BG3: Glad Tidings by partingxshot

Fandom: Baldur's Gate 3
Pairings/Characters: Wyll/Astarion
Rating: T
Length: 25,638
Creator Links: [archiveofourown.org profile] partingxshot
Theme: Amnesty, Black Characters, Characters of Colour, Character Development, Established Relationship, Family, Just Plain Fun, Marriage, Outsider POV, Politics, Post-Canon, Unconventional Format & Style, Working Together

Summary: You are ULDER RAVENGARD.

Your son is completely besotted with his fiancé, but you can’t figure out the appeal. He’s spoiled, and petty, and seems chiefly concerned with draining the Ravengard coffers. You are, frankly, at your wits’ fucking end.

Surely the only solution is to declare an INSANE SECRET WAR on him before he can ruin the MIDWINTER'S EVE BALL. This cannot possibly backfire.

[A choose-your-own-adventure Astarion son-in-law simulator. Happy Holidays! Or possibly the opposite of that.]

Reccer's Notes: This is just so much fun 😄 The notion of how Astarion would fit in at Wyll's childhood home is a common topic for Wyllstarions, and this is such a fun take on it!! It's remarkably coherent no matter which paths you take, and there are so many fun running jokes or weird endings to find! (And also, if you enjoy the writing style... Might I have a particular webcomic called Homestuck to recommend? Because it was very clearly an inspiration :D)

Blackadder: General Relativity by Nomad

Fandom: Blackadder Goes Forth
Pairings/Characters: Blackadder/Darling
Rating: T
Length: 20,605
Creator Links: [archiveofourown.org profile] nomadicwriter
Theme: Amnesty, Casefic, Cuddling Snuggling & Bed-Sharing, Enemies to Lovers, Enemies Working Together, Forced Proximity, Historical Settings, Just Plain Fun, Old Fandoms, Rare Pairings, Pretend Couple, Small Fandoms, Time Travel, Uncommon Settings, Undercover as a Couple

Summary: Darling's remarkable resemblance to French traitor the Duc de Darling - no relation - sees him unwillingly sent to infiltrate a German-occupied château. Blackadder accompanies him even less willingly, especially when he learns exactly what it is they're looking for.

(Baldrick is also there, but no one bothered to find out if it was willingly or otherwise.)

Reccer's Notes: This is just so fucking good. It has been an age since I last watched Blackadder but this fic brought me all the way back immediately: the character voices are just chef's kiss! It really feels like it could've been a special episode, except with added totally in-character shippiness! 10/10, perfect characterisation, perfect dynamics, perfect silliness, no notes ❤️

(no subject)

I watched the episode of Legends of Tomorrow where Mick gets brain surgery by a physicist because Stein cannot handle talking him down, and the crew just lets them.
That's a different sort of messed up than the usual run around, you know?
Season 2 is rough on Mick being treated like a person.
Also he is having a bit of a same room different genre problem due to the Horrors.
And mostly the others haven't noticed.

The chip in Mick's brain seems like entire depths of Horrors that the story skimmed right past.
I do like that Stein apologised for forgetting about the Chronos thing but it isn't kind that they're forgetting about the Chronos thing.
Except for how it leaves them treating him like Mick, not the puppet bad guy.
... treating him like Mick doesn't involve a lot of respect though.

Going from Mick offering Ray partnership to exploding the gun and Ray being new besties with Nate is just
yowch
even though it is good story. Like that happens sometimes, people don't fit when they're trying and do click when they're not expecting it.

The thing with George Lucas being why two of them are heroes is... possibly more fun to film makers? Like culture matters but having it boil down to one film each is a little simplifying. But leaves them with plenty of fun references to do.

I think maybe I wasn't in a Legends headspace because the run around seemed too silly and the Horrors too real.



Also this week I am poking Ao3 for Constantine fic and... so so much fic, so many confusing canons, all in a soup. Not sure what I'm even looking for.

Well, I am looking for the episodes of the actual TV show, but I am getting them wrapped for xmas so until then I don't even know if I'll like those. The Horrors without the Legends will be a very different viewing experience, if that's what it's like.



I am not getting much done even with a chart to remind me to Actually Read Watch Listen Play A Thing.

December is not my favourite.
