pursued by a bear

a tempest, a cyclone, a goddamned hurricane by Dialux
Game of Thrones | 57,809 | PG-13 | Sansa
Summary: There’s nobody named Lyarra in Winterfell, according to her father; the last person who bore that name was his mother, and she was buried decades ago.
Sansa speaks to her the next week.
Sansa can speak to ghosts, and this changes everything.
     + It's been a while but I remember this as, basically, how things might have gone if someone had actually bothered to teach Sansa about people and politics and supported her instead of not doing any of those things. And her teachers were ghosts, with ghostly agendas. Highly enjoyable.

Out of the Woods by such_heights
Good Omens | 3:53 | PG -13| Aziraphale/Crowley
Are we in the clear yet?
Music: Out of the Woods by Taylor Swift
     + The vid that broke my avoidance of footage of the new series. This is wonderful and perfect, a delightful voyage.

Queens by thingswithwings
Killjoys | 2:52 | R | Aneela/Delle Seyah
I met a girl, I met a goddess
and there were stars just burning in her eyes
Music: Witch by Be Steadwell
     + More source material I've not seen. The tension in this is great. Tags include "murder lesbians", "women ruling the galaxy", and "magical pregnancy".

Battle Cry by absternr
Marvel | 1:01 | G | America
Summary: They can't do anything that you're about to.
Music: Battle Cry by Angel Haze
     + I'm always here for America Chavez punching things, and this vid packs a dose of feelings, too.

Stress by findmeinthealps
Marvel | 4:23 | PG-13 | Tony
Summary: Everybody's thinking 'bout me.
Music: Stress by Jim's Big Ego
     + It's very Tony - his personality, his lifestyle, and the trumpets. (He's a trumpets kind of guy.) Spans all the films.

When We're High by mithborien
Marvel | 3:57 | PG | Steve/Thor
Summary: "New haircut?"
"Noticed you've copied my beard."
A Steve/Thor vid.
Music: When We're High by LP
     + This is a lot of fun and I am very much still processing it - explosions to sexy beats, mainstream action heroes doing action things (and not) to the same, comedy, and the general epic-ness of their selves and stories.

The Sun at Noon by elissastillstands
Merlin | 29,479 | PG-13 | Gwen/Morgana
Summary: “Do you think me too ambitious?” Morgana asks when they part.
Gwen presses her lips to the corner of Morgana’s mouth. "I think you noble, my lady."Gwen and Morgana in Camelot; the slow entwining of their lives, and the people they meet along the way. The weight of anger, of destiny, of silk and iron.
     + Get-together fic that's plotty, with court intrigue, magical schemes, and several lesbians.

Game On by bironic
Multifandom | 5:04 | PG
Summary: Ready, set... sports movies.
Music: Drinkee by Sofi Tukker
     + Originally conceived for Club Vivid, and made of so many sports, with feature films and documentaries intermingled, and some diversity represented. This would be excellent to dance to.

Waters of March by Tafadhali
Multifandom | 3:42 | PG
Summary: And the riverbank sings / Of the waters of March / It's the promise of Spring / It's the joy in your heart
A celebration of the films of Hayao Miyazaki.
Music: Waters of March by Anya Marina
     + A love letter to these Studio Ghibli films, containing friendships, trials, wars, adventures, and those beautiful landscapes.

Diplomatic Complications by Sixthlight
The Old Guard | 14,412 words | NC-17 | Joe/Nicky
Summary: There can be no misinterpretation or confusion on Yusuf’s part when what Duke Nicolò says is “But I didn’t want a husband, what does my brother think he’s doing?”
     + Old timey arranged marriage fic wherein everyone figures out that they should be together before Nicolò does, and a plot or two is uncovered. (I haven't seen this source material.)

nothing here that is not sacred by Sixthlight
The Old Guard | 7,517 words | NC-17 | Joe/Nicky
Summary: “I don’t want to fuck anybody,” Yusuf said, starting bluntly to save them both the trouble of specifics. “Or almost all the time, I do not.” (or: the one with slutty Nicolò and confused demisexual Yusuf)
     + Domesticity, sex, and communication. Pre-film fic.

start over (reset) by condnsdmlk
Star Trek | 3:15 | G
Summary: Five things that never happened to Voyager's crew – and one thing that did.
Music: Burn the Pages by Sia
     + Time travel stories, all the things reversed, and another that went a bit differently. I have a lot of feelings about pocket stories that end and get swept away, and also this whole crew. Explosions, loss, and desperately trying to set things right.

Clean by cosmic_llin
Star Trek | 4:09 | G | Seven of Nine
Summary: Just because you’re clean don’t mean you don’t miss it.
Seven of Nine and Annika Hansen and everything in between.
Music: Clean by Taylor Swift
     + Seven's journey. The back and forth. Learning to be human and choosing not to be Borg.

One Prairie Outpost purplefringe
Star Trek | 3:29 | PG
Summary: Alone in a flatland 'tween the dream and the real
Music: One Prairie Outpost by Carbon Leaf
     + DS9, TNG, and Voyager. I haven't seen enough Star Trek to fully get this, but I like the kind of plaintive ship feel it has?

Ultralife such_heights
Star Trek | 2:24 | G | B'Elanna/Harry/Tom
Summary: I never could've asked for more.
Music: Ultralife by Oh Wonder
     + Straight-up charming OT3 vid.

Letters from the Northern Continent by thehoyden
Star Trek | 7,966 words | NC-17 | Bashir/Garak
Summary: It just figured that the first time Julian Bashir set foot on Cardassia after the war, it would be halfway around the world from Elim Garak.
     + It's a romance. Video recordings, flirtation, cultural differences, realisations, and confessions.

If You're the Captain thingswithwings
Star Trek | 2:44 | PG-13 | Kathryn Janeway
Summary: Everyone loves serving Janeway.
Music: I'd Love to Take Orders from You by Mildred Bailey & Her Swing Band
     + Accurate summary is accurate. Fun. Kinky.

The god of scraped knees. by spqr
The Witcher | 8,342 words | R | Geralt/Jaskier
Jaskier’s been pretending to be human for so long now that he hardly remembers what it feels like to be a sorcerer. He doesn’t want to remember what it feels like to be a sorcerer. But people still murmur his name with reverence in certain dim halls; Dandelion, Dandelion, destroyer of worlds.
     + Wherein Dandelion is a magic immortal god-adjacent being and pines for love and domesticity.

Adore You by Trelkez
The Witcher | 2:29 | R | Geralt/Jaskier
like it's the only thing I'll ever do
Music: Adore You by Harry Styles
     + This has the vibe of some of my favourite slash vids, like, constructed narrative and shipping thesis in one, melded flawlessly to the soundtrack with pining and suggestive glances, plus a dash of comedy. Solidly delightful.

Such a Loser by sandalwoodbox
Yuri!!! on Ice | 2:55 | G
Summary: In which people try and fail and try again. Keep up the good work!
Music: Such a Loser by Garfunkel & Oates
     + This is so heartwarming. A+.
