(no subject)

Recently listened to:

Dirty John (REALLY good, but most of the extras aren't really worth it unless you watch the Bravo special. The live show was decent look and had other interviews, though.)
Bad Batch (Very interesting!)
The Mysterious Mr. Epstein (horrifying and revealing)

Overall I am super happy with the Wondery podcasts I've been picking up. All high quality, interesting and many are complete mini-series like I tend to like.

New podcasts:

Framed

13 Alibis

Cold

Locked Up Abroad

The Wonderland Murders

Author's note:

Fun fact, I've had corrupted!Ike fic in my drafts since 2008. But, I didn't want Soren to die or be afraid of Ike, so there it remained....until I remembered that scene from ATLA where Katara was able to calm Aang down via a hug, and this FEH update. So it all coalesced into this piece.

In the end I kept closer to my earlier vision prior to the update actually dropping, where all we had were a few voice lines, than the actual FEH support chain/canon (which I loved, for the record.) That and I was affected by this Laurent/Noire WIP I'm 60k into I had and thought "What if Soren went like Laurent does to Noire, and loved him now matter how violent or chaotic he became? What if Soren saw Ike turn completely monstrous and went "You're still the person I love, even if you're corrupted and full of chaos. You're still you deep down, and if you're going to hell then I'll go with you."

(Though to make them truly like Laurent and Noire Soren would have to be actively turned on by Chaos!Ike and uhhh lmao that is for another fic.)

Come to think of it, it probably had a heavy influence of Kyoto arc of Yami no Matsuei, too. I didn't even realize until I was putting the last colors in and went "Huh, these seems familiar--OH!"

Oh, and canon-typical blood and gore.
