as promised, a set of recs devoted (almost) entirely to cephalopod
Rec 1: DAVESPRITE: RUN A HOSPITAL INTO THE FUCKING GROUND Team: kernelsprite Creator: cephalopod Why I’m recommending it: the prompt was davesprite<>terezi, body horror vs. medical drama, and the fill is davesprite and terezi firing off puns and the slickest lines ive seen in forever while doing terrifying things to patients in their hospital. theyre both completely unhinged but everyones down with that, and id read a whole new-wave novel written like this. and on top of that, 'She looks up and there's toner on her tongue. You get the cheap shit, just for her' is my new favourite way to sum up dave and terezis relationship.
Rec 2: The Slitherbeast King Crowned in Joy and Splendor, All-Surpassing Team: kernelsprite Creator: cephalopod Why I’m recommending it: it reads like raymond chandler on lsd and its perfect. the prompt was dualscar <3< darkleer, decadent lit vs. rock stars, and even when it trips out so hard youve got no real clue whats going on any more the writing is so smart it doesnt even matter. 'your eyeballs are individual messianic utopias with their own populations of transcendent machine elves that can't talk to each other' - i dont understand where such an immaculately insane imagination came from, but i am doing the opposite of complaining about it.
Rec 3: untitled Team: john<3dave Creator: seer_of_void Why I’m recommending it: i knew i was going to love this from the very first lines: its a perfect ensemble fic with everyone ridiculously in character and ridiculously funny. highlights include 'WE HAVE A RIVALRY WITH THESE GUYS THAT IS AS LONG AND TORRID AS A MUSCLEBEAST'S BULGE', daves motivational team memo, jades shamelessly biased aggression as a sports commentator, and the skaia wolves' Startling Revelation. read it, its one of the funniest things ive seen all hso.
