<blockquote>Jupiter discovers that the one thing Caine Wise wants most in life is to be a pretty pretty bride on his wedding day. And she sets out to make that happen. Look, I'll be frank: this is over 7000 words of pure self-indulgence. My only hope is that it scratches an itch for my recipient as well.</blockquote> ➤ I almost didn't read this but I'm so glad I did because I am SUPER CHARMED

➤ this is a free audiobook download that I have saved to my computer, hence why this bookmark isn't actually a link. A time-travel romance in which a Roman soldier ends up in the regency period and meets a bluestocking. 40 min long, I'm guessing on the wordcount.

<blockquote>"Long time readers of my work will know that I think the debate over whether a woman can have it all is nonsense. No individual woman, no individual person, can have it all, whatever "all" is supposed to be. But one of the measures of maturing is knowing what it is you do want, and working to attain it. What would it take to turn a Supergirl into a Superwoman? What does she want to be when she grows up?"</blockquote>

<blockquote>“Fuck you,” Leia says. “Who said anything about getting married? Did Luke say anything about getting married?” “Luke is not involved,” Luke says, not looking up. “Hey, Luke is not involved,” Han says, pointing at her. She’s going to bite his finger off, then they’ll see how much pointing he can do with it. “This is about you and me, princess.” “There’s not going to be a you and me,” Leia says. “I’m going to have this baby with C-3PO.” C-3PO says, “Madam,” tremulous.</blockquote> ➤ I love how this fic understands their relationship

<blockquote>A series of vignettes about the Fancot twins being twins.</blockquote> ➤ zero repercussions for their shenanigans, all is lighthearted fluff

<blockquote>The prompt: Jupiter finds out that because Caine's a splice he's never had a real birthday (cue horrified gasp). With Stinger and Kiza's help Jupiter throws an epic birthday party for Caine with cake and gifts galore. (basically a crack fic prompt). Birthday sex is optional, I just really want Caine to be happy and embarrassed/shy about how much people love him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Felicity is classically-trained and spends her days coming up with a capella compositions and remixes [and has a youtube channel]. Oliver is the lead singer of Arrow, the hottest new rock and roll band.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"The punch was not as potent as one party Rosalie had heard of where the guess all passed out and had to be piled up in the basement, but everyone was about three sheets to the wind and listing about the first floor of the house wherever the zeitgeist blew them. Attempts by the Conservatory students at playing Romantic waltzes had disintegrated into the eclectic melody of ‘I got stuck in the moving sixths’ by the first violinist, ‘what the hell happened to my bow,’ by the second violinist, ‘what are arms’' by the viola player, and ‘what is consciousness’' by the cellist." Or, rather, Bahorel meets his laughing mistress at a crazy, counter-culture bouzingo party, and negotiates a pleasant series of social contracts.</blockquote>

Also, Spock is a sex god.</blockquote> Strange Harvest Lies of Omission and Lies Outright
