One of my favourite PL fics ever just updated after several months but it hasn’t appeared in the AO3 tags and that makes me sad…
I’ve posted about this AU a million times but it’s just that GOOD. Maybe even better than the canon series. Randall doesn’t fall at Akbadain. He goes to university with Hershel, Angela and Henry and you think they’re going to BFFs studying forever but Targent says NOPE.
Hershel faces SO MUCH LOSS in this story but he gets through it, with a lot of help from Don Paolo. Don- Paul here- is AMAZING.
Hershel wants to be Descole’s apprentice. Teenage rebel Emmy hangs out with Des, Hersh and Aurora.
I’m not a super big fan of younger Randall/Angela in MM, but I care about them SO MUCH here. Let them get married! Why not? And this is also one of the best versions of Hershel/Claire I’ve ever read. Claire is an an angel in PL3, she deserves all the love she gets, but she really feels like a HUMAN in this story. This fic even made me sympathise with BRONEV.
Layton 8th Anniversary
this made me CRY
AU where descole is so pissed at layton for constantly unmasking him that at the end of miracle mask he just snaps and passive-aggressively reveals his identity, leaving him dumbfounded for like 3 days
Right after the Professor agrees with Luke that “no child should be unable to talk with their father”, he tells luke that if there’s anything he wants to talk about he’ll always be ready to listen…

Bedewed with tears I have carried you, our little dog, as in happier circumstances I did fifteen years ago. So now, Patrice, you will no longer give me a thousand kisses, nor will you be able to lie affectionately round my neck. You were a good dog, and in sorrow I have placed you in a marble tomb, and I have united you forever to myself when I die. You readily matched a human with your clever ways; alas, what a pet we have lost! You, sweet Patrice, were in the habit of joining us at table and fawningly asking for food in our lap, you were accustomed to lick with your greedy tongue the cup which my hands often held for you and regularly to welcome your tired master with wagging tail.
Coworker: You just got here, why do you look like you've been crying?
Me: Just thinking about her...
wouldn't you like
