Fanfics (>10k words):

  This is the best fic of all time oh my god IM SO SERIOUS.. A Canon Divergent AU where V has a complication, and Uzi hacks her system. Shit derails. EVERYTHING happens. And it's worth every second. the writing is good, the story makes sense, and everything is so tragic. Please bro. Please read it.

Books

I only read fiction so. Um. Yeah. Fiction aka Everything:

• All Quiet On The Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque (296 pages)

  My favourite book. It's a historical fiction classic about a young and disillusioned German soldier fighting in World War 1. its so flipping good. AND SO SAD HOLY SHIT.

• The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger (192 pages)

  Classic about a 16 year old boy's 3 day excursion in New York it's very entertaining and SO SO SO FUN to read. You've just got to read it. Or you're gonna be a phony. You dont want to be a phony do you.

• The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (320 pages)

  Dystopian feminist classic. Disturbing and that's why you should read it.

• The Covenant Of Water by Abraham Verghese (715 pages)

  Trigenerational historical fiction novel celebrating advancements in medicine, the bonds of family. Very interesting and well researched (and very long haha)

• Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler (345 pages)

  Dystopian novel about a young girl coming of age in a drug-addicted and water-shortaged vision of America in 2024-2027, written in 1993. its interesting to read and compare the book to past, present and future predictions because, as of writing this, it is 2026 which is within the time period of the book

Comics

• I'm The Grim Reaper by GRAVEWEAVER (257+ episodes [incomplete])

  A supernatural thriller webcomic about a girl named Scarlet, who gets appointed by Satan as Hell's new grim reaper.
