292 | more recs! two song covers + 8 fic recs

► I follow a decent number of cover artists on YouTube (and thus obviously also regularly get recommended covers from artists I don’t follow), and the last… two or three months or so, I’ve been really enjoying listening to covers of songs from Epic the Musical. This all started with annapantsu’s genderbent cover of Ruthlessness, which probably isn’t the first cover I heard, but it’s the first one that made me sit up and pay attention to what I was hearing. I really like it!

I haven’t heard most of the songs from the musical, nor have I checked out the original (or indeed, even investigated in what form it exists in), though I probably will eventually—but for now, I’m just really enjoying the piecemeal (and tbh, mostly genderbent! which I’m so so here for) way I’m absorbing the canon.

I bring this up because at some point, YouTube recommended me Loganne’s roleswap cover of Suffering, and I am currently mildly obsessed with it. ( do songs have spoilers? )

tl;dr I really enjoy this cover and wanted to both record my feelings about it at this point in time and also rec it.

► And while I’m at it, have some fic recs from my November reading so far, organized by alphabetical order by fandom. I’ve been on a bit of Yu-Gi-Oh kick (with a side of Wuthering Heights, since I also reread that novel early in the month), so those comprise the bulk of the recs.

Fandoms included: Fire Emblem Awakening, Stardew Valley, Wuthering Heights, Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters ( beneath the cut )
