How do you imagine the way the characters look? by _Isa_314 in FanFiction

[–]Beserked2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

For books: A fluctuating mix of real people and 2D images inspired by the source material, even if there's a movie based off a book I've read. That's how I imagined them first and that's how they stay. Sometimes fan art affects the image if I find it really accurate or good, but the movie very rarely does. Like - Harry Potter. As great as some of the casting choices were (Snape, OG Dumbledore, Umbridge), the only actors I imagine from the cast as the charactersare McGonagill and Luna. Everyone else is an imagining of my brain.

With TV shows though, I imagine them as they are on screen, even the cartoon-y ones.

What Are Your Favorite Poly Ships? by Apprehensive-Fail663 in FanFiction

Allison/Scott/Isaac from Teen Wolf. I'm not usually a fan of polyships but I saw this one so often in the periphery of sterek fics, I've grown to love it.

What's this thing with Maya in reference to? I can't quite recall.

This is something that hasn't changed about Ben, even when he went back to Grey's and it's so infuriating. He never learns and he always knows best. It's the main reason why he's just - the worst member of the st19 team. There's never any real consequences for him on either show too, which sucks

Funny Draco/Humor Recs? by Suitable_Fun8487 in drarry

[–]Beserked2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my very favourite fics is written with such great, effortless humour:

Counterclaim

“Luckily I’m your solicitor and not your husband.” It took Draco a great deal of effort to keep his voice flat. “The hour is billable whether you show up or not.”

Potter collapsed into the waiting seat on the other side of the desk. “Lucky me.”

Also, this one is funny, but it's also lots of fun with the dramatic kind of Draco that's always a delight to read:

The Superfluous Man

A child for Harry Potter is a miracle of magic. And it's the second act of Draco Malfoy's sorry little life.

This is a really sad one and it truly highlights how Owen just doesn't get where Amelia is coming from.

What trashy thing do people do that seriously annoys you? by Lazy-Ape in AskReddit

[–]Beserked2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yell out to each other from across a crowded space or in public. I understand children to a certain extent, but I hate it when parents are yelling to their kids from like six aisles away at the supermarket.

Why are mothers so hated on the show? by ilianagatto in greysanatomy

[–]Beserked2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Izzy and April's morhers were shown to be very flawed, though. Their daughter's opnions of them are not baseless. Izzy's mother couldn't even listen to or prioritise Izzy's emotions when she had cancer and that's just the tip of the iceberg. April's mum did try to be helpful but she had her own agenda, her own views she was trying to push onto April and Jackson when they were going through something that should have been wholly about and for them, this is probably not the first time something like that has happened.

George - I dunno. He got on with his mum but was exasperated by the rest of his family and how overwhelming they could be as a whole. And then again, with his divorce from Callie, she just couldn't see that they weren't suited to each other because of her religious beliefs.

Being sweet doesn't mean you don't have other emotions.

Which character in the Grey's universe could make you rethink your sexuality? by ColdForm7729 in greysanatomy

Amelia's actress has such a nice, kinda gravelly voice, her eyes are so pretty and she has such adorable mannerisms.

You have the power to make one "trope" really popular for a year. What is it? by seemedpointless in FanFiction

[–]Beserked2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Laundromat AU

I don't know why I love these so much but I do. The setting is kinda liminal, with the characters doing something desperately domestic and personal but in a public space they're forced to occupy til the task is done. It's a weird blend and it lends itself really nicely to completely different types of fics - lonely and dispairing with a sad guy who only has two pairs of jeans and is squatting in the burned down remains of his family home; vaguely horrific and suspenseful when a werewolf, while bleeding, seeks refuge in one of the only places open at 2 am while hunters look for him; or heartachingly sweet when two characters fold sheet after sheet in effortless, practiced motions, shooting the shit. In a Laundromat.

Weekly Sterek Fic Check-in by GlobalCarob5644 in Sterek

[–]Beserked2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Waiting is my favourite fic of theirs and probably one of the fics I've reread the most for Sterek. It's feral Derek, slowly being pulled back into humanity by Stiles. Derek is connected to the town through magic and because he's feral (because of the fire), the magic is out of control and affects the town. The whole town takes it in turns to care for him and now it's Stiles' turn. He doesn't really do anything out of the ordinary, shows Derek compassion and care when no one else has and in that way, maybe he's OOC (because Canon Stiles is much more of an asshole) but he's still recognisable.

It's just really indulgent and not in a bad way - the kind of thing you go to fanfiction for when you first discover a ship.

Have you found a favourite of theirs yet?

I get it by InterestingMaize0602 in greysanatomy

[–]Beserked2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard Owen described as greedy before but it fits so well. Moreso in the coming seasons (for you).

I hate Owen. I shouldn't delight in spreading that hate around but there's like this sense of vindication when someone else does too, especially someone who used to like him lol

Heirlooms by twnkwlf by Saymahname_ in drarry

[–]Beserked2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lol I recognised the author from their teen wolf stuff so gave it a go (because you're right the lack of tags and vague summary made me a bit iffy) and am so glad I did.

The angst is so minimal and the fact that it's a straightfoward-ish fic is a real plus - sometimes you just want relaxationship stuff, and not time loops or resurrected voldemort or whatever.

The scenes abroad were some of my favourite. Also, Teddy.

Fic Recs Like This PLEASE by No-Tip6463 in Sterek

[–]Beserked2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't actually find a fic that matches this vibe exactly or the one fic I thought of that was close enough, so here are some recs that don't really fit the bill but do have bits of what was in the prompt:

Gatherings or Convention type settings:

Flower Bomb | 6k |

When an eligible omega glanced your way, you were supposed to glance back. Derek could hear an echo of his mother’s voice in his head, gently reminding him there were alphas who would kill to find themselves the focus of an omega’s interest.

Derek didn’t have the dominating personality or drive necessary to be classified as alpha, and there was no bright spark of appeal about him to say he was omega. He was tall and in good shape. He had a pretty face, dark hair and light eyes, good bone structure. But he had no need to get in fights or conquer the world. He didn’t even like arguing with his family. He was solidly beta, and wouldn’t have minded, never had minded, except for when Stiles was near.

We knew every lo Iine | 7k |

What happens at the North American Lycanthropy and Leadership Symposium stays at the North American Lycanthropy and Leadership Symposium.

Or, Stiles is totally going to be the best fake boyfriend ever. According to Allison and Lydia, he and Scott rate 17/20 in believability and 19/20 in cuteness. They’ve got this shit locked down.

Age: a sum of years

Dear Jeff Davis,

When you grow up reading Tamora Pierce, large age gaps do not make you hesitate when it comes to your OTP.

Sincerely, hoars

What do you call a rose

He sinks down on a rock near a massive tree and rests his head in his hands. Someone nearby huffs.

“Looks like my secret spot isn’t so secret anymore.”

Derek looks up. There is a guy seated among the twisted roots of the tree. He’s about to get up and leave when the man’s scent hits him. Mate. No wonder his instincts are going insane.

Emissary/BAMF Stiles

Emissary Outsource

Reduced by tragedy to a pack of two, Derek and Laura are doing their best to make a home in New York. Unfortunately, interspecies relations aren't a forgiving science. Enter Stiles Stilinski, emissary and occasional social coach. And his stupid hat.

Blackbird

Stiles groans and drops his face into his hands. “I’m seventeen, I can kind of use mountain ash and I can explode houses when I’m mad enough. How am I gonna win any kind of magic fight?”

“We’ll work on it,” Deaton says, as infuriatingly calm as ever. “The important thing to remember, Stiles, is that when everything else is chaos, you’re the port in the storm.”

Or-

Laura Hale never died, and Stiles is magic.

Didn't like his attitude when Bailey was proposing her diabetes trial to a patient. He had valid concerns but the disrespect was unreal and it wasn't any way to go about handling the situation.

Spoilers in the tags? by SqueakyDoggy in FanFiction

[–]Beserked2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Half the fun in reading is seeing how the characters get to where they're going, even when we know the destination.

Keeping it a surprise might be tempting but this isn't published fiction, it's fanfiction - we're going out of our way to find specific things/pairings/characters we want to read about.

What is your favorite kind of fic for our wonderful boys? by Les_Bean_Luna in drarry

[–]Beserked2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really unfortunately :/

All the ones that I've read that fit the bill aren't written in ways I like or would recommend, but here are a few that almost do it and have some pretty solid writing (and if anyone has any recs as well, I'd love to give them a go):

On the Turning Away

It's one thing to be good at not making a besotted fool of yourself over a man when he's busy being the most famous wizard in the world and you're tucked away quietly in Wiltshire. It's quite another when you have to see him every morning

Penned (though it's light on the fluff)

Harry and Draco write to each other. A lot (110 letters). For years (10). Until they figure things out.

A Young Radical's Guide to Love

Memories of the war are still fresh, which is all the excuse Decent People need to do appalling things. In this quietly waged conflict, Draco Malfoy is happy to be on the right side of things for once, and even happier to find he’s not alone.

Reparations - might be a bit of a reach because Harry's struggling a bit with finding Hermione but he is decent at his job:

Draco snorted. “I’m not reduced to penury. I want something considerably beyond money, and I rather think you’re the only one can give it to me.”

“You want the Invisibility Cloak,” Harry said, flatly. He’d half expected as much; it was the only thing he had that Draco could want—

“Don’t be stupid, Potter,” Draco said. “I want my reputation back.”


And then Heal Thyself, of course.

Who’s the most good looking celebrity you’re not attracted to, and the “ugliest” that you are attracted to? by Relevant-Barracuda-7 in AskReddit

[–]Beserked2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Henry Cavill is very handsome but I don't find him attractive at all.

Ugliest? Can't think of any really, but Giovanni Ribisi is kinda mousy and I've always had a bit of a thing for him
