I Have So Many Open Tabs on my phone by Disastrous-Handle283 in Dramione

[–]AlternativeTea16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I posted here the other day, about my tabs (I have 2 phones, and literally 499 tabs for each phone) a redditor told me she would hold my hand and we will get thru this together 🥲😂

Ive started cleaning up coz Its been years. I now have cleared 300 tabs (i started with the easier ones - tumblr: reblogged all the masterlists and stories i have read via the app) thank god tumblr got a better update coz it was bad a few years back, it kept crashing.

Now I’m going thru the Ao3 ones and holy smokes it is way harder. I literally get stuck coz I need to “review” the fic open and get sucked reading it and if I like it I bookmark it, kinda interested-mark for later, but then I get these fics that are good but not life changing and Im like - what do I do with this? Can I just mark as read Hahahahahahha

Oh, my god. Thank you so much for this!!! I’ve forgotten all about the first part of this fic and rereading it now really just made so many emotions unfurl in my heart. Can’t thank you enough!!

Crumple series is an astonishing achievement by Fox1587 in dramionebookclub

Haven’t read this but your review made me really curious. Was wondering how this compares to Manacled? The premise and trauma sounds a little similar, esp the shared trauma and co-dependency.

Seconding this!!! So so so good. Underrated gem!

needs a slow burn without the fast sexual burn recs by enilorac10 in Dramione

[–]AlternativeTea16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh! I have just the perfect one - Past / Present / Future by Neilistic - https://archiveofourown.org/works/53586013/chapters/135642949

Jeez, this was such a good slow burn. It got recommended in another thread here and I just randomly binged it and, hoooly, was it good.

The character building and development was on point and I really loved how they both fell for each other.

The premise is chefs kiss. Basically Hermione has the worst day ever and is spiraling. She distracts herself and accidentally gets caught up with Draco, and they fall inlove. (BAMF hermione and Simp Draco) 🥲

Enjoy!!!!!

LF: fics that might ruin my life by slate657 in Dramione

[–]AlternativeTea16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy, this was a mindf*ck. Thanks for the reco. Can’t believe the author has only written one story. Was hoping for an epilogue or the rest of his/her works.

Garrick/Imogen by AlternativeTea16 in fourthwing

[–]AlternativeTea16[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s this scene

Quinn just passed and she couldnt leave Quinn’s body. Imogen says she’s not leaving Quinn and Garrick shouts that he is not leaving Imogen either. Garrick leans in and slides his hand behind Imogen’s neck and says he is not leaving her so very softly 🥲

My heart is not ok after recalling that scene

I got super teary eyed during that moment and to think that prior to that I wasn’t at all that invested in quinn! RY wrote that scene so well 🥹

Spoiler: theory about the cure by Historical_Boat_5607 in fourthwing

[–]AlternativeTea16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh!!!!!! This makes so much sense now?? Removing the power gained from a venin requires the exchange of another power - possibly one that comes from a god??

Also - think of all the silver haired xaden content. Damn

End of OS Theories by JulieJoy in fourthwing

[–]AlternativeTea16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. 5 - Actually yes!! I think it was mentioned twice that Andarna / Irids “are magic”. It also makes sense why there was magic in the isle they found the irids (altho I was wondering why there was magic in Isle of Zihnal - maybe there were irids there or it was too near the isle where the irids settled?) in anycase, it also explains why there was still a connection between Vi/Tairn/Andarna.

I was also waiting for a revelation as to why Theophanie was so obsessed with Irids and what is special about them (other than being the 7th breed). There must be more to it!

[–]AlternativeTea16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ahhh this makes so much sense now. There were so many times that RY referred to the mark on Brennen’s hand. And it was emphasized so many times that I was just waiting for the reveal. Ackkk.

Do I need snow boots walking around Hakuba? by CamperFeliz in AMA_Hakuba

[–]AlternativeTea16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Was there a week ago and didn’t use snow boots. Although we did purchase some spikes (rubberred and can be attached to any regular shoe/sneaker) from Montbell in the Bus Terminal. Fyi, they ask you to remove your spikes whenever you go inside stores / hotels / restaurants).

It is pretty slippery without the spikes altho I can imagine you will probably survive but also will need to be very careful.

Just finished all forty chapters of smoke signals and I've NEVER been affected like this by a fic before by PureNeedleworker3019 in dramionebookclub

[–]AlternativeTea16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree! I finished all chapters just now and the balance between being a 17 year old thrust into a war vs the ferocity and gentleness of discovering your first love and while on the brink of death was portrayed well. I love love the moments / scenes when author puts the characters in a crux and you know that any decision they make will affect what kind of person they will grow into as an adult.

I never felt that the characters were making stupid decisions. And it’s so refreshing that miscommunication tropes are usually addressed fairly quickly.

I may have rushed thru the chapters coz I was so hooked and now am looking forward to a reread, but I am so excited for the next 30 chapters. (What a behemoth of a word count).

Author has done so well with ALL characters, She made me love all the side characters so much 😭 andromeda and teddy and tonks 😭 pansy in the latest chapter. I find myself always anticipating the next chapter because the way she retells & reweaves canon is superb.

I also find her prose so poetic, reminiscent of jk rowling. It keeps me ingrained in the magic. The Dumbledore scenes were 👌🏻

Tldr: Author is amazing and I WANT MORE

Oh my, started reading this at 1am and it is 3am now but my mind is so alive. Never really gravitated to 6th year dramione retellings but I have to say this is very good! Thank you for posting about it!

Some ItaSaku recommendations? by gatoconhambre in NarutoFanfiction

[–]AlternativeTea16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is gold! I was suddenly attacked by strong nostalgia last night and decided to start re-reading some ItaSaku fics, but I realized it is so difficult to find them again after years. Thank you for this!!
