<blockquote>Well, Valancy thought, that was a proposal, no two ways about it.</blockquote> ➤ Odd but surprisingly fun! Don't know though that I'm fond of switching up who's in love first though, I don't think it makes sense for Barney to be that susceptible to love so soon without some time to settle into it, after his previous experience.

<blockquote>Such a cold response comes as a shock. He'd expected impassioned pleas from her-- he had been steeling himself to endure them. Instead, he is left to consider, with a sudden sense of foreboding, how formidable Nihuang could be as an enemy. Post-series, alternate ending. Lin Shu ends his engagement with Nihuang. Nihuang lets him. Jingyan finds this unacceptable.</blockquote> ➤ more identity fun! I definitely understand everything that's happening in this fic for a show I know nothing about! it's great anyway!

<blockquote>‘LONGEST NIGHT’ HAS BIGGEST NIGHT IN HOLLYWOOD HISTORY Jaime Lannister’s historical epic, starring Joffrey Baratheon as Aegon Targaryen and Margarey Tyrell as Queen Sansa, broke box office records last week with the largest opening weekend in history. The Lion Hand Studios production netted a whopping $400 million dragons in the domestic box office and shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. The film made headlines three months ago when the movie’s stars announced their romantic relationship on the heels of the dissolution of Baratheon’s engagement with Sansa Stark, who penned the script. Although Baratheon claimed the split with Stark was amicable, sources close to the former couple insist it was anything but. “Joffrey wanted someone to make him famous, and as soon as Sansa wrote a movie for him that did just that, he left her in the dirt.”</blockquote> ➤ Didn't grab me right away but really enjoyed it once it got past the epistolary stuff

<blockquote>Arya is the only one of them to have met the Targaryen’s Young Dragon, and even then it had been a short battlefield acquaintance when the Ironborn had tried to take the Rock and a hasty alliance had been formed to push them back. Arya had come back from the south covered in blood and filth and said, he’s adequate, I suppose, which meant he probably was the greatest living swordsman.</blockquote>

<blockquote>What if Rick had been a medjai from the start? One decision sets the adventure in motion, but the thing about decisions is that there's always more than one option to choose. Some things unfold differently, yes, but some manage to fall into place like the tumblers on a puzzle-box key, turning round and round until things go click.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Two cousins and former comrades in arms -- one in London to accompany his sister through her first Season, the other convalescing at home in Essex -- must re-acclimatize to civilian life as they encounter Polite Society, a plot to murder a marchioness, and, most dangerously of all, romance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>“It might be better for you to die,” Obi-Wan muses as she holds her children in her arms. Padmé looks up at him and arches an eyebrow. “I didn’t mean literally,” he clarifies. “I know what you meant. I’m thinking about it.” Padmé survives childbirth, dies as far as the rest of the galaxy is concerned, takes her children with Obi-Wan, and runs. Pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Inasmuch as anyone can be prepared for a magical creature to appear in front of their eyes and tell them they need to help save the world from evil, Bellamy Blake is ready for it. Which basically means he has Hulu and Crunchyroll set up on Miller's old Wii, and his little sister really likes magical girl anime.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Snow White and Rose Red live peacefully in the forest with their mother, but their earliest memories are of a different life: a blighted homeworld and a journey through the stars. A winter visitor and a falling star lead them on a journey to discover the truth about their home and about their own mysterious powers.</blockquote> ➤ what an interesting and great scifi reimagining of snow white & rose red, that actually makes some sense of the weirdness of the story

<blockquote>Clarke's senior year of college did not go well: her friends didn't like her girlfriend, she rethought her entire life plan, and then her girlfriend dumped her. So, needless to say, she's feeling pretty nervous about her five-year reunion. Asking her best friend to come along and pose as her boyfriend seems like a great idea. Then the Blake siblings happen to them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>When Bahorel wakes up on Wednesday morning, the sun is shining brighter than it has for months, and he can hear birds chirping away like something out of a Disney movie. Then his mom calls up, “Bahorel, get ready for school!” and he thinks: Well, fuck that. It’s a beautiful day, and life is too short to spend it in school learning about economics and dead people. [Ferris Bueller's Day Off AU]</blockquote> ➤ OH NO HOW IS THIS SO PERFECT

<blockquote>In another world, Geoffrey Tennant is a man haunted. No, wait. In another world, Geoffrey Tennant is haunted by a very specific ghost. This Geoffrey Tennant sticks to generalities, thanks.</blockquote> ➤ the tone and the voices and so forth are absolutely perfect, and if postcardmystery errs as usual too far on the side of sparse to the point of things being occasionally incomprehensible, at least for this fic it works

<blockquote>The one where they're all in fandom.</blockquote> ➤ ...Goddamn, I read this and it BREAKS MY HEART that the links are all face because OH MY GOD I NEED THIS BARRAYAR FANDOM TO EXIST. Reading posts like this are EXACTLY how I get into all of my fandoms, and doing it for a fandom that doesn't actually exist and yet sounds awesome is just...TRAGIC. Because this fic has totally pimped me hard into the nonexistent Barrayar
