<blockquote>hdjngjjbg you guys earlier i was waiting at the bus stop just outside a bookstore and the owner, a little upper-middle aged man who gives off immense gay vibes, walked by on his way in and just. handed me a bag of fun size almond joy????</blockquote>

<blockquote>It takes awhile for Laurence to get accustomed to aviator culture.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Julian wakes lying on his front, with a mild but insistent headache, an uncomfortably dry throat, and a dim sense that the bed he's in is not his own. And he's right: it's Garak's. Because he and Garak got possibly a little bit too drunk at Quark's, and then possibly also a little bit married on top of it, and there's just no way this is going to be anything but a disaster.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"Mmf," said Shiro, catching crumbs with his robot hand, and then he chewed and swallowed and looked arrested. "Wow, that's really good." He looked around at them all and said, "Do you guys realise you're not talking when you do that?"</blockquote> ➤ I don't know who anyone is or what's going on but I am charmed and this is charming! ➤ (note: platonic team soulbond!)

<blockquote>Jupiter discovers that the one thing Caine Wise wants most in life is to be a pretty pretty bride on his wedding day. And she sets out to make that happen. Look, I'll be frank: this is over 7000 words of pure self-indulgence. My only hope is that it scratches an itch for my recipient as well.</blockquote> ➤ I almost didn't read this but I'm so glad I did because I am SUPER CHARMED

<blockquote>“Do you think,” Madeline said to Honoria as the more impressive parts of nature gradually crept up upon them, “that all daffodils are the daughters of sunlight?”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Damen steals Nikandros' thunder. "I’m going to ride home tomorrow and begin preparations to ask for her hand,” Nikandros says, and Laurent smiles wider and says, “Oh, wonderful,” as Damen leaps to his feet with a thundering crash of chair against flagstone. “Nikandros!” he shouts, papers flying, arms wide, “This— amazing! She sounds amazing! Congratulations!”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Victor wishes he had a collection of Yuuri's memorabilia. Yuuri doesn't think there is any. Yuri Plisetsky knows better. Just a silly-sweet thing, set about six months after the show. Relationships in the background and the Otayuri is very slight.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Jessika has more important things to do than gossip about Dameron and Finn or daydream about Rey. Pity she's not getting around to them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Prompt: This wasn’t meant to be a date, but we’ve had such a good time and now it’s 2 a.m. and I should really go home… Pairing: T'Pring/Uhura (T'Pura) Rating: G Universe: Academy AU</blockquote>

➤ this is a free audiobook download that I have saved to my computer, hence why this bookmark isn't actually a link. A time-travel romance in which a Roman soldier ends up in the regency period and meets a bluestocking. 40 min long, I'm guessing on the wordcount.

<blockquote>‘You’re impossible,’ Yuri says, picking up a robe to wrap himself in. ‘I’ll get the 1989.’ Minami watches him go, and then turns to find Viktor watching him watching. ‘Ah,’ Minami says, and Viktor wonders for a second if he’s going to apologise. That’s happened before, and it always makes Viktor feel weird. He’s the one who commissions Yuri’s competition costumes, after all: how anyone could think he has a problem with other people checking out his husband, given that, is a mystery to him. He likes it, likes knowing that other people want what he, Viktor, has got.</blockquote>

<blockquote>By a strange combination of good luck and good friends, in fact, Phichit Chulanont has slept with a surprising number of people in the international skating scene. And most of them in groups. He’d like to say this was Christophe’s fault, but probably only half of the cases were.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Yuri wouldn’t categorically say that he’s moping. It’s just a crush, after all, and Yuri is fine. He is in control of his feelings. He hasn’t even checked Otabek’s Instagram account today yet! So, it’s completely unjustified that both Victor and Yuuri are holding this thing they aren’t calling an intervention for him. (Or, the Companion Fic to the one where Otabek pines for years.)</blockquote> ➤ Yuri's pov on the events of "But I'm Not There Yet"

<blockquote>There's two types of dates Victor and Yuri go on in St. Petersburg. Yuri likes them both.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"Long time readers of my work will know that I think the debate over whether a woman can have it all is nonsense. No individual woman, no individual person, can have it all, whatever "all" is supposed to be. But one of the measures of maturing is knowing what it is you do want, and working to attain it. What would it take to turn a Supergirl into a Superwoman? What does she want to be when she grows up?"</blockquote>

<blockquote>It started out as a joke, socked feet on hardwood flooring, but somehow the pair skate became something much more for Yuri and Otabek in the end.</blockquote> ➤ the image of them doing SOCK PAIRS is just too amazing

<blockquote>Yuri convinces Otabek to get snapchat, just to send selfies of himself making faces at Victor and Yuuri. He gets more than he expected.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Tisarwat was fascinated by Piat's gloves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Don fell in love with her immediately. Cosmo took a little longer. (Only a little, though.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>‘It is no good asking me,’ Laurence said at last, pushing the pattern-book away over breakfast, ‘I am not the one–’ Not the one who would be living with the result, he had been about to say. But they had hardly accepted Tharkay’s invitation as casual houseguests.</blockquote>

<blockquote>A new country, a new language.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Somewhere in the galaxy, there is a concept of free time. That place is not the royal palace of Naboo.</blockquote>

<blockquote>It wasn’t that Jack was an unreasonable person, of course. He understood how things were supposed to work, that there was an order to them, and that deviations from that order led to problems that ranged from “Top NHL Draft Prospect Drops Out of Hockey, Drops in to Rehab” to “this might be a little hard to explain.” It was just that Eric Bittle made him forget that order.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Spock likes McCoy. McCoy won't take a hint.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"I'm here to ask for help - not in any official capacity, just from one person who's a shitty dancer to someone who's actually kind of terrific at it."</blockquote>

<blockquote>It was the Queer as Folk that tipped him off. But for the four months leading up to it, Gautam just blamed his brother.</blockquote> ➤ In which Gautam has a friendship with a ghost in his apartment, who talks to him via movie titles pulled up on Gautam's netflix account

<blockquote>“I dare you,” Kent said, echoing himself through years and miles. How many times did shit go terribly, terribly wrong in Juniors because of Kent Parson looking at Jack that way and saying those words? “No way,” Jack said. “Aren't we a little mature for that now, Parse?” “I double dog dare you,” Parse said. And. Well. Or: Jack wakes up married to Kent Parson. It's annoying.</blockquote> ➤ it's neat to see a fic where the woke-up-married couple is not actually the fic's ship. treated with basically zero angst, which is also nice.
