roronoa zoro x gn!reader

reader gives praise + pet names / slightly steamy / zoros a simp

“missed you today,” you mumble against his mouth.

zoro thinks you’re heaven bottled, straddling his waist, kissing him like you’ve been starved. he sits back, enjoying your undivided attention and flurry of soft, deep kisses. his large hands gently squeeze at your sides, then move to your thighs, kneading the soft, plush skin.

he’s in love with you. zoro is completely and unequivocally in love with you. he’s drunk on your lips, your body, your voice. everything. you fill his senses and bewitch his mind. even the scent of your hair left on his pillow has him burying his nose into the plushness to get more of it. he’s obsessed. he’s so sure of it, and yet it’s so foreign and strange for him.

zoro is no stranger to desire. he knows how it feels to want something so badly you’d kill for it, but never has he felt a desire quite like this one. it’s not a desire to win, or to be the greatest, or to serve. it’s vulnerable and fragile. it’s consuming and overwhelming. it’s more more more.

and that’s all he can think when your lips finally part, your eyes looking down at him like he’s never done a bad thing in his life. like he’s precious. innocent. loved. missed. wanted.

“i love you,” you whisper to him, tracing the sharp edge of his jaw before pressing a gentle kiss there. he pulls you closer, if possible, his strong hands gliding up your t-shirt to rest on your bare back. he presses his lips to your neck, earning a satisfying sigh from you, so he sucks lightly.

“i love you,” he mutters into your skin, goosebumps forming along his defined arms as your nails begin to scratch at his scalp. close just isn’t enough. he buries his face into your shoulder, nuzzling there.

such a big man and yet, for you, he’s melted butter.

“you worked so hard today,” you tell him, kissing the shell of his ear, “you’re so good, baby. so good.”

he relishes in the praise. he wants it so bad. from the moment you joined the crew, he’d been jealous of any praise you gave to anyone else. especially the idiot cook. how he longed to have you tell him he’s done well, that he’s good, that you’re proud.

zoro doesn’t know when he turned into such a melt, but you just have that affect on him. you make him feel like he can be vulnerable in your presence.

“thank you,” he breathes, squeezing you tighter.

“do you want me to rub your shoulders?” you ask him softly, pressing little kisses to the side of his head. he could stay here forever and a day.

“you don’t have to,” he says, voice rough from how tired he is. you chuckle lightly.

“i want to,” you tell him honestly, pushing him off with great difficulty, “let me take of you, ‘ro.”

he’s so thankful to whatever fate bought you to him, shuffling around so he’s sitting between your dangling legs, your hands rubbing gentle but firm circles into his muscles. he groans when you hit a certain spot, so you stay there, every now and then kissing the crown of his head.

he’s just not worthy. he doesn’t understand how he managed to get this hallelujah. how, out of everyone, he’s the one you devote your time to. he’s the one you drunkly confessed to one night after a successful fight, kissing him before pulling yourself away and mumbling how sorry you were and that you understand if he didn’t feel the same.

how ludicrous.

it was his bed you clambered into and never left. it’s his mouth you kiss good morning and kiss goodnight. it’s his hand you squeeze under the table. it’s his face you search for in the crowd.

and he’s so fucking thankful. there’s a God. there must be.

“never leave me,” he finds himself saying out loud, your movements stopping, hands resting against his shoulders. he feels you move, and then your lips against his ear.

“what a silly thing to say,” you speak softly, sending a shiver down his spine as your hands begin working at his tired muscles again, “i’m not going anywhere, ‘ro. please don’t worry about that.”

he closes his eye. trusting you. relaxing back into your embrace. if you’re destined to always be at his side, always sleep beside him, to rub his shoulders and kiss his skin, then he’s sure, more than ever, there’s someone Holy looking down on him. he should be more accommodating to that thought. maybe it’s time he actually thank whoever they are.

hell, he might even start praying.

this is sooo chaotic, and i might do a rewrite at somepoint, but not now~

wordcount~ 4k+

★⌒ヽ

The future's lookin' bleak Your will to live is weak But honey, hold on for me...

★⌒ヽ

You sit up so fast you bang your head on the lid of the link pod. Cursing silently you stand, rubbing your forehead.

Your father crosses his arms before motioning for you to follow him. You follow after him, not giving anyone a second glance as Grace calls after you.

You sit in silence as he moves paperwork around the desk, searching for something. You twist a loose strand of hair around your finger before speaking, "Dr. Augustine doesn't like how you're meddling in the Avatar program."

He stops abruptly, dropping a stack of papers, and you watch as they float to the floor. His fists clench, knuckles whitening, "Well, it doesn't matter what she thinks, I need you to focus on the mission assigned to you."

Sighing you blurt out, "She's planning on taking us to the Hallelujah Mountains, in two weeks."

He scoffs, tossing an envelope on the desk, "That won't be happening."

Crossing your arms you groan in frustration, "It will be, you know that this is our best chance at getting Parker's damn unobtainium."

You stand hand on the door frame before your eyes catch sight of a familiar picture. A small plain silver frame, a woman with long brown hair and dark eyes smiles, her hair whipping wildly across her face, her eyes squinting as the sun blinds her.

Your hand grips the door frame tighter, "Of course you kept it," you snap angrily as you slam the door behind you.

Storming through the hallways you nearly pass your door, when someone calls out to you. Looking over your shoulder you see Jake in the hallway. Your face heats up when the memories of the last few hours surface and you throw open your door.

He clears his throat before speaking, "Listen, about earlier-"

You cut him off sharply, "Goodnight, Jake."

You shut the door and slide down against it, holding your hands in your head, you whisper, "Fuck."

★⌒ヽ

Hiding from Jake hadn't exactly been easy, but you managed. It wasn't that you didn't like him, things were just complicated, especially after that night.

And hiding from Jake meant hiding from the others too. Grace had been hounding after you for weeks, she at least seemed to sense something had happened. And Norm, well, he didn't understand why you had been so avoidant, but he at least gave you space. Until today at least.

Your feet tap against the ground nervously as you reach for another cigarette, almost lighting it before someone clears their throat nervously in front of you, "Grace wants to see you."

You drop the cigarette and toss your lighter back into your pocket before following Norm to the link room.

Grace stands with her hands on the table in front of her, annoyance clear on her face when she looks up at you, "Where have you been?"

Taking a seat in front of the table you meet her eyes, "Nowhere in particular."

"Damn it, you know how important this is, we leave in the morning! You disappeared for two weeks!"

You shrug your shoulders and lean forward on your hands, your hair falling in your face, obscuring your vision. She grabs your shoulder, forcing you to face her, her eyes full of sympathy as she speaks, "Be here tomorrow, one hour before we depart."

She releases your shoulder and strides out of the room, leaving you alone with Norm.

"I'm glad you're back," he says with a nervous smile as he takes a seat across from you, flipping open a book on Pandoran ecology when the link pod at the end of the room opens up, revealing a disheveled Jake. His brow twists in confusion when he sees you, his mouth opening, "H-how, why. Where were you?"

Standing your shoulders tense, and you speed walk into the hallway, heat rising up your face before you light another cigarette, and hear Norm reprimand you for smoking near the link room.

You almost feel numb waking up the next morning, following Norm into the link room, watching as Grace makes preparations to leave.

"So where're we going?" asks Jake as he enters the room, stopping next to you.

Grace steps towards him, "Getting out of Dodge. I'm not about to let Selfridge and Quaritch micro-manage this thing," she says as she throws a glance at you.

"There's a mobile link up at site 26 we can work out of, way up in the mountains."

A look of shock comes over Norm's face as he steps closer to Grace, "The Hallelujah Mountains?"

"That's right," Grace says.

You groan, but at least Norm looks excited, "Are you serious?"

"Yes!"

You smile as he laughs, and cover your mouth with your hand, as Jake looks up at him in confusion. Norm's expression changes from excitement to one of jealousy as he speaks, "The legendary floating mountains of Pandora? Heard of them?"

You frown at him and whisper to Jake, "It's fine, he's just jealous," with a laugh.

★⌒ヽ

"We're getting close," Grace says over the noise of the blades of the helicopter.

You wince when Trudy replies, "Yeah, look at my instruments," and see them glitching all over the screen.

"Yep, we're in the Flux Vortex."

"Which means we're VFR from now on," Trudy says as she chews her gum.

You try to keep your eyes on the floor of the helicopter, so you don't get too dizzy, but look up when Norm asks what VFR means, and Trudy replies, "Means you gotta see where you're goin'."

"You can't see anything," Norm prompts as you glance out the window, seeing nothing but fog.

"Exactly," she laughs, "Ain't that a bitch?"

And as you crane your neck to look out the window, thoughts of dizziness now gone, you can see them. The mountains, floating, but not moving as you pass them by, are covered in vines and flowers, and ferns.

And you gasp, marveling at the beauty of them while Norm blurts out, "Oh my God."

Trudy laughs again, "You should see your faces!"

And seconds later you're landing.

"Thank you for flying Air Pandora," Trudy says before shutting off the helicopter.

You carefully reattach your oxygen mask and step down from the helicopter, walking up to the door of the lab. Although you don't bother waiting for Grace or the others to enter, quickly take your mask off again and inhale deeply.

Tossing your bag on your new bed for the next six months or however long, you watch as Grace turns on the power, led lights nearly blinding you as Jake and Norm file in.

Trudy tosses a bag down and grabs a bottle of water from the fridge as Grace starts to explain the layout.

"All right Jake, hang a left and you'll be in the link at the end," she points to the end of the room, "Unit One, Beulah. She's the least glitchy."

"Quaritch, you'll be in the middle, Unit Two. Second least glitchy," she says as she passes you directing Norm to where his link is.

You can feel your face heat up in anger when the name leaves her lips, Quaritch, truth be told, you'd rather be called anything else.

Dinner is quiet as you push your food, now turned to mush, around your plate, Grace stares at you, before turning to Norm. You feel a tap on your hand underneath the table and flinch, looking over to see Jake, looking at you, torn between saying something and staying silent.

You grab his hand, entwining your fingers, and you hear him catch his breath before his grip tightens on your hand.

★⌒ヽ

Jake watched as you walked past him to join Mo'at, and gave a small wave. Which you completely ignored before Neytiri appeared before him, her eyes inquisitive as she glanced back to see you.

So, you were still avoiding him, not that that was anything new, he thought to himself as Neytiri took a seat on a nearby moss covered log.

"Today you will learn the language of the people," she said as he sat down across from her.

After Neytiri had discussed the basics of the language, they began repeating words back to each other, starting with how to pronounce certain words and phrases.

"Na’rìng," Neytiri says slowly.

"Na’rìng," Jake says as she pronounces it again stressing the 'a' sound.

"Again, na’rìng."

"Na’rìng!"

He flinches as she smacks his head muttering, "Skxawng," under her breath.

It was just repetition after repetition after that. At first, Jake tried to use learning the new words to distract himself from thoughts of you, but he failed miserably. He wanted to say something, anything to get you to even acknowledge his presence, but he didn't know what.

Just as Neytiri is about to pronounce the word again, he hears your voice coming from behind him, "No, I don't think so."

Standing, Neytiri greets you, "Snatanhì, how are you?"

You laugh, and smile as she gives you a quick hug, "I am well, and you?"

"Jake Sully is difficult to teach, but I manage," her words make your smile drop, your eyes looking over to him.

"I see," you say, coughing into your hand before wishing her luck and following after Tsu'tey.

He frowns as he watches you leave. It had been almost two weeks since you had had any sort of conversation, well other than brief greetings and asking how the weather was.

His brow furrowed as he thought about how to get you to talk to him, or at least stop leaving the room every time your eyes met. Just as Neytiri starts with another word, and his eyes light up with an idea.

★⌒ヽ

The next day your eyes flutter open, and you sit up in your hammock and follow Neytiri, and Jake through the branches of the tree. Watching as Neytiri calls for her Ikran, you wonder where Tsu'tey is.

And then you hear the screeching of Seze, who lands in front of Neytiri, her wings flapping, kicking up the leaves, so they swirl around you.

"Holy shit!"

"Do not look in her eye," Neytiri says as she offers her a piece of meat, "Seze."

"Tam tam, Seze," she whispers as she pats her neck.

"Ikran is not horse. Once Tsaheylu is made," you watch as she makes Tsaheylu with Seze, "Ikran will fly with one hunter in the whole life."

You take a step back as Neytiri mounts Seze, "To become taronyu, hunter, you must choose your own Ikran, and he must choose you."

"When?" asks Jake his voice oozing confidence.

"When you are ready," Neytiri replies as she pulls down her visor and takes off.

You watch as she flies around the tree, and duck when she nearly knocks you off, laughing before you hear Tsu'tey behind you.

"Come, there is more training for you," he says, leaving you to catch up.

You give Jake a small wave and rush after him, wondering what training he'll have in store for you.

It turns out to be more archery. Your limbs feel sore as you hobble to your hammock and lie down, your eyes closing, and then opening. The lid of the link greets you.

★⌒ヽ

You pick at your nails as you record your video log, "Video log twelve, not much to say, it hasn't even been a full week yet. But I have made more progress with the bow, I don't miss my target nearly as much, so Tsu'tey hasn't been too upset with me. And I started helping more with Mo'at," you grimace, remembering how many different herbs and medicines you had to memorize with her.

"I think I know the name of every medicine, how to use it, alternative ingredients, and where to find them now. My brain feels fried."

Racking your brain, you try to think of something else to add, but come up with nothing, opting to instead end the video log.

"Done already?" asks Grace as she writes something down on a paper, free hand holding back her hair.

"Yeah, I'm going to the link now."

She hums in agreement as you pull the lid down, and close your eyes, and then open them.

The day goes by quickly, and you end up spending most of it with Tsu'tey practicing archery and hand to hand combat. You kick your feet at his legs, almost knocking him to the ground, but he catches it instead, slamming you into the ground, his knife on your neck.

You shut your eyes, thinking of a way to reverse the situation when his knife leaves your throat and you hear Neytiri and Jake approach.

Tsu'tey stands and greets Neytiri, ignoring Jake as you stand and dust yourself off, unsheathing your knife, and lunge at him. He stumbles forward as you hold your knife to his neck, your knee digging into his shoulder blades when you feel a hand on your shoulder.

Looking up you see Jake, his eyes filled with uncertainty as Tsu'tey uses your distractedness to throw you off of him. Your knife falls to the ground with a dull thud and you groan in annoyance.

"You distracted me, I almost had him!" you shove his shoulder playfully, smiling before turning back to Tsu'tey, "What's next then?"

After your training with Tsu'tey and watching the sun set, decide to gather some more herbs for Mo'at, and let the bioluminescent plants guide you through the forest, pointedly ignoring the sound of footsteps coming from behind you.

Grabbing a fist full of bark from the tree in front of you, you carefully place it into the basket next to you. You reach down to grab it but feel hands on your waist. You gasp when you feel lips on your ear.

You turn to see Jake standing behind you as cups your face in his hand. You lean into his touch, your eyes closing as he leans in, lips meeting yours. You feel a shiver run down your spine as his hands move to grab your ass, and he pushes you against the tree behind you. His lips trail down your neck, and you cover your mouth to conceal a moan, but he yanks your hand away from your mouth, "Don't, I want to hear you, baby girl."

You stiffen at his words, your eyes going wide as he stares at you, before closing them, "Why?" you whisper, as he kisses your neck, his hands between your thighs.

His fingers slip beneath your loincloth, "I want to hear you when I make you come."

You throw your head back, your fingers grasping at the bark behind you, "Fuck," you moan as his fingers move to rub your clit. Your knees shake as he keeps your clit between his thumb and index finger, rubbing in small circles, teasing you, before he slides a finger inside of you.

You close your eyes and bite your lip to hold in your moan as he slowly slides a second finger inside of you, curling his fingers upward to stroke that spot inside of you.

"Please," you beg, wetting your lips, "L-let me come," you whimper, and he slides his fingers out of your warmth and shoves them into your mouth.

He turns you around to face him, your eyes meeting his, "Do it. No, don't close your eyes, look straight at me."

You whimper at his words, you didn't even realize you had closed your eyes. He slides his fingers out of your mouth, "I want to see the look on your face when you come, baby girl."

You let out a small moan, desperate to come when you realize he's already removed his own loincloth, before he slides his fingers back into your mouth. Your jaw drops as he puts his hands back between your thighs, quickly sliding his fingers back inside of you.

"Fucking hell," he groans, watching your mouth, as you suck his fingers.

His fingers slide out, and he grabs your hips, and slides his cock inside of you, thrusting forward, he slams his mouth on yours, muffling the moan that erupts from you, he groans, "Fuck, you're so tight."

The bark scratches at your back and you throw your head back, your eyes falling on the bright blue sky above you as you focus on the feeling, You wrap your legs around Jake, and moving your arms around his neck and arch your back, to press your chest against him, "F-fuck," you moan, grinding your hips into his.

You feel his fingers dig into your hips as he fingers your clit, and you throw your head back, your hair falling in front of your eyes, as you moan.

You cry out, your whole body trembling, as your orgasm rocks through you. He pumps his hips forward and you feel his cock pulse as he spills himself into you.

You breathe heavily, gasping as you feel his come drip out of you. Jake rests his head on your shoulder, panting. Your arms wrapped around each other.

"Oh, shit," you gasp and Jake lets out a chuckle, kissing your neck, "Don't," you whine, covering your neck with your hand, "Your mouth is right there, I can still feel your mouth on me."

"Good," he whispers to you and you roll your eyes.

Jake pulls out of you and your eyes fall on your thigh, a small red mark from the bark where you gripped it.

"Damn it," you say, wiping at the mark with a slightly irritated sigh.

Jake laughs and kisses your cheek, "Maybe you should stop using trees as your cushion, then you wouldn't have that problem."

"I'm not always having sex with you," you pout.

You grab the basket and begin to gather your things, when you hear his voice, "I can make it so you do."

You look at him, your eyes widening, "Jake-"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything," he says, getting up.

You sigh, "No, it's just, complicated."

"I know, I just-" and he sighs, "It's just really nice with you, I don't want it to stop."

"I don't want it to stop either," and you meet his eyes, "But it's not that easy," and you grab the basket and begin to walk away.

Jake grabs your hand, "Wait," he says, and turns you to face him "I just want you to know that I want... this," and he gestures between the two of you, "I don't want it to become awkward between us, I want this to stay the same."

You nod, "I-I want that too," your voice is quiet, "I'm sorry I avoided you then, I was dealing with a lot," and you sniffle.

Jake pulls you into a hug and kisses the top of your head and you bury your face into his chest.

"Your Father?" he questions, his voice soft as you nod your head.

"No, I just don't know if I can go through with this."

"With what?"

You sigh, tears brimming in your eyes, "The mission, assignment. Whatever the hell you want to call it, it's not right."

His hand brushes away your tears and pulls you closer to his chest, his thoughts in turmoil.

★⌒ヽ

You flinch at the sound of Grace stirring in her sleep. Looking over you sigh in relief, seeing that she's still fast asleep you maneuver yourself over the metal threshold and sit on the edge of Jake's bunk. His eyes blink slowly before they open and he grabs your arm and pulls you to lay down next to him.

Feeling his arms wrap around you, you smile and nuzzle into his chest. It was strange, you thought, being so close to someone. In your twenty-one years of living, you had never once really given thought to what it would be like to have someone who cared for you.

Of course, you had your Father and Mother. But your Father was never really around much or cared for you much at all until your Mother died of course. And your Mother, well, you had been sure any ounce of love you were capable of having had died with her. But now, you weren't so sure, you thought as you felt Jake's lips linger on the shell of your ear, his warm breath making your face heat up.

"Still awake?" he asked groggily as you felt his arms wrap around your waist, pulling you closer to him.

Humming in reply your lips met his in a quick kiss. Hearing a muffled sigh you laid your head back on his chest, smiling. Things might turn out alright in the end, you thought to yourself as your eyes closed, ushering in a dream filled with past memories.

★⌒ヽ

You could almost taste the anger in the air as you walked to your Father's office, the door cracked open slightly, yellow light illuminating a small sliver of the hallway.

"You're going home, with-"

Your Father was cut off sharply by your Mother's voice, her voice angry as she whisper shouted at him, "I'm not leaving, my whole life's work is here on this planet, and you want me to abandon it because you think I'm getting 'too close' with the Omatikaya?"

Her laugh is bitter as she crosses her arms in indignation, "I can't believe you, it's because of her isn't it?"

You flinch when you hear his hands slam on the desk, its feet scraping as it moves forward.

"The both of you will be leaving after your next assignment, and if you don't, I'll make damn sure you're on that ship first thing in the morning."

She scoffs, "Is that a threat? I don't understand why I can't stay. Let me do my work, it's not like I'm interfering in whatever the hell Parker wants," she pauses to clear her throat before continuing, "And what about our daughter? She was born here, she's never even stepped foot on Earth!"

"She'll be fine-"

Losing your grip on the door, you fall forward, and his gaze snaps to you.

And suddenly you hear your name being called and feel a hand shaking you awake. Rubbing your eyes and look up to see Grace looking down at you, a small smirk on her lips as you sit up and push your hair out of your face.

"What time is it?" you say, words slurred with drowsiness as you rub your eyes again and stretch.

"6:30. Now, hurry up and eat, village life starts early, remember?" she says as you take a seat at the small table.

Norm gives you a good morning before turning back to his computer, and Grace passes you a plate of eggs. You eat them quickly before standing and rushing over to your link, hoping that Tsu'tey will be lenient with your lateness.

★⌒ヽ

The days rush by like a river, fast, and everchanging, and suddenly it's your forty-second day in the mountains. This also happens to be the day Jake convinces Mo'at to let Grace back into the village.

And it seems time flies by faster after that. Three weeks after Grace is allowed back into the village, Tsu'tey takes you to hunt. You follow him through the trees, listening to the sounds of animals chirping and drops of rain falling against the canopy of leaves above your head when he motions for you to stop.

You glance ahead and see a yerik standing in front of a moss covered log. Notching your arrow, you pull back the string and let it fly past you, the force of the string snapping cutting your cheek.

Rushing over to the now flailing yerik you feel guilt twisting in your stomach. But you push it aside and unsheathe your knife as Tsu'tey stands behind you, watching silently.

"I see you, sister, and thank you," you finish as you stab into it.

"Your spirit goes with Eywa, your body stays behind to become part of the people."

You sheath your knife and pull the arrow from the yerik as Tsu'tey looks down at you, "You are ready."

A fic rec of One Direction fan fics where something bad inadvertently happens to Harry because of his signficant other as requested in this ask. You can find all my fic recs here. If you enjoy the fics, please leave kudos and comments for the writers! Happy reading!

-Larry-

🎯 You Are The Blood by sarcasticfluentry

(E, 175k, Potter Direction) A seventh-year Hogwarts AU in which Niall gets all the girls, Liam goes on a journey of self-discovery, Zayn falls in love, Harry wants something more, and Louis tries to figure out once and for all why he, a Muggleborn, was sorted into Slytherin.

For the spotify top 100 fic, how about John/Augustine and your #4 song? Or a different song on your list if that one doesn't fit well :)

For spotify top 100 fic meme! (Still taking these!) A little under 500 words. Warning for mentions of suicide, alcohol.

Hum Hallelujah by Fall Out Boy

And one day we'll get nostalgic for disaster

Augustine finds him on the roof, standing near the edge and humming a song he can't make out.

They're still adapting to living under this… dome of flesh and bone. There's not much to see outside, so he didn't expect him to be out here, in the dark that stinks like a slaughterhouse. When Augustine realized, sometime past midnight—so they'd been drinking for at least twelve hours—that he couldn't see John, he'd gotten worried. He'd looked everywhere in the facility, his beer-hazy panic growing slowly, until he tried the roof.

John turns around slowly as Augustine walks in his direction. His hummed song ends abruptly as Augustine gets closer, and Augustine stops with a few metres between them.

Even in the dark, John's eyes are bright.

"I needed some air," he says, before Augustine can say anything. Augustine exhales.

"I thought you might've fallen off," he says. "How much were you drinking?"

"Not enough for that." John takes his hands out of the pockets of his sweats, and puts them back in, a nervous gesture. "Did you think I was going to jump?"

It hadn't even occurred to him. John bringing it up himself sends a bolt of fear through Augustine, but he just forces a smile. "No. Who knows what would happen if you died? Maybe this would dissolve and we'd all end up arrested. You wouldn't do that."

"No, I wouldn't," John agrees. He turns away, looking at the wall again. It's lit up by the floodlights outside the facility, but only from the bottom. Tall shadows are cast on the wall. It's creepy.

Augustine knows he shouldn't—knows it's a pointless question—but he still asks it. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," John says, exactly as Augustine expected. He pauses for a long moment. "Did I fuck this up?"

"Fuck what up?"

He gestures broadly enough to encompass the meat wall and the facility. "All of this."

Augustine has had about three too many beers and nowhere near enough sleep. He's not in his right mind for this conversation. "What's done is done, man."

John laughs softly. "That's a diplomatic answer." He turns around and walks past Augustine, their shoulders brushing on John's way to the door back to the facility. The brief touch leaves Augustine wanting more. John stops, his hand on the door handle, and Augustine just looks at him.

"I know we can't go back," he says, "but I'm nostalgic, I guess."

Augustine thinks of a lot of things at once when he says that. The first discovery of John's powers. The early days of their work together. Their late nights in college. The taste of John's mouth, seasoned with beer and cigarettes.

There was a time when he thought he was in love.

"Go to bed," Augustine says through numb lips.

John smiles. "Goodnight." He resumes his humming, and vanishes.

It takes four cigarettes for Augustine to feel human enough to go back inside.

#thank you!!#john gaius #augustine the first #john x augustine #augustine x john #the locked tomb #tlt #mine: fic #answered #jaimehwatson #ask games

Hi idk if you’re still doing recs but I recently read say hallelujah say goodnight and I can’t stop thinking about it so do you think you could do a rec for fics where one character (could be H or L) starts out really innocent and gets darker and darker as the story progresses (basically like a corruption arc) because I love how H is written in SHSG and I would love to read more like that okay thanks bye!

Hi sweetheart. That’s an interesting request. I don’t think I really have something where either becomes “dark”, but if you haven’t read Victorian Boy, you might like that one. Louis definitely tries his best to corrupt Harry.

I have to give some thought as to whether I’ve got any others that would work.

some larry fanfic recommendations! aka my favorite ones (they're all on ao3)

young & beautiful by velvetoscar (my favorite piece of literature ever.)

-> college au, enemies to lovers, pining i think?, the slowest burn ever, lots and lots of hurt with a bit of comfort (i was in physical pain reading it and i loved it), amazing quotes and incredible writing (please just read this bye)

baby heaven's in your eyes by theboyfriendstagram

-> high school au, enemies to lovers ig, slow burn?, it's really complicated but i reread it three times because it's amazing somehow, harry is punk and louis is a snob lol

collision by itjustkindahappened

-> fairytale/mythology au, but also college/university, enemies to lovers, slow burn, world travel, it's so cute seriously, then there's this one thing at the end that just hurt, but it's a happy ending! also so so many cameos

say hallelujah, say goodnight by alivingfire

-> historical fantasy/mythology/religious imagery au, angels and demons and stuff, it's heartbreakingly beautiful, major character death at the beginning (he comes back tho, kinda the point of the book), apocalypse, found family, they're honestly so cute

join me in the afterlife by guccikings

-> fantasy/mystery au, it's about ghosts and demons and cults, i think american horror story s1 served as inspiration, supernatural too, there's a lot of death (i mean.. ghosts), but there's a happy ending!!! hurt/comfort too, angst, fluff, murder mystery

anyway that's it, if anyone has some good recs drop em thx <3

#i seriously spent too much time reading fanfiction #enemies to lovers is the best trope ever #i also adore historical fantasy settings #larry #larry fic #fanfic #larry stylinson #archive of our own #ao3 #fanfiction recommendation #one direction #harry styles #louis tomlinson #niall horan #liam payne #zayn malik

Fanfic Faves - 2022

My 2022 favorites. Of course, I had 50+ on my fave list, and I had to narrow down to 15. I cut out fics that were rereads, and fics that I've mentioned elsewhere in lists. I removed double mentions of authors. It was still hard to get it to a manageable list. But here it is. My top 15 for 2022.

These aren't all published in 2022, but were all read by me this year. For some perspective, my total fic count for the year is 271, almost 20 millions words read. I've read some really good fics that didn't make this list.

Find me over at @FlyWishing on Twitter to chat, if you want! Adding a cut because this is long...

Say Hallelujah, Say Goodnight by alivingfire - https://archiveofourown.org/works/10749141/chapters/23831946

Louis is an angel who is just a little too bad to be good, Harry is a demon who is just a little too good to be bad, and they're both a little too in love to be impartial when angels and demons go to war.

My thoughts: Exceptional. No extreme smut. Soul mates. Louis angel. Harry demon. Save the world. Love each other across Millennium. Superbly written.

2. Of Mates and Men by BananaHeathen - https://archiveofourown.org/works/26640253/chapters/64964377

In which, Louis and Harry meet as best men for their best friends' wedding... well... sort of. Or, the one where Harry's just moved back from New York and Louis doesn't believe in romance. Or, I guess... the one where Zayn and Liam are getting married.

My Thoughts: This was the year BananaHeathen finished this WIP, so I can add it to my faves list! I LOVE this sweet friends to lovers slow burn. Louis is a romance agent, Harry is a photog getting over a serious break up. Great OT5 found family. Exceptionally written and long, but you never want it to end.

3. Burn to Ash by bethaboo - https://archiveofourown.org/works/1854157/chapters/3988654

Or the fic where Harry spirals out of control, the band breaks up, and then he shows back up, five years later.

My Thoughts: a new favorite. Canon to a point, except it's Harry as an alcoholic (Trigger warning) who leaves the band and doesn't return for five years. Slow burn as Louis learns to forgive him, but it's lovely and there's a small side plot of Ziam.

4. Lightning Strikes Twice by dinosaursmate - https://archiveofourown.org/works/12950415/chapters/29601396

Louis slipped his hand onto Harry’s thigh, snaking his fingers up and inwards. “I’m a big fan. You’re so talented, and I have to admit that I actually fancy you a bit.” “Yeah?” Harry reached up to push Louis’ fringe out of his eyes. “Well, you know, I like to try and be accommodating to my fans.” “You’re quite well known for that,” Louis whispered as he turned his head some more, their mouths an inch apart. “So I hear.” Rock star Harry Styles was nineteen when he met Louis, a groupie with a huge heart that Harry couldn’t quite shake from his mind. Fate granted him a second chance at the age of sixty, his washed up and lonely existence being transformed by a widower with a bookshop.

My Thoughts: I loved this one. Super sexy but also really sweet. Spans a lifetime. Older characters are written really well.

5. Torn on the Platform by frecklebomb - https://archiveofourown.org/works/6203497

AU where harry and louis are strangers but they always get the same train to work in the morning and one day harry falls asleep on louis' shoulder. louis wants to be annoyed because harry just broke a least seven rules of tube conduct but he looks so soft and peaceful that he just lets him sleep and wakes him ever so carefully when it’s his stop. it happens again and again until it becomes a regular thing where louis will let harry snooze and then gently nudge him awake, hand him the cup of coffee he took from him so it wouldn't slip and spill everywhere and send him off with a “have fun at work, love” and after the tenth time harry isn't even embarrassed any more.

My Thoughts: This is a PODFIC - I listened in the car. Such a good light story read by the author, who has a lovely narration voice. Loved everything about it.

6. Tied Down by HamPalphert - https://archiveofourown.org/works/16218140/chapters/37907963

The most interesting case in Liam and Niall's careers falls directly into their laps, courtesy of an epic fuck-up of one Harry Styles, partner to the almost-infamous drug dealer Louis Tomlinson. The investigation yields an unexpected yet satisfactory outcome for Liam and Niall. For Harry and Louis, however, things are far more complicated.

My Thoughts: I really liked this crime drama; it's told from a variety of different perspectives, and it all comes together at the end.

7. Desires for Woolgatherings by isolated - https://archiveofourown.org/works/30421635/chapters/75003873

AU: In the midst of his second world tour, Louis Tomlinson receives the devastating news that his former bandmate, Harry Styles, is in critical condition after an unfortunate accident. Fresh with the loss of his mother and his sister, Louis’ world darkens once more as he flies out to California, preparing for the worst. There, Louis is faced with the ghost of his past, realizing the hand he played in the band’s division. As time goes on, Harry’s condition becomes dire, and his only chances of survival forces Louis to participate in a makeshift, illegal drug trial orchestrated by a dubious neuroscientist.

My Thoughts: science fiction, love the angst and happy ending. Canon divergent. Louis has to undertake an experimental procedure to save Harry in his dreams.

8. Shadow Dances by itsmotivatingcara - https://archiveofourown.org/works/38097370/chapters/95165941

A FBI - Medium AU

My Thoughts: crime drama, supernatural, x-files-esque. GREAT characters. Great plot.

Cara burst onto the fanfic scene this year with a great list of crime drama/supernatural fics. If you like this genre, go read all of them.

9. I'll fly Away by juliusschmidt - https://archiveofourown.org/works/5390444?view_full_work=true

Harry and Louis grew up together in Lake County, Harry with his mom and stepdad in a tiny cottage on Edward’s Lake and Louis in his family’s farmhouse a few minutes down the road. But after high school, Louis stuck around and Harry did not; Harry went to Chicago where he found a boyfriend and couple of college degrees. Six years later, Harry ends up back in Edwardsville for the summer and he and Louis fall into old patterns and discover new ones.

My Thoughts: TW for some internal and external homophobia. But this has nice character development exploring small town Larry and 1 D.

10. Have Love Will Travel by kingsofeverything - https://archiveofourown.org/works/24971224

Rather than spend the summer working at their desks, Louis and Harry are given the opportunity to crisscross the country together in a tiny camper, filming their adventures for a YouTube series. It soon becomes obvious to their viewers that there’s something more than friendship between them. Eventually, they figure it out.

My Thoughts: super cute. Road Trip Larry. Lots of state parks, travel. Louis has a crush and of course they end up together.

11. Promise Your Whispers are mine by lightswoodmagic - https://archiveofourown.org/works/30297759/chapters/74675502

Harry’s the head chef at Azoff’s Catering, and he loves his job; the opportunity has always been more than he could dream of and he’s proud of the food he creates. Until he meets Louis, an event coordinator rising through the ranks with his own company, and who reminds him of the dreams he once had for his own career. While their easy friendship initially thrives in an industry known for chaos and betrayal, they soon discover they both have their secrets, and maybe it’s too late for either of them to try to find happiness outside of their work. Especially when they realise that their happiness might rely on each other.

My Thoughts: I liked this one a lot--it would make a good Hallmark channel movie--a bit of angst. Some internalized homophobia. Good OT5. Side of Ziam and a glimpse of Shiall.

12. The Murmur of Yearning by MediaWhore - https://archiveofourown.org/works/24575821/chapters/59353969

Four years ago, Harry Styles was forced into a marriage of convenience to enrich and ally both his and his promised's families. The sudden, and slightly suspicious, death of the Marquess of Haxshire, however, brings great disturbance to Crescentfield Hall and, as his late's husband's closest male relative, Harry unexpectedly finds himself the head of a family he never felt he belonged to. Between a meddling distant cousin hellbent on inserting himself in Harry’s life, his wicked and mistrustful mother-in-law and his late husband’s advisors refusing to help or take him seriously, Harry struggles in the fight to keep what he’s earned and make the Estate finally feel like home.

My Thoughts: This one is really good. slow burn. historical fiction. really lovely Harry. Great Louis. Rocking Niall as the valet.

13. Golden by shaylea - https://archiveofourown.org/works/38275321

Harry is fully dressed when Louis returns to the room. He’s slumped on the edge of the bed, fingers twining awkwardly around the edge of his pink flounces. “Can I come?” he blurts when Louis opens the bathroom door.

My Thoughts: Great slow build. Secret identity falling in love. Louis as a farmer is particularly sweet.

14. Down the Line by sunflouwerhabit - https://archiveofourown.org/works/34559743/chapters/86026318

OR: Star shortstop Louis Tomlinson only finds solace between the white-chalk lines of a baseball diamond, until Harry Styles- the absolute bane of his existence and (probably) the worst pitcher in Major League Baseball- becomes an overnight sensation in the city Louis calls home.

My Thoughts: Really liked this baseball fic. Good solid OT5, great character development. Love story feels believable as does the angst and past-trauma.

15. Swallow the Knife by whoknows - https://archiveofourown.org/works/19429339

“You came,” Louis says, still breathless, clinging to Harry, uncaring that his sweat is getting all over Harry’s presumably clean dad shirt, or that he’s making Harry hold up all of his weight. “Of course I came,” Harry says. He shifts, one arm curled underneath Louis’ arse, the other spreading wide in the middle of Louis’ back. “If I ignored you every time you pissed me off we would have stopped being friends a long time ago.” Louis already knows that, of course. It doesn’t do anything to stop the pleased squirm in his belly every time Harry proves it, though. They fight like nobody’s business, both of them too stubborn to pull their punches when they’re arguing, and it used to get them in trouble, but they always make up. Adrenaline makes Louis loose-lipped, and they both know it. He tightens his arms around Harry’s neck, buries his face in his hair. “I missed you,” he confesses, quiet. “Doesn’t feel the same up there by myself.”

My Thoughts: really enjoyed, slow burn, canon compliant. Louis needs support on his first solo tour and Harry comes along to help him.

Happy Reading!

Rosann xoxo
