No no I’m going to make this a fic rec because apparently people don’t know about this fic I’ve been vagueing about like a loser!
Spitandvinegar’s Ain’t No Grave (Can Keep My Body Down)
It is amazing, it is one of those fics that knocks you back. It is one of those fics that guts you. It is also one of those fics with indelible, witty images that stick with you and inform your worldview, beyond just your headcanons! It is one of those fics that is hilarious. It is so good. It is out of nowhere. It is some random new author who hasn’t been around the fandom blogs, who doesn’t have the same internalized same-old fanon stuff we’ve all absorbed without noticing. I can’t wait for this person to write more shit, because this is so good, and it is everything I have wanted in a new Stucky fic.
It’s just, it particularly guts me because this fic has so many little things that are exactly like things I’ve wanted to say, and says them better. So I am bitterly jealous of this fic. And that is down entirely to my own impostor syndrome issues and the usual shit people bring to the table when they read something.
If you’ve enjoyed my fics, you should read this, because it says a lot of things I wanted to, and then addresses many things it never occurred to me to mention, and is wonderful, and all the things I said above.
I’m just sort of bitter because I want to reread it to the point of memorization, and I can’t, I really shouldn’t read it at all, because there are enough similarities that I’m going to inadvertently copy something super hard, because whoever this is, we’re definitely on some weird cosmic wavelength.
Which I’m sure to an objective reader is nothing like anything I’ve written so it’s all in my head– I just– that’s what I was upset about, I think– it’s like what I wanted to write, and didn’t. And it’s so good. Which, I mean, jerkbrain: what does that mean my shit is?
Oh. So like. Yeah.
But for the record when the next bit of mine has a lot of Matt in it I had that idea before this last chapter went live so there waaahhh! Jerkbrain is trying to tell me I copied spitandvinegar, when I know for damn well I didn’t, so I’m just putting it out there. No. It’s just one of those weird coincidences. And probably nobody else will ever think it’s weird.
And damn it, it’s better than the scene I wrote shhh
shhhh
shhh this person being good does not make you bad it is okay
oh my GOD. i am a goddamn mess of a person sometimes. and i would love to avoid my troubles by rereading this fic compulsively except that it is only going to make it worse. perhaps later i can do that. perhaps.
