<blockquote>Jonathan’s life was fine. He didn’t need other people. He studied them instead, like fire ants on the abandoned edge of the playground; carefully, with a stick and good shoes, watching their patterns and keeping his observations to himself, figuring out which ones to leave alone and which ones would make good surprises in bullies’ backpacks. Other people were tools, in the multiple definitions of the word. He used them. He didn’t like them. He didn’t need them. He was fine. All in all, it wasn’t difficult to stay a virgin until he turned thirty. A JGY-centric, Cherry Magic-inspired AU.</blockquote> ➤ (Jonathan is jgy's english name) ➤ I loved how so many of the characters in this fic have different relationships with sex (and intimacy and touch in general!) in ways that don't line up with societal expectations but are still all very different from each other ➤ series consists of: Point of Contact Cabin Pressure

<blockquote>Start at the cleave of it, not at Zed’s meat death or Ep’s centuries-long destruction, but at the moment that Zed halves his own mind and walks away. Or as was reported in the internal memorandum, the moment when Pilot-Commander Zeta San Tano killed himself at his infinite post on the M.K.S. Epsilon, leaving behind an empty airlock and a crippled starship unable to communicate, limping its way home after battle, carrying a full complement of soldiers. When the ship returned to base, the staff at Amalgam Research tried to parse whether the M.K.S. Epsilon was aware of Commander Zeta’s upcoming suicide. It must have been. The M.K.S. Epsilon was functionally equivalent to Zeta San Tano. To speak of one was to speak of the other. But without Zed, Ep was silent.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Obi-Wan discovers that the rumor about what happens to Force-sensitive Humans who are virgins when they turn thirty is true.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Qin Su frowns up at him with her hands on her hips. How did you know what I was thinking? she does not say, but he hears just the same. Jin Zixuan blinks at her. I heard you, he thinks carefully. Can you hear me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Accidentally cursed, Lan Qiren is forced to live within Wei Wuxian's mind for days, experiencing his every thought and sensation. Much as he disapproves of demonic cultivation, resistant as he is to every excuse, he can't help growing to understand the young cultivator. After leaving Lan Zhan to his important work as the Chief Cultivator, Wei Wuxian travels the world. Adventuring, righting wrongs, and developing new talismans is great fun, but what he really wants is a home.</blockquote> ➤ tbh I wish there was more of wwx and lqr interacting after the curse was broken? but I also did love what the fic actually did instead too

<blockquote>Wei Ying, virgin and noted heterosexual, gets hit with a curse of an unusual nature on his 30th birthday — through physical contact, he can read the minds of others around him. Enter Lan Zhan, hot former rival and current coworker, whose true thoughts about Wei Ying are nothing like he expects. (A loose Cherry Magic AU)</blockquote> ➤ the one where you get ~cursed~ if you're still a virgin by your 30th birthday

<blockquote>The good news is that Lan Jingyi has found a mentor, friend, and constant companion through the difficulties in life. The bad news is that that’s because he’s been accidentally possessed by the Yiling Patriarch.</blockquote> ➤ I LOVE THIS FIC SO MUCH

<blockquote>Relatively speaking, GQ actually feels pretty okay when he wakes up in Medical. It's not the worst thing that's ever happened to him. He's got all his limbs; he can feel them. His eyes are both still there, and he can open them. His teeth are all in the right places in his mouth. He blinks once, twice, and even before he turns his head—Croc's right there with him, and he knows it. "Hey," Croc says, and looks at him for a long moment. GQ swallows. "I can feel you," Croc says quietly. "You still feel me?"</blockquote>

<blockquote>It was only a training exercise. It was only supposed to be a training exercise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Paul Davis has had a telepathic connection Jack O'Neill since the situation in 'Foothold.' Jack and Daniel are late returning from an offworld mission, and Paul knows why.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The aliens make them say 'I love you.'</blockquote>

<blockquote>Jensen shifted his gaze to Cougar. “I really thought that if I ever had to say the words ‘telepathic disaster,’ it’d be a lot cooler than this is turning out to be.”</blockquote> ➤ telepathy and also truth-telling

<blockquote>After Laurence is thrust into his new role as an aviator he wonders if sudden-onset telepathy is a typical part of the captain-dragon bond. He tries to find out without asking, and Temeraire is largely unhelpful.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Podfic of Toft's fic "On Solitude." Jack and Stephen accidentally become telepathically bonded, but Stephen still has to complete his mission in Minorca.</blockquote> ➤ what an amazing podfic of an amazing fic. highly recommended!

<blockquote>All evening, Combeferre had been acting peculiar. The difference from his normal behavior was not a dramatic one; it was merely that he seemed somehow on edge. Several times he glanced at Bahorel in evident surprise, seemed about to speak, checked himself and was silent; on every occasion, Bahorel had been quiet himself, or saying something unremarkable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>A Mongol woman warrior, a Chinese princess who overthrew the Emperor, a cross-dressing French writer and an Egyptian inventor-mathematician help a city of quasi-Roman lesbians to outwit and defeat a host of aliens who treat humans as toys to be tested to destruction. Also features clockpunk attack robots, lesbian kissage, assorted dinosaurs and a telepathic pteranodon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Jack and Stephen accidentally become telepathically bonded, but Stephen still has to complete his mission in Minorca.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"John," Rodney's mind-voice trembled, "Would you ever... want to pair with me?" "There's nothing more that I've ever wanted than to cradle our egg with my feet," John told him. "Aside from flying." "Well, yeah," Rodney said, "I'm working on that."</blockquote>

➤ accidental alien-drink related telepathy between Jack and Daniel

➤ the one where an ancient device temporarily gives Rodney telepathy.
