[Young Wizards] This fic still sticks with me. ;;

Content warning: cactus feels.

(the whole series contains feels of various stripes, though.)

bonus: game-relevant quote from the first entry: “You don’t have to agree with something to accept its existence, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up either. Acknowledgement and acceptance are not incompatible with attempts to change it.”

(goes for all my games, really, but especially)

That's a great story for what happened to the cactus. Much better than Douglas Adams with the whale and the potted petunia.

/snerk/ Indeed.

I love the idea of slice of life from an outsider to the series. This kinda reminds me of the Stargate fanfic series "The Barista" which was one of my favorites back in the days before having a OC as a main became frowned on by the community for whatever reason.

Hrm.
We do have a few of those in the YW AO3 tag, depending on where you poke it!

I don't know why I never poked at that tag. is looking now

I don't tend to use the bookmarking function (so I don't have a handy list, sob), but you can probably find the ones I've kudosed if you search around long enough.

since I assume my readings page isn't something you can access...

(I mean, it's also 52 pages, so there's that...)

See, I do because I want to get back to stuff later.

Usually I read things in one go. XD Keep a tab to restore in a future internet session if necessary, sure.
Then I subscribe for notifs if it's a series/author I like.
