Juice Stains by @thelov3lybookworm Dad! Eris and his adorable son. Just adorable. I love some good wholesome dad eris content
Untouchable by @serpentandlily Azriel x Rhys sister!reader Just tagged one part of the series but the whole series had me kicking and screaming. Just so so incredibly good.
A Bitter Farewell by @dee-writes-smut Eris x Reader. A good old fashion heart breaking angst fic.

so the most recent fics I’ve read on my kindle are the first two parts of the time has come today series by teen_dean (@urne-buriall on tumblr I think). and these are so good. I’ll elaborate more in my fic review but I am excited to share the cover I developed for my kindle collection because I really enjoyed going through different iterations of this cover. I’m just posting the cover I landed on for now, but I think I will share some of the other iterations which include design choices that I cut and edited at length(in another post or reblog later).
Fic review, cover design notes and a small disclaimer under the page break:)
fic review: I’m not always one to love casefics, watching cases passively on screen is one thing, but I can’t always immerse myself in a case to keep interest. I’m more one for character dynamics and the dynamics here are so interesting and introspective and funny I can’t get enough.
When it comes to the characterizations the author really nails it too. They are so close to canon that when I inevitably dissociate from atmospheric chemistry seminars and start thinking about supernatural, I can’t remember if something happened in their fic or on screen. I love these characters and teen_dean obviously does too because they treat their characterization so carefully. The cover I designed references scenery and plot points related to the case part of the fic, but I wish I could have incorporated the deep and thoughtful character analysis that is part of this fic.
And the imagery, particularly the west coast imagery, is. so. good. Very rarely am ever I struck with the desire to draw imagery described in writing, but it struck me at multiple times throughout this. most noteably the cas in the orchard paragraph highlighted in one of my pics towards the end of young hearts (will it be my first castiel fan art??? I certainly hope so.) chef’s kiss.
I really thought I would take a break after finishing young hearts, but I wasn’t ready to not know what happened to teen dean and past-cas in the next fic so I’m reading the rules of have changed today now and I have no regrets.
some notes on the cover design: I’m not sure this translates to the end result, but the glowing text of the title/author/everything-else was meant to represent the flickering lights of neon signage you might see in a dive bar. The description of Schaffer’s bar at the beginning and end of the first part is rich and another example of really capturing the feeling of canon (which I should mention is something the author does really well through scenery too). I don’t think I necessarily got the colors right (I initially imagined a larger color palette), but I’m feeling pretty good about the glowing aspect of it. In a print book format, I’d like all of the red to be metallic embossed.
Its very faint, but I included the silhouette of a mountainscape with silhouettes of dark watchers watching in the background. I think you have to zoom in to see them though. So I included a zoomed in image of two of the dark watchers. See if you can spot the other two!!
The last thing I wanted to mention is that I know arimaspians are typically one-eyed (on their heads). I took a creative liberty and put an eye on the hand.
lastly, a disclaimer: I know that teen_dean already has a cover and print typeset for their fic on their page. I just wanted to add my creative twist on it for my kindle collection and wanted to share it with you all :’). I should say explicitly that this was not designed in communication with the fic author. I do not take any credit for the fic (credit to the story goes to the author and characters to the cw). if teen_dean comes across this I especially hope they enjoy it<3, but if for any reason you (teen_dean/urne-buriall) don’t want to be associated with this cover, please contact me and I will take this down.

𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐢𝐝𝐞 • 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰
general info
author: Misdemeanor1331 fandom: harry potter pairing: draco malfoy/hermione granger chapters: 10 (technically 9) rated: M/E potential triggers: death, violence, sex
𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐈 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐃: 𝐲𝐞𝐬
While ferrying a message for the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione Granger is caught by jaded Death Eater, Draco Malfoy. Unlikely and unwilling allies, the pair begin a cross-country journey where their survival depends on learning when to stand strong against the elements’ fury, and when it’s acceptable to erode.
so, yes, i would absolutely, no questions asked, recommend Time and Tide. but this fic is not my typical dramione fic rec whatsoever. at 10 chapters and under 30k words, it is pretty short, so there's no slowburn there. their relationship builds pretty quickly, but not abruptly. hermione being a selkie is one of the biggest story points in this fic, which i loved. i don't feel like i see many creature!hermione fics, honestly. the most notable feature of this fic, though, is just the writing itself. i mean, it's beautiful. you can absolutely tell the author is a seasoned and talented writer. for a short fic, the characterization is great and the entire time i was practically screaming, "PLEASE WORK OUT PLEASE GET SAFE PLEASE BE HAPPY" at my kindle.
also, for the record, there are two endings to this fic. one is HEA, but one is not. both contain smut. i read both because of course i did. the non-HEA version felt a little rushed and...underbaked? i don't love criticizing the work that amazing fic authors do for free, but it is worth noting. if you are going to read one ending, i highly suggest the HEA one, not just for your own mental health, but also for the story. the HEA one isn't even totally HEA, so the edginess is still present!

I was expecting dead dove but it was actually really sweet 🥺🥺 Max not having to worry about anything other than racing bc christian is taking care of everything... Geri not knowing max is staying with christian.. Max not even daring to tell christian his wings are sensitive incase he will stop touching him all together... Wow
haha thank you 🥹 it's maybe not *as* sweet on the second read 👀 [spoilers below]
obv since it's from max pov, he's giving christian a lot of benefit of the doubt but after the fic ends you realize wait..... somethings a little manipulatively afoot. like christian not telling his wife ab max in the guesthouse, or the fact he's had a winged driver before and he knows to some degree they are sensitive and he still keeps touching them 😳 or the fact christian's the one who would stop max from overworking himself but allows it when he thinks he's slower than pierre (whole factory and nobody stops him? clearly orders from above)
so yeah, the dove is very much alive and very much a little pet instead of free 🫣 but I did want to write a surface level sweeter fic that's just a little off when you think about it, and I'm happy with it
Thank you for reading!

Ray. RAY. That summary, Ray. Oh, my god, I certainly have a thing for devotion. Also, Ichigo basically going "you made me god, now worship (but let me rearrange the world so that you have a cushion to kneel on)".
That's the vibe I was going for so I'm glad it came across!

reading inky mystery
good morning y’all, it is currently 3AM right now and i have developed some very strong opinions about inky mystery that i need to projectile vomit onto the internet. this is gonna be like a book review so i have some disclaimers/warnings:
#1: this “review” is not intended for the author, TAP, or anyone directly involved with the writing of IM. this is readers-only!
#3: i will most likely say very few positive things about the fic so if you don’t want to see negative remarks about your fav fic/story, maybe don’t read this. and also if you can’t handle strong language.
#4: i have not read all of IM, and there is a reason why. i will explain later on but i don’t need anyone to try and avoid spoilers. i don’t care for this fic enough to worry about that. talk to your heart’s content, i want to hear what y’all have to say!!!!
#5: i still enjoy inky mystery and its concepts and the overall story ideas. i think it’s fun and a cool spin on the original qftim au (an au that had so much potential and such shitty execution) and love how the fic has created an entire community around it! don’t get this twisted, i got nothing against IM or TAP.
now i’m gonna put the “review” (more like a rant) under a cut so as to not take up space on people’s dashes more than i already have lol—have fun!!
with such an interesting and promising premise, inky mystery has so far been a frustrating disappointment. i started reading it a while ago (had to stop because of school) and picked up again last night, hoping to get further into the fic and reach the parts that seem to be much more compelling than the exposition. i’m only on chapter 20 and already want to just stop reading it altogether. the more i progress through this the more i think to myself, “is this fic even worth reading 2.5 million words and 335 chapters?” as i’ve come to the beginning of chapter 21, i’m starting to think it most definitely is not.
obviously the biggest criticism is the length. there is absolutely no reason for why this fic is like 3 times longer than the fucking BIBLE. twelve “books” for what? to leave us in the same spot of the plot for the fifth time in a row when the conflict could have been resolved in almost half a chapter? the over-explanation of everything and the placement of practically useless dialogue is excruciating. i don’t understand how having chapter long bits of the warner shenanigans was necessary; i get it was meant for comedy but i don’t think they should dragged any longer than like a paragraph. their dialogue gets old incredibly fast, and it’s just a hinder to the fic’s flow. and before anyone says anything—I HAVE WATCHED ANIMANIACS BEFORE. in fact, i used to be obsessed with them and watched every episode until it stopped airing in 2014. i know they’re supposed to be the way they are in the fic but Holy SHIT DUDE. SHUT THEM THE FUCK UP ALREADY.
listen. i know this was originally written in 2017, but if you’re still updating this into 2024, at this point you need to remake the whole fic and shorten it. the way the author is updating the fic with basically filler makes me feel like they care more about creating content for their readers rather than actually writing a coherent narrative. you don’t need to take down the OG fic but there has got to be a way to shorten it so it doesn’t take literally a week straight to finish the fic in one sitting.
anyways. apart from that, i need to say that the writing style is so juvenile in a way that feels aggravating. i read the most recent chapter to see if anything changed and while it certainly improved in small ways, i feel like TAP still hasn’t learned how to not make sentences like four words long and dialogue sequences that don’t make up half the chapter. i also feel like the narrative is just…holding the readers hand and explaining every little thing like they expect the reader not to have any media literacy at all. i don’t need to know explicitly that boris and bendy are tired from walking for hours, i knew that from your narration mentioning their legs aching and them getting mucky from clambering in the forest.
next, i hate the random inclusion of unnecessary characters. the way the two detectives seem to only show up when it’s convenient and how the warners were used basically like a deus ex machina is frustrating. don’t introduce so many characters with so much detail and then have them show up like twice. i don’t know how to explain this because it’s almost 4AM now and my brain is foggy but god. when those two fox characters were randomly introduced at the end of idk what chapter to have a completely useless conversation with the detectives i felt so annoyed. i don’t know if they have any real significance later on in the story (and i don’t mean that they show up to say hi later) and honestly i cannot be bothered to find out if they do, but if they don’t, that entire section of the chapter was fucking stupid. let your MAIN CHARACTERS learn information from other sources for the love of god.
in the end, i don’t know if i’ll ever finish Inky Mystery, at least not anytime soon. i had fun at the start and now i’m just annoyed and frustrated. also, to the wiki people, PLEASE MAKE CHAPTER SUMMARIES AND SHIT—IT WOULD BE A DREAM FOR THOSE OF US WHO DON’T WANT TO SIT THROUGH 2.5 MILLION WORDS FOR PLOT AND STORY!!!!
also, i am not claiming to be a better writer or have superior knowledge to TAP. i think TAP is good at writing, but has some flaws that really limit their full potential. i myself am an amateur writer with no training or anything, but i am a reader, so that’s why i’m yapping.
ALSO ALSO, i am not doing this to shit on TAP or IM or anyone who likes this story and everything. like i said, i actually like IM and really want to get into it so i can make fanart and everything, but it has been a struggle and i want to voice that because this is my blog and i use it like a virtual diary. i will continue to skim and push through IM, and will most definitely use it as a learning tool for my own au, SITP.
again, this review was made with zero malice in mind. however if anyone wants to say anything i’m 100% open to conversation, and if this reaches TAP’s screen somehow, please know i’m not trying to be a hater!!! i love your ideas and the community you’ve created, promise!!!! i’m done now cus i’m tired and need to sleep so bye to anybody who read through this beast of a post lol plus i don’t have the energy to write all i wanted to say. sorry if there’s any mistakes i’m falling asleep as i write LMAO
bye!!!!!!

First, I want to thank @tackytigerfic for their post that led me to this fic. I’m so glad you provided me with an opportunity to find it, read it, and love it.
where all the veins meet by @saxamophone (146,134 words, rated E)
I know there’s a lot of demand for eight year fics that give representation to realistic trauma, and I think I’ve found THE fic for those who are interested in that. Technically, it mostly takes place at Grimmauld, in the summer between the battle and eighth year, but somehow I feel like this makes it even more of an eighth year fic than some that take place solely at Hogwarts. This in between stage of life and the uncertainty of the future are staples of eighth year fics, and this one might have just become one of my favorite in this category.
First, this fic let the characters be both fun and broken. Ginny Weasley who is terribly sad and therefore a little mean but also the life of the party. Dean and Seamus that are so in love with each other, so sure in their knowledge of the stability of that love, that nothing can shake them. Pansy who simultaneously doesn’t want to be alive because life can be so, so hard but also fiercely loves life and wants a future. Neville, soft and shy but steadfast (and literally the hottest of hot).
Secondly, the characters all love each other - deeply and messily and sometimes unhealthily when they don’t like each other, but they are a family of their own bound together by love and understanding and forgiveness.
Is this a fic about Harry and Draco getting together? Yes. Is this also a fic with an interesting adventure and problems left behind by Dumbledore that must still be solved? Yes! And the problem/solution of that plot makes the romance that much more interesting.
Lastly, this fic features a quiet, private world just for Harry and Draco to look at art. A place for them to grow from the boys forced into a war into the men they will choose to be in the aftermath. It’s anger and grief are real and tangible, but so is the hope and love.
❤️ As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please remember to leave the author a kudos or a comment! ❤️
Lots of Love and Happy Reading!

I read this fic on 26.12.2022 so the editing done by the author is not being considered in this PowerPoint. Maybe I’ll read it again someday and update this incase it needs it but not for now. I’m sure however that my rating won’t change.
I am aware that how we perceive things is subjective, so in case it wasn’t clear: This is my own personal opinion
Be respectful. Love yas

the dummies guide to hand-holding for buddies || minxyone93
audio length: 59 minutes
tags: 09x06, heaven can’t wait, canon divergence, fix-it, human!cas, platonic cuddling, hurt/comfort, resolved angst, no beta we die like sams wig
summary: while still dealing with the rejection of being kicked out of the bunker, cas is faced with an unbearable ache of loneliness. dean sees right through cas and he struggles with his own guilt of leading cas down this road. dean attempts to help cas to asylum through platonic physical affection.
i loved the angst in this fic. i think a lot about how dean kicked cas out when he was human. and as a first-tike human that must have been overwhelming and soul crushing for cas. it’s literally the only time he’s human in all ten seasons he’s in. dean’s guilt felt sincere. i can’t remember if dean ever apologized or admitted to feeling bad but i wouldn’t be shocked if he said nothing. the angst was perfect which built the best lead up for the fluff. they both just wanted to comfort the other after so long of hurting.
note: i’ve know about podfics for a long time already i just always found them super inconvenient since they’re kind of hard to find and listen to. that was until my smart little brain decided to check on spotify since audibooks are a thing on there now and idk maybe someone’s smart enough to upload there. and someone is- nerdynerdenstein has created a podcast making it up as we go they’ve got over 100 podfics so honestly i owe them my life and my first born.
ps~ the tag no beta we die like sams wig is underrated and needs to become mainstream.

Whump Rec Wednesday
First, let me say that this is most likely not going to be a weekly thing - but when I do post whump recs, they'll be on Wednesdays :)
"Stubborn Bastard" by AndThenWeWillBeOkay
The following list of tropes and triggers will contain spoilers.
Tropes and triggers: Near Death Experiences, Blood and Injury, Blood Loss, In Shock, Loss of a Limb, Tourniquets, "Wake up, damnit!", "Stay awake!", Human Shield, Self-Sacrifice, Protective Teammates, Loyal to a Fault, "I've got you, buddy", Rescue Carry, Field Surgery, Behind Enemy Lines, Masked/Helmeted Heroes, Face Reveal, Face and Hair Pats, "You should leave me", Struggling to Breathe, Brief Fever and Infection, Brought Back, Soft Hospital Room, Soft Awakening, "Go back to sleep", Bedside Vigil? Bedside Vigil, Platonic Relationships, Tooth-Rotting Fluff, Team as Family, Happy Ending
Fandom: Halo: Reach
Review is below the break.
Okay okay okay - y'all
I had clicked into this fic bc I had just finished Halo: Reach for the fourth time and I was craving some of that good team dynamic content (we were robbed, I tell you!) and when I say I was so, so, so pleasantly surprised???? No, that's an understatement. I was working at the time and had kept telling myself to wait, to save it for later, and I only barely managed to do that.
So, what does this fic entail? Why should you even bother clicking into it when you haven't even played the Halo games, let alone Halo: Reach?
That's the beauty of it, you see. You don't really need much context to enjoy this fic (but it does make it more enjoyable if you know the characters). They're a team of Spartans (enhanced, armored super soldiers) that were deployed on Planet Reach. The team's name is Team Noble. Newest member: Noble Six (your character, in-game). Noble Six's face is never shown, which allows you to interpret them however you see fit. In this fic, the author went with their own interpretation and made him albino. Reach is currently being invaded by an enemy alien race, the Covenant. If you intend to play the game and care about spoilers (the game was released in 2010, folks...), then I suggest holding off until you have done so - as this could be classified as a 'fix-it' fic.
This fic contains a large number of my favorite tropes. I will always be a thirsty bitch for found family and protective team dynamics. On my rating scale (which will fluctuate and be inconsistent, like me), I put this at: Bookmarked and downloaded to my Kindle library (yes, seriously).

Hi! Can someone explain the plot of Measure of a Man? I don't quite understand if i should read it or not. Also, how long does it take for their relationship to develop? What's the most prominent trope?
I have not read that one, sorry :(
Anyone wanna give a brief review in the comments?
Edit: Thanks!
shorthairedme: This is by no means a comprehensive overview, but I love Measure of a Man so here’s a few of my thoughts! I believe it takes place over the course of 6-9 months so while it’s slow burn in terms of word count, the actual timeline from the point in which draco and hermione start working together closely to when they commit to a romantic relationship isn’t that long. It’s a poignant, beautifully written fic about familial relationships, duty, and self-care. Getting a bit deeper into the details, I’d say the fic features an ensemble cast and focuses heavily on the relationship between parents and children, specifically Narcissa and Draco and Draco and Scorpius. Hermione works hard to facilitate communication and trust amongst three people who did not have the best examples for motherhood or fatherhood. Draco has been a widower since Astoria passed away and struggles with connecting to Scorpius. Hope this helps! :)
artielu: Pov Hermione. It's a brilliant character study of Draco, going from a widower of Astoria and eventually blossoming into dramione. The trope is nothing to something to everything. They are both deeply guarded characters and the way they come together is such poetry. We have healer!Hermione, healer!Theo, ministry!Draco, competence kink, and a beautiful cast of supporting characters who have their own lives.
