@bafflinghaze, did you see this rec of your stuff?

@maraudingmayham you might want to check out this fic with demi Harry:

“Dreams of Horses” by Anon (part of the anonymous fest, 2016 HD Pet Fair) Mature, 17834 words Summary: Harry’s back at Hogwarts for his eighth year, but nothing’s the same. Now he’s a Hufflepuff, Hermione’s a Ravenclaw, and Ron’s an Auror. Harry and Ginny break up, Luna’s shaved her head, and Draco Malfoy is suddenly and inexplicably Harry’s new best friend. And then there’s the unicorn in the Forbidden Forest.

And there might be a couple more on this list.

And in case anyone who sees this post also likes omgcheckplease, you might be interested in the rec list of ace fics that I made. 

Check Please!: Asexual Representation in Fic

The fandom for @ngoziu’s @omgcheckplease webcomic (which you can start reading here) gets an A+ for representation of asexual characters. For such a young fandom, it’s awesome how many fics feature an ace protagonist. For any reader who’s sex repulsed, I will warn that several of these fics do contain explicit sex. The characters in most of these stories can best be described as identifying as demisexual or gray ace, and interestingly it is most often Jack Zimmermann who is ace (but perhaps that’s based on the fact that most omgcp fic is Zimbits?). For anyone who’s interested, I talked a little bit more about ace Jack in this rec list. Please pass on to me any other omgcp fics or tumblr writings with ace characters! 

Zimbits Fics

A Little Bit Closer by @marswithghosts  NC-17, 107,963 words Summary Eric Bittle’s To-Do List: 1.) Frame Masters in Library and Information Science diploma and send to Mama, because she never understood the lack of sleep and abuse of caffeine, but she sent cookbooks and money for good chocolate, bless her. 2.) Throw away every last highlighted article, graded paper, and syllabus, because they are no longer needed, thank the sweet Lord. 3.) Promote the library’s new periodic reading series, because it wasn’t the capstone project for nothing. 4.) Harass Boston Bruins star Jack Zimmermann into taking a picture for @BPLWestEnd to promote the reading of his new children’s book, Jacky’s Bad Days. 5.) Do not ogle Boston Bruins star Jack Zimmermann’s ass. 6.) Fail step five. Repeatedly.

Being in Motion by @marswithghosts  NC-17, 53,988 words Summary: Watching a college boy jerk off online for money is not what Jack Zimmermann ever saw himself doing. Getting to know that boy is something he expected even less.

Mixing It Up by sinspiration ( @justwritins ) Mature, 40869 words Summary: Eric Bittle, of Bitty’s Bakery, is very excited to have been chosen as a contestant for the Food Network Challenge. He’s even more excited to find out that he’s making a cake for the NHL new-Cup winners, the Falconers.

with grace in your heart by @iridescentoracle (heterodyne_girl) and @jenesaispourquoi (mutuisanimis) PG-13, 108937 and counting (WIP but they do update!) When Kent Parson shows up at Epikegster 2014, he doesn’t mess up Jack and Bitty’s relationship, but it is a turning point.

“Cheiloproclitic” by akadiene ( @fatlardo​ ) PG-13, 1210 words Summary: Cheiloproclitic - Being attracted to someones lips. Jack really likes kissing.

“it’s my sweet beginning” (you need an ao3 account to read) by nighimpossible ( @saader ) PG-13, 4423 words Summary: “You’re a goddamn hockey robot, Zimms,” Kent tells him one night, and Jack shrugs, because even if it’s not exactly right, it’s easier than the truth.

“Best Laid Plans” by Euphorion ( @flightlesscrowkids​ ) NC-17, 18596 words Summary: “Dude,” said Holster, his eyes huge, “that’s so sad. We gotta get them together.” “This isn’t a romcom, Holtzy, ” Ransom said, patting his arm. “I’m sure that’s not what Shitty had in mind.” “Actually,” said Shitty, “that’s exactly what I had in mind. And I’ve got a plan.” [I’m putting this under Zimbits bc the focus of the fic is getting them together, but it’s also got Shitty/Lardo and Holsom. Ransom is the asexual character, but he also speculates at one point that Jack is ace. It’s never confirmed whether Jack is one the ace spectrum, but I think you can read him as gray ace. See below for a the story told from Ransom’s pov]

Holsom (Ransom/Holster)

“Things Holster Likes” by Euphorion ( @flightlesscrowkids​ ) PG-13, 12154 words Summary: The thing about Ransom was, he wasn’t gay for his best friend. [companion piece to “Best Laid Plans” rec’d above]

Dex/Nursey

“love you as the plant that never blooms” by @horchatita and @wishingonalightningbolt NC-17, 27, 241 words Summary: Dex doesn’t roll his eyes, but only because he’s overwhelmed with the thought that he really does have feelings for Nursey. Gooey feelings. Romantic ones. They see each other every day; they’ve been close, there’s been touching, and maybe—maybe it’s not quite as platonic as Dex assumed it was. From watching Ransom and Holster, anyone could get the idea that that’s just what friends do. But… It feels different. “I like him,” he says, soft, contemplative. “I like when he’s around and it’s frustrating to watch him go. It’s horrible to think he might be upset at me, or that he thinks I lied to him. It’s killing me.” -0- Dex doesn’t know what it is to want. With Nursey, he learns.

“The Pulse I Offer” by @jalules PG-13, 5596 words Summary: Derek Nurse is quite suddenly struck with inspiration.
