Buzzfeed RPF | 4:21 | PG | Gen/GSF
Music: The Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang
Summary: "Let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel." Or: What WILL they try next?
+ [The Try Guys are independent of Buzzfeed now, but a lot of the footage from this is from there (all of it, maybe?) and I am going to tag them as Buzzfeed (forever, probably).] They're fun, and always so enthusiastic and silly and this More Joy Day vid captures that perfectly, and is a joy. Dancing, costumes, comedy, nudity, animals (fuzzy and otherwise), eroticism, and general shenanigans.
Let's Get Into The Theories bybessyboo
Buzzfeed RPF | 2:28 | G | Ryan & Shane
Music: I've Got A Theory/Bunnies/If We're Together from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Summary: I've got a theory.
+ This vid is perfect - A+ usage of semi-unusual audio. Adorable light comedy.
even the stars hide away bythingswithwings
Community | 3,346 words | PG-13 | Troy/Abed
Summary: Troy and Abed meet the in-laws.
+ This feels very real, how young they are in some ways, the difficulty of navigating relationships with family, the way you compartmentalise bits of yourself. Abed and Troy are so supportive of each other and growing great. It's wonderful.
my words will be your light bydollsome
Game of Thrones | 1,473 words | G | Sansa/Tyrion
Summary: Sansa and Tyrion have another conversation. Set after 8x01.
+ I have not watched this show but I ship it. This is very much post-episode shipping fic with (I think at the time?) canon-compliant relationship development, talking things out on the way to moving forward together. Quiet.
meditations ex post facto bysinglecrow
Guardian | 9,253 words | PG | Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Summary: "It is very tedious,” Professor Shen agrees, setting down his cup of tea. “I admire your forbearance.”
“I have no forbearance,” Zhao Yunlan assures him. “I get drunk a lot and throw things.”
or, the lawyers AU that no one asked for.
+ This is one of my favourite things I've read in years. It's this beautiful unfurling of things; it feels like spring. The structure of the AU is great - the role transfer from SI to municipal legal counsel is stellar, the characterisation is spot-on all around and there's taking care of each other and backing each other up, and dealing with West Wing-type problems and the Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan dynamic is keyboard smash levels of perfect. There's identity stuff in this and hjfkhlgdjkgkkjlfdjl;gada.
Ordinary Numbers byBootsnBlossoms and Kryptaria
James Bond | 44,168 words | PG-13 | James/Q
Summary: More than anything, Mike Taylor wanted to be ordinary. Being a genius, he learned early in life, meant people expected too much. A career at the MI6 Help Desk seemed the perfect way to guarantee a lifetime of obscurity, until he got a very unusual tech support call.
+ Q is hyper-competent in spite of himself and a tech snafu leads to Bond adopting him as his personal mission tech support; they basically accidentally fall in love with each other over a series of phone calls and woo the shit out of each other, like, this is kind of curtain!fic where they haven't met and then they figure out and deal with the fact that they're in a relationship at the end. Office fic with a tiny bit of identity porn en route to a more canon compliant ending, includes action sequences and peril.
I Did Something Bad byjarrow
Killing Eve | 3:46 | R | Eve/Villanelle
Music: I Did Something Bad by Taylor Swift
Summary: It just felt so good.
+ Source material I haven't seen. Revelatory and progressively darker narrative. Blood and knives, guns and poison, violence and unravelling.
Little bit more byblithesea
Killing Eve | 2:25 | R | Eve/Villanelle
Music: Little Bit More by Tony C. And The Truth
Summary: Villanelle being gleefully psychopathic. Sandra Oh's face.
+ Violent lesbians to bad-ass country. The treatment of murder in this vid reminds me of the Dexter aesthetic.
Still The One (That's In Love With You) bylilly_the_kid
Marvel | 1:57 | PG | Eddie/Venom
Music: Still The One by Ingrid Michaelson
you saved my life, I'll save yours too
+ this has some really great characterisation bits while also simultaneously being fluffy tentacle monster goo
Melodrama bymithborien
Marvel | 2:52 | PG | Gamora & Nebula
Music: Melodrama by Lorde
Summary: "You were the one who wanted to win. I just wanted a sister!"
A Gamora & Nebula fanvid during GOTG2.
+ Fraught, full of feelings, very pretty.
the family brooklyn bytactfulGnostalgic
Marvel | 12,874 | PG-13 | Miles Morales
Summary: New York is notoriously protective of its superheroes.
+ This made me cry, almost - dry ugly sobs - they just love him so much and want to take care of him. ...and it's also slice of life about Miles figuring out how to be a superhero - stuff about copyright law and other practical stuff, and Brooklyn is tagged as a character and this is like John/Atlantis fic; it's Miles/Brooklyn and it's beautiful. The feels snuck up on me and punched me in the gut.
The Fifties bysperanza
Marvel | 28,185 words | NC-17 | Bucky/Steve/Peggy
Summary: "Because everything's all right, isn't it?" Bucky said. "Everything's great. I'm so happy; I never thought I could be this happy. You're happy, too, aren't you, Peg?"
+ Poly fic with relationship and career discussion and development along with some great sci-fi.
Bad Girls byelipie
Ocean's 8 | 3:41 | PG | Lou/Debbie
Music: Bad Girls by M.I.A.
Summary: If you're going to have a problem with stealing, then you're not going to like the rest of this conversation.
+ Excellent recruiter vid, solid vibe and femslash. Stylishly bad-ass lady criminals getting what they want.
a country you remember bywaspabi
Rivers of London | 1,355 words | G | Molly
Summary: When a girl goes into service, people like to think she pledges fealty to the family, but that isn’t true. She serves the house.
+ when I make that home rec set, this is meant to be in it. Molly finding a home and being part of it - excellent character study and house spirit fic, basically.
The Rock and The River byRhea
Spirited Away | 17,442 | PG-13 | Chihiro/Haku
Summary: Chihiro takes magic and bends it around herself to make a place in the world.
+ I think there's a few errant SPAG issues with this but I don't quite remember and sort of don't give a shit because this fic is awesome. College and part time jobs and finding and building your place in the world and magic and living. Food porn and long-distance relationships, also.
What Buddies Know About Love bybusaikko
Stargate: Atlantis | 5,432 words | G | John/Ronon
Summary: Ronon's making his own future; John's there for him. Ronon thinks it's time to take the next step in their relationship; John has reservations. Neither of them wants to talk about it, but they do anyway. (Contains canon pairings).
+ Language and culture and finding your person. John is ace in this and Ronon essentially proposes and I love them. Domesticity and therapy and taking care of each other and tattoos, also. Funny and sweet.
Your First Time Should Be Special byHelenish
Star Trek | 6,650 words | NC-17 | Kirk/Spock
The thing about being a captain of a starship is that you forget how to break up with people; the starship is a gigantic, unmistakable clue that you're probably not sticking around.
+ Relationship development with Jim taking it slow for Spock and having a bunch of self-worth issues that he's unable to express. There's some offscreen Bones and Spock friendship stuff that I really enjoyed, also, along with the Bones and Kirk stuff.
Somewhere to Start bylissadiane
Teen Wolf | 33,552 | PG-13 | Derek/Stiles
Summary: Stiles has always known that he isn't quite human - the plant life that tends to sprout around him whenever he gets upset or excited gives it away. He's never really fit in among the regular people in Beacon Hills and is determined to wait it out, go to college, and find somewhere to belong. He's forced to abandon those plans, however, after he desperately agrees to enter into an arranged marriage to save his father's life.
An arranged marriage with an angry, sometimes furry dude with trust issues. It's all very Beauty and the Beast, without the singing candlesticks.
+ Enforced captivity, supernatural politics, and kids are key parts of this. It's an alive Hale family fic, Stiles has been cut off from the supernatural his whole life and then gets plunged into it and used as a pawn, Derek is surly and the whole thing is kind of fandom-takes-on-fairy-tales/magical-realism at its best. Solid long!fic.
