Rec-Your-Favourites post for September 2022: Favorite Reads

[cornerofmadness]

I've been meaning to put this up for 10 days but life you know?

Rec the favorite thing you're working on right now or maybe the favorite work you're reading.

A few simple considerations:

It might be helpful to give your comment a suitable subject, like for a specific fandom, and also to do separate comments when reccing places in different fandoms. We're going to put in suitable tags so people can find it later as well.

Age restrictions and content warnings: Please keep in mind this journal is public and has no content warning. For your convenience, we've put in an age restriction to this post only, so you can also post everything which is not explicit or NSFW. If your post contains the latter, please put it behind a text-link with a suitable warning, to keep this journal a safe place to visit for everybody.

Comment size, images and headers: As cuts don't work on comments, please try to keep your comment to not longer than roughly the size of an average notebook screen after posting. If you want to put in images, please size them to not more than 600 pix on the longest side.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here or to drop a note to cornerofmadness


We’re looking forward to seeing what you like to share!


Also while I was over on zwei_hexen I noticed there is no one listed as host for next month so I might as well start asking for volunteers now because OMG HOW is it the end of Sept already?!?

Digging Up Bones

Summary It has been six months since Malcolm last worked with the team but he has no choice but to reopen old wounds by going back to them after what his mother found in the Never-Ever room. Maybe he should have left those bones lie but it’s too late for that now.

The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù

[bluedreaming]

I stumbled across the series Master of Dual Cultivation by esama, which is two parts (complete) of an eventual three part (?) series, and devoured it over the past few days. I also realized there's a complete podfic series of both parts already, by So2Voice (Metagaming, the first part of the series, was their first podfic <3 ) and have therefore dived into that as well, so I'm just basking in happiness at the moment.

Metagaming summary: [Self-Saving System Activated! You will now be returned to your original starting position.] Shen Qingqiu dies and gets a second chance and decides to try a different approach.
Character Optimisation summary: [Bonus mission, "Me, Myself and I" is now available. Would you like to activate the mission?] Shen Qingqiu tries to sort himself out. Yue Qingyuan and Liu Qingge try to help.
