Hmmm, not particularly headcanons (I don't have many for SFTH stuff to my surprise) - but I absolutely love DerLucht's interpretation of them on their fic Made of Steel on AO3 (which is an amazing fic btw, I absolutely loved it) where she is just magic and can do stuff like change the weather. Margaery should do more actual magic, I want to see her do crazy things with magic no explanation and brush them off like it was nothing, I want to know what she's been doing all those 2000 years, how far back does she really know Titch's family and why??? I just need more content about her she's so fun
For James and Titch I really only have general story ideas, like I really wanted to write something about the first time James called Titch his brother - or vice versa - but I couldn't come up with any concrete plots.
Like it could be in a fit of emotions, maybe they're younger (cause who knows when Titch was adopted) and Titch gets lost and James has to look for him and it just happens, like he just finds himself calling for his brother. Maybe it's just natural and he doesn't even notice it (maybe happening out of panic or something), or maybe it surprises him (though I think I prefer it just being natural). I imagine Titch being really surprised by this, maybe struggling to find his place in the family and wondering if he belong (Another version of emotions could perhaps be anger which could be interesting)
I could also see it being casual, maybe just like a "good morning, brother" which surprises Titch
Or, I had a vague idea of combining all three of them and - again, probably when they're younger, but I suppose it could also work for when they're older - maybe on some major holiday (I was thinking Christmas since it just passed and it was on my mind) Titch gets a bad injury that needs tending urgently (or James, I suppose, but I just like injured Titch, I guess, lol). For plot convenience maybe they live in a really small town and any doctors/hospitals are closed (and if they're younger their father isn't home, I couldn't decide why that would be other than an issue with the farm or electricity or something) and so instead they go to Margaery who helps them out. I like the interpretation that she's got a soft spot for both of the brothers even despite their chaos and all of the things they bother her about
I just love scenarios that show how much Titch and James care about each other - but particularly when James shows that he cares about Titch because I feel like I see less of that
Woah that was a lot more than I expected
Got the sudden urge to post so here we are
Thinking about The Unrelenting Aubergine again too much- as much as I love Ditch (they consume so much of my brain) I would love to see more stuff about James - especially his dynamic with Titch, but maybe also his dynamic with Margaery
And just more stuff about Margaery in general - I love her, she is amazing. I want more fics just about her (I’d write them but I don’t know what I’d write 😭 I’d write the James and Titch stuff too, and I have some ideas, but not how I’d write them and they’re just general concepts. I’d love to hear more, too)
Oh, I don't believe it! The Nazis ruined my date!
RTGame
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
One of my favourite things about this fandom is someone could say “hey does anyone remember what video ding a ling bing bong penis kachow is from???” And like 5 people would go oh my gosh yes I love ding a ling bing bong penis kachow
today i wrote zero words! but i did think about my story twice in passing. that probably counts for something
Maybe vague icebound spoilers for most recent episodes (34-ish??? I can’t remember)
If it’s not obvious from my reblogs today I just finished catching up to Icebound and I am. I don’t know what there is to say but I need it to continue even though it wasn’t that long since the last episode - I am going crazy
Anyway, missing Queenie in the campaign, too, she’s going to be so disappointed when she gets back and learns of what they’ve done, lmao. I wonder what her and Daisy have been up to.
I don’t know why but I love Jornir and Skrimm’s dynamic right now, they’re just so interesting to me - and Taishen and Barnabos, too, intrigue me
I have many a fic I want to write
Anyway, that’s it. I don’t know what else to say I just love Icebound and its crazy cast of characters, I’m so glad I caught up finally - it was so worth it
Another study of AJ and Luke
Hugs to all you lovely people, your support and love means so much to me you can‘t even fathom <3
I love the Icebound gang with Daisy so much, but my God the love I have of Barnabos' uncle role in Daisy's life is so unmatched.
Grizzled old sailor who has traveled around the world and meets a young lass who didn't even know there was a world to travel to. Guy who fed her sister and took care of her, only to unintentionally be the reason for her demise and who accidentally calls her by her sister's name repeatedly. Barnabos who came to fight and nearly die for Daisy several times over and yet still unable to protect her from being returned to Ogreton. Who told her harsh remarks to try and get her to stay behind with her family, to avoid being stuck in the freezing cold and starve with the rest of them only for her to tell him fuck you I'm doing it anyways. Who found out they were still alive after months of separation by seeing an absolute gigantic Barnabos fighting a to the death battle in a ring against a Goliath and snapping the man's head off and screaming in victory. Daisy coming back home and patting his head while he slept and being the first to wake up and hug him after he wakes and cooks them breakfast. Barnabos who gives her not a double but a triple portion of food, who reassures her that he didn't say such unkind words just to be cruel but because he wished he could have spared her any more hardships and suffering. Daisy telling him she appreciated it, she knows and him just tussling her hair.
BRO THEYRE FAMILY. THATS HIS NIECE AND THATS HER UNCLE, MAN.
cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them
cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.
cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,
Every time AO3 starts trending on Tumblr and it’s NOT down I always get worried. Like what do you mean it’s not down??? What are we all doing here, then?
Hi! I'm just another random person on the internet. I go by any pronouns, or you can just not refer to me. Whatever works. Have a nice day/night! :D(Changed my name in the hopes that my irl friends won’t find me hidden under this trench coat…)Current hyperfixation/Interest: ENA’s Dream BBQ, Legend of Avantris's DnD stuff (just finished catching up to Icebound! Half way through Curse of Strahd now and starting Edge of Midnight), and slowly falling out of the SFTH fandom :C
