I accidentally scrapped my tabs this week; that was fun.

So, a post-scramble link dump:

Help I'm Alive by AudreyV
But I'm a Cheerleader | 3:30 | PG-13 | Graham/Megan
Summary: Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
Song: Help I'm Alive by Metric
+ I love this song choice so much and this is such a great narrative vid.

Another Bad Habit by blacktofade
Buzzfeed RPF | 10,238 words | NC-17 | Ryan/Shane
Summary: Shane has a thing for virgins, which Ryan just so happens to be.
+ The author's note starts "What’s up, virginity is a bullshit patriarchal social construct, but i am weak for so-called late bloomers and this is fiction." A+ voices and lead-up.

Keeping Out the Cold by blacktofade
Buzzfeed RPF | 28,044 words | NC-17 | Ryan/Shane
Summary: After a strange ghostly encounter, Ryan and Shane begin sharing visions via a telepathic bond. AKA: the In Your Eyes AU that no one asked for.
+ unwanted telepathy is always where it's at, and this one was a little twisty - interesting take on the trope

Will Wonders Never Cease by porcupinegirl
Check Please! | 56,840 words | PG-13 | Jack/Bitty
Summary: Eric has landed his dream job: social media manager for the Providence Falconers! Not only does he get paid to tweet, for an NHL team at that, but it’s a job where he’ll be able to make good use of his magic - when nobody’s looking, of course. Everyone on the Falconers is a joy to work with… with the notable exception of Jack Zimmermann. Eric understands that Jack doesn’t like social media, but he could certainly be a little more polite about it.
Luckily, Eric has support from his Samwell buddies, as well as his best friend - a man whose face he’s never seen, and whose name he doesn’t know. They met on an online forum where witches can gather anonymously, since it isn’t safe for them to advertise their existence in a world where magic isn’t trusted. They’ve been friends for years now, but Eric is only just starting to realize that he might have deeper feelings for someone he can never meet face-to-face.
+ because sometimes what you want to read is identity porn long!fic about online friendship and people being disappeared by the state. (I have some questions.)

The City Is At War by gwenfrankenstein
DCU | 2:51 | PG | Gen
Summary: Playtime for the young and rich.
Song: The City Is At War by Cobra Starship
+ The city is 90's Gotham, and the vid is nostalgia-inducing and fun.

First Noel by binz and shiplizard
Dresden Files | 12,535 words | PG | Gen
Summary: 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through Chicago... quite a few things were stirring, actually.
+ Pre-canon, kid!Harry, Bob, and Marcone dodge the wild hunt in Chicago. This was great.

Lovegood by TrisB
Harry Potter | 257 words | G | Luna
She kept her lonely in an elder wood box with silent hinges and a smooth, irregular grain.
+ sad and sweet character study

A Wizard Did It by ctimene
Marvel | 7,884 words | NC-17 | Matt/Foggy
“You want to name yourself after weather?”
“I have been a sentient statue on top of various churches for six centuries, I am all in for weather.”
+ Crack!fic taken seriously is always the best. Foggy saves Matt, and they fall in love.

hurry up now (it's only getting colder) by returnsandreturns
Marvel | 2,326 words | NC-17 | Matt/Foggy
“Matt,” Foggy repeats. “Thanks for the help, Matt, and I hate to say this because you seem really cool, but you’re way too hot and nobody’s gonna hit on me if you’re talking to me.”
“Oh, uhm—I was hitting on you?” Matt says, smiling awkwardly. “Or trying, at least. I don’t do this very often.”
+ This is tagged "fluff and smut"; that's accurate. :)

You Dance Dreams by lady_ragnell
Les Miserables | 61,252 words | NC-17 | Enjorlas/Grantaire
Summary: For most of college, Grantaire was hopeless over Enjolras, and everyone but Enjolras knew it. Now he’s worked to get over his crush, and for the most part, he's fine. When Combeferre asks him to choreograph and dance in the Midsummer Night’s Dream-inspired opera he composed as his senior thesis, Grantaire says yes, even though he’s cast opposite Enjolras, as Puck to his Oberon. The chance to dance is worth the potential problems, and he'll have his friends as a buffer.
He doesn't count on long hours of practicing and choreographing and talking together, while they try to figure each other and their futures out. As much as he tries to avoid it, it seems inevitable that he falls for Enjolras again, and this time it isn't a crush.
+ Words and words of music and dance nerds and repressed feelings. ♥ There is also friendship and poly triads, and that thing where everyone's graduating and needs to find a job somewhere.

Sort Of by anoel
Multifandom | 2:25 | PG-13 | Amy/Karma & Alex/Maggie
Summary: "Tons of queer girls fall for their best friends. It’s a common step in our evolution."
Song: Sort Of by Ingrid Michaelson
+ A Faking It and Supergirl vid about, yeah, falling for your best friend and the angst of that.

getting down to business by etben
Schitt's Creek | 3,579 words | NC-17 | David/Patrick
Summary: They’ve been dating for almost a month, and Patrick still hasn’t even seen David naked, much less had anything approaching sex. It’s completely unacceptable. He had more game than this in high school, which is pretty sad, all things considered.
Three and a half weeks of his hands and his imagination is more than enough, thanks.
OR: David and Patrick have some alone time. Patrick has some ideas.
+ I know Eugene Levy's kid from the Canadian version of bake-off and have never seen this show, but Patrick (not played by Dan) is the newly discovered queer one and he and David (played by Dan) are kind of adorable nerds.

Piracy Is Our Only Option by longwhitecoats
Sense and Sensibility | 1,041 | G | Margaret
Summary: Margaret becomes a privateer.
+ Letters from Margaret. This fic is a joy.

All The Stars And Bleeding Hearts by torakowalski
The Social Network RPF | 40,472 words | NC-17 | Andrew/Jesse
Summary: Notting Hill AU. In which Jesse runs a bookstore, Andrew is a famous film star and they’re both faily dorks in love.
+ Exactly what it says on the tin. This fic is like a hug.

Renegades by starlady
Star Wars | 3:15 | PG | Gen
Summary: Rebels and mutineers/Go forth and have no fear
Song: Renegades by X Ambassadors
+ This was great, though I learned that Star Wars can make me cry at like the drop of a hat now. It is a hopeful vid, though, full of bounce with a kind of marching pace.
