Theme: Unreliable Narrator, Cultural Differences, Interspecies Pairings, Languages & Linguistics, Mermaids, Pining, Worldbuilding, Xeno/Alien Biology
Summary: Mo Xuanyu lives alone at the edge of the habitable world, continuing Wei Wuxian's work and strengthening his cultivation. One day soon, he hopes to surpass the Yiling Laozu's power and follow him into the unknown. Complications arise.
Creator Notes: (Cut for length.) ( Continue. )
Reccer's Notes: LesbianlazerOwl’s AU where the Jiang and Jin Sects are deep-sea merfolk is a strange and rapturous gem that turns Lovecraftiana upside-down (from the POV of a character embodying everything Lovecraft abhorred: a queer Asian—here turned sea creature—looking to monsterfuck.)
With all the haughty smarter-than-the-sheeple dudgeon of the alienated Emo Kid, Abyssal Merman! and Seeker of Arcane Knowledge Mo Xuanyu follows his idol the Yiling Laozu’s forbidden explorations of the mysterious and unfathomable surface—where, according to rumor, he found love with an eldritch air fairy! (Should the author ever see fit, I’d love to read a Wangxian prequel.)
LesbianlazerOwl compresses an incredible amount of atmosphere and implicit worldbuilding into just short of 5000 words, in ways that encourage still further speculation (the Sunshot Campaign is referenced; what could justify such a name in this world, and what were the Wen—creatures of the infernal blazing heights of the Epipelagic Zone?)

2026 2nd Set of Ducklings
Thursday, 9 July 2026 17:08yourlibrarian posting in common_nature
We spotted a second set of ducklings on the lake! This was somewhat distressing at first because the babies were following mama to the retaining wall, which she flew up onto and they were stuck below.

OFMD: bloom & wilt by redshift
Sunday, 5 July 2026 21:27kingstoken posting in fancakeFandom: Our Flag Means Death
Pairings/Characters: Izzy/Ed, Izzy/Ed/Stede
Rating: E
Length: 31,803 words
Creator Links: redshift
Theme: Unreliable narrator
Summary: Izzy has spent years at Edward's side. The occasional petal here and there, the intermittent rasp that makes itself a permanent home in the hollows of his throat, the cough that comes and goes; it's all worth it, to be the person Ed turns to. It's a price he pays willingly.
Now, though. Now, Izzy knows what love looks like on Edward Teach, and it is soft and sweet and open and nothing like what Izzy has ever been able to give. Izzy's place is at Edward's side, and it's killing him.
That's okay. He's always wanted to die for something that matters.
Reccer's Notes: Izzy has hanakaki disease, and I love how the author writes it likes it's an almost chronic illness. Izzy is an unreliable narrator in how he thinks about Ed and Stede and their motivations. We as the reader can tell by their actions that their intentions are not what Izzy probably thinks, but Izzy's thoughts are very much coloured by the experience he is going through and he's not seeing things for how they truly are, and of course he refuses to talk to Ed about his feelings and what going on, which only makes everything worse.
One note, this is canon-divergent after season one.

Navy Seal Copypasta (Internet meme): Navy Seal Copypasta - The Musical, by Copypasta Sings.
Saturday, 4 July 2026 15:02full_metal_ox posting in fancakeFandom: Navy Seal Copypasta (Internet meme): Navy Seal Copypasta - The Musical, by Copypasta Sings.
Pairings/Characters: Self-insert OC.
Rating: Teen and Up
Length: 287 words; 3:52
Content Notes: Unreality, stalking threats, death threats, Critical Research Failure (U.S. military), Lyrical Dissonance, macho edgelordship, profanity. The archived original 4chan forum discussion under the OP link gets even nastier.
Creator Links: Copypasta Sings:![[youtube.com profile]](https://youtube.com/favicon.ico)
copypastasings7991; the OP, for obvious reasons, remains ultra-classified.
Theme: Unreliable Narrator, Filk, Music, Non-AO3 Works, Social Media
Reccer's Notes: This trash-talking ßadass Boast by a Master of Gorilla (sic) Warfare and Top Army Sniper of the Navy SEALs has inspired a zillion adaptations and memetic mutations; dramatic readings have tended to the most gravelly depths-of-the-scrotum basso the speaker can muster.
Copypasta Sings takes it in a diametrically opposite direction, setting the lyrics to a sensitive singer-songwriter acoustic ballad.

Batman: (you kept me like a secret) i kept you like an oath by gatheringwool
Friday, 3 July 2026 16:44sasheneskywalker posting in fancakeFandom: Batman - All Media Types
Pairings/Characters: Jason Todd/Bruce Wayne
Rating: Mature
Length: 11,401 words
Creator Links:gatheringwool
Theme: unreliable narrator
Summary: Jason always knew everyone would flip out when they found out about him and Bruce.
He just always assumed it would be more along the lines of Jason, you dirty whore you. Not whatever the hell this was.
Reccer's Notes: The best example of the "unreliable narrator" tag I've ever seen. Bruce's actions are unequivocally terrible, but because the fic is told from Jason's perspective and Jason genuinely doesn't believe there's anything wrong with their relationship you start questioning your own judgment too. Chilling. Absolutely amazing, but chilling.
Content Notes: discussion of past underage sex (adult with a child), rape/non-con, sexual abuse, incest
