1 genre? good fucking question

2 stares at 80k of a document........... actually ok so far as unpoasted one goes from the latest chapter i think this oen was good

"But he is not brave, justice is only a close friend, and compassion wouldn’t help him here even if he had any. Truth sits in the back of his throat, useless and cold."

3 you ask for theme song as if i haven't like. made several playlists. anyway now by joywave is An Mood and im going with that one

been thinking a lot about that "i'm writing fic" "no that's the genre what are you writing ABOUT" post and subsequently themes for my fics so here's all my major fics focusing on their themes / explaining them to someone w/ no familiarity with the fandom

24.8 / artificial aegis project / soup

It’s about surviving abuse long enough that you can escape it, with a side of murdering your abuser, and also the kind of friendships that are forged in surviving the same abuser when you can only trust each other and no one else.

B plot of four scientists being imprisoned and forced by the government to create artificial intelligence to be used as a superweapon and their struggles in realizing they are doing the wrong thing and trying to get away with doing the right thing even though they are under threat of death, ft the grief of losing a child and terrible coping skills, because who can possibly be prepared to cope healthily with sudden house arrest after your child was murdered.

 

YWKON

Vignettes about people caught in an oppressive system that is built inherently into the world’s magic system; surviving it, fighting back against it, freeing themselves from it. In the end culminates in the plot it was building up to: talking a well intentioned extremist down from uselessly destroying himself to undo the unjust system—and then bullying the answer for how to fix the system out of god.

With a side of focus on the love between siblings, the struggles of living after surviving trauma, learning that your worth is not determined by whether or not you are a successful super weapon for a country at war.

 

dywc

Crossover series that’s set out to explore how characters from different worlds play off each other when forced to work together towards a common goal. Comparing and contrasting similar characters, watching their needs merge and clash. With a dash of exploring healthy coping mechanisms post trauma, being realistic about boundaries, and reuniting with long lost loved ones when you didn’t have the chance to through normal means, and getting to say to them things that you didn’t get to say before.

 

FtPverse

An abuse survivor learns that what he went through was deeply fucked up, that he deserves better, and also that he inherently deserves love and has worth on the sole basis that he is a Living Being. Or as the tagline says: its about living, choosing to live, even when living seems like it’s the hardest thing anyone’s asked of you. It’s about learning the purpose you were created for doesn’t define you. It’s about learning that the only thing that defines you is you and your own choices.

It’s also about a war, though it’s less about the war itself and more about living in the war, the quiet nights and moments in between battles, and its’ about living after the war, coming to terms with the scars in your soul and carving out the rest you need, finding what normal looks like for you when the war is over.

With A Side Of Learning To Be Comfortable In Your Own Skin Again After Being Brainwashed And Nearly Killing Your Best Friend, Whoops. (This is almost definitely not about the character you think it is unless we’ve spoken about this before!)

 

 

ykwon2

About your crazy ex from a previous lifetime deciding the best way to contact you is by kidnapping your son?? Exploring that things are not clear cut, black and white, and that there is always, always, a lot of grey. Explores the lengths some might go to to help and protect their family. And Also Going On Adventures When You Aren’t Neurotypical And The Journey Is Kind Of Shit On Your Mental Health.

 

Timeloop

About refusing to accept sacrifices as the only answer. About doing things over until you are satisfied with the result, about having the power to do so, versus the exhaustion that comes with literally rewriting the fabric of time itself. About compromising with a grieving mad child god. About him seeing sense before he’s quite all the way off the deep end. About the different choices one makes when they know what the ending looks like, versus when they have no idea at all.

 

25 lives

About two souls bound across lifetimes because the god who created the world loved his wife so much he accidentally cursed the world to reincarnate her forever. About all the different ways they can meet in, or not meet in. It’s about yearning for someone you go four hundred years without seeing even though you don’t know their name. It’s about the grief you carry from lifetimes you can’t remember.

And most of all, it’s about trust earned and trust freely given because a relationship is as much about putting in the time to make your partner feel safe and respected around you as it is the falling in love part.

if it looks weird also view it in my journal skin instead of the site skin.... dw updated how site skin looks and fucked everything up lol

> jade pretends to like trashy romance novels, but he loathes them. it's not too bad pretending he likes them for the same reason anna does, though, which is: anna thinks all the really bad sex scenes are hilarious

> klaus and galea and myyah all have some fucking wild tastes in media, leaning towards sci-fi bullshit. the more absurd it is the better. probably are all sluts for media that explores hella fucked up themes. you can tempt myyah with a cute lesbian romance though.

> as Technically God i'm allowed to say ywkon isn't as starved for lgbt media as our world is. myyah will refuse to read something if it's a straight romance, with a few exceptions.

> xenogears exists as a book in this universe. myyah adores it. citan adores it. myyah hates that citan adores it. jade hates it because citan adores it.

> further: xenogears is one of myyah's hetexceptions. granted, i make the canon here, so i can say book xenogears goes the bart/fei/elly ot3 route and no one can tell me i'm wrong, so maybe that gives it a few points in myyah's favor

> WHILE I'M HERE: she deadass changed her name to miang later because of the character in this book named miang. that's my story, i'm sticking too it.

> also Mother 3 is a book that exists in this universe because I said so, and it is Myyah's favorite book in fucking forever. "rar why does this matter?" Oh You Know

> robert jordan's wheel of time series exist becuase, like, whatever. anna and klaus have both read it (there's a line in the fic about that actually). it's exactly the kind of bullshit i can see klaus liking (reincarnation, entitled predestined heroes, and so on) and idk how anna got through it other than hyperfocus and determination. it would be up myyah's alley if it wasn't grossly straight all the time.

> ALSO HEY IT'S FUNNY IF IT'S JSUT STRAIGHT UP VANILLA WHEEL OF TIME BUT IMAGINE WHEEL OF TIME WRITTEN BY A GUY WHO LIVES IN A WORLD WHERE BLADES EXIST. WAS THE WARDER/AES SEDAI THING JUST A RIP-OFF RESONANCE BOND W/ NO BLADES OR DO YOU THINK BLADES EXIST IN THIS VERSION OF WOT. IT'S INCREDIBLE EITHER WAY I THINK!

> anna and myyah are dating but have an agreement that's just "i don't mind if you fuck galea should the opportunity present itself" "and similarly i don't mind if you fuck klaus should you get the chance" "am i allowed to fuck galea too" "yes"

> so, they've all fucked each other at least once, except klaus and myyah, because myyah's too lesbian for that

> jade hasn't fucked anyone because To Be Sad On Main: he doesn't feel like he's in a safe enough environment to pursue that. I MEAN I WASN'T GETTING THE VIBES FROM HIM THAT HE WAS INTERESTED AT ALL BUT I'M BLAMING IT ON CITAN BEFORE I MAKE ANY CALLS ABOUT JADE'S SEXUALITY BECAUSE TRAUMA'S A BITCH

> after house arrest most of the sex becomes "please i need a distraction from This Bullshit" which means it's more desperate than it is great but they all gotta cope somehow
