<blockquote>“It is a truth universally acknowledged that an ice skater in possession of a Grand Prix medal— of whatever metal—must be in want of another.” Jamie and Lizzy Bennet, a brother-sister ice dancing duo from Ann Arbor, Michigan, are no exception, and are determined to win gold at the Pyeongchang Olympics. Newfoundlander Charles Bingley, the Canadian champion for men’s singles skating, believes they can make it. His coach, Québécois two-time Olympic gold medalist, Fitzwilliam Darcy... does not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"I don't mess with the fae," Otabek says. "I'm not asking you to mess with them," JJ flat-out lies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The Regal Copper Laurentius accidentally acquires a captain, Tharkay spectates, Temeraire is Not Actually an Orphan, and no one really knows who's leading France.

<blockquote>A series of one-shots set in a universe where Vader turned double agent for the Rebellion about three years after ROTS, and Leia is now his primary contact with the Rebellion.</blockquote> ➤ I was surprised by how into this fic I was! Because I am the most predictable person, though, my favourite thing is the slave folk stories from Tatooine about the trickster figure Ekkreth. But really everything is great. ➤ 20 parts as of last checking (Feb 2020, but last updated in 2017): Shape-Changer Words in the Heart (Words in the Heart) Cannot Be Taken The Slave Who Makes Free Decryption Codes A Larger World The Emperor's Speech Optimal Functioning Trickster Steals the Moon Flowers for the Emperor Bedrock The Only Verdict Aftermath Trophies Children of the Force Empire Day The Unstolen Child Rocks and Water Sometimes as Many as Seven Apology Accepted

What could go wrong?</blockquote> ➤ the space opera rewrite of the story! the fic tags itself as marcus/esca slash but there's a few bare hints that that might be where things are going and that's all. it's functionally totally gen.

<blockquote>Miss Wilhelmina Laurence never leaves Nottinghamshire, and certainly not in the winter of 1805. When the Reliant captures an exhausted Amitie on her way out of a storm, Miss Laurence is grimly preparing for a country ball. Usually a merry occasion even for a confirmed spinster, this particular event is soured by the presence of Bertram Woolvey, who is likely to make Miss Laurence’s particular friend and neighbor an offer and therefore deprive her of her most beloved company.  When the queer porcelain egg hatches, several weeks later, and the officers are gathered around with the reluctant sacrifice stepping forward nervously, the black dragonet ignores them all. It takes seven men to hold the creature down long enough to harness it, even though it is a newborn. The dragonet does not stay silent for long, protesting at its treatment quite vehemently in both English and French–but it pays no attention to any man in particular, and seems in fact to resent them all. The officers are relieved as well as unsettled. They do not name it, but make for Madeira with all speed. </blockquote>

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

<blockquote>The Young Avengers' band is also called The Young Avengers, because they're very subtle. They've written three songs together: "Destroy You," "Superpowered," and "Unnatural Love," which, given the percentage of people in the band with the same equipment fucking each other, you might think was about gay liberation, but actually chronicles the time Loki read them the juicy parts of Flowers in the Attic on a trip up the coast.</blockquote>

<blockquote>There are too many Elaines in the lab.</blockquote> ➤ holy crap I am SO INTO THIS FIC

<blockquote>flytely asked: Eponine/Cosette & Pirate AU?</blockquote>

<blockquote>First Officer Spock of the USS Enterprise is part of the away team that discovers the survivors of Tarsus IV. Captain Pike assigns him to the curious case of James Tiberius Kirk, who steals one of Spock's sweaters. There were no sufficient Vulcan poetics to describe the emptiness of the colony as it was found on the morning of stardate 2249.43. The fully-completed residential sector was neither ugly nor beautiful but simply remote; a hollow landscape of metal alloys and sensible architecture, with determined vegetation growing alongside the support beams. They did not flower.</blockquote> ➤ This is the problem with bookmarking fics waaaaay after I read them: I no longer remember my opinions! And this is entirely too long to reread to remind myself. I'm pretty sure I thought it was awesome, iirc?

<blockquote>Alanna of Trebond, fresh from the convent, does not want her father to marry her off to some lord. So she goes to the Dancing Dove to see if she can hire someone to pretend to court her. She just doesn't realize she's gotten the Rogue himself. Notes: This should definitely be way angstier and full of Roger killing people and taking over the country because Alanna and Thom didn't switch places, so she wasn't there to stop him. But I went the fluffy fake dating path because that is my favorite path. I also totally made up how courting works, because I can.</blockquote> ➤ INTO ITTTT ➤ sequel ("Six Days at the Bottom of the Ocean") at http://archiveofourown.org/works/2338439

<blockquote>Prince S'chn T'gai Spock of Vulcan, engaged to Prince James Tiberius Kirk of Earth through an arrangement made by their parents many years ago, writes to his intended on the day of his birth in the interest of diplomacy. Jim is not interested in diplomacy. Though there is no precedent set for the commencement of a written correspondence begun due to these specific parameters, I will strive to maintain, to the best of my abilities and with ample preparatory research previously conducted, the appropriate level of formality between us, based on a number of factors, primarily examples of a similar nature.</blockquote> ➤ particularly good characterization-wise. ➤ I liked the first part that was all epistolary the best.

<blockquote>George Cooper sees Alan Olau working at a coffee shop. For some reason, Alan has breasts now.</blockquote> ➤ Series consists of: Your Boys Have Grown Soft and Your Girls Have Gone Wild Catch You When the Current Lets You Go Catch You When the Current Lets You Go (Alanna POV) A History of Blisters Battle Born The Drop Dead Dream, The Chosen One You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Send My Condolences to Good Sometimes I Get Nervous When I See An Open Door Waiting on Some Beautiful Boy Gone Through Life White-Knuckled All I Want to Do Is Try My Regards to Soul and Romance Outside the Sun is Shining My Whole Life is Thunder Four Weddings and a Funeral Do It For the Vine Stewart's Coat Born a Little Damaged, Man Sometimes In Dreams of Impact I Still Hear I See London, I See Sam's Town Don't You Worry, It'll All Work Out When You Were Young Because I've Been Coming For You Or Are We Dancer?
