Theme: journey & travel, trans & non-binary characters, ambiguous relationships, non-sexual intimacy, road trips, hurt/comfort
Summary: Fyodor’s weak heart thuds violently within its cage of flesh and bone, ba-thump. Dazai’s knife kisses cold on the skin of their throat. They swallow, and the bob of their Adam’s apple against it draws blood.
“Alright,” Fyodor decides, “let’s find a way to die.”
// In the Decay’s aftermath, Fyodor and Dazai quietly slip through the cracks, and set on a journey.
Reccer's Notes: After Fyodor’s defeat, Dazai agrees to a double suicide instead of killing him and the two set off on an unexpected road trip. It’s a fantastic exploration of Dazai and Fyodor’s characters and their relationship. The themes of recovery, philosophy, religion, disability, gender, mental health issues, codependency, and intimacy are handled beautifully, and the writing is absolutely gorgeous <3
Content Notes: suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, self harm, right to suicide stuff, progressive & disabling genetic condition, religious elements, codependency, more detailed content notes in the author's notes

Schitt's Creek: Fifteen Hundred Miles, by MoreHuman
May. 18th, 2026 08:40 pmbirdylion posting in fancakeFandom: Schitt's Creek
Pairings/Characters: David Rose/Patrick Brewer
Rating: Mature
Length: 30758 words, 2:56h podfic
Creator Links: written byMoreHuman, podfic available by Amanita_Fierce
Theme: Journey & Travel, Canon LGBTQ+ characters, AU
Summary:
It’s an attractive thought, that changing your life could be as easy as doing a hard thing.
Instead of moving to Schitt’s Creek, Patrick decides to hike fifteen hundred miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, through the wilderness, alone. He ends up meeting someone else with something to prove.
Reccer's Notes:
This someone, obviously, being David Rose. The story has them meeting while both solo-hiking the PCT and running into each other again and again. The "Journey and Travel" part is not just a backdrop for a different first meeting and getting together. Instead, the difficulties they face on their journey feel true to my experience of long distance hiking in spirit if not in detail, loving and awe-inspiring descriptions of the landscape included.
The fic also inspired a very well produced podfic that is 100% worth listening to if you like podfics.

Heated Rivalry: Torture Me (With All I’ve Wanted) by toomuchplor
May. 16th, 2026 09:18 pmmific posting in fancakeFandom: Heated Rivalry
Characters/Pairings: Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov, Hayden Pike, Wyatt Hayes
Rating: Explicit
Length: 7060
Content Notes: Underage, as both Shane and Ilya are seventeen.
Creator Links: toomuchplor on AO3
Themes: Journey and travel, Forced proximity, First time, AU: Fork in the road
Summary: Regina to Edmonton was nine hours by bus if the weather was decent; it took a bit longer if — for example — your bus lost power on Highway 11 just past Dundurn, Saskatchewan.
Team buses, night drives, and one way things might have started differently.
Reccer's Notes:
This is a lovely story about Shane and Ilya as teens, just after the first World Juniors Cup, being forced into proximity on a long nighttime bus ride. The inevitable happens, and it kick-starts their relationship and their friendship at a much earlier stage, allowing them to rewrite the MLH's narrative. Told from Shane's pov, with wonderful characterisation and details.
