<blockquote>So, as a queer person who grew up in rural Canada and had my queer revelations a little later in life than some, I found myself having a lot of feelings about Patrick. This fic is my attempt to write those feelings down. I hope you like it.</blockquote> ➤ this is my THIRD TIME attempting to actually successfully save this bookmark so this attempt at writing my feelings might be a little more curtailed, sigh. ➤ Excellent queer rural cdn content, excellent queer community & friendship, excellent relationship stuff. ➤ One major annoyance: storybeats covered in show are skimmed over in fic, bc the reader's assumed to have seen the show. As someone who hasn't actually watched the show, this meant that some relatively important moments in the fic have their pacing feel all wrong because things are summed up and moved beyond way too quickly. Still v good tho

<blockquote>Six months after a snowboarding accident derails his entire life, Jin’s got a job teaching rich little children to board. He’s doing just fine.

(They’re not.)</blockquote> ➤ I like how much focus there is on the various friendships as well as on the romance arc

<blockquote>Jade was the sort of backwoods girl who had a map of the countryside tattooed on her heart, and she could feel it in her bones when the pieces of her world shifted. So when the new family moved into the house across the road that late summer, she felt ripples of wrongness radiating out from them and their too-bright clothes, their bizarrely old-fashioned wood-paneled station wagon, and their rolling words that felt just a little to the left of normal. “Time travelers,” said Jade’s brother, watching them from the window the day they moved in. Jade stood nearby, not daring to move or breathe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Haruhi said to the stranger, "The food's good, isn't it? Have you tried the small quiches?" She'd spoken English on the assumption that most people in the room would likely understand it, but when the man turned it became apparent that he was Japanese. Haruhi knew this because she recognised his face. It was the face of Japan's ace skater, Katsuki Yuuri. "K-K-Katsuki Yuuri-senshu!" Haruhi clapped her hand over her mouth, feeling the blood rise to her face. "Ah," said Katsuki. He was different off the ice. His spectacles reduced the impact of his eyes, and the shape of his face was somehow softer, less distinctive. "Do I know you?"  / Yuuri makes a friend. Viktor hates it.</blockquote> ➤ I don't know the fandom yoi is crossed over with but the knowledge is unnecessary for appreciating the fic

<blockquote>Friends do things together. :)</blockquote>

But he can't escape his past so easily, or perhaps at all, particularly not when he meets someone who walks under a similar shadow ... Three years post-canon.</blockquote> ➤ about a friendship between Idra and that quiet awkward sister (Paru Tethimin) of the dude who did the betraying

<blockquote>Helpful coping mechanisms for an excess of solid weight that you didn't have yesterday include shouting, ranting, sulking, hiding, and occasionally sitting in blessed silence while your best friend pretends to be a plant.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"If you, my reader, have enough freedom from other serious matters to attend to this, I ask that you read my essay through, harboring neither contempt nor lack of sympathy, and that you ponder whether anything is sweeter or more desirable than a friend, one with whom you may talk about anything just as freely and safely as with yourself, and one who equally rejoices with you in all good, happy times and warms you with consolation in adversities. Such a friend, I know, is not easily found, and once found, may be lost, causing great torment to your soul. The passing of Roscius was such a heavy loss to me that I feel compelled to express this eulogy in the hope that it may help perpetuate or even enhance his memory. When posterity names the three or four most notable, long-standing pairs of friends, I hope the friendship of Minus Roscius and Philippo Beroaldo will be among them." Beroaldo, Filippo, 1500, Oratio Proverbiorum, Bologna. Translated in Beroaldo, Filippo, 2009, “Appendix B: English Translation of Filippo Beroaldo’s Symbola Pythagorica (1503),” in Christiane L. Joost-Gaugier, Pythagoras and Renaissance Europe: Finding Heaven, Cambridge, 248-265.</blockquote>

<blockquote>David desperately wants to be Jack's friend and ally. Jack doesn't know what he wants. There's probably a preordained plan for both of them, but they're going to have to work out the details on their own.</blockquote> ➤ written because author and recipient were annoyed that Jack and David weren't friends in the show

➤ female friendship in marvel comics

<blockquote>"The army offered you wings, Stark offered you a spot on his payroll." Natasha thumbs the join of the cardboard sleeve on her cup. "You've declined. I wondered why." "I have a job to do here," Sam says. He pushes off the floor with one foot, rocking his chair back against the wall. "Pretty important one, actually."</blockquote>

<blockquote>Two indecent exposure citations, one best friend, one amazing sex partner, one unexpected mentor, and a Starfleet-funded study of intercultural sexual norms. Sounds like a normal academic year for Gaila.</blockquote>
