Twelve years after Yuna calls the Final Aeon, Auron begins a new pilgrimage. Rated E for future chapters.
London, 1980. It's not yesterday anymore, or: a retrospective as told through '77 punk.
All things considered, it was a fairly nice jail.
Jacob Marley didn't realize the path his deeds were leading him on until his doom was upon him. Now, he sees an opportunity to spare another his fate.
2021 note
A clever and charmingly written reflection on Marley’s repentance after his own death.
Bisclavret recollects the path that led him here.
2021 note
A lovely reflection on what it means to be a werewolf and to shift from one form to another.
After being assigned as Harriet's mentor at their Massachusetts women's college, Emma does all in her power to ensure Harriet's happiness. Why matchmaking for her might compromise Emma's own satisfaction, Emma has yet to determine.

The 60s college AU you never knew you needed.

A cute story where Dougal gets the Christmas surprise he wants.
At times like these, all you can do is laugh. Or slump beside a drunken Greek and eat manhandled trifle from your lap with a spoon.

Or: what follows the closing credits of every episode.
2021 note
Brilliant drabble series exploring what happens after each episode.
“You’re good at this,” he tells her. “Do you work on commission?”
At first he thinks the joke doesn’t land, but when he glances up again to meet her eyes in the mirror, she’s grinning. Just quiet, then. That’s alright. Peter can work with that. Peter’s favorite person in Wellington these days is quiet, too.
Thinking about Balthazar isn’t safe, though.
Peter and Balthazar before and after the events of LLL, and the long processes of learning a little self-reflection and communication.
2021 note
Lovely exploration of how Peter and Balthazar’s relationship develops over the course of the series.
“It is your destiny, which cannot be escaped,” the lady intoned.
“Watch me,” Dennis said, and escaped.
2021 note
In which Dennis manages to stick to his anarchist principles despite his destiny.
It's everyone's final year at St. Clare's, and two (foreign and somewhat mysterious) new girls have joined the form. Mysteries will be unraveled and secrets revealed -- hopefully in time for a midnight feast.
2021 note
A slightly darker look at canon that does a fantastic job of slotting it into the wider context while maintaining Blyton’s tone.
Z is no stranger to the enjoyable sensations of tetriminos touching beyond the scope of their work, but they are absolutely certain that the ‘becoming one’ nonsense is just a myth.
That doesn't mean they aren't curious though.

Tetris blocks have an Experience and it’s hot.
Eddy was sitting on the couch again.

Sweet emotional h/c fic.
Piglet has a question for Eeyore: How did he know when his birthday was?
While almost everyone has something to say, very few people have a good answer.
2021 note
Cute story with a lovely wholesome conclusion.
When Sabriel thought of the huge scope of the task she and Touchstone were faced with—nothing less than restoring a half-way functional society to a country mired in chaos—it was terrifying. So she tried not to think of it that way, but to focus on a single step at a time.
Sabriel and Touchstone take a moment to discuss the future, both general and personal.
TFW you fall in love with literally the first human who smiles at you
2022 note
a description of love from an alien POV; really striking and original language.
Ermenwyr and his demons depend on each other. He knows this now, because he lost one.
2022 note
fantasy setting, slightly pathetic nobleman experiencing a lot of physical and emotional pain, tbh I’d be all over this even if it wasn’t brilliantly written.
Sir Thomas Baines, his heart laid bare.
2022 note
intense seventeenth-century feelings.
A year into their voyage into the depths of space, Jake had started to find his place among the young crew that had rescued him. It boggled his mind that after everything that had happened in his life—fighting tooth and nail to earn his commission, losing his ship to mutiny, then struggling to survive for six years on a desolate space station—somehow he'd come out the other end to find the best friend he'd ever had.
Best friend, and maybe more than that.
Before he could figure out exactly who Jonathan was to him, the universe seemed determine to throw a wrench into the works. Jake wasn't the kind to bow to the universe's whims, though, and he sure as hell wasn't about to let Jonathan die in an attempt to save everyone else.

I didn’t expect to enjoy this so much but I got really invested in the story of these two sad men in space. So well-paced and believable, and a lot of excellent Feelings.
The ambrotype (from Ancient Greek: ἀμβροτός — “immortal”, and τύπος — “impression”) also known as a collodion positive in the UK, is a positive photograph on glass made by a variant of the wet plate collodion process. Like a print on paper, it is viewed by reflected light.
Soraya Mousch, Max Holborn, and their final joint project.

horror, modern setting. I love how the style of this one incorporates direct addresses to the reader – it just makes it stand out.
