their goals could be pursued or not.

So Wave sure does love Pang a lot too. 

I just. If you want homoerotic mutant partners in love going to the ultimate limit to save each other over even their ideals, Pangwave sure is it.

It's InuKag because the pairing name style at the time was initials Like KS for KirkSpock or SMc for SpockMcCoy. So since IK could be InuyashaKikiyo or InuyashaKagome fandom went with InuKik and InuKag so you could find the fics you were looking for utilizing searches easily. Ship names like Inugome would have been more likely if the series was about 15 or 20 years younger than it is

So I've been told. It's a shame, though. It's so much more aesthetically pleasing to mash their names up (at least for Inuyasha and Kagome or Miroku and Sango).

i hate the trend of calling the pairings of fully putting two names together. i cannot imagine a 70s housewife go Hello this is my kirkspock zine. atrocious

you’ve probably gotten this, but kirk for the ship meme! or a character you want to talk abt that no one asked abt

KIRK MY BELOVED. thank u for this im sorry its taken me a millenium to reply

My NOTP for them: hmmm. HMMMM. you know what i dont even know if this is a thing but im taking a wild shot in the dark here and saying there must be people out there who ship kirk/khan and im just. im just gonna put it out there that i disagree with this.

My BROTP for them: kirk n booooones. could not ship them romantically i respect those who do but it simply could not be me. i do love them as best buds though and every time bones yells at kirk and kirk goes :3c i go 🥰 🥰 🥰

My OTP for them: now. this may surprise you. but there’s this guy named spock? and idk if anyones ever said this before but i think... he and kirk had something going on... idk! just how i see it! but i think maybe they were ummmmmmmmmm. in love? and invented love actually and nobody has ever or will ever do it like them again and they are THEE blueprint and *grasps their hands* This Simple Feeling....................................................... im emotional about it

My second choice pairing for them: there is no second choice what the fuck does this mean. kirk and spock are IT. uh. if i had to choose idk. i DONT KNOW. edith keeler is sweet but im like, obviously that couldnt fucking work bro, so idk. it’s one of those things where im like if kirkspock arent together then whats the fucking point. is it even a universe i want to live in.

My fluffy pairing for them: kirkspock between tmp and wrath of khan.

My angsty pairing for them: kirkspock between wrath of khan and the voyage home.

My favorite poly ship for them: i am... not a poly person but i generally think any spock/kirk/love interest of the week dynamic is very funny. absolutely unsustainable but very funny nonetheless

My weirdest pairing for them: kirk/the gorn from arena. i think they could have had something special, actually,

Berlynn Wohl's Massive Master Hannigram Recs List

EDIT: For some reason, I cannot get Tumblr to actually show the links to the fics in this post (today’s other rec posts work fine, so I have no idea what the problem is). But you can go to pillowfort.io/posts/293462 (even if you don’t have a PF account) to see a post with working links. Or check out my “recs” tag for past Hannigram recs posts. Sorry everyone!

Beneath the cut you will find about 300 fic recs for Hannigram and the Hannibal Extended Universe (i.e. actor AUs). These recs span five years, from the show's premiere in 2013 to today.

I have tried to divide these fics up into categories based mostly on kinks, but with this many fics, mistakes and oversights happen, so some things may be misplaced on the list. Feel free to send me a reply or message to let me know if edits need to be made.

I also didn't bother categorizing based on certain tropes which are just so embedded in Hannigram in a way that they are not with other pairings/fandoms (tropes such as dubcon, mind control, darkfic, etc.)

So check the tags before reading, and remember – just because something’s in the “Miscellaneous” category does not mean it’s vanilla! This is Hannibal, after all.

ao3 tag game

tagged by @belovedsheith​ thank you!!

what is your total word count on ao3? 206,179, but about half of that is on anon lmao

how often do you write? i generally write 1000 words a day, but i’ve been slacking lately since i went on summer break from school....

do you have a routine for writing?

nothing really particular, i tend to just flop down wherever i last left my laptop and sit there until it’s done. usually my cat chills with me and i drink water or tea or something--coffee doesn’t much help me write

what are your favorite kinks/tropes/pairings?

favorite ships: right now i am definitely on the sheith train where i plan to remain for a very long time....but i still get on my kirkspock regularly, and when we get new yoi content i’m gonna be all over that

favorite tropes: mutual pining, fake dating, college or hs au

favorite kinks: uhh probs dirty talk, biting (please no broken skin tho), that thing shiro does where he is very large, couples who are very in love and VERY kinky

do you have a favorite fic of yours? yeah it’s definitely i told the moon it’s my babey.....BUT its sequel is really gonna be a strong contender

your fic with the most kudos? also i told the moon! coming up on 700 kudos and ive literally never been more excited

anything you don’t like about your writing? i veer too wildly btwn super colloquial and overly formal in terms of my language. also i dont like writing orgasms it’s very particular but i really struggle with it and i never like how it comes out and i usually just kind of downplay that moment lmao

now something you do like (about your writing)? i like my dialogue a lot, i’m always careful to figure out how to match the character to the situation to make sure what they’re saying is both, like, actual words a human would say (especially that particular person) as well as something that fits the context

i’m tagging @phaltu @vers-shiro @shiropropaganda @tootsonnewts @gayhura!

Take Refuge in What You Know (Kirk/Spock, NC-17)

Take Refuge in What You Know by CorpusInvictus  

Written for the Star Trek XI Kink Meme prompt: "AU - Kirk has moved into a apartment/house and wants to get to know his neighbors. He meets his neighbor Spock, a loner who suffers from extreme agoraphobia. Kirk thinks he's beautiful enigma."

I didn't realize it before, but 90% of my dash is your posts and reblogs. That's just...a lot. So, like, you can't delete your blog or my dash is going to be shit.

I'm not gunna delete.

Indistinguishable from Magic by barrowjane

Title: Indistinguishable from Magic Author: barrowjane Fandom: Star Trek XI Pairing: Kirk/Spock Genre: Romance, action/adventure, angst, first time Rating: R Word Count: ~40,000

Summary: After an incident investigating a research vessel, the crew of the Enterprise find themselves in a different place and Kirk realizes he may have to follow the rules of this odd, almost fairy-tale world to get them home.

Why You Should Read This: Brilliant written and characterized, and so emotional. The fairy-tale world is fascinating, just like the entire plot to this fic. The author did a great job of making you feel throughout the fic, which is – in my opinion – the hallmark of a good fic.

Entering Orbit (Kirk/Spock, R)

Entering Orbit by museattack

Jim escapes to Iowa to avoid the media frenzy following the Narada incident, but a late-night miscommunication results in Spock turning up on his front porch.

Not In Love Song (Kirk/Spock, NC-17)

Not In Love Song by waldorph  

The five times Spock wasn't in love, and the one time he couldn't deny it anymore.

Observations by anon-j-anon

Title: Observations Author: anon-j-anon Fandom: Star Trek Reboot Pairing: Kirk/Spock Word Count: ~400,000+

Summary: First Officer Spock comments on life aboard the Enterprise and his service under Captain James T. Kirk.

Why You Should Read This: This is the Enterprises’ five year mission told through the reboot characters. It’s first person Spock point of view, but don’t be scared off. This fic is extremely long, but the progression of Kirk and Spock’s relationship is fantastic – gradual, from the movie ‘verse strained relationship, to friendship, to more. It’s fascinating to read TOS experiences told through the reboot characters, and the author does a fantastic job of nailing down Spock’s characterization, and through his eyes, a great job on everyone else’s characterizations.

Genesis by Keira Marcos

Title: Tangled Destinies: Genesis

Author: Keira Marcos

Fandom: Star Trek (2009)

Pairing: Kirk/Spock

Word Count: 22, 600

Warnings: None

Summary: Spock convinces his father that his mother’s happiness is the most important consideration and the family moves to Earth where they meet Captain Christopher Pike and his adopted son, James Tiberius Kirk. 

Why you should read this: All of Tangled Destinies is awesome and this is the beginning of that. Spock is perfect. His parents, Sarek and Amanda Grayson, steal the scenes they are in. The connection between Spock and Kirk is fantastic. It was a fun read and had all the right amounts of angst and humor.

Five Times James Kirk Showed Someone Exactly How Intelligent He Is and One Time He Can't Believe He Was So Dumb (Kirk/Spock, PG-13)

Five Times James Kirk Showed Someone Exactly How Intelligent He Is and One Time He Can't Believe He Was So Dumb by anon

He once scares the everliving fuck out of Spock by quoting - extensively - from a Vulcan classic, and then comparing it to Dickens. It is a great moment in his life.
