So I have been taking a break but I still got some stuff for y’all. Some different but really good things to get you through these weird and crazy times.
There’s something living in the forest. Something you can’t quite put your finger into.
The opportunity to head south to your grandparents’ old cabin for the summer break was more than inviting. A whole month of solitude, early mornings with orange-red sunrises, the rushing water of the creek – all of it sounded positively seductive, and you were more than interested.
Now, after you’ve settled in, you are positively certain something is taking residence in the forest – something unnatural.
A Flip Zimmerman x Reader that is all types of mysterious. If you like Mountain men/Lumberjacks this is a good mythical take on it. [Status: Complete]
HHeart: Looking for someone to accompany a middle-aged man to a social outing in the country NEXT weekend. I only wish to make my homophobic mother squirm non-stop for sixty hours and nothing more. Successful applicant will be rewarded handsomely. Cash bonus on offer if you are one or several of the following: young (must be eighteen or over - no practical joke is above the law), working class, someone with an extreme aversion to received pronunciation or in possession of a strong regional accent/dialect.
A Kingsman Harry Heart/Eggsy Unwin Fake Dating AU that is SO good. Honestly changed my view of that movie and got me into this ship. [Status: Complete]
It’s just after the Battle of Hogwarts, and the insanity that was Voldemort is over. The clean-up is about to begin. How will the Wizarding World return to sanity? And will Harry manage to keep his?
EWE. Rated M for later chapters. M/M, adult themes, possible MPREG
I know Harry Potter is controversial right now but this is a really good Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy work that doesn’t give money to JK Rowling. Its 100 chapters and really really good. It’s a beast at 605,095 words, but if you have nothing else to read at the moment this is good to curl up with.
NOTE:These are works that I enjoy, you don’t have to like them. I am open to suggestions but I can be very picky about what I actually enjoy. I have consumed a lot of work, but there are only so many that I would recommend. No hate on any authors work but this is my opinion.
These are some of my fic recs from April 30th, 2022 to May 6th, 2022!

I’d really like to do these every month, so they can be a nice 4-5 fic affair. But grad school happened, so I’ve got a lot of lovely reads from the past several months to share!!
As always, alphabetical by author ft. me yelling under the cut!
Not There Yet by BigFatBumblebee - Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon, Gen, 10k Summary: We all know Obi-Wan Kenobi as the one of the strongest, wisest and bravest Jedi in the Jedi Order. But before he was High General Kenobi, The Negotiator, Council Member and Master of the Chosen One, he was an awkward 16-year-old Padawan who needed a bit of TLC.
The Queen, The Cavalier, and The Dragon by FireflyFish - Fem!Obi-Wan & Padme & Vader, 3.8k Summary: A Queen and her Jedi Knight flee across the galaxy, relentlessly chased by the Dragon they both loved.
Problem Patientby JellyJog - AU Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon, 1.2k Summary: From a tumblr prompt requesting quiobi where Obi-Wan chose to become a healer instead of following the path to become a jedi knight
Six Times Ahsoka Thought Her Grandmaster Was Dead, and the One Time He Actually Wasby LazarusII & Pandora151 - 1.4k, wip Summary: A heavy silence fell over the lower levels of Coruscant’s undercity. Then, a quiet shuffling sound, almost like footsteps, sounded from above.A single blaster bolt rang out—followed by a pained cry. Things were happening too fast; Ahsoka’s heartbeat thundered in her ears, drowning out her surroundings.Her mind barely registered the flash of cream-white careening into the crates directly in front of her. A sickening crunch filled the air as the lifeless form of Obi-Wan Kenobi crashed to the ground. Ahsoka’s heart stopped.
Perception by LuvEwan - Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon & Dooku, Gen, 7.5k Summary: Master and apprentice are held captive. Obi-Wan is drugged, and unable to differentiate the past, present and future. Qui-Gon is a little shocked when rescue comes in the form of a figure from his own past: Dooku. The trip back to Coruscant is full of unexpected moments and emotions.
Candles Against the Sea by maychorian - Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon, Gen, 41k Summary: It is several months after Melida/Daan, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon have been working to re-establish their bond. It’s been going well. Qui-Gon seems perfectly satisfied. But Obi-Wan is not.
The Sun Shall Not Smite Thee by maychorian - Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon, Gen, Summary: It had taken the Jedi far too long to effect a rescue—over a week. By that time Obi-Wan was nearly delirious, on the edge of madness from loneliness and fear caused by his inability to touch the Force.
The Past Remains by otherhawk - Obi-Wan-centric, Gen, 15k Summary: The war drags on leaving trauma and destruction in its wake. After a bereaved Master is accused of harming his padawan, Obi-Wan is sent to talk to her, dredging up memories of his own past.

Protect and Nurture by Ren - Obi-Wan & 212th, Gen, 7k Summary: “What do you mean he was taken by slavers!?” Rex winced, looking over his shoulder to make sure no-one had heard. He was hiding in a dark alleyway, and the last thing he needed was for this hiding spot to be blown by an outraged Commander.When their General is taken by slavers, the 212th is half-way across the galaxy. They must wait and pray that their brothers can get to him in time.
Not There Yet by BigFatBumblebee: This is straight-up sickfic, featuring all the best classic tropes. Looking now it seems like there might be some formatting issues in the desktop version, but I read this on mobile without difficulty. Poor Obi-Wan gets frustrated with the motherhenning of Qui-Gon and Tahl. “Meg, did you find this fic because you were searching through the Tahl tag again?” Sure did. Tahl is the best! I loved her interactions with grumpy, feverish Obi-Wan, and how she and Qui-Gon team up to make sure he takes his medicine and rests up. Very cute, worth the read! <3
The Queen, The Cavalier, and The Dragon by FireflyFish: This is so cool! I’m in love with the fairytale motif. This is a post-mustafar fix-it (sort of) with a focus on Obi and Padme parenting the twins and keeping them safe and trying to teach them their family’s history in a way that they can comprehend. I loved Obi and Padme kicking ass together, Leia was great, and Luke was so freakin’ precious omg <3
Problem Patientby JellyJog: I guess you could say that this one is less about the h/c, and more humor with the halls of healing as a backdrop, but I loved it so I wanted to include it nonetheless! Qui-Gon is such an ass and Obi-Wan is so confident and OVER his shit, it’s just peak QuiObi and I got a lot of laughs out of it. I liked Obi-Wan in the healer role, especially when it’s Qui-Gon he’s patching up. <3
Six Times Ahsoka Thought Her Grandmaster Was Dead, and the One Time He Actually Wasby LazarusII & Pandora151: Ouch! Just ouch! I loved the narrative style that really drove home the horror of this scene, I always expect great things from these authors and I am never ever disappointed!! I’m so excited to see where this goes next! I am NOT ready for it, because I assume they will get sadder and sadder as we move forward in the timeline and Ahsoka gets closer and closer to Obi-Wan. But fine, I didn’t need my heart anyways, go ahead and break it </3
Perception by LuvEwan: This is wonderfully unique! I love the tension between Qui-Gon and Dooku, and how weird it is for everyone involved to see Dooku being soft and caring with Obi-Wan - especially poor Qui-Gon doesn’t know what to make of it. I melted for how worried Qui-Gon got, even though he was trying not to motherhen too much in front of Dooku because he assumed Dooku would disapprove. What a good Jedi Dad. <3
Candles Against the Sea by maychorian: I implore you to check the tags on this one! But if you’re like me, and some of the themes warned for are a “maybe” for you, know that they’re dealt with here very tactfully and, I thought, very believable for Obi-Wan’s character. What I love most about this fic is how it deals with grief, and how it shows Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon and their different approaches to dealing with their pasts. And of course, I’m a sucker for fics that reference the Jedi Apprentice series! <3
The Sun Shall Not Smite Thee by maychorian: Ouch! This is a dark one! Just like the other fic by this author, it takes me back to my livejournal days and the Jedi Apprentice series. I loved how desperate and protective and fatherly Qui-Gon was, and it definitely scratched the itch for straight-up Obi-Wan whump. <3
The Past Remains by otherhawk: Please please please read the tags on this one before diving in! That said, I thought this was a really well-written and touching story, my favorite bit was probably Obi-Wan and Mace’s interactions, and just Obi-Wan with the Council in general because despite being one of them, it’s hard to escape the fact that most of them knew him when he was young too and the past still follows him. What I liked about this was also how messy it is - it’s not a black-and-white situation, and the different characters’ perspectives and conflicting memories are laid out to give the reader sort of an omniscient view of the story. <3
The Orchards by Raven_Knight: I died of cuteness! This is so domestic and fluffy, they’re freakin’ baking together, what more could anyone possibly want from a h/c fic? This one is for those of us who are 100% here for the comfort, not just the hurt. I really loved reading these two getting some downtime, and with all the asshole!Qui-Gon fics in this list, I’m really happy to include one that features Qui being sweet and protective and softly joking with his convalescent Padawan while they bond over apples! <3
Protect and Nurture by Ren: OUCH! This one doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to Obi-Wan and the aftermath of Zygerria. I loved seeing Cody, Rex, and Wolffe and their different reactions to the traumatic scenario. Motherhen!Cody cracks me up! For all that this story has a lot of “hurt”, there’s a lot of the “comfort” part too which is something I really appreciate. <3
Rest by @acollectionofhalftruths - 1k, Gen, complete A Vader and Luke hurt/comfort.
Tumblr Prompts by Anakinstopyourpanakin - various You may have seen these prompt fills before on this blog, but I have to give Leslie a shoutout now that she’s moved them to AO3!
One of These Days by Anonymous - 11k, Gen, wip Summary: “In the middle of the Battle of Christophsis, Anakin and Obi-Wan’s forces are overwhelmed by the Separatists’ droid army, and their rescue ship is shot down. After crashing in the Christophsian wilderness, the Jedi must get themselves and their troops back to the city before the Separatists can catch up to them.”
faintly I’ll go, take this head on by ashintuku - 2k, Gen, complete Summary: “ The first time Rey tried something fresh and crunchy and good, she was in a cantina on a planet more green than she could have ever imagined, and the little treat was crisp on her tongue and a collection of flavours she had no memory of ever experiencing.”
A Place to Rest by lajulie24 - 1.5k, HanLeia, complete From the prompt: “I wish you could write a fic where Han comforts Leia after a bad nightmare that brings her to tears.”
…..pairs nicely with In Your Hands by lajulie24 - also HanLeia, complete In which the roles are reversed and Leia comforts Han as he finally recovers from hibernation sickness, and other wounds of ROTJ
Keep reading for my rambllings!
Rest by acollectionofhalftruths: Look okay, I’m usually verrry wary of Luke & Vader hurt/comfort because some of the really old livejournal fics in this niche were too dark for my taste, or ended in sith!Luke which I don’t go for at all. This is not one of those fics! It’s so sweet and Vader is written both completely in-character but also so gentle and protective of his son, which is amazing, and I love how out of his element he seems, like when poor sick Luke wants to cuddle up to him and he’s kind of like…what? That’s not going to be warm or comfortable for you? But okay I guess?? And everything goes better than expected. Anyways this is short and cute and a very interesting take on these two characters, I loved it a lot!
One of These Days by Anonymous: Obi-Wan to Anakin: “Why do you always get to be the unconscious one?”. This is Anakin whump with a dry, witty humor that puts a big, stupid grin on my face. It’s fantastic in so many ways. Anakin gets Rex and Cody and Coric and especially Obi-Wan so worried about him with his crazy antics and I just love all of them so much! I also love the role swap moments when Anakin starts badgering Obi-Wan about remembering to eat, and it’s just so clear that these two hold each other together in the worst of moments like this. <3
faintly I’ll go, take this head on by ashintuku : Okay, fine this one probably pushes the boundaries of what actually counts as “hurt/comfort” but I loved it too much to leave it out!! It explores the TFA trio and their relationship with food, what they’re used to and what it symbolizes. It’s short, but it’s a character piece and I thought all the characters were really written spot-on, you guys know I don’t like to dabble too much in “baby ben solo” stuff but in this case I thought even he was written well!! My absolute favorite part was Poe’s section, where it talks about how his relationship with food has changed over the years, when he was a kid and Kes taught him how to work magic in the kitchen versus food now when rations are short and everyone is preoccupied with bigger things. The bits about Finn made my heart hurt for him too. I die for this kind of thoughtful character study and this one was perfect!!
A Place to Rest by lajulie24: This is so soft and sweet! They are both characterized so well. Leia is so uncomfortable with vulnerability but they are both growing to trust each other and Han’s kindness is so understated because he’s not a real expressive dude but he cares so much and it shines through. It’s a short little story but it’s so well-written and sweet <3
In Your Hands by lajulie24: This is the perfect complement to the previous rec, which is why I wanted to include them together! This time it’s Han’s turn to be vulnerable and Leia’s turn in the comforting role, and there’s this intimate moment when Leia is worried about Han and suddenly realizes that he’s been worried about her too, and that knowledge brings them closer and it’s just so adorable and thoughtfully played out!
DESCRIPTION: During the week of his father’s funeral, Sirius Black meets an unusual priest and offers to help write Orion Black’s eulogy. At the same time, he’s started texting a mysterious bass player from a pop-punk band that he accidentally swapped phones with. Eventually, the conversations between the two start to blur together and Sirius has trouble trying to decide which one he’s falling for the hardest.
MY COMMENTS: From the moment I opened this fic, I adored it with all my heart. I devoured it in one sitting, it was so addicting I couldn’t put it down until it was the middle of the night and I finally finished. The sexual tension in this fic was FUCKING AMAZING and had me feeling just as frustrated as the characters. And don’t get me started on Priest Remus… I can’t recommend this enough and if you haven’t read this fic yet, I STRONGLY encourage you to run (not walk) to AO3 and read it immediately!!!!!
Summary: It was known across civilizations how dangerous a siren’s song was. They lured men to their untimely fate, could crumble even the strongest of humanity to their feet with their words, snap their bones and tear at their souls.
A/N: Hotch is handsome. That’s it. That’s the story. JK, this is the first in a series of blurbs about Reader and Hotch - and their disclosures about attraction/relationship, I’m not sure tbh. This first one is gender neutral, but not sure about the rest - if there’s smut, I can’t make any promises.
————————————————-
They watch through the one-sided mirror as Hotch enters the room, where Emily has been interrogating the UnSub for the better part of three hours. He makes his way over to the table where the two women are verbally sparring, taking a seat, sitting up in his chair in a way that makes him look even bigger than his six-foot-two frame. He inserts himself into the conversation and he and Emily play off of each other, a practiced act - so easy, so natural, it’s a dance at this point. But the UnSub doesn’t budge. Instead, she turns her attention to Hotch, in a way so many women do. Her speech becomes a little slower, her gaze a little more seductive. Prentiss catches it before he does, and bows out of the interview so slowly and seamlessly, it’s almost as if she was never there to begin with.
