<blockquote>Sometimes they’ll also ask him why he hasn’t gone out and chased his soulbond yet. Jim will point to the sky, and say, “The moon’s always there, babe. Don’t need to go chasin’ after her.” It is January, year 2063. Humanity has quietly achieved interstellar travel, and Jim Kirk’s soulbond stretches into the stars.</blockquote>

<blockquote>An AU where David becomes a wedding and event planner after the Roses lose everything. And Patrick is still...Patrick. With apologies for anachronisms, as I haven't seen the latest season.</blockquote>

Friendly. Somebody he might have wanted to hang out with, if things had been different.   Yuuri hoped he hadn't pretended the guy was Victor Nikiforov or something stupid like that. When he got that drunk, all bets were off.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Yuri wouldn’t categorically say that he’s moping. It’s just a crush, after all, and Yuri is fine. He is in control of his feelings. He hasn’t even checked Otabek’s Instagram account today yet! So, it’s completely unjustified that both Victor and Yuuri are holding this thing they aren’t calling an intervention for him.

<blockquote>“Are you not going to read the article?” she asks, flopping onto his bed. “Look who ranked second, just after Phichit Chulanont.” Otabek reluctantly scrolls down, and oh. #2 - Yuri Plisetsky  In the embedded Instagram photo just under that subheading, a very grumpy Yuri is cuddling a very grumpy-looking cat.

<blockquote>John Sheppard goes west.</blockquote> ➤ The one where John's a ski instructor. I was convinced I'd read this fic before? But it was juuuuust published! So I guess that somewhere in the fandom's history there's another ski instructor au - wouldn't surprise me anyway. ➤ At any rate: I'm eternally delighted by how SGA au's, no matter how au, still often end with them getting to go to Atlantis. Because the otp is really an ot3: John/Rodney/Atlantis 4ever

<blockquote>Benvolio is playing spin the bottle. Tybalt is not. (They're in underground dystopian Verona, because why not.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>this is the AU where Valjean learned computers in prison, became one of the first silicon valley millionaires while still on parole, got sick and tired of all the media coverage about 'inspiring excon made good', sold his company to Yahoo and moved to a small town somewhere in America to raise his adopted granddaughter while her mother finished the fieldwork for a PhD, and he met Javert the local cop and promptly started turning his entire world upside-down. Enjoy.</blockquote> ➤ I particularly like the second chapter

<blockquote>Every morning's the same. John wakes up before dawn, goes down to the kitchen, and starts making honey bread. Next come muffins, turnovers, cinnamon twists, single batches of different kinds of cookies, and a second batch of honey bread for later. He starts in on his deliveries at six-thirty. When he walks into Weir & Caldwell Accounting, the receptionist brightens and says, "Oh good, the bakery guy is here! Thanks!" That's basically all he ever hears her say. He doesn't mind.
