moment from Nothing in the World fic series that I cant stop thinking about

Note: Happens in both Any Other Name ch. 56 (Izaya's pov) and Protest Too Much ch. 55 (Shizuo's pov). Highly recommend you read both concurrently to experience both povs 😊

🥤🍄🍬☁️

i will restrain myself i wanna ask at least half of these XD'

🥤 recommend an author or fanfic you love

Hmm hard to choose so I'll leave a couple

Pretty much anything by Sleepmarshes @marshofsleep is good shit, most people that have been in the fandom for awhile will probably already know their stuff, most of what's up is soma stuff. They're a master of emotional whiplash and can go from comedy to serious in 5 seconds flat in a way that is both satisfying and devastating.

The Moments We Touch by tastewithouttalent

A really good Stein/Spirit longfic that has them as kids, and then later as adults going through the events of the anime while dealing with their complicated relationship. It's also one of the few times I've read a fic that shows anime scenes that hasn't bored me because it was just restating what we've already seen. The scenes we see replayed in this show new context to what's happening and reframes what we've all seen before in different light.

Pray for the Wicked on the Weekend by thought

@thought-42

Stein/Spirit again. A rare second person fic, and one that uses second person in a really effective way. I'm a sucker for second person fics after Marsh subjected me to it, and they are very rare to see. I love Spirit's characterization and thoughts in this, it's very good and honestly I should reread it again.

def pacts by LikeAFish

Stein/Spirit, one of my favorites, it's from Spirits pov and has him dealing with his relationship with Maka as well as figuring out his feelings about Stein, and their past. It sadly hasn't been updated in awhile, but its still worth a read for how good it is.

I have a bunch more I could recommend probably but this is already a lot lol

🍄 share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

This is a little hard for me cause there are very few head canons that are consistent for me, I tend to change my mind on things depending on the fic I'm writing. And most of what stays consistent my brain has grouped under characterization, not head canons.

That being said after digging through my brain a bit heres what I've got that does stay consistent. Stein is a very introspective person and so is very aware of boundaries with Spirit. While he loves pushing buttons and seeing how far he can go with something, he's also very conscious of how what he did in the past affected Spirit and attempts to not further damage their relationship/make Spirit seriously uncomfortable. (Like a lower level of uncomfortable for a joke he'd be okay with, the kind that isn't wholly negative. but if it was something more than that he'd be very aware and cautious about it.)

As for Spirit I see him as being very confident with women, but the moment it comes to Stein there's always a lack of it, some form of nervousness. Which tends to change depending on the situation I throw them in, but there's always something, sometimes its because it's men, and he has less experience/is just realizing he's gay. Sometimes it's because it's Stein and their past is so complicated how does one navigate that amidst developing feelings. Sometimes it's because of what happened in the past leaves him with complicated feelings in the present. And sometimes it's cause he has no idea what Stein's feelings might be towards him.

🍬 post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

Man idk I mainly have opinions on unpopular characters I can't really think of anything for the popular characters, so I guess I'll give you something that I think is unpopular for my usual idiots.

First thought was my perception on Stein saying he doesn't understand love when fighting medusa, that he's not being very truthful with that comment. But I've already kinda voiced my thoughts about that here, while the post isn't directly related to that comment I said anything I would have touched on for it.

The only other one I can think of is that Stein and Spirit are both switches, neither one of them are purely a top or bottom. Which I only assume is unpopular based on fics always picking one or the other. But Spirit's a hedonist and Stein would want to experience anything he could just to know what it's like. And they'd both like both roles for different reasons. Spirit would like being more of a top/dominate cause making Stein who's usually so stoic into a mess of pleasure or teasing him till he's practically begging for it would make Spirit giddy, and uniquely proud of himself.

Spirit would like being more of a sub/bottom cause he's more of a sensory based guy. (like he's more on the sensing side of the perceiving axis of myers briggs typing if you get my drift, but I digress I could make a whole in depth post about both of their myers briggs types) And Spirit is the hardworking type, I don't think he remembers how to relax sometimes, so being "forced" to relax on occasion by his partner being more dominate and taking the lead is something he'd really appreciate.

Stein is used to being more dominate/leading things (meister, teacher, ect) it's a role he's used to and comfortable in outside of the bedroom, so inside would likely be no different. (Even if the universe in question he had little experience with this stuff, the moment he does he'd be comfortable with leading things) He also seems the type to me to know and remember the little things about a partners body (like an arrangement of freckles on a shoulder or something) and being in a dom role gives him a good position to observe his partner and memorize them, and their reactions to things.

As a sub/bottom Stein would like actually being in touch with his body for once, and not having to be in charge of things. He'd be happy just to bask in the sensations for awhile, or he'd have fun pushing Spirit's buttons by being a brat (if we're talking more bdsm flavored dom/sub style)

☁️ what made you choose your username?

At some point when I was a kid I was flipping through TV channels and caught a glimpse of a Shakespeare adaptation (which to this day i cannot figure out which one it was) where a character was monologing in the woods, which was first where I heard the word melancholy. I looked up what it meant, and being a bit of an edgy teen went 'yep sounds like me' I started using it for mmo's and such shortly after, which is where the double L and the Morose came from, i added the extra L as melancholy was taken a lot, and then decided I like the aesthetic's of, and the Morose came from MMO's that required a last name for your character. Idr why Morose is what i went with besides i liked the alliteration, and it sounded better than macabre.

dude im being 100% fr shizaya fanfic writers were and are fucking insane

because my school banned ao3 (my fault, but that's not important), i saved a bunch of super long shizaya fics (which are PLENTIFUL for some reason, maybe because tastewithouttalent wrote so goddamn many) and have them open to entire work which allows it to stay open on my school devices without being “registered” per say

and they have been like. fucking destroying me

To Hell and Back by corteae started with “izaya and shizuo travel around the world and wacky shenanigans happen” and i was messaging my discord server like “SHIZAYA WORLD TOUR WOOOOOOO” and i was expecting wacky shenanigans and then suddenly everything went off the fucking rails in the way i LEAST expected it to happen

like maybe i wouldn’t have been so blindsided if i hadn’t skimmed through the tags so quickly but like it’s more fun that way. i hate when i actually see a ‘major character death’ tag warning because i want to be surprised

ANYWAY that was genuinely like. one of my favorite fanfiction reading experiences to date. it was like reading a whole novel with how much original stuff was in there but it was so focused on izaya and shizuo and characterized them so unexpectedly well that the original stuff never really felt out of place or forced even though it was so wild

and even though it got super dark at times it maintained this really hopeful outlook on everything and sometimes it was downright cheesy but it just WORKS for that fic and i love it because of that

and some of the challenges it made the characters go through just worked SO well for their canon characters especially post-ketsu and i gasped audibly at some of them and Ahrhghgghhfdgfd

and then the past few days i was reading this zombie apocalypse fanfiction (april 23rd by izayas) and it was like. the most depressing fanfiction reading experiences to date. i literally had a panic attack in school after i read this for a bit too long a session like holy shit it just felt so real and so heavy and hopeless

the writing was phenomenal and well-planned/foreshadowed and probably has the best shizuo AND izaya characterization that i’ve ever seen?? like i could believe things would actually happen in this way in canon. probably because their hate for each other is so intrinsic and they’re never really able to let go of that?? which is not what i expected because yes they bond and yes they care for each other but it was always in a way so that you could feel the wall between them, and even when they connect it’s only briefly, never enough to tear them away from their hatred fully

it almost feels shakespearean in how tragic it is?? everything is so character driven and all their downward spiraling is so poetic and sickening but utterly gorgeous to read. like at so many points you’re like GOD if only they had done this one small thing different, if only if only if only and it’s just htrgrhgfhgd drives me insane which is probably what izayas-san was going for lmao. esoecially at the end you can really feel the shakespeare tragedy kicking in

it’s notable that although it’s tagged shizaya and very much centers around their relationship, it’s much more an exploration of the will of human nature and their individual struggles with coping and growing from their experiences, and there’s like. no typical romance whatsoever

it’s about their sick, twisted, passionate love and whether it’s enough to save either of them or if it’ll kill both of them and just. god. i am empty after that fic i didnt cry but it feels like all the tears have been drained from my body i dont even know how to feel or how to function. i had to take a break from writing this review and it’s been a whole weekend and there’s still this weight on my chest that i cant get rid of :sob: for my sanity’s sake i sincerely doubt i could ever read it again but i honestly treasure that experience

ANYWAY READ SHIZAYA FANFICTION IT’S BUIILT DIFFERENT

#this fanfics literally changed my brain chemistry dude im so infatuated with both #they’re like at complete opposite ends of the fanfiction spectrum but they’re both so amazing #funny how they’re both kinda roadtrip-like in nature #although for very different reasons #izayas or corteae if you ever read this know that i love you #you’re both so creative and so clever and such amazing writers that i really look up to #shizaya #shizuo heiwajima #izaya orihara #durarara

Can you Rex some good shizaya 👀

First thing first, check out @glaciesdraco. She reblogs everything Shizaya and is an amazing author for the pairing herself. Her blog is a shizaya paradise <3

A Cheap Imitation has to be my first recommendation. It's a really great fic and one very beloved in fandom. @shigaeruigaeru on tumblr is even recreating it as a comic which you should also definitely check out because his work for the fandom and Shizaya is incredible.

Any work by onewhodiedyoung is a piece of art!

tastewithouttalent is a must check out writer!

TeamAlphaQ has written a lot of Shizaya works that I love!! Definitely check out.

Life is an Unknown Course by UmiHinode is a lovely fic. It follows the pairing after Ketsu and them reuniting.

Remember the Monsters by Illupin is a very funny story that follows Shinra reminiscing about the two of them in highschool. It's canon divergence which you will learn why near the end of the fic if you read it!

To Hell and Back by corteae is the Shizaya road trip we never knew we needed until this amazing story.

sachi_sama is another amazing author!!

Really, there are so many amazing stories and authors in the fandom that I could recommend and want to. I need to go through the tag again myself to find some of the amazing new stories created by the fandom. I've recced some of my favourites and popular stories. Though I do have to warn that some of these are rated explicit!

#durarara!!#shizaya #thanks for the ask!!

🌸FLUFFY FRIDAY #38🌸

✨bring a toothbrush✨

Letting loose (holding on tight to you), by vaindumbass (1,5k)

Remus is high on painstillers after the full moon, and Sirius comes to visit him

So unbelievably cute and just what Remus deserves!! That boy is way too tense all the time —apparently it take drugging him down to make him a bit more honest about his feelings!

Nature, by tastewithouttalent (3k)

It takes Remus time to find his way back to himself after his monthly transformation, but Sirius is always unstoppably impulsive.

Sometimes I wonder: how many times have I read about wolfstar’s first kiss? In how many different ways? This fic is certainly a good example of a first kiss fic. It’s so so lovely, with the boys being all stupid and sweet. If you want some pure fluff, you should definitely read this!

Are you enjoying summer?

xx Elliot🌸

Top five favorite Soul Eater fanfics ever? With links please. ❤️

HOLY DUANDEOJDSN OKAY. YES. I LITERALLY WAS JUST ON AO3 OKAY OKAY WARNING MOST OF THESE ARE SPIRITSTEIN

Accidentally made this long

Number five- Warning, this is kinda dubious consent annnd nsfw, but I REALLY like it for the fact that it really has that messed up part of spirit and stein's relationship and what could have happened when stein experimented on spirit

Number four- AGAIN ANOTHER FUCKED UP ONE BUT. really really like it because of how off putting it is

Number three- this one just makes me happy, its a sweet fic about Maka finding spirits old photos

Number two-

This one is still going, but dude, it's so fucking good, it's really really good. It's basically stein and spirit just being assholes with eachother I can't even explain it but this fanfic is exactly how I feel their dynamic is

Honorable mentions (sorry I couldn't pick just five)

(Kami hates tomatoes.)

(spirit cuts stein's hair)

(maka goes through spirit's attic)

(spirit comes out to Stein)

(hard to describe this series it's just. Really good okay.)

There's a lot of fanfics I love, many that aren't even spiritstein but. I'm not gonna fill the honorable mentions board anymore LMAO

Number one-

This has to be the best fanfiction I've ever read, in general. It's long, I know, but it's the best fucking experience you'll ever have. I read all of this in one sitting I remember staying up the entire night I legit didn't sleep when I first read this, after reading it I screamed about it to my friends I was SO changed. This fanfic changed me forever. It's basically Stein's POV on the events on soul eater. Dude, it's so so fucking good I actually cried reading this and had many many emotions it's REALLY good. I'm shaking just TYPING about it GODDD pleaseeeee read this one especially.

LAST ONE IS MINE READ MINE- https://archiveofourown.org/works/45967561/chapters/115702672 (IT WOULDN'T LET ME ADD AN ACTUAL FUCKING LINK I HIT LINK POST LIMIT LMAO)

Also most of these fics are written by tastewithouttalent, they wrote my favorite fic, honestly all of their spiritstein fics are the best thing ever go read them all. Idk about the other ones but yeah. Good. Yes.

#i could talk more but yeah.#thank you for . asking #i am normal #soul eater #everyone read these actually

Wolfstar Week: Hogwarts Fluff ☁️

Author: tastewithouttalent Rating: Teen Word Count: 3,098 Era: Marauder’s

Summary: "'I wouldn’t hesitate to ditch you if I had a date,' Sirius says at once. His lashes dip, his gaze flickers to Remus for just a moment before it’s gone again, too fast for Peter to notice but more than enough to register for Remus himself." James leaves the other three Marauders to their own devices for a romantic Hogsmeade trip, and Sirius follows his example.

Comments: A wonderfully written fic full of soft happiness.
