braintransplant every time i look at the spreadsheet i laugh...i thought i would clue you all in on the genuine chaos i have experienced this year rapid-fire obsessing over a shit ton of media for no reason
title: red sun, rising
fandom: horizon zero dawn
rship: aloy/avad
current length: 3.5k
summary: Aloy comes back to Meridian.
best line: "You don't look like her." / "I never will."
comments: so....turns out my horizon zero dawn curse is eternal...THIS GAME CAME OUT IN 2017. avad/aloy still makes me crazy because frankly whats better than repressed royals falling in love with crazy bitches? nothing! and avad literally tries to get aloy to marry him canonically in the game even though his old gf just died. like the dynamix are seriously psychotic. the mission he proposes to you at the end of is called The Sun Will Fall and his official title is sun king like okay geurilla games i fuxking see you. anyway the problem i have writing this is that both these character's voices are super hard to write, and its also hard to contrive a plot out of the non-ending provided by the game's canon. i'll finish this eventually.
title: clarity, in all it's terror
fandom: asoiaf
rship: jon snow/roslin frey
current length: 3k
summary: It was Robb that Roslin had first prepared to wed, but in the end, years later, Jon Snow was the one riding into the Twins, looking more a Stark than his brother ever had.
best line: People in the Riverlands always called Northmen cold and strange, but Roslin felt a quivering in her chest, like when she was a child, and tried to hold a caught frog in her hands.
comments: my greatest asoiaf joys are 1. insane ships that marry jon off to one of robb's potential/actual wives after his death, and 2. wildly hand-wavy post-canon future fic. jon snow's increasingly fraught identity is so fun. TO ME! also arranged marriage is a fun trope to right...repression is everything to me
title: ????
fandom: haikyuu
rship: oikawa/hianta
current length: 2k
summary: "This is never happening again," Oikawa says.
best line: As for tossing to Hinata, Oikawa had though about it. Of course he had thought about it––had held the idea in his mouth like some strange, exotic fruit; excited both by the possibilities and the idea that it might be poison.
comments: you are not immune to haikyuu renaissance or brazil arc oihina....anyway this is nonlinear junk where oihina hook up once in brazil as a one time thing and then are like haha just kidding later at the olympics. in my head they are a very weird version of soulmates
title: indigo, held fast
fandom: bts (do not speak)
rship: yoongi/taehyung
current length: 3.5k
summary: There are five red lines running down the center of Taehyung's back.
best line: "I don't think a romantic would have stayed so long." / "Romantics always stay too long. That's what makes them romantics."
comments: this was my thankyoufic to post on ao3 user junkseller due to multiple old fics surpassing 20k hits...essentially it was cryptid fic again but with maltese tigers. also combined with that one nyt modern love article about a couple that agreed to meet again in 5 years. basically kth is a zoologist sent to investigate some tiger sightings in the mountains but on the day he's supposed to meet yoongi he gets attacked and yoongi is still his emergency contact and its all downhill from there. which indeed sounds mental. but thats junkseller era fic for you babes! might finish. the chaos a junkseller revival would cause is too good NOT to pursue!!!!!!
title: twinning the dark
fandom: edge of tomorrow 2014
rship: rita/cage
current length: 1k
summary: "How many times?" / Cage stares at her. Opens his mouth, closes it. Blinks. "Rita," he says, then, course correcting: "Sergeant Vrataski."
best line: "I don't know you, Private Cage." / "You never wanted to."
comments: im not me without this movie...i get so much emotional damage every time i watch it!!!!!!! i just want to write post-canon weirdness because the canon ending is soooo delicious. i like when people dont know and hate each other.
title: soften in the spotlight
fandom: nhl...........
rship: larkin/zadina
current length: 14k LOL
summary: honestly i forgot what i wanted the summary to be
best line: "Nobody asked you to do that." / "Nobody's supposed to have to ask."
comments: i seriously need to finish this...its basically hockey magnum opus. especially because larkin will be named captain soon and that will kill one of the insults in this fic. this fic is good but it isnt. but it is. what do you know about green its all green / i know what its like because ive been new to the league and young and in over my head with someone i looked up to / i know you feel led on and rejected by me. but eventually, you hold the carrot, and im chasing you.
title: spindrift
fandom: the scorpio races
rship: puck/sean
current length: 2k
summary: Do not eat Sean Kendrick.
best line: "It'll be alright," I say stupidly. Sean looks at me, hard and long. We both know I'm lying, and in that, we have our own kind of truth
comments: yes its true every year i got scorpio race'd and cry from horses because the true love got to me. and thats my right!!!!!!!! sometimes hets are literally good
title: against the lyre
fandom: the poppy war
rship: rin/nezha
current length: 2k
summary: "Do you ever miss it?" / Nezha smiles lopsidedly at her. "Miss what?"
best line: "Reliving all those times I kicked your ass in Arlong?" By the time the fleet departed, Rin was a compact coil of lean muscle again, and Altan's trident stopped feeling like a transplant her body was slowly rejecting. / Nezha laughed a little. "No," he said.
comments: ummmm you're not immune to garbage. that is all i can say
title: dragonfly, black-eyed fire
fandom: the poppy war
rship: ??? the psychospiritual triangle of haterism between rin/altan/chaghan after altan dies
current length: 1k
summary: The versions of Altan Trengsin currently existing in living memory is limited to three.
best line: I WOULDN'T EXPECT YOU OF ALL PEOPLE TO KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE IN LOVE.
comments: ummmm....hate... is so beautiful. even if tpw and tdr suck they dont. but they do.
title: razor
fandom: criminal minds ...
rship: reid/cat
current length: 2k
summary: Spencer Reid fell in love. Once, then: twice.
best line: "That's not how this story ends." / Spencer doesn't move. Doesn't blink. Smiles, a little. Feels the phantom gun wavering between his eyebrows. "That's how these stories always end."
comments: you can clearly see that at this point in the year i had truly cracked but in my defense the criminal minds writers went buckwild with the spencer/cat plot. and i love fucked up shit so here i am. anyway this is their FBI chaperoned fake date except spencer unfortunately does reciprocate feelings in some way...you know...that classic psychopath x eidetic memory genius ship
literally there are so many more but its too embarrassing...other fandoms i have cycled / recycled through include detroit become human, anne of green gables, THE TERROR, that awful ya series gone, the winged histories, miraculous ladybug for some reason, narnia for some other reason, gsnk again, dune, and also violet evergarden like 8 times. what i have been through you cannot possibly imagine
