<blockquote>"The king is dead," says Samuels. "Long live the king." A story about fealty and destiny, spies and secrets, and the things we do to hold onto power.</blockquote> ➤ okay this one actually is as good as frostfire's fic, though in different ways. I'll probably still reread frostfire's fic more often though because it's shorter

<blockquote>Steve Rogers isn't a self-made man. Or, how a tough little Brooklyn fairy got turned into Captain America, and then turned back.</blockquote> ➤ GOSH. thoroughly researched and with a lot of heart. I had feelings.

<blockquote>Kathy tweaked his nose and skipped ahead of him. "You know, Cosmo, Don and I may love you for your brains--" "Excuse me! I resent that remark! You love me for my unerring sense of comic timing." "--But not everyone is so forgiving."</blockquote>

<blockquote>The plan comes apart almost as soon as the three of them enter the prison. Poe thought they were doing pretty good until that point. They got into the spaceport with their cover identities in place, made it onto the ship that delivers supplies and new prisoners to Kedai Station in the far Outer Rim, survived the trip with a bunch of bad-tempered and legitimate criminals with nothing more than some bruises and a headache, and got shoved through intake until they were finally spat out as official residents. The whole process had felt like being digested, but they had a mission to accomplish, so they tried to blend in and not get involved in any trouble. Poe assured Finn and Rey over and over that they’d be smuggled out on the same ship that brought them in, job done and back to base. So of course things start to go wrong immediately.</blockquote> ➤ I love the OCs, and the intense horrible feeling of the place pressing down on our characters is really effective.

<blockquote>Mark is pretty sure there's something up here with him, hunting him.</blockquote> ➤ tagged with "psychological horror" and holy crap, this is really good and intense/effective. I am deeply hoping that the demon-alien was just a figment of Mark's mind because otherwise there's MORE of them there on Mars for future missions to have to deal with and just NO. (also the relationship stuff was good))

<blockquote>BURR Secretary Hamilton, belay that shouting! You protest too much, there's certainly no doubting the other figments of your own brain would agree, and so far there's been seven, plus me--but who's counting?</blockquote> ➤ HOLY CRAP. I am seriously impressed.

<blockquote>Shitty Knight takes a post-graduation road trip. Four friends, six thousand miles, two tents, several embarrassing photos, a giant rabbit, three cops, and a bear.</blockquote> ➤ OH NO TOO MANY FEELS. How delighted am I that the resolution is poly, and poly where only some of the people involved are actually interested in having sex with each other? SO DELIGHTED. (also Lardo's nonbinaryness was great)

<blockquote>The request that resulted in these stories was "Long, plotty threesome fic with UST, manful British repression, and stuff with the dragons".</blockquote> ➤ series contains two stories: ➤ "Faithful in the Performance: <blockquote>On board the Allegiance, Laurence has a lot of time to think. Granby and Tharkay try to talk him out of it.</blockquote> ➤ "From, and To, and Why": <blockquote>Laurence's talent for repression, Tharkay's for self-denial, and Granby's for exploding when he just can't take it anymore finally come to a head. Also, Temeraire and Iskierka nearly get everyone killed.</blockquote> ➤ In which the characters are all extremely themselves, and I was strongly overcome with feelings about everything

<blockquote>verity: man I am pretty sure the dupont nylon shortage is the grounds for a fic verity: imagine what steve would do to get peggy some nylons lazulisong: imagine what bucky would do to get steve nylons for peggy</blockquote>

<blockquote>As a /supervillain /supercriminal contract worker with a morality deficit, Clint Barton leads a glamorous life. You know, stolen cars, dangerous women, a really confusing relationship with a meddling do-gooder, the works. It's pretty awesome. Except for, uh, medical bills, the mob, and being on the run all the time. That part isn't all that awesome. (A supervillain AU where Clint shoots arrows at people and gets beat up a lot. So, not really that much of an AU.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Romeo/Julia/Tybalt IN SPACE!</blockquote>

<blockquote>A story about the benefits of cultural exchange, contraception, the downsides to television stardom, and what counts as pre-watershed in the Pegasus galaxy.</blockquote> ➤ oh look, yet another why-was-this-not-already-bookmarked fic. ➤ Also, the one with the term "ice farmer"; I'd forgotten that was from this fic

<blockquote>No one noticed the one man who left the city gates on foot, following a flock of starlings winging towards Mantua. A sequel of sorts to sail upon the bosom of the air: a few things that might have happened next.</blockquote>

<blockquote>“I am enchanted with you,” said Bossuet, and these words, not chosen well, were spoken with the grace of somestairs trying to put pants on. (For the kinkmeme, prompt is: Canon-era AU where Musichetta is a famous soprano and Joly and Bossuet catch her eye when they come to the opera together.)</blockquote> ➤ OVERCOME BY FEELS

<blockquote>Skilled men cunningly carved upon me Letters fair, in a farwaway land. Since have I crossed the salt-streams often, Carried in ships to countries strange. (A Vikings AU, where Ragnar arrives at Lindisfarne in a rather different manner.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>It was just Rodney's luck that the guy with the strongest expression of the ATA gene on Earth was some lanky alpha who couldn't follow an order as basic as "don't touch anything."</blockquote>

<blockquote>After her father dies with the Ninth, Flavia is sent to Britannia to live with her uncle Aquila. There she meets a pair of British girls, and together the three of them change each other's lives in ways they could never have expected.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In which Vimes is Vetinari's bulldog, Vetinari is Vimes' headache, and they're both of them Lady Sybil's boys.</blockquote> ➤ ...huh, I never bookmarked this, did I. Oops. ➤ for related meta see: http://gyzym.tumblr.com/post/20243070479/sirona-gs-gyzym-things-i-always-rediscover

<blockquote>Ronon's evening mother is probably rolling in her grave right now.</blockquote> ➤ sequel is "all-of-a-kind family": http://verity.dreamwidth.org/713924.html

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

<blockquote>Tony Stark doesn't need to be safe, sane, and consensual. He has JARVIS instead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"Road trip," Abed says, nodding approvingly. "One car. Seven people. A country's worth of dramatic situations ripe for both comedy and tragedy."</blockquote>

<blockquote>an utterly self-indulgent crossover that got entirely out of hand</blockquote> ➤ sldkfjhdflksdjjfd look this is one of those fics that just STAYS IN MY BRAIN because of how true and perfect and right and wonderful it is. YESSSSS. I am so glad this fic exists.
