Wow, now there's a bot going around on Ao3 telling people that the "moderators" will delete works from "deprecated" fandoms and impose bans.
Fearmongering bullshit, but it's fearmongering bullshit that seems to be taking advantage of the recent spotlight series in order to trick authors into deleting their fics.
Just. Why.
What the hell does anyone get out of making these bots.

It's wild how "women are reading frivolous and immoral novels that are rotting their brains" is such an evergreen moral panic. You'd think we'd have figured this one out by now.

The trope where people don't recognize each other because it's been so long since they last interacted and they've both changed so much that they're basically strangers UNTIL one of them does their Signature Thing™ and the other just stops dead because oh. It's YOU. All at once it's so clearly you

one of the most fucked up aspects of being an adult is really how life-goes-on everything is. like you can be dealing with the most fucked up trauma-drama-grief and still have to sleep and eat food to survive and like. poop. pooping while you're really sad shouldn't be a thing but it is. we don't have a say in the matter. life goes on

Found Family/Team as Family Prompts
Older mentor/team leader and the new, younger team member
1. "I wish I'd met you earlier." "Earlier? Any earlier and you'd be in diapers, kid."
2. "You alright?" "Alright? That was awesome!" "… I miss having this much enthusiasm."
3. "You weren't raised to kneel, kid. And don't dishonor yourself by turning the other cheek. Get up."
4. "Can I have a hug?" "… C'mere. You alright?"
5. "Why do you hate me?" "I don't hate you. I hate having to drag more people into this fight--no matter who."
6. "Hey, uh… There's an issue involving the new kid, and I was told to get you…" *alarmed* "What issue?" "The, uh… The arm stuck in the vending machine kind?" "… Yeah, I'll be there in a second."
7. "Why did you tell me to leave?" "What happened is nothing I haven't seen before, and nothing you should ever see."
8. "An eye for an eye makes the world go blind." "Then maybe these fuckers should stop going for the eyes of my people."
9. "Oi. You got any allergies?" "Are you making me a lunchbox?" "It's called rationing. Do you?"
10. "How'd you get that scar?" "Mauled by a dog." "And that one?" "Knife." "And the one on your face? Must've happened in a fight with some assassin, right? Were you defending some secret intel? Or protecting someone-" "I tripped up the stairs."

"please give me a hug, oh baby" - adorable affectionate gestures for your otp
a prompt list by @novelbear
gently resting a chin on the other's shoulder (and in turn, they lean their head on theirs)
firm squeezes on the shoulder or hand as a form of encouragement
holding hands while walking (and doing that little swinging thing)
wrapping their arm around their neck/shoulder and gently pulling them in
occasional kisses on the cheek
swaying back hugs while standing and waiting
pressing foreheads against one another smiling.
cuteness aggression taking over and they can't help but just mess up their lover's hair, sniffing and nuzzling all the while.
hopping onto their back and clinging on (with or without warning)
(soft) bites on the shoulder, arm, top of their head
catching them staring and sending them a teasing wink
^ making little noises to accompany the gesture
connecting at the ankles and swinging feet together
knowing that their lover is ticklish and giving them slight pokes in certain spots.
short and sweet kisses (that may or may not have been induced by a quick pout)
playing and scratching in their hair while they lay down as if they're in bed
plopping down on their lap like they're a portable sofa
lovingly poking their cheeks, nose, stomach
hugging them, pulling them closer their chest, taking in their scent, smiling as they stare into one another's eyes.
blowing kisses every other minute
pulling them close and whispering sweet nothings into their ear
giving them a little massage on their hand or shoulders
