"Underbelly" - this Rizzles story is a raunchy, refreshing, very rewarding (bike) ride!
Title of Fic: "Underbelly"
Author: DrScout
Fandom/Pairing: "Rizzoli & Isles", Maura Isles and Jane Rizzoli ("Rizzles")
TW: violence, rough s*x, drugs, swearing
Rating: M
Synopsis: In this very well-crafted AU exploration of our beloved Rizzles pairing, the writer has taken her chances by creating a deeply unique story about these two! It is remarked by the author that "Sons of Anarchy" was an inspiration for the plot, but as I have never watched it, I can't really comment on that.
What I CAN comment on, however, is the quality of the fic which is absolutely brilliant! It isn't exactly the slowest of slow-burns but the way the chemistry between Maura and Jane is written here is simply addictive. However, the author never fails to share with us Jane's and Maura's inner thoughts and feelings which creates the depth necessary for a truly great piece of writing.
So, in this story, we have a tattooed, wild bike rider called Jane who just got out of prison. She's a car mechanic but also belongs to the notorious "Druids" biker gang run by Paddy Doyle. Jane has grown up in this rough environment where weakness and vulnerability are almost never discussed openly - instead, people tend to get try and drink their sorrow away or have a passionate hook-up with somebody who doesn't mean anything to them so they can release tension.
Jane's whole world is about to change for the better, though, when she encounters Maura Isles, a doctor working at the hospital. They quickly fall for each other and realize that they want to be together. But Maura is an upstanding citizen who considers it very unfortunate that out of all people, gang-leader Paddy Doyle is her biological father. Jane has never learned to live by society's rules and standards and while she is determined to make her blossoming relationship to the beautiful honey-blonde work, she struggles to find constructive ways of dealing with her emotions and the Druids are like her chosen family - and her beloved younger brothers actually also belong to the gang.
This story is very entertaining to read, incredibly well-paced, and the author manages to create suspense and really pull you into this AU Rizzles version! It might not be the story for everyone as you certainly have to be willing to try out something new and unusual - in my opinion, DrScout did a great job of capturing Jane's and Maura's personalities and make the whole story work despite the challenge of having Jane be a convicted ex-felon - not many writers would be able to pull this off, yet here it is done with thoughtfulness and finesse.
whenever i open a fanfic and see "sorry english isn't my first language" in the authors note i know i'm about to read something that belongs in the metropolitan museum of fine art
Is the phrase “Going on a fanfic bender” in use?
Because recently thats the perfect summary of my actions.
Bottle after bottle. Fic after fic. Why stick to one type if you can try all? Fluff, Angst, AU, Originals, get in the mix. What is grass anyway and why do you need to touch it when you can read about touching.
Venturing into the wilds
OMG, as someone started out reading fanfic on AO3, a foray into FFN is just plain nerve wracking.
Like, I have no idea whether this story I just started is a fix-it (which I want), or whether it's going to turn out canon compliant. What if there's an MCD?
There's literally no to way to know except sneaking a look at the end of the story, or maybe the comments, and I don't want to do that and spoil it, in case it really is a fix-it! Because while it would be good to know that everything turns out okay, I don't want the all the details, ya know?
How the heck did anyone survive before AO3?
Update: YEP, stayed up till midnight just to get burned by MCD. 😭 FFN, why.
crazy how fanfic authors drop the most beautiful and gorgeous pieces of work ever, leaving you speechless and sobbing at three in the morning as you quietly contemplate the masterpiece you just read
and they don’t get paid for it they just do it because they’re having fun and they want to share their joy with you
like I would literally die for all of you fanfic authors out there reblog to swear your allegiance to fanfic authors
The bond between the mediocre fanfic we read during puberty and us is something unbreakable
I swear, sometimes I go back to that fanfic just to understand what fascinated me so much about this world.
Sure…
Yeah, I know that happens to me, too, all the time.
Fanfiction just “appearing” without even searching for it. It’s like a sign from the universe.
I’ve been there, lived that, many times.
Some days you are fine, some other you find yourself accidentally reading bbc jonhlock for the first time.
Fanfiction Frustrations
Am I the only that finds it more frustrating when the author says “use your imagination” than an unfinished fic.
Because when it’s unfinished there’s at least the tiniest amount of hope of the author coming back to it.
But when it’s “use your imagination” I just wanna throw my phone at the wall.
omg yes!!! or when they drop the most beautiful work of literature and just disappear for like 10 years and come back saying, "oh my god, guys, im so sorry for stopping updating, i was in prison, but anyway, let's get back to work"
like girlllll 😭
