Masha's Roulette #5
Welcome to the fifth issue of my weekly random grab-bag of recommendations newsletter, where I will show you some things to read and some things to listen to, and my solemn promise that at least one item in here will be new and interesting to you.
First, Some Things to Listen To
I just opened twitter and they're right, this Barbie PC game song does not need to slap so hard. Besides that I've been listening to, unfortunately, gacha rhythm game music. The vocaloid version of RAD DOGS just dropped on Youtube and it's pretty good! I like Hachioji-P generally. What else do I got. I listened to Lucifer by SHINee again, as one does. I miss those days. I've also been really enjoying Shards by Auktyon if you are not in the mood for vocaloid or 2nd-gen K-pop today.
Now, Some Things to Read
The theme of the day is multifandom f/f fic recs! Here are some fics about girls that I like.
two, across by QuickYoke
Fandom: Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Pairing: Hilda Valentine Goneril/Lysithea von Ordelia, Rating: E Word count: 62.4k
Summary: Lysithea can barely keep afloat under the workload of giving undergrad lectures and finishing off her PhD thesis. Meanwhile Dr. Hilda V. Goneril is somehow both the laziest person as well as the most successful young professor she has ever known. It's absolutely aggravating.
Where the Lake Ends by Empatheia
Fandom: Percy Jackson, Pairing: Calypso/Piper McLean, Rating: T Word count: 45k
Summary: Seven years later, a new hero lands falls out of the sky and washes up on Ogygia's shores. Things go a bit differently this time around.
Business in a Bloodstained Dress by darkmagicalgirl
Fandom: Haikyuu!!, Pairing: Shimizu Kiyoko/Yachi Hitoka, Rating: E Word count: 12K
Summary: Oh my god,” Yachi says, looking at the dead man nearest her feet. His face is the color of an overripe plum, a pair of nylons twisted around his neck. “Oh my god.”
“Why does the Mona Lisa smile?” Koi repeats, looking away from the fridge with the smallest of frowns creasing the skin between her brows.
“She knows she is to be hanged,” Yachi completes the codephrase, raising her hands to show she’s no threat. She forces her shock and fear out of her mind, tries to remember the protocols that have been drilled in to her over years of training. “Koi, I’m glad to meet you. I’m Dormouse. Are you injured?”
A KiyoYachi spy/handler AU.
yours, mine, ours by cityboys
Fandom: My Hero Academia, Pairing: Jirou Kyoka/Yaoyorozu Momo (side Todoroki Shouto/Midoriya Izuku), Rating: G Word count: 45k
Summary: In which Momo winds up with a catering job and Shouto tries to delay the inevitable.
Note: I liked this in 2017 but have not reread it since then and am not sure how it holds up.
Revenge of the 'Maids by rillrill
Fandom: The Clique series by Lisi Harrison, Pairing: you'll see, Rating: Not Rated but I'd say probably T? Word count: 3.5K
Summary: Anyway — what a thrill! I can’t believe Alicia is getting MARRIED! I guess it’s true - you can make a hoe into a housewife after all.
