Welcome to the community! I wanted a place to deposit my Magicians feels, growing exponentially with each passing day, and since there was no place (that I know of aside from some cool fic challenges) specifically for that, voila!

There is really only one rule and guideline which is rather obvious: please treat other members respectfully, courteously, and restrict comments, conversations, and all content to discussions about either the show adaptation or any of the books. Any and all are free to post whatever they like be it icons, other graphics, fanfic, analyses, reviews, et cetera.

Suggested templates for rec posts and content announcements are in the text areas below--feel free to customize these as needed.

The previous post reminded me that I am offering a fanvideo for The Magicians in Fandom for Oz and Fandom Trumps Hate (links lead to my creator pages). I am offering for any fandom in Fandom Trumps Hate and a specific list of fandoms, which includes The Magicians, for Fandom For Oz.

Fandom Trumps Hate ends tonight at 8PM EST and Fandom For Oz ends at midnight GMT on the 29th of February.

Bidding at

fandomtrumpshate ends tonight, I’m offering a digital drawing of The Magicians (TV), and there aren't any bids on it yet. Any character(s) and relationship(s) are welcome to be requested, no exceptions! ❤

You can bid on it here. Make sure to choose auction #1 (the other two auctions are for other fandoms). Bidding closes on Friday, February 28th at 8pm EST, and here is a neat converter that tells you what time it is in your timezone.

So far I have only drawn The Magicians once and I’m super excited to do it more because it’s my number one fandom right now! ❤ (That’s why it doesn’t share the auction with any other fandoms, so that I definitely get to draw it as long as someone bids. :D) Other examples of my drawings are on my AO3 profile.

There are currently two charity auctions going on at the same time (more or less), and I’m offering to draw The Magicians for both of them! See my offer for Fandom for Australia here on tumblr. Feel free to bid on both if you would like two pieces of fanart just for you! :) (So far it doesn't have any bids either, but it ends a bit later.)

Summary:

“... if I have to spend another day around a mopey El, I will kill him myself.”

That brings him crashing back from sensory high. “A truth spell?”

Margo waves her hand. “Magical version of fuck, marry, kill, all it will do is make you answer truthfully, then it wears off.”

“Are you sure...”

“Of course I’m sure. You better appreciate this because I went to the fucking library for it.”

A friend and I have begun posting a canon rewrite fic which starts from the very beginning and diverges to tell a new story, in particular dwelling on the worldbuilding and the weirdness of magic. Check it out!

A Spell to Bind All Magicians (2916 words) by renaissance, mutagenesis
Chapters: 1/?
Fandom: The Magicians - Lev Grossman, The Magicians (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh, Quentin Coldwater/Other(s)
Characters: Quentin Coldwater, Julia Wicker, Eliot Waugh, Alice Quinn, Janet (The Magicians), William "Penny" Adiyodi, James (The Magicians), Henry Fogg
Additional Tags: Canon Rewrite, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Worldbuilding, Weird Magic, Body Horror, Slow Burn, Trans Character, Contains elements from both canons
Summary: For your consideration is scrawled helpfully on the corner of the first page of The Magicians by Christopher Plover. Quentin almost loses the first page; after that, he takes it with him to Brakebills, and he never puts it down

Satellite (4080 words) by radchaai
Fandom: The Magicians (TV)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Fen/Margo Hanson
Summary:

Margo was the bearer of the Sorrows, the fastest shot in the Trad—second fastest if you asked the Quinn girl, not that anyone should—and above all else, a notorious cutthroat bitch. She didn't lose fights to packs of jumped-up backstation grunts, especially not grunts of this station's calibre.

A space pirate AU written for the We Die Like Fen* flash exchange, where I was assigned to write for myself. Because I didn't match to anyone else and it turns out mods can, in fact, do that.

* (It's a multifandom exchange and the name is coincidental, except insofar as I couldn't resist writing about Fen in an exchange that bore her name. I promise she doesn't die!)

Fic: Although We Are Faithless

Pairings: Kady/Julia, background Kady/Penny
Summary:
“It turns out...” Kady swallowed, hunching down by the edge of the table. “It turns out you don’t stop caring about people even when they’re selfish bitches who betray you.”

Even though Julia hurt Kady, Kady can't stop caring about her. And after Kady's overdose in S03, Julia will do anything she can to help.

Notes: Written for

hurtcomfortex 2019

Huge thanks to capeofstorm for the beta. Please note this fic contains references to Penny's death in S03, to Kady's overdose, and mentions of suicide, rape and depression. It's got a lot more comfort than those warnings suggest, though.

"Theory and Application"
Source: The Magicians (TV)
Relationships: Quentin Coldwater & Alice Quinn, Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Length: ~12,000 words

Notes: Warning for disturbing content (fuller explanation in my author's notes on AO3, but—for basically the usual post 4x13 reasons); just like last time, spoilers through 4x13 but then I dropkicked the ending of 4x13 down a well. I keep my warning policy in my AO3 profile and am always willing to answer private DW messages or emails asking for elaboration or clarification on my warnings for a particular story.

Summary:

Alice attends some parties. Quentin changes careers.

Fic: Thousand Doorways

Pairings: Quentin/Eliot, background Margo/Fen, Julia & Quentin
Summary:

Eliot touched his arm, his face full of concern. And the concern was the worst fucking thing in the world. Quentin couldn’t. He couldn’t –

And it had all been so beautiful.

Sometimes memories of trauma knock you over at the worst possible moment. They're assholes like that.

Tags: Depression, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Canon Disabled Character, Flashbacks, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Past Sexual Assault, Therap, yAutism Spectrum, Canon-typical references to bestiality, Cuddling & Snuggling, Long conversations over coffee, Acting with good intentions but getting things wrong, Dogs help by being dogs, Quentin/Therapy

Notes: Thank you to templemarker for a very thoughtful and considered beta, and to capeofstorms for her patience and suggestions. I went on to blithely ignore both of them when it suited me and remaining mistakes are my own.

This fic explores depression and past sexual trauma, including flashbacks to past sexual assault, past coercion and a character struggling to understand consent. As such, it may be upsetting to read.

I am autistic, and read Quentin as autistic too. This fic isn’t about Quentin’s autism, but it felt disingenuous for me not to touch on it in a fic about mental health. Quentin has some internalised ableism and uses some ableist language here.

I've been channeling my anguish over the finale into writing a dæmon AU for The Magicians. Now, when I write a dæmon AU I get in way over my head researching what the dæmons should be, so I wrote up a very long meta post on how I decided on dæmons for Quentin, Eliot, and Margo for my upcoming fic.

Series: Part 2 of love + rhetoric + blood

Summary: Quentin had tried, okay, he was trying. He even agreed, although it was kind of under duress -- it was like Eliot and Margo and Julia and Alice and even fucking Penny, who wasn't even from this fucking timeline and still defaulted to hating Quentin's guts -- decided Intervention Tuesday was the way to go.

both her terror and her gentleness by

templemarker

Rating: Mature
Length: 1700 words
Content notes: No warnings apply.
Author notes: Takes place during 4x12 "The Secret Sea", during the scene where Alice, Penny, Quentin, and Plover are in the Drowned Garden. I wanted to dig into Alice's perspective on, well, everything in the episode. For

fan_flashworks challenge #260 - Cave, and my

fan_flashworks bingo card square "step".

Summary: On her better days, Alice can believe that she once understood the world, enough to live in it like a person, a person with a soul. The person she was before she was a Niffin, before she cursed her friends to obscurity and herself to the Library's imperfect incarceration.

both her terror and her gentleness

You can thank my uterus later

Pairings: Margo/Eliot/Quentin, Margo/Quentin, Margo/Eliot
Summary:
Quentin was fiddling with his hair and not quite looking at her. Jiggling his hands. He did want something, Margo thought. Something he was embarrassed about.

“Good things happen to boys who ask nicely,” she said.

It’s shark week. Quentin’s into it. (Dedicated to anyone who, like me, heard Margo talk about her period in 4.11 and was instantly horny.)

"A Beginner's Guide to Palmistry" [~3.2k]
by greywash [AO3, FFW]
The Magicians (TV), Eliot/Quentin, Mature

"Do you seriously not remember offering to teach me astrology?" Quentin asks, a laugh tucked inside it, like a razor blade.

None of my warnings for this one. I keep my warning policy in my AO3 profile and am always willing to answer private DW messages or emails asking for elaboration or clarification on my warnings for a particular story. This was originally posted to fan_flashworks for both the "Point" challenge and the "Horoscope" square on my FFW bingo card.

Summary:

Margo sighed. “It’s probably a Biblical flood then. We’ll have to build an ark. Two of everything. We’ll leave Quentin behind. I’m not sacrificing you or me.”

“We’ll pretend he’s some kind of weird Earth dog,” Eliot said.

Post-Monster. Fillory is flooding; Margo’s having at least one emotion and she hates it; Eliot and Quentin are way too into each other; Fen really needs to take the edge off.
