El's Master list

Hi, call me El. I post cod shit, and occasionally fics. I talk to my mutuals a lot. like A LOT a lot. I don't post anything spicier than suggestive, go to mt sideblog @what-in-the-gloobie-glob for that, but don't expect much

Um I'm hard to offend, so if you wanna send me hatemail at least be creative :) if you send anyone else hatemail you're not allowed on my blog

a few rules before we start:

homophobes, transphobes, racists, pedophiles, ableists, zoophiles, and zionists are not welcome here. you are not welcome if you are just being an asshole in general, not saying you have to be nice, but don't be mean. Additionally I DO NOT support the use of AI in any art from including writing and audio. Here is the list

now that the necessary info is out of they way. feel free to make any request, my askbox is always open and anon is left on (dangerous I know), I cannot guarantee that any ask will be answered with any efficiency, but it will be answered eventually.

while I mentioned all the people who are not allowed on my blog, please know that the only problem I actively talk about is homophobia and transphobia. this DOES NOT diminish any of the other problematic topics, they are simply the ones that apply most to my blog. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET ABOUT ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS!!!

I do have a link to a bunch of downloaded Ao3 fics, fics that I have personally read, in the event that the website goes down for an extended period of time again (DDoS of 2023). there IS a link to give me suggestions for fics to download, only taking completed fics.

The biggest misconception in public schools is that literary analysis is about proving you can be right or wrong about a book you read

Literary analysis isn’t about the book

It’s not even about being right

It’s about performing an investigation and presenting your case to the jury

It doesn’t matter if your defendant killed that guy or not. If you can convince the jury he didn’t, you’ve won

And the incredible life skill of spinning bulletproof bullshit out your ass with a handful of facts and a prayer is soooooooo much more valuable than anyone’s ever gonna tell you

Rules: Give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the least words (feel free to interpret however you would like; if not on AO3, can be on Tumblr or FFNET!).

@losersimonriley pretend im a salesman trying to get you to buy my wares. oooohhhh loookkkkk fanfics ✨ angst ✨ fluff ✨ are you looking for a little smut? feel free to peruse, please 😏😈

Most hits: Don't Let Me Go (58,516 hits)

Canon-verse story of Ghost and Soap - with the 141, Vaqueros, and other friends along the way - dig deeper into a seemingly underground trafficking ring that reveals much more than they ever expected. Friends to lovers. Slow burn (for real). Lots of violence and lots of sweetness. Delicious amount of mutual pining and angst that ends with a happy ending. My first baby.

Second most kudos: Please say you love me (846 kudos)

Post MWIII fix-it where Soap didn't die in the tunnel that day but everyone believed he did due to a number of circumstances. Established GhostSoap relation that sees Ghost an empty, angry, shell of a man who has lost his husband. A year later he comes across a photo that shows his husband is very much alive, sporting longer hair and a longer beard, living in London for the past year. But when a frantic Ghost comes face to face with his dead husband again, those stunning blue eyes show no recognition of knowing who Ghost is. Domestic amnesia fic of disgusting sweetness, falling in love again, and a story of true unconditional devotion. Art in each chapter too.

Third most comments: Try again (14 threads?)

Ghost and Soap tried. They tried really fucking hard. But sometimes love isn't enough, and Ghost's heart terrified of losing the only thing that mattered to him eventually turned his fears into a reality. 15 years later they're put on the same team again for an operation and it's obvious the feelings have lingered from all those years ago. Short fic about a relationship that didn't work out but when the universe appears to give them a second chance, Ghost would be a fool to pass it up. Old(er) man yaoi. Imagine Soap as a silver fox. Oooh that's that good shit.

Fourth most bookmarks: A little less gentle (59 bookmarks)

lmao short fic about Ghost and Soap talking about trying new things in bed. Nothing explicit. Mostly about consent, communication, and finding what they are both comfortable with and how they react when something goes wrong.

Fifth most words: Are you warm enough? (2692 words)

When the snow cracks underneath Soap's feet, he is thrown into the depths of a hidden icy lake. After rescuing him from the water, Ghost is desperate to get a freezing Soap somewhere warm. Exactly what you expect. Lone cabin in the snowy mountains. One bed. Sharing body heat. First kiss. *chefs kiss*

Fewest words: Come to bed (536 words)

Silly drabble about Soap playing first person shooter games and an incredulous Ghost who is grumpily trying to get Soap back in bed.

HONOURABLE MENTION because it sadly missed every category

Please be selfish (a rare AleRudy appears)

A story focusing on the three times Alejandro and Rudy slept together before they officially got together, each under different circumstances - nervousness, excitement, relief - and we see how their feelings develop overtime as their lives continue to entangle with one another. Childhood friends to lovers. Rudy has been in love with his best friend for forever. Alejandro seems to be having new feelings. Truly love this one. Proud of it. It just hits the perfect feelings of unrequited to requited love, longing, flirtatiousness, drama, and final acceptance of feelings.

my wares interest anyone? 👉👈🥺 mayhaps?
