Oh damn yeah I thought the tags were enough to warn for the ending. If it makes you feel any better, I hate "bad endings" (is there a true bad ending when the characters are canonically meant to reincarnate and find each other again?) but this one I gobbled up because it made so much sense, it's in tune with what infold constantly puts out, and it's just too well written.

oh, that was SO BEAUTIFUL and SO CRUEL. how could it end like that? i mean, yeah, okay, but STILL.

wow. that was superlative. we need to send that author a box of chocolates and an incoherent marriage offer.

Truly the author deserves all the comments they're getting and more. Slow clap applause and standing ovation.

I'm slowly making my way through your list, for some reason starting from the bottom (that was the first tab open for me). The Jaws of Denial is done, lovely whump+comfort, I do love me some badass MC getting very very hurt and Sy losing his shit because of it.

I...read two very cute Sylus/MC fics but then I got to e g g s and my brain couldn't process anything else. 15/10.

Went through a pretty Raf fic, a very nice Zayne one, and then Caleb <3 oh Caleb. They let you sing with your own voice in pseudo-incest fics (same author of the Raf one, too! Speaking of, I HAVE to recommmend Siren's Call and takedown, my god.)

no beta we die like xaviers sleep schedule

Here's a whole list lol
("no beta we die like grandma" is a canonized tag)

Finished Rotary Devotion, it was an absolute GEM. So good. So so good.

I also found out one of my fav Crowfish writers added to their gorgeous series very recently and I can't not recommend it: terms&conditions https://archiveofourown.org/works/67214404

The Tadpole and the Caterpillar
-- when Caleb came back very, very wrong. mind the tags.

I was NOT expecting The Summer Hikaru Died x Caleb. What a genius idea and great find.

[ChicletPrime]

I was not expecting to like Terms & Conditions, as the premise was doing nothing for me since I'm still hung up on my girlfriend x one boyfriend at a time, but yeah, that was really, really well done and i have taken my pursed moue of knee-jerk judgement and thrown it out a window. that was delicious!

really enjoyed their dynamic, very particularly the interactions over Rafayel's Secret Room Of Remembrance and Sylus' near helpless slavering to get into it at the start. it just goes to show that it doesn't actually matter what the fanfiction is about really, its how its written that makes it compelling.

E G G S slapped me in the face with a slimy fish too. I was... not expecting that and then I couldn't get away - /picture me desperately trying to claw my way out of pit of quicksand. wow. some people should be fed all the chocolate cake just for the sheer braggadocio of the whole thing.

I somehow missed the paragraph about Siren's Call and Takedown, did you add that in afterwards as an addendum? I inhaled those over a snifter of ... cookies and cream ice cream because sunday was World Ice Cream Day and who am i to miss such a festive event. the dialogue in Takedown was incredibly spot on, I fell into Rafayel's voice immediately in my head and it was perfect the entire way.
