Anonymous said: oh it is post 3×09, i just wasn’t sure how the whole thing works. sorry! i’ll go ahead and recommend it just in case, although you might have already seen it. my friend wrote it and i really liked it! it’s called “the houses of our fathers” by thesorrowoflizards. i’d send a link, but tumblr ask doesn’t like that lol.. it shouldn’t be too hard to find, though. thanks!


No, you’re absolutely fine! I’m glad that you asked! I actually just read and prepared a rec for it this morning. It’s a fantastic Magnus-centric fic! It’s in the queue for tomorrow afternoon, so keep an eye out for it! Thanks for sending in the information!

Anonymous asked:

for the 3A collection event, can we submit fics that fit the bill or do you find them?


Hi! All recs for fics related to episodes prior to 3×09 have already been posted and I have already found and queued the recs for this week’s installment. Unless something new is posted between now and Tuesday evening and I have the time to read and rec it, this event is pretty much complete at this point.

However, that’s not to say that any fics that are related to 3A and aren’t recced during this event will never be recced. I usually do an event leading up to the end of a hiatus that features episode-related fic recs about prior events. At this point I’m tentatively planning a short one for the beginning of August, so 3A fics that were missed during this event will have another opportunity to be featured then.

In general, I do allow recommendations to be submitted and if you have one that’s for a 3A-related fic feel free to send in the title and author. But please keep in mind that recommending something does not necessarily mean that it will be recced or that it will be recced soon after the recommendation has been submitted.

Thanks for your interest!

Summary:

His skin was crawling with the need to do something, to let out the power inside of him that he had grown so accustomed to, but every attempt was a reminder of what was missing. He had to do it. There was no other way.

That didn’t mean he had to like it.

Anonymous said: B99 anon here, thank you for try to find the fix, it’s not neither of those three but I read it and live it anyways! Thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️


You’re welcome! I’m sorry that I couldn’t find the one that you were looking for, but I got two corresponding answers for you, one from @la-muerta and one from an anon (thank you to both of you!), and they explain why I wasn’t able to locate it. They both think you’re looking for Title of Their Sex Tape by Lecrit, but unfortunately it’s been deleted. Sorry about that! 

Anonymous asked: Hi! How are you? Can you help me? I’m looking for a fix, is brooklyn 99 au, Alec is the new chief and Simon is Peralta, ring any bells? Thank you in advance, have an awesome day❤️


Hi! I’m great! Thank you for asking 🙂 

I did a search on A03 and unfortunately I’m not sure that I was able to find a Malec-centric fic that fits your exact description. From what I can tell, it looks like Luke or Magnus are chief in these. However, here are the links and descriptions to what I was able to find just in case.

The Heist by Aryn

It’s the third round of the heist at their precinct. Magnus and Jace are tasked with stealing a crown by midnight, and both are eager to prove that they are the greatest detective of all time. But when they each brush Alec aside and leave him off their teams, all bets are off.

aka the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” AU that nobody asked for.

Shadowhunters 99 and the Worst Case of All: Heteronormativity by melbopo

Magnus knows that becoming the new captain of the one squad in the whole state that has not one but both of the younger siblings of his sworn enemy is bound to be a mistake but he deserves to be in charge of his own command. He knows how much good he can do with this leadership position. Who knows, maybe he’ll even teach the nine-nine some new things as they solve Brooklyn’s toughest cases. Maybe they’ll even teach him something.

aka the shadowhunters as b99 fic no one asked for but I wanted to write!

Brooklyn 81 by isobel_smy

The one where Malec are the adorable police detective couple.

If anyone recognizes the fic that the anon is referring to, please reach out and let me know. I’m sure they would appreciate it! Thank you!

Summary:

“Get out of my way, Nephilim,” the Mother of All Demons sneers. “Or I will destroy you like the insignificant little insect that you are.”

“Alexander,” Magnus pants from behind him, voice strained with urgency and pain. “Leave.”

“No.”

Anonymous asked: How do you find fics to rec?


It really just depends. First of all, I check A03 for new fics every morning and evening and bookmark fics that, at some point, I would like to read and perhaps rec. I also regularly search for themes, tags, and authors that I enjoy reading and add those as well. At the moment, I have just over 1,000 fics in my “to-read” tag and that continues to grow every day. 

If I’m planning for an event with a specific theme or tag in mind, then I search my bookmarks and A03 as a whole, as well as keep my eyes out for anything on Tumblr that would fit with it. The basis for that is really just fine-tuning how to properly search for things using the methods that each site provides. Obviously, one is much easier to navigate than the other.

However, if I’m planning for a regular day then it really just depends on what I want to read at any given moment paired with the knowledge that I need to balance that with types of fics that I’ve noticed my readers enjoy. For example, I’ve been reading a lot of AU fics lately, but I try to feature at least one canon fic a day as well because I know some people prefer those. I also subscribe to several of my favorite authors on A03 and whenever they post a new fic, I usually read it right away and rec it as soon as I can fit it into the queue.

I hope that answers your question. I’m not sure if I was as specific as you wanted me to be. If I wasn’t, please feel free to let me know and I’ll try to give a more in-depth answer.
