All The Vault Tracks On 1989 TV  Are Sooo Good!

A kiss, M’lord?

I read a LOT of fanfic and so I figured why not share the stories I enjoyed reading on a weekly bases. My goal is to (hopefully) post each Monday sharing the fics I enjoyed from multiple fandoms. These lists will not include every fic I read over the week but the ones I especially liked. (I might include fic I’m rereading but idk yet.)

So, I really got into The Untamed on Netflix a couple of months ago which lead me to watching the donghua before reading the book. After that, I discovered Heaven Official’s Blessing. In other words, I’ve gotten a little obsessed with these new worlds and fandoms and have been mainly reading fics from these two fandoms.

GRANDMASTER OF DEMONIC CULTIVATION (MO DAO ZU SHI)

🔹️ 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘾𝙍𝙐𝙀𝙇𝙏𝙔 𝙊𝙁 𝙁𝘼𝙏𝙀 [AO3] by 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣_𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Lan Zhan/Lan Wangji x Wei Ying/Wei Wuxian 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 15.7K Words | Soulmate AU

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: “Wei Ying,” he manages, a breathy croak, and peers past his eyelashes to watch those Grey eyes widen. They swirl with more emotions than he can name at the moment- emotions that he has not seen in those eyes for years, and his heart aches further as he watches the other swallow visibly, trembling hands reaching up to tentatively hold his own outstretched one, though they pass through each other like the other is made of mist.

“Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying breathes, and the shadows under his eyes darken as his face scrunches up, looking like he’s about to cry.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I adore all different types of soulmate au’s and have never read one like this before. The idea is honestly really tragic because you can love someone your whole life and then you only find out when they die that they were not your soulmate. I would definitely love to read more fics with this type of soulmate au.

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Lan Zhan/Lan Wangji x Wei Ying/Wei Wuxian 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 9.8K Words | Soulmate AU | Suicide

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Lan Zhan learns several things that day. He learns that his soulmate has been injured on the shoulder- that, judging by his description, they have probably been bitten by a canine of some sort. He learns that his soulmate may not be living as sheltered life as preferred, considering that fact. And he learns the name for the emotion that had sent his heart into overdrive.

Lan Zhan learns that day that he does not like Fear at all.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I actually read this fic after The Cruelty of Fate and didn’t realize for a while it was by the same author. One of the things I like the most is we get to see more of an inside to Lan Zhan’s emotions and feelings. This fic did make me fairly emotion though, especially when we get to the siege of the Burial Mounds. 

HEAVEN OFFICIAL’S BLESSING (TIAN GUAN CI FU)

🔹️ 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙐𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍𝙁𝙇𝙔 𝙇𝙊𝙑𝙀𝙍𝙎 [AO3] by 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 [AO3] museawayfic  [Twitter]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Hua Cheng/San Lang x Xie Lian 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Mature | 7 Chapters | 37K Words | Soulmate AU | Depression | Suicide

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: By seventeen, Xie Lian has accepted not having a fated partner, only to feel the connection form the day of the God-Pleasing Festival. While he can’t understand a word of what the person writes at first, following Xie Lian’s ascension, San Lang becomes his most trusted confidant. No matter how many times Xie Lian asks to meet, however, San Lang refuses.

Years later, when war finally brings them face to face, the circumstances are tragic.

Banished to the mortal realm and cut off from San Lang, Xie Lian struggles to support his parents, gradually slipping into despair. San Lang’s spirit returns to him, refusing to leave the mortal realm while Xie Lian is in it. But after only a brief happiness together, the faceless ghost who destroyed his kingdom returns, taking San Lang from him again, and Xie Lian has to trust that their connection is strong enough to bring him back.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I really enjoyed how the difference of Xie Lian and San Lang being soul mates makes to the overall story we already know. I especially love how we get to see San Lang comforting and supporting Xie Lian when he is going through a rough time.

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Feng Xin x Mu Qing | Hua Cheng/San Lang x Xie Lian 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Mature | 3 Chapters | 34K Words | Suicide | Modern AU

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: It had been a decade since Xie Lian passed on.

Feng Xin should’ve let the past stay in the past, but when he found out his old best friend’s house was going to be demolished after being on the market for so long with no buyers, he made a stupid decision. He actually bought the house. He knew it would come with baggage, but he didn’t realize the baggage would come in the form of ghosts.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I had not ready any Feng Xin x Mu Qing fics until this one (even though I was mostly focused on hualian) and I actually kinda liked it. Anyways, this is an amazing modern au that did great job at keeping true to the characters. I also really enjoyed how we get to read about how Xie Lian is able to come to terms with everything that has happened to him and get his happy ending.

So, I kinda changed my name on here because I wanted something a little more gender neutral.

Have you ever wondered where books come from?

Well then, let me show you, because that’s what I do for a living.

Right now, it’s this time of the year, and the little ones have just freshly hatched:

You’ll notice they’re still blind and naked when they hatch. So I make them little coats to keep them warm during their first winter:

See how they happily line up to put them on:

See? Better. Now they’re ready to go and explore the world.

And if they make it through the winter and we take good care of them, they will grow up to be strong and wise like their older fellows:

So, in case you were ever wondering, now you know.

Can we please appreciate Odysseus being a silent stalker in the shadows, taking out suitors with his bow, not deigning to speak to them as he takes them out one by one

until some of them go "we have to strike him in the darkness too! we know the halls of this palace! the odds can be tilted!"

and Odysseus, built this palace with his very hands, has to step out of the shadows like "are you this fucking stupid"

them: you don’t watch game of thrones?? really? how come?

me: 

No one’s saying this so I guess I’ve gotta: no more shirtless scenes for men if the actors gotta starve himself. Its just as bad as woman being forced to lose weight for a needless sex scene/photoshoot what have you. If it endangers the health of the individual it should not be encouraged.

Well, here’s another late post because finals were keeping me too busy.

Starting Monday (4th) I have finals so this week I haven’t been reading as much because of the amount of homework and studying I have to do. Luckily, I’m going to have a couple weeks free before I start my summer classes.

BBC’s SHERLOCK

🔹️ 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙏 𝙊𝙉 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙎𝙇𝙀𝙀𝙑𝙀 [AO3] by 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙬𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙢𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙩 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 5.4K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Sherlock stared at the imperfect circle on his left wrist in horror, then sat down on his bed with a bit of a thump. After over thirty years, his heartmark was finally showing activity. This was not good.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I’ve really found myself falling for fics where Sherlock falls for John first and thinks its unrequited but it’s actually not. It’s oddly specific but one of my favorite types of fics.

🔹️ 𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙈𝙊𝙉 𝙏𝙊𝙉𝙂𝙐𝙀𝙎: 𝙐𝙉𝘼𝙎𝙎𝙐𝙈𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝘽𝙍𝙄𝙇𝙇𝙄𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀 [AO3] by 𝙟𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙡 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Explicit | 11 Chapters | 41.2K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: John may be predictably average in most things, but there are a handful of areas in which he knows he is uncommonly skilled. He can make a great cup of tea, for one. He’s also good at patching folks up, putting bullets precisely where he wants them, and listening.

The one skill that John is perhaps most exceptonal in, though, is language. John is a polyglot.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I LOVED this! Especially because John assumes he is average but *suprise* he knows way too many languages.

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 10 Chapters | 15.7K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Sally Donovan discovers an old secret John Watson considered long buried - a ten-year old “Men of the Armed Forces” calendar, which has John as a very enticing pin-up for August. The image of John might just change the way everyone sees the unassuming sidekick, even Sherlock Holmes. 

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: A hilarious fic that had me laughing the entire time. John was in a pin-up calendar several years ago and it now comes back to haunt him.

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: John braced for the cutting deduction the day they met at Bart’s and Sherlock said “Afghanistan or Iraq?” Six months on, it still hasn't come.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I didn’t know a trans!John was what I needed until reading this fic but now I wish there were more!

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 3.5K Words | Trans!Sherlock 

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: He could leave John with a piece of himself. He could give John a secret. He could come clean about the one other thing he hadn’t told his best friend, the thing that didn’t matter to anyone but Sherlock now.

“Sherlock is actually a girl’s name.”

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: After reading the fic above about trans!John I searched for more trans fics in this fandom and stumbled upon this one. A beautiful read!

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Derek Hale x Stiles Stilinski 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Mature | 1 Chapter | 10.6K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: “You guys are really cute together, how long have you been married?” Ryan questions, Derek frowns at the question, why would he think Stiles and him were married? 

“What?” Derek asks, his brow turned down in confusion.

“Oh have you guys tied the knot yet? I just assumed since the page you showed us of your work earlier said Hale.” Rya replies with a shrug.

“We’re not...together. I’m adopted, the Hales took me in which I was like five. Derek’s my best friend.” Stiles explains with a frown.

“Really? But the way you two talk and touch each other...and you live together. You smell exactly the same too, like you’ve rolled around in each others scent. You’ve been inseparable since you got here even. I just thought...” Ryan trails off with a look of disbelief, his cigarette forgotten in his hand.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: First off, we basically got a punk!Stiles especially with a bunch of tattoos! Second, who doesn’t love fics where the main pairing is thought to be in a relationship when they aren’t?

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: James 'Bucky' Barnes/Winter Soldier x Steven 'Steve' Rogers/Captain America 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | General | 1 Chapter | 3.3K Words | Soulmate AU

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: At some point in everyone’s life, the first words their soulmate will ever say to them will appear in deep black writing on their skin.

The words fade to light grey when a soulmate dies.

Sometimes new words replace them, whether they’re wanted or not.

(These were the words Steve was was born with, running in a messy, uneven line across his skinny little chest, beneath both his collar bones: You okay pal? Those jerks didn’t hurt ya too bad, did they?

Steve woke up from the ice in 2011 with the words, Who the hell is Bucky? circling his heart, in printing so precise it barely looked human.

Steve hated them.)

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I loved this fic (as I am clearly a sucker for soulmate aus)! What as really interesting to me was how the author portrayed soulmarks and what happens to them during Steve and Bucky’s lives.

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Hua Cheng/San Lang x Xie Lian 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 7.5K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Xie Lian’s soulmate died a long time ago, he grieved and mourned, cried and screamed. Its really too unfortunate how he falls in love with someone still waiting for their soulmate to come back.

Or. Soulmate AU where you feel your soulmates pain and hualian have a bit of a miscommunication going on.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I don’t know why I love miscommunication fics so much. The angst kills me but the reunions are always so beautiful!

we’re getting a percy jackson live action series that can possible be five seasons long (one per book) and literally give rick artistic control and involvement whilst also allowing us and a whole new generation to grow up with those beautiful stories of kids who can be humans and gods at the same time and struggle and fall just like us and you know what? that’s all we could’ve asked for so thank you, thank you for everything rick riordan - the uncle we didn’t know we needed but the one we can’t replace.
