Hidden-by-a-trench-coat - It's Me, Hi

The Fallen Shepherd, saving his flock at all costs.

someone said one (1) funny joke in the discord and I ran away with it immediately.

I'm sure someone's thought of this before and maybe even done something with it, but I've had this idea in my docs and want to share - just about the possibility of an AU where the OUAW crew don't turn in Torbek for whatever reason - maybe they just don't do it in time or they just get super distracted by something or other and forget - and Frost ends up taking his place...

Just pondering about how differently things could have gone, how Frost would have dealt with it as opposed to Torbek. He'd probably handle it a lot better (though there is the very interesting possibility of if he didn't handle it any better) and maybe he'd even learn about the witchlight during the process

It could be kind of funny if he came back wayyyyy sooner than expected because of the way the time slowed and he just managed to finish the entire quest on his own before they even got into the feywild

Butttt, there's also the interesting possibility of that not happening and the crew find him disheveled and affected by the witchlight, perhaps more feral than before. Maybe the first indication is the way his eyes glow pink. Maybe they'd attach the witchlight differently, idk, I haven't thought that far. Maybe he'd be more distant than before, maybe he'd be more clingy. Maybe the witchlight affects him all the same and he attacks them (maybe he knows that he's attacking them but he can't do anything to stop it and he just has to watch), Gricko having to try and tame him like some kind of wild animal - I feel like there are many possibilities and they're all interesting.

Maybe I'll write something about this one day, but I don't know if I could do it justice - but hey, there are some thoughts!

Happy Birthday @pekoposting!

Fun fact: Peko's english voice actor's birthday is 4/4, so you're one day after her!

Rewatching episode 20 of Icebound for research purposes and absolutely crying at Ket trying to teach Skrimm how to pump his fist

I’M NOT DOING ANYTHING AT ALL!!!

Hope you're doing better, but if you're still looking for some good fics, here's some of my favorites from various longforms (that aren't depressing and might cheer you up- Apologies, a lot more of these were Christmas based than I realized- I was reading a lot of fics last month)

All of these come from AO3 by the way- I forgot to mention that

"Christmas Miracle" by Ailendolin (Kind of a crossover of a lot of different plays, mainly Divorces and Teddy Bears, but the second main focus is The Neighbor's Under The Bed) - You've gotta have an AO3 account to read it, and it's got a few sad moments, but I absolutely loved it. The North Pole gets a letter from Janae wishing himself and his brother a better family and they (being Snowdrop and Mr. and Mrs. Claus) try their best to oblige, with a few issues. It's a bit sad but it's got a happy enough ending if you're willing to read through it

There's a lot of Christmas related fluff ones for Inside The Mysterious Cube, so here's a quick list of a few of those that might be nice (A bit out of season, I know, but hey, they're fluffy): "The Joy of Christmas" by RiverBecca, "’Tis the Season" by drownedscribe, and "Their First Ornament" by fullsetandlots

Here's some nice Ditch/The Unrelenting Aubergine fics: "Drink some of this, it'll put color in your cheeks" (in which Titch is out in the snow a little too long and Derek finds him) and "Roadtrip!" (in which they go on a roadtrip) both by an Anonymous user, "Movie Night" by onyxdragonfruit (short and sweet, they have a movie night), "why don't we go where the weather is warm (and we'll finally feel at home)" by seawall (I don't remember this one well, but it's short and sweet so there's that)

And here's one for Lost In Your Eyes: "I See Forever In Your Eyes" by Han_eliza123 which is about Amanda giving Tarquin an early Christmas present (again, out of season but, hey, whatever)

One for The Milkman: "tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow…" by Kilimili is currently incomplete, but I've quite enjoyed it so far which follows Jim/Mr. Steven as he joins in on Hank (Fanon name for the bartender) and Gareth's relationship. Not fluff focused, necessarily, but good vibes overall

And that's all the ones I've read that aren't angsty-

And, just cause they fit the prompt and I know them well enough, here's some of my own (Shadowclaw756) if any of them fit your fancy: "Hugs" (A Ditch fic in which Titch wants and gets some hugs from Derek), "Informal Proposal" (In which Titch decides to propose out of pretty much nowhere), and "Even the Worst Gifts are Made With Love" (Tarquin and Amanda celebrate Christmas together and give each other gifts they think aren't good enough, but they are!)

Sorry that was kind of a lot! If you need any of the links to any of these fics let me know and I can send them, I hope this helped 💜

Hi Emu, thank you for everything you do re: info on sfth and especially the fic masterlist!

I'm a bit trapped in a fog of stress at the moment, so I'm wondering if you have any fic recs for feeling better after a bad day?

(there's a pun here... Pick me ups -> fic me ups?)

- Calim :)

Hi there Calim!! :))

thank you so much for saying that I really appreciate it <33 /gen

I mostly read angst honestly so I’m not sure how much help I’ll be with fic me ups lol (I love the pun btw) but if people want to reblog this with recs/plugs for fics like this that would be awesome!! :) I also just honestly have not been able to read that many fics recently as I’ve been very busy (but I really want to!!!) We have very talented writers in this fandom :]

I hope that you’re doing okay <3333 the stress will pass one day- even if it feels like it won’t it will get better. I’m sorry I don’t have any fic recs of my own!!! Hopefully people can put some in the reblogs <33

The Inferno.

I don’t know why I’ve never questioned it before now but… what’s going on in the thumbnail for Lost In Your Eyes??? Like what is that explosion off to the right there for??? There’s literally no explosions in the entire play as far as I can recall???
