<blockquote>A documentary examining the courtship and mating rituals of Vulcans, made in collaboration with T'Lara.</blockquote>

<blockquoteA new plan hatches in Wei Wuxian’s head. If this nocturnal, bottom-feeding, slimy, invasive mudcat posing as a beautiful actor thinks he can sway Wei Wuxian with animal pictures and a sob story and an unbelievably stilted way of texting with still no dick pictures in the first five minutes of conversation, he has another thing coming. Wei Wuxian’s got it, alright, he has this in the fucking bag. / Wei Wuxian plots to expose a catfish using strategic memes and turtle pictures while wiggling his way out of family dinner. Lan Wangji just wants companions. </blockquote> ➤ I loved how the resolution was about more than just the lwj/wwx but was about wwx's relationships with all the important people in his life. Also the sudden outside pov with the internet talking about lwj's mystery friend after so much time in wwx's head gave me LIFE.

<blockquote>In 1988, Crowley met his freshman roommate at the University of Saskatchewan and accidentally fell in love. Over the years, he and Aziraphale have settled into their roles as a director of stodgy classics and big-budget musicals respectively. But now Crowley has been tasked with finding a student at their alma mater who the Festival's Marketing department are sure will put the final nail in the coffin of the classical drama side of the Festival with his new play, a theatrical retelling of Paradise Lost. Crowley has been instructed to guide the student—whose name his boss has inconveniently forgotten—towards their goal, but Crowley's not going undercover alone. He's bringing Aziraphale with him, hoping that they'll bring enough balance to young Warlock's life that he won't bring about the end of the Stratford Festival with his play. Meanwhile, Adam Young becomes thoroughly distracted from writing his play by the pining professors who seem to be teaching all of his friend Warlock's classes.</blockquote> ➤ I love everything this chooses to be

<blockquote> “Hey, Boots,” said Bruno. There was a muffled thumping noise. “No.” “You haven’t even asked what this is about yet!” “I don’t need to. It is—” There was a pause while, presumably, Boots checked his clock. “Four forty-five A.M., as in in the morning, and I have never, in all our many years of acquaintance, known you to come up with a good idea between midnight and five A.M.” “You’re correct. This isn’t a good idea. This is a great idea.”</blockquote> ➤ this is incredible and I love it very much

<blockquote>Take, for instance, the couple she’s consulting with this afternoon, for their upcoming October ceremony. Seemingly mismatched in every respect. The plump, fair-haired one looks like a parody of an absent-minded professor, as sketched by someone who didn’t bother to do much actual research; his clothes are so outdated it teeters on costume. He’s wearing a bow tie, and not in that reinvented hipster way. This is a bow tie unacquainted with the cycles of fashion, a bow tie that has never heard the word irony. His partner is a rangy, black-clad ginger in snakeskin boots. He has the look of a hungover rocker about him, and would somehow, even without the sunglasses he has fully committed to wearing indoors on a cloudy afternoon. He’s sprawled almost defiantly in his chair and keeps throwing dubious glances around Dr. Blackwell’s office, as though expecting a lightning bolt to strike him down for merely daring to be within spitting distance of a church.</blockquote> ➤ THIS IS AMAZING AND I LOVE LITERALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT IT

<blockquote>basically just a warm bundle of my Holmes/Watson affections :)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Lando is constructing plans to take back Cloud City and get the galaxy's only Jedi Knight into his bed. One of these things may be harder than the other.</blockquote> ➤ I am extremely charmed

<blockquote>But then Rodney would stand close to him, or be unexpectedly kind, or do something stupid and heroic, and John’s entire body would shout him, that one, Rodney McKay, him. Like the world was a candy store where John could just point and say I’ll have the genius with the big blue eyes and Rodney would be his with a bow on. / John did not ask to sprain his ankle, to be reassigned to the best quarters in Atlantis, or for Rodney McKay to become his new neighbor. But that’s what happened. Post-series. Here’s wishing callunavulgari a very Merry Christmas. She gave me a detailed letter with lots of avenues to explore. I was struck by “domesticity” and “a slow, lazy kind of jam that just makes me happy.” Here’s my attempt at that. <3</blockquote> ➤ aaahhhh I love it

<blockquote>Jim is looking forward to rolling into bed after a nice relaxing game of chess when Spock decides to conclude the evening by announcing, "There is a 71.936 percent chance that I will develop romantic regard for you during the period spanning ten months from the present moment and four years, two months and fifteen days from the present moment."</blockquote> ➤ demisexual/demiromantic Spock.

<blockquote>In which Jim finds himself fake-married to his first officer every other month. It's not his fault. Mostly. Dowries and Klingons are involved. Starfleet is decidedly not amused.</blockquote> ➤ what excellent fun with tropes. And I love how it ends!

<blockquote>Laurence and Tharkay, holed up together in the midst of a cold, snowy winter, pass the time by reading old letters. But there's more contained in those papers than either of them bargained for...</blockquote> ➤ the premise of this fic is INCREDIBLE, I love them going through Laurence's old letters in a cozily domestic wintry home, with the contents new to both of them

<blockquote>“I thought we were actively avoiding each other after the Trandosha Shitshow,” Han says. “We’re actively avoiding each other after the Iridonia Shitshow,” Lando corrects him, “the Trandosha Shitshow is That Which We Do Not Speak Of.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Goats are purchased, a plot is uncovered, and Costis Ormentiedes is in love.</blockquote>

<blockquote>So his new partner was surprisingly not completely un-attractive, for a human. Gavin Hayes had impressive aptitude scores, and a friendly smile, and eyes sharp as winter currents, taking in the station and remembering names and details with an ease that belied his causal charm. All things that transcended species boundaries and general integumentary inadequacies. It didn’t mean Sezin found him sexy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Haruhi said to the stranger, "The food's good, isn't it? Have you tried the small quiches?" She'd spoken English on the assumption that most people in the room would likely understand it, but when the man turned it became apparent that he was Japanese. Haruhi knew this because she recognised his face. It was the face of Japan's ace skater, Katsuki Yuuri. "K-K-Katsuki Yuuri-senshu!" Haruhi clapped her hand over her mouth, feeling the blood rise to her face. "Ah," said Katsuki. He was different off the ice. His spectacles reduced the impact of his eyes, and the shape of his face was somehow softer, less distinctive. "Do I know you?"  / Yuuri makes a friend. Viktor hates it.</blockquote> ➤ I don't know the fandom yoi is crossed over with but the knowledge is unnecessary for appreciating the fic

<blockquote>The entire hockey team falters, faced by Katsuki's dark eyes shaded by his inky eyelashes. It's very effective. Mila's going to find out what mascara he uses. "Did - did someone pull a prank on you?" says Katsuki. His Russian isn't terrible, but between his soft voice and his frankly adorable accent, half-American and half-Japanese, he sounds like a little lost lamb.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The ATF has questions about how some explosions on Greendale's campus tie into the local rumors of a cult led by Troy Barnes. The study group has answers. Sort of.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In which it turns out that Radek Zelenka is a sex god.</blockquote>

<blockquote>“Uh,” Geralt said, staring down at the glass bowl. “Ribbit,” said the frog.</blockquote> ➤ You know, I know nothing and care nothing about this fandom (five fics in, I'm still having trouble remembering the main character's name....sorry, witcher fans!), but I hope astolat keeps writing these ridiculous tropey delightful fics about these dudes at such a fast rate because they're such fun to read

<blockquote>I relayed the information I’d so masterfully committed to memory in my youth, re: the prophet Elijah being taken up to heaven while still alive and in full possession of his faculties. I’d won a prize for Scripture-knowledge and so had details of this sort at my fingertips. “Although,” I said, as we neared what I took to be the stratosphere, or some kind of sphere at any rate, “just now my resemblance to the prophet Elijah escapes me.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Whenever Kylo Ren throws a dramatic tantrum over something inconsequential, Hux grits his teeth and very carefully does not think about the 500+ hours of leadership training he has completed or the zero hours Ren has done because his mommy happens to be General Organa. General Hux has workplace issues. Meaningless sex does not help solve them.</blockquote> ➤ omg
