Do you have alnst fic recs? I stumbled on yours and liked it so I was wondering if there are others you like. Thanks!
oh boy, do i ever! it kinda depends on what you're in the mood for but i have plenty to suggest, so i'll list a few. also, thank you, i'm glad you enjoyed my fic! <3
first off i wanna recommend literally anything by yamscooper, their fics are. truly delightful. banger characterization banger ideas etc. etc. i've read all their alnst fics and am happily subscribed. most of their stuff is on the lighthearted side but reunion in a lucid dream Fucked Me Up and i still haven't recovered tbh. i can't tell you what it's about and it's untagged, you just have to go in blind and trust the process.
next up is not even another eternity will you stop your lovely orbiting by quillifer. honestly anything by them is great, lots of really fantastic smut with great characterization. but this one emotionally ruined me. if a fic makes me cry i'm legally obligated to recommend it to everybody and man this one. sure did that. god. it's a great character study, beautifully written with an interesting concept and a very bittersweet ending. highly recommend.
while we're on the subject of fics that made me cry, a feat in and of itself, if you're okay with some heavier topics, crucify by decision_to_leave is insane. please do mind the tags if you check this one out, it is Not for the faint of heart, but i read it a few weeks ago and have thought about it pretty much daily since then. it's a till character study written in a beautifully poetic style, the writing is just incredible. again, great characterization here too. can't recommend this one enough if you can stomach darker topics.
if you like smut i'll toss out face faking by beniyuri because it changed my life and running is an endurance sport, did you know that? i don’t think you can outrun me, by the way because it's the fic that got me genuinely interested in actor au ivantill. both of these are fantastic!
aaand for some ongoing fics: prayers, and second chances by kolteel is an amazing mizisua-centric time loop au (time loops my fucking beloved); your arson's match, your somber eyes by suoutsukasa is a really great character study of actor till with some tasty slowburn; and you taste the silver by kyirah is a very fun streamer till x actor ivan where ivan kinda becomes his sugar daddy. i'm chewing on all of these fics and eagerly awaiting updates.
wow this got long because i have inability to shut up disease but yeah those are some fic recs
what other ships do u like
i am. such a multishipper lmao. when it comes to alnst i'm more interested in writing ivantill than anything, but as far as blue lock goes... man i don't even know my top ships so let me just list some. kungiri (obviously), rinsagi, tabiori, ryusae, ryurin, aikusae, kaisagi, kaichigi, rinchigi, bachirin, bachisagi, barousagi, uhhh the list goes on lmfao. i don't think i actively dislike any bllk ships, though there are some that i don't feel a lot of real interest for.
do u have plans to write any more fics for alnst? the one u posted was so lovely!!
waugh thank you so much :'-) this is so kind! i absolutely do, i have a handful of wips already and a few more ideas kicking around in my head that i haven't yet put to paper in any way. for example, i'd really like to write something in the actor au or high school au, but i don't really have any concrete ideas for those yet, y'know?
the two ivantill fics i've actually begun to seriously work on are a vampire ivan x monster hunter till au inspired by this art from @sighdotjpeg, and a time loop au featuring till repeating round 6 and the week or so leading up to it as he tries to figure out how to save ivan from his fate. the vampire au will probably come out first because time loop fics tend to be a big undertaking, and while i don't intend for it to be multichapter, it's probably still going to be on the longer side lmao. and i am... not... the fastest writer in the world. but i have more inspiration to write fic than i have in literal years so that's a good sign!
thank you again, i hope you have a lovely day 🫶
