fanfic_fridayHey folks, it’s Friday so that means it’s time to share any fics you read and enjoyed this week. I only have the one for you this week as I’ve been tearing through published fic in an attempt to pull together a nominations list but please leave yours in the comments below.
Three's A Crowd (2000 words) by Etharei
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: 魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Lán Zhàn | Lán Wàngjī/Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn, Lán Yuàn | Lán Sīzhuī & Lán Zhàn | Lán Wàngjī
Characters: Lan Zhan | Lan Wangji, Jiang Cheng | Jiang Wanyin, Lan Yuan | Lan Sizhui
Additional Tags: Pining, background lz/wwx, Introspection
Summary: In which Lan Wangji (HanGuang-Jun, Second Master of Lan Sect, one of the Two Jades of Lan) finds himself following after a certain young disciple on his first unsupervised night-hunt, only to run into a familiar face whilst lurking in the woods. Also, he has a lot of feelings. Alternatively: the woods are crowded with helicopter single parents.
I really enjoyed this, i think it shows a great job of highlighting some of the underlying tension between the adults but also how much family still means.

The Old Guard - 4, Harry Potter - 1, Crossover NCIS / SG1 / SGA - 1.
Date: 2021-02-20 07:12 am (UTC)Story: A Reflection Bereft, Not Dark
By:
Fandom: The Old Guard
Rating: Teen
Warnings: None apply
Pairing(s): Joe/Nicky (background)
Status: Complete
Length: 7,000 words
Author Summary: Nicky always knows where Joe is. Maybe not precisely, geographically, but he always has a sense of “present” or “away” and “present” includes a general sense of where they are in relation to each other. There is no slipping out without the other noticing for them, any more than Nicky would absentmindedly lose track of his own arms or Joe misplace his head. But now there is an absence...
Other: I've been waiting till the last chapter was posted, and it was so-o-o worth the wait. I love a good 'characters switched between universes' story, and this is wonderful. A little confusing (trying to remember which 'side' we're on), a little mysterious (how? why?), and thoroughly captivating.
Story: i love you as certain dark things are to be loved (in secret)
By:
Fandom: The Old Guard
Rating: Mature
Warnings: None apply
Pairing(s): Joe/Nicky
Status: Complete
Length: 9,400 words
Author Summary: ... Joe thinks about saying it then, just to alleviate some of the ache in his chest. ‘I love you’ he wants to say. Or even just, ‘Stay for a little longer this time.’ Or: The friends with benefits AU but they're immortal idiots so it's lasted centuries.
Other: Two guys who won't admit they love the other because they don't know their love is returned shouldn't be so charming. But it is, and very well done.
Story: Immortality, with a Grain of Salt
By:
Fandom: The Old Guard
Rating: Teen
Warnings: None apply
Pairing(s): None (Joe/Nicky background)
Status: Complete
Length: 7,900 words
Author Summary: As Nile adapts to immortal life, Joe and Nicky take turns teaching her a new recipe and sharing stories about their pasts. From dungeons to speakeasies to Soviet housing blocs, the immortal warriors decide who to fight and why, and build a family to last through all of it. Despite hearing that Andy barely knows where the kitchen is, Nile is determined to have one more cooking lesson.
Other: Nile learns more about her new family via stories told while cooking. Their retelling of their experiences give her some valuable lessons, and much to think about.
Story: The World Was Prose
By:
Fandom: The Old Guard
Rating: Teen
Warnings: None apply
Pairing(s): Joe/Nicky
Status: Complete
Length: 5,900 words
Author Summary: Joe’s barely seen the man in the next seat; he caught a glimpse of floppy brown hair and large hands, but that’s all he knows. Well, that and the fact that he’s the bane of Joe’s existence.
Other: This is an absolutely fun, almost-instant attraction and psyches fitting seamlessly together that we all wish we could have.
Story: These Small Hours
By: Jilly James at her site
Fandom: NCIS - SGA - SG-1 crossover
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Major character death (temporary)
Pairing(s): Tony/Gibbs (specific), Jack/Daniel (referenced), John/Rodney (referenced)
Status: Complete
Length: 66,000 words
Author Summary: When Tony DiNozzo was eight years old, Oma Desala set him on the path to ascension. Twenty-three years later, after contracting the plague, he takes the final step on the path. The loss of Tony changes everything for Gibbs and ultimately for Stargate Command and the city of Atlantis.
Other: Competent!Tony always has a plan... even when it comes to ascension. He intends to (and does) learn things so that he can do things to help when -- not if! -- he de-ascends. In the meantime, Gibbs becomes a part of the SGC -- and of the changes that Tony will bring to Atlantis and the Pegasus galaxy.
Story: All the World
By: Keira Marcos on her own site
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Discussion - child abuse. Discussion - murder.
Pairing(s): Ragnok/OFC, Sirius Black/OFC, Harry Potter/Hermione Granger (in epilogue, as adults)
Status: Complete
Length: 123,000 words
Author Summary: Ragnok Windrider, Chieftain of the Dverger, responds to his wife's vision of the corruption of Magic -- leading to a terrible, dark future -- with a trip to the past. His interference in Dumbledore's plans will rock the wizarding world, change the course of Harry Potter's life, and alter the fate of his people and the fabric of the magical world.
(This summary is my mix of the original on Rough Trade, and the finished version at permanent posting.)
Other: Everything I try to write starts retelling the whole story, so I won't. This is a long, plotty, thoroughly engaging story, where the Chieftain of the Dverger (goblins) steps into the lives of 15-year-old Harry and Hermione to change/fix what happened in an alternate timeline. For those who care -- Dumbledore, and Ron, Molly, and Ginny Weasley are painted in a very unflattering light.
PS: My apologies for the late comment. I didn't get an email alert today (???), and didn't see the post till late in the evening... but it was still Friday when I started formatting.
