Deadloch Fic Rec List!

Deadloch fic rec list!

There's some really enjoyable fic out there in this fandom — this is by no means an exhaustive list. In fact, my whole reason for posting it is to encourage people to explore what's out there, if you haven’t yet.

That said, here are my personal favorites. I really love a fic where a character's voice has come through really well, and that's true of all of these.

Eddie, Dulcie and Cath:

north to the ocean, hotter than the sun by halfeatenmoon (explicit)

This is so hot and so funny. I love this Cath: so in-character and so completely excellent. So many of her and Eddie’s lines in this made me die laughing ("domestic"!!). And I really love Dulcie and Eddie’s vibe, here; their interactions made me flail so hard. 

Deadloch, day eight by Despire (teen and up)

One of my favorite things about the show was the way Eddie looks at Dulcie, and how it changes over time as they get closer. This fic...has somehow managed to capture that energy perfectly, and it really got me in my feelings. I love Eddie so much and I love Eddie with Dulcie so much.

Keep On Gruckin’ by kirazi (explicit)

This fic includes a lot of little character notes that feel so absolutely right, to me, particularly for Dulcie and Cath. I love how…sort of shy Dulcie and Eddie are around each other. And I love seeing what Dulcie loves about Cath; I love seeing those two in a really believable, really happy relationship. Searing hot, as well. 

house rules by halfeatenmoon (teen and up)

This has two things I love: Eddie and Cath becoming friends, and Dulcie playing the straight man/stooge who has to deal with their shenanigans. This is so in-character and so cute and fun.

despite all my bad decisions by DeanBean (explicit)

I love this version of Dulcie SO MUCH. She has a lot of overlap with how I see Dulcie, actually. I really buy her — I felt very convinced by this and like I could see the things that were happening while I was reading. Excellent, and also so hot.

In Plain Sight by applesforthis (explicit)

I feel awkward reccing my own fic. But, well — I posted it on April first, and afterward a couple people pointed out that tumblr was full of boops that day and that many people may have missed it for that reason. If you want a very character-driven, slow-build Eddie/Dulcie(/Cath) story leading to polyamory, with lots of personal growth and relationship-building and a very happy ending, then this is for you.

Abby-focused:

The difference is kissing someone you actually like by Lenore (teen and up)

This Abby is so absolutely in-character. And so is Deadloch. Can a place be said to be in-character? I don’t know but this fic has nailed it. I love seeing Abby’s ups and downs as she works on doing something daunting without the support that she’s used to. I love how much she loves her job, and I love the happy ending.

Everything Good Happens After Midnight by skyvillage (teen and up)

This is so sweet. I really liked Abby and Sharelle being friends in canon, and this feels like such a natural extension of that.

[Image descriptions: four screenshots of TikTok videos. The first image is of a young person in a bedroom wearing hijab and looking distracted and annoyed. The text reads, when i cant post my egg laying oviposition bunny hybrid omegaverse fic for tdov easter because im fasting for ramadan. im so mad wallahi #easter #fanfiction #ao3 #fanfic #fandom. The second image is of the same young person with wide eyes and another user's comment: Is this a rude question please delete it. But if an omega went in to heat during Ramadan would they be permitted to you know?? Like in a lot of fics the omega get sick if they don't. The third image is of the same young person on a front lawn facing away, looking thoughtful and resigned, with a screenshotted comment from another user: Is slick halal? The fourth image shows another user comment, I want to ask what Ramadan is but if it's important I don't want to know form an omegaverse TikTok... and the same young person in a deck chair looking satisfied, with the caption you ever regret things / because I don't. End image description.]

[Description of images: screenshots of text. First image reads: Scientists Find A Whole New Ecosystem Hiding Beneath Earth's Seafloor. Second image reads: Most recently, aquanauts on board a vessel from the Schmidt Ocean Institute used an underwater robot to turn over slabs of volcanic crust in the deep, dark Pacific. Third image reads: It's a whole new world we didn't know existed. "On land we have long known of animals living in cavities underground, and in the[..."] Fourth image reads: Scientists found tubeworms particularly fascinating. These deep-sea creatures seem to travel underneath the seafloor through volcanic fluids to colonize new habitats. This could explain why so few of their young are ever seen congregating around deep volcanic fissures. Most may be maturing below the surface. End descriptions of images.]

twitter post by @sewershroom, 10th April 2024: 
a screenshot of part of a form, asking the question "Select all body parts you have today". Checkboxes allow you to select multiple answers, which are: breasts, cervix, uterus, ovaries, vagina, penis, prostate, and testes. Breasts, penis, prostate and testes have been checked.

reply by @nbouscal:
"people often say “isn’t agab language useful for medicine” when i argue against using it, and unironically, no, something like this is far more useful. agab is about the past, but the doctor is treating you in the present. they need to know hormone balance and what parts you have"

this is a way better model... you'll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.

[we can't see the full form, but i'd suggest having a "something else" option and dominant hormone question too.]
