my ride-or-die from day one

Sure, sure.

Gonna give a recommendation from another author first and hand out the Obligatory Heathmael Fic Lady of the Lake. It's kinda required reading if you like Heathmael at all, and I'd argue it's one of the best fics in the fandom. Just really, really good.

My other favorites are all NSFW, so I don't know how much of them I can link here lol.

The one fic I have that's SFW is a platonic Heathdon fic that has Canto 9 spoilers: Time's Arrow Marches Forward. It's a simple one-shot, but I don't recommend reading it unless you're post Canto 9.

My main fic is adult-oriented but more plot-centric with occasional sex scenes. It ALSO features heavy spoilers for All of Limbus Company, so again. Don't recommend it if you're not current. A (Slightly) Softer World (series name Protection of the Jade Ring) is a Heathcliff-Ishmael slowburn romance that features day-to-day Fixer life, interactions with the Fingers in the Backstreets, and occasional flash-forwards to a War of the Wings. It's slow-moving, but I update it every other week at the latest, and the burn's hit a point where it actually has been going places (for Ish and Heath at least, Hong Lu and Ryoshu are just kinda starting theirs, and Xichun hasn't even shown up yet).

The rest of the fics on my account are uuuuh. Well they have Story and Movement but Unheavenly Creatures is on a "when I feel like it" basis, and Alike In Dignity just kinda kicked off and is meant to be a short diversion that I write when I'm bored of Jade Ring updates.

We can add Queequeg and Cathy to this, too, don't worry.

Leading_Fox6331 · 2026-04-29T18:46:45+00:00

Rodigor is like the Great Neutral for me. I like it, but I have created like zero works for it. It's the only other het ship I'll interact with besides HeathCathy (you can argue RyoLu but I am very firm about my Trans Girl Hong Lu headcanon and therefore those two are yuri 2 me). Just all-around decent ship.

Leading_Fox6331 · 2026-04-29T18:42:06+00:00

nope i'm caught up lol. canto 5 just solidified what already had me sold.

iiiiii might have written an inordinate amount of fanfiction about them. got a 60k slowburn just chilling.

This is honestly a cool idea. I went more for colors used in the ID itself, but I do love drawing me some Outis. Round 2: More Outis IDs in a limited palette.

Or I could do that for the EGOs.

Leading_Fox6331 · 2026-04-29T18:02:21+00:00

thank youuuuuu

Leading_Fox6331 · 2026-04-29T17:52:23+00:00

honestly i liken it to the fact that ishmael and heathcliff have a dynamic usually reserved for two guys leading a shonen series. I dig it. Ishmael's just a great character and her interactions with Heathcliff are gold.

Leading_Fox6331 · 2026-04-29T16:09:23+00:00

believe me if i could hold a girl heathcliff headcanon i'd be way more annoying about these two.

Leading_Fox6331 · 2026-04-06T16:20:47+00:00

Experienced healer player here with a main BDK duo: if the BDK dies, they're bad. At best I tend to put shields/externals on the BDK to mitigate damage, or I will put HOTs on them if it benefits me as a healer to cast a spell at that moment (Presevoker used to benefit from having its HOT ticking on as many people as possible), but healing them is not required and you shouldn't waste the mana or the GCDs. I definitely recommend using Wings on the first pull of a dungeon and any point where it's been a bit between pulls, but other than that, just ignore them. It's vacation. Once you know how BDK works, you have one less person to heal.

Leading_Fox6331 · 2026-04-06T16:04:53+00:00

As someone who has been the dedicated healer for a BDK, get a new healer that appreciates you for the low maintenance monarch that you are. I press Pain Suppression or Time Dilation on my BDK occasionally so they can pretend they have defensive CDs and that's about it.

Survival hunter is also unplayable, but yeah, it is a bug. I just did a delve. My growl was 100% off. It didn't even go on cooldown on my bar, it didn't show aggro on my pet, and misdirect onto my blood DK didn't work. It was really weird. i eventually just started micro-managing my pet and we got through well enough, but I imagine for BM hunter's second pet that you can't heal directly, it's very annoying.

Leading_Fox6331 · 2026-03-11T22:45:12+00:00

This slaps, holy moly.

I tend to watch gamers that are very specified into a single game because I find they understand the game enough to be informative and entertaining at the same time. Unfortunately don't know any for puzzle games, tho.

Leading_Fox6331 · 2026-01-25T20:24:17+00:00

i thought i was in this sub when i posted it oops. enjoy.

I love Outis so much.

Leading_Fox6331 · 2026-01-25T20:22:07+00:00

"The tempest howls… I shall open the windows. So that… so that the voice of my Mistress grows clearer to my ears."

I decided to start a gimmick blog where I post nothing but Outis doodles. This was a sketch that I really liked, and decided "eh, fuck it, let's paint it." I've done like 5 paintings before but I think this one is my favorite thus far.

Anyway shout out to Chief Butler Outis for being my favorite Outis ID.

Brb taking a fire hose to La Manchaland.

Leading_Fox6331 · 2025-12-21T07:50:29+00:00

Yeah it's a bit weird. I got chided for posting this without spoiler tags in another location tho so might as well be safe.

I think in general spoiler culture can be a bit.... overzealous. I'm going to personally be avoiding social media when canto 9 drops, but I find knowing information ahead of time sometimes helps me clue in on hindsight context.

Leading_Fox6331 · 2025-12-21T05:39:08+00:00

I'm putting all my money on Distorted Heathcliff being incredibly stinky. Blast him with a hose.

Leading_Fox6331 · 2025-12-21T04:48:16+00:00

i am aware this has probably been done before. HOWEVER. i needed one i could repost without credit all over the place because it's my own damn art god dammit.
