<blockquote>Later, when he’s older, it’s this that A-Yuan will remember most: the stretch of silence, the two of them both dirty and shaking with fever, as he looked at Brother Rich, and Brother Rich looked back at him.</blockquote> ➤ does an incredible job of evoking a tone and mood, and the quiet delicate complexities of emotions

<blockquote>A boy is going to die. The only question is: what is Huaisang going to do about it?</blockquote> ➤ Oh holy heck this is INCREDIBLE, I was riveted throughout, and I love how it portrays the complicated mix of emotions and motivations that Nie Huaisang and Mo Xuanyu have, and the way everything leads inexorably to this horrible and perfect end.

<blockquote>His father in white plays the song late into the night, and when A-Yuan wakes up confused and afraid, the guqin lulls him back to sleep. Lan Sizhui hears his father play the same song every night for his whole life, and never, ever get an answer.</blockquote> ➤ this is incredible, I didn't expect to love it as much as I did but I really did!

<blockquote>It is not an enviable position, being a bridge, particularly a bridge with visions. But sometimes, to build the future, that's what you need. Or: Harry and Corlath's daughter comes to Istan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Even the sweetest pup will bite if handled roughly, and Regan is no innocent. The making of a girl who embraced her demons and turned them to her purpose.</blockquote>

<blockquote>when everyone's lost, the battle is won, with all these things that i have done.</blockquote> ➤ In which John survives Atlantis, but is done with it after Rodney dies of a heart attack ➤ also at http://minervacat.stormwerks.net/gates/sga/notasoldier.html

<blockquote>Mike Webster had already been dreading a return to Camp Algonkian as the oldest camper, but his new counsellor seemed determined to make Mike's summer even worse.</blockquote> ➤ I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT EVERYTHINGGGG. ➤ And like I really love AVLS and it is in some ways the quintessential "back at Algonkian" fic for me, the AVLS Rudy always kind of bothered me with how very on top of every single situation he always is. I like that this Rudy is a little more, mmm, human and sympathetic?

AU based on the following: <blockquote>Because it was impossible, he allowed himself to imagine, just once, what it would be like to face Laurent as a man...if there had been no animosity between their countries, Laurent journeying to Akielos as part of an embassy, Damen's attention superficially caught by the blond hair. They'd attend banquets and sports together, and Laurent...he had seen Laurent with those he cultivated, charming and edged without being lethal; and he was honest enough with himself to admit that if he had encountered Laurent in that mode, all golden lashes and needling remarks, he might well have found himself in some danger.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"Our tsar has three sons. Handsome lads, if one appreciates such things. None are married...yet." The old woman snorts. "That's why you're here, though, isn't it?" "I'm to return the arrow to its archer. I know nothing beyond that. Other than it's," Vasilissa's mouth twists, "fate." "So you find it cruel?" The hut closes around her, the air warm and heavy. It's thick with the sent of rosemary and sage from the bundles of herbs hanging from the beams above them. The bones of previous suppers (hares and chickens and maybe even men) rattle in a hauntingly soothing melody. "I'd rather find it kind. But at the moment, I miss my shop." She shakes her head, and some of the syrupy warmth tugging at her mind fades. "It's childish of me, I know." "And you're no child."</blockquote>

<blockquote>Amanda Grayson raises two boys on Vulcan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In the two weeks following the events of Star Trek Into Darkness, a Starfleet officer tries to put Starfleet back together again. As a friend pointed out, anyone looking for a fic with plot and subtlety should probably not read this fic. It might work whether you liked the movie or not, but I wrote it in order to address multiple aspects of fail. It should probably be titled, Why I Love Starfleet.</blockquote> ➤ I cannot even with how perfect and right this fic is.

<blockquote>Feuilly joins the Amis and objects to everything , Joly and Combeferre try not to objectify patients, Enjolras cannot help but objectify the People, Courfeyrac is an object of merriment and Jehan makes Combeferre into an object of the sublime.</blockquote> ➤ aw fuckin hell, here's all my TEEEAAAAM feels back in yet another fandom. Only what do I call it here? Not "team" or "pack" or anything like that..... ➤ ANYWAYS THIS IS DELIGHTFUL IN ALL THE WAYS ➤ (I tag it as les amis; the viewpoint one is Joly)

<blockquote>To the city of York, in the year of our Lord 1780, there came a young man who had fallen upon hard times.</blockquote> ➤ or, how Childermass came to work for Norrell. ➤ An interesting story, and somewhat unsettling and stick-in-your-head in the way that any good fic about the magic of JS&MN ought to. ➤ It's -- oh, I'm describing it wrong. But this fic is extremely effective at feeling utterly like a part of the world of JS&MN.

<blockquote>The English major at home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Christopher Pike and the Kirks have been circling each other for twenty-five years.</blockquote> ➤ tags include: starfleet as a real paramilitary organization, Pike as hero and historian, winona kirk is the starfleet madonna

<blockquote>The problem is nobody knows how fucking terrifying it is to be Bruno Walton all the time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Annie, Troy, and Abed bake a pie and have sex. I have no idea why it's eleven thousand words.</blockquote>

<blockquote>John Bender gets a life.</blockquote> ➤ I know nothing about Breakfast Club, so: it is a fic about a angry high schooler who drops out and winds up a mechanic, making something out of his life, and the other half the pairing is the nerd from high school

➤ Is there even anything to say about this one? This fic is basically perfect.
