spatz | July recs

Going out of town soon, so here's just a short list of my top three reads from last month:

cookin' up a storm, piece of cake (The Untamed) - charming modern cooking blog AU, told in epistolary style as Lan Wangji grinds his teeth into dust over his idiotic commenters (and one in particular who you can guess, hah).

The Virtue of Being True (Nine Worlds) - in which a spell backfires off Kip's magical protections and makes everyone AROUND him tell the truth. Hilarious, chaotic, fun inversion of the premise, and very soft in the end.

Lord of Misrule (Lord Peter) - in which Peter takes care of Bunter for once, after he's hurt helping a friend. Peter/Bunter is a hard ship to get right for me, to walk the line of their dynamic, but this one is so so good at it.
