A Jojo's Bizarre rec list

Welp. I wanted to see the origin of the memes, and now I am myself becoming part of the memes.

Yeah, I finally started watching Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. And let me tell you, I have a definite thing for the ensemble and part crossover fics. It’s gonna take me a bit to write proper recs for all of them, but, in the meantime, I really want to share all these stories that have made me happy, intrigued, and, in a couple of cases, deeply angry at how close we came to a happier ending but damn it everyone is just too flawed and broken to manage it.

I think I came out almost half-and-half between gen fic and ship fic, so there should be something here to please everybody.

Batfamily rec list

Today’s topic is the Bat family.

No real reason, just Bat family fics I’ve enjoyed. Admittedly I have a weakness for Jason Todd fics, so he’s possibly a little over-represented. Mostly gen, ensemble fics featuring two or more Batmen, Batwomen, Robins, and the like.

Fic rec - Lovely Creatures series

Title: Lovely Creatures series

Author: moodybluemood

Fandom: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure (Part 5-centric but features all parts)

Rating: R

Pairing: Buccellati/Abbacchio, Sorbet/Gelato, Narancia/Kakyoin

Warnings: canon character death; canon-typical violence; body horror/gore; depression; discussion of suicide, drug abuse, homophobia and transphobia

Other notes: post-canon, afterlife, ensemble, multi-part crossover, character study, relationship study, world building, mythology, minor characters, trans character, found families, parents & children

Length: 194k+, WIP, series

Summary: Leone Abbacchio knew betraying the boss would almost certainly mean death. Accepted it. Sure as hell didn't anticipate that the afterlife would entail train rides with the world's chattiest assassin, old British men who bake you pie whenever you want, Narancia dating a nice boy with a hole in his chest, and occasionally chasing the creature that used to be Giorno Giovanna's father off your porch with a shotgun. Bruno better be proud. Abbacchio's really trying to be a better person.

-or-

Leone Abbacchio learns to love Leone Abbacchio.

Fic rec - an empty cage, if you kill the bird

Title: an empty cage, if you kill the bird

Author: amurderof

Fandom: Dragon Age: Inquisition / Pet Shop of Horrors

Rating: PG-13 (sequel is NC-17)

Pairing: Dorian / Iron Bull

Warnings: murder investigations, background character death (including references to suicide), parental abuse

Other notes: AU, fusion, cops, mystery, supernatural, modern day

Length: 26k

Summary:

Detective Bull Hissrad of the Val Royeux Police Department finally gets a break in the spate of bizarre deaths across the city: everybody who’s ended up six feet under bought a pet from the absurdly-named Magister D’s Pet Shop in Vintown, and the vint who runs the place is just strange enough to be worth checking out.

(Or, that time Bull was kind of a lonely, grumpy cop trying to figure out if Dorian was an ancient dragon hell-bent on exacting vengeance on humanity by killing people one at a time via the pretty inefficient method of selling them pets... or if he was just lonely and grumpy too.)

Title: here’s to the glory still to be

Author: foxfireflamequeen

Fandom: Yuri!!! on Ice

Other notes: de-aging fic, friendship, social media, sports and competition, art included, melancholy, magical realism

Length: 12k

Summary:

“Hi,” says Viktor, smile bright and camera-ready. His hand, when he extends it, is small and delicate. “I think you know who I am, but we haven’t met.”

His accent is very thick, very Russian in a way Yuri has never heard before. He looks from the offered hand to Viktor’s face, barely an inch higher, and tracks his hair, long and pale and spilling over his shoulders. He can’t be older than, well, Yuri.

“No,” says Yuri. “We haven’t.”

Warnings: explicit sex (gay), discussion of sex work

Length: 86k + sequels

So, of course it would turn out that the ridiculously charming Russian he's matched with online is a pornstar.

But perhaps, a 'professional opinion' is exactly what Yuuri needs...
