[jackwolfes]

i think you've mentioned zookeeper au before and im SO curious about that one, love this idea for a setting!!

[WIP list]

Important context: there was a period of time where I was going to zoos possibly more than average ??? 😅 Which means I ended up adding to this idea more and more every time I went so it's just sorta gone away from me!! But it's cute and fun and T4T wesper, and I am inordinately chuffed with the fact I was like "hey I think Wylan would know a lot of facts about bugs" before SAB S2 came out because I feel vindicated and proven right 🦋

anyway I've Def shared this before but it's cute so voila:

“I liked touching your snake earlier,” Jesper says.

Wylan blinks. Everything suddenly feels very warm. “Oh.”

“Your— the snake,” Jesper repeats. “The red one. With the kids.”

Wylan sees him wince, and tries his very best not to laugh. Instead he presses his lips together hard and nods, looking at Jesper as he looks back. “You mean Matilda.”

“Yeah!” Jesper says, seeming eager to grasp any way out of the hole he’s dug for himself. Then Wylan’s words catch up, and Jesper’s nose wrinkles up. “Her name is Matilda? Saints, who names them? They’re reptiles, not octogenarians.”

Softly, Wylan clears his throat. “I named Matilda.”

[alexenglish]

there's this time of the night here when i finally sit down to catch up on the day's tumblr (my newspaper if you will) and there's always a stretch where its just seven of your posts in a row because everyone's gone to bed but your queue is running and every time i'm like ah yes, the angel hours 🥰

sometimes i'm like ugh i should just let my queue die for real, but this message will singlehandedly keep it alive for the rest of time, this is my fave thing in the WORLD

[allwaswell16]

Are there any fics where you wish you could go and back read for the first time again?

Ohhhhh, anon. How much time do you have? I'm going to narrow this down into a certain kind of fic. I think there are some fics that had that real slap you in the face moment(s) that I wish I could relive. You can reread the fic, but you can't really relive that moment.

💜 Love After the End of the World by @mercurial-madhouse (E, 168k)

Society shattered when all electricity suddenly cut off across the globe, plunging the world into darkness. Now, Prometheus Industries is the sole remaining supply of power, a saving grace to those who survived Lights Out. As fugitives in no-man’s land struggling to break into Prometheus HQ, death lurks around every corner for Louis and Zayn. Things get complicated when a routine recon falls apart and Louis collides with Harry and his mates Niall and Liam, survivors with their own agenda.

When staying alive is already a constant battle, the deadliest weakness is to be in love. For Harry and Louis, finding each other sits on top of the endless list of What Else Could Go Wrong.

💜 This Multiplicity of Powers by @helloamhere (E, 149k)

Maybe in another universe he isn’t different. Maybe he hadn’t been given an impossible choice. Maybe he wouldn’t have lost everything and broken everything and then fallen impossibly, irrevocably in love with the first next thing that was kind. Maybe in that universe he doesn’t feel like he’s never breathing, always pretending, teaching the kids even though they all have to learn alone, trying hard not to read the headlines, and so afraid, every day, that he won’t be a good enough teammate to the superhero he can’t live without. He knows that love isn’t supposed to feel this way, slid secret under your skin like a surgical razor, an invisible war held close over the tender vein that keeps you alive. On the other hand, Louis wonders, had he ever known how to do it any other way?

Maybe there’s a universe where he doesn’t have to keep all his secrets on the inside.

But this isn’t that universe. //an X-Men AU.

💜 There's Such a Lot of World to See by @crinkle-eyed-boo (E, 125k)

Louis has seen a great many things throughout his travels in time and space, but only one he can’t explain: He keeps meeting the same boy, who says the same thing to him each time. The boy should be impossible.

Maybe he is.

A love story that defies the boundaries of space and time. Doctor Who AU.

💜 Nothing But You On My Mind by nonsensedarling / @absoloutenonsense (E, 83k)

Louis Tomlinson is a PR manager hired to improve the image of royal bad-boy Prince Harry Styles. Unfortunately for him, that means being faced with the Prince's constant innuendos, incessant dirty jokes, and relentless flirting. Louis just wants to make it to Princess Gemma's coronation; once she's crowned Queen, his contract is up and he never has to see the Prince again.

💜 The Second Hand Unwinds by @kingsofeverything (E, 51k)

Louis Tomlinson is one of the first members of NASA's top secret Chrono Exploration Program. When things go wrong and he's sent further back in time than planned, he has no other option than to show up on his ex-boyfriend's doorstep.

💜 And That's The Tea by @2tiedships2 (M, 27k)

I’d like an Earl Grey with milk and sugar, please.

Louis had the phrase memorized, even though it had disappeared off its place on his upper arm over thirteen years ago now.

At fourteen he didn’t understand. Soulmarks don’t just disappear. Not unless…

Unless one of them dies.

Or, the one where Louis loses his soulmate before even getting the chance to meet them, and he is in no way prepared for the kind of distraction his new friend Harry proves to be.

💜 The Risen (series) by @creamcoffeelou (E, 20k)

In search of the next breaking story, Harry goes off to do something no one else has been able to do: get the scoop on Louis Tomlinson and his devoted group of followers.

💜 I Am the Blinking Light by @dearmrsawyer (G, 19k)

There is a legend of a lighthouse far out to sea. It can’t be found on any map, and those who do find it never return. They say a ghost haunts the lighthouse, and you can hear it calling out in loneliness on the ocean waves.

💜 Bot (series) by tomlinsunshine / @tornlinsunshine (NR, 11k)

Zayn builds robots; Harry is a big fan of his latest model.

💜 No One But You Got Me Feeling This Way by runaway_train / @runaway-train-works (E, 3k)

Harry is well aware he should be studying or watching T.V or cleaning the kitchen or doing literally anything from a list as long as his arm instead of this, but he is. The list of reasons why he shouldn’t be doing this is probably at least double that, but here he most definitely is. He’s sitting on his bed, legs straight out in front of him, back propped up against the headboard and some fluffed-up pillows and his MacBook is resting on his thighs. His jittery fingers drum lightly on the edge of the keyboard as he stares at the tiny digital clock in the top right-hand corner of the screen, willing the seconds to tick by faster. He wants to get into this and get it over with in equal measures.

Or The one where Harry has a particular desire that only Louis can fulfil.

[sparrowmoth]

i've been following your current wips so avidly, they're both SO good!!!!!! in such different but equally wonderful ways. amazed you can have two amazing stories going at once. i'm looking forward to when my head is on a bit more straight so i can go back and leave comments throughout, but for now i just wanted to tell you that i am having such a good time reading them 💜

@dearmrsawyer Ahhhhh, thank you so much, this made me smile. 💖 I'm so happy you're enjoying both stories! They're so wildly different, it makes it easier to juggle them both at the same time because I'm at no risk of crossing plot wires lol. Anyway, I completely understand it's hard to comment sometimes! I had a period like that this winter when everything was just Too Much and I didn't have the mental energy for comments, so I've been just starting to catch up on that lately. But yeah, it just makes me glad to know that my fics are being enjoyed and connecting with people, so thank you for taking the time to send this, I really appreciate it! Much love to you. 💕

[latitudesunknown]

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 Happy birthday Maddy!!! For today or maybe tomorrow depending on what time this shows up in your inbox!! I hope you have a fantastic day and it is the first in a whole year of fantastic days 💜 I hope you have been well ilu

I honestly did not expect anyone on this here tumblr to remember, was gonna make a post later to make sure nobody went 'oh shit i didn't know!!' two weeks on, but I should have KNOWN that YOU would know, because you are Super Jamila and you have Super Friendly Powers. ✨💖✨

Thank you so much I have been... lol I was about to write "very well" but I mean technically I'm super close to a burn out and I'm so exhausted trying to work has somehow become physically painful?? And all that for no money so I can't even decompress by getting take-out or splurging on silly things. And yet I'm also somehow in a good place and I feel very grateful to lead the life I lead. Also v. excited to be turning 42 because it's a very pretty number!! 🥰

[magicalrocketships]

Books!! Thanks to @officialmood for the tag :)

An estimate of how many physical books I own: Me, staring at my bookcases and doing an estimate per shelf x number of shelves... maybe 500? (and if you include ebooks, then there are 304 books in my to read folder and 339 in my read and keep folder). AND I did a big clear out before I moved last year. And took four bags to the charity book shop earlier this year. I cycle a lot of second hand books in and out tbh.

Favorite author: There are loads of favourite books and I could pretty much go on about most of the books on my shelves, but I think I could continue to lose myself in Lois McMaster Bujold's books over and over and over again. I know that Georgette Heyer books are very much Of Their Time but it is also true that if I ever need a comfort read then I know what to reach for.

A popular book I've never read and never intend to read: Godddddddddd. Liza said Infinite Jest and I also have zero intention of ever reading this. But SO MANY.

A popular book I thought was just meh: Red, White, and Royal Blue. I did not get along with Wolf Hall, but I also didn't get that far into it before giving in.

Longest book I own: Toss up between the Neal Stephenson Baroque Cycle volumes, War and Peace, Samantha Shannon's The Priory of the Orange Tree (although I've lent this out and probably won't get it back), and Victoria Goddard's Hands of the Emperor / At The Feet of the Sun. They're all pretty chunky, without doing any specific investigation.

Longest series I own all the books to: Elinor M. Brent-Dyer's Chalet School series (approx 62 books, depending on which editions you own). After that, Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series.

Prettiest book I own: I don't own any where the cover is the prettiest thing I've ever seen, but I do own a queer historical photography book where together the inside and out is the prettiest visual history. Some of my books are v pretty because of the way they make me feel, but that's a different question.

A book or series I wish more people knew about: Maybe Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard? There's a core few of us that feel a lot about it. One of my very oldest internet friends that I haven't seen in years sent me a package earlier in the year that was just a notebook that had reminded her of this book and therefore it was a necessity to share it with me (she was right to do this). I also kind of want more people to talk to about Joan Aiken's Black Hearts in Battersea series.

Book I’m reading now: I'm listening to Jingo by Terry Pratchett, have just picked up the second Sandman volume, and I'm partway through Our Wives Under The Sea by Julia Armfield (although I realised last night that it was too creepy for me to read in bed, lollllllll)

Book that’s been on my TBR list for a while but I still haven’t gotten around to it: BRB just going to stare into an invisible camera, my goodreads to read pile is 462 books long and is only made up of stuff that I own / once owned and is probably not up to date with paperbacks. Let's say The Simarillion, because I've probably intended to read that since I was a kid (and have not yet managed it). I've read 133 books so far this year and yet my to read pile never gets any fucking smaller.

Do you have any books in a language other than English: Nope. I used to own some HP books in German and Latin but I did not keep them. I am not very good at languages, although me and the Duolingo owl are trapped in a daily standoff.

Paperback, hardcover or ebook?: Mixture of all three. Love a good paperback but I am... gently allergic to paper, so sometimes if I've read too many paper books my hands pay the price, and on the whole I do believe that skin should stay on my body, where I've put it, rather than peel off and bleed. A healthy mix of ebook and paperbook in general, with the odd hardback.

People have probably already done this, but tagging @junkshop-disco, @magog83, @dearmrsawyer, and @pennyplainknits.

[niallandtommo]

getting my annual christmas card from @dearmrsawyer on the 23rd of december is quite literally the best christmas present!!!

[1000-directions]

good stuff 12-14-23

finally got to see my friend after work! i picked up food and ice cream for us on the way there, changed into my pajamas as soon as i arrived, and we finally watched the golden bachelor finale while i got such such good snuggles from her dog

she also gave me the hanukkah gift she had mentioned, which was a really nice keychain with the kraken logo!! i don't have a keychain and it makes her nuts lol as soon as i opened it she took it back to attach it to my car key on, and i love it!!!

i also got my holiday card from @dearmrsawyer!!!!! i have been so excited for it to arrive, and it is here!!!!!!! and it has a very nice note inside that immediately made me burst into tears because i love jamila so much and i am so glad she is in my life. she she also sent me some very cool stickers, including some underwater animals and a very cool kraken sticker!!!! feeling very grateful for my friends today 💚💚

and now i am home and showered and snuggled up in bed and ready to watch some hockey!!!!!!!

[ficsyoumayhavemissed]

all I remember — @andfollowthesun

2.159 words / @1dchristmasfest / Harry x Niall

“Okay,” Niall says. “Don’t get me wrong, ’m grateful for the fans and the music and everything— “—and your fifty guitars, and the very expensive pieces of real estate in London—” “Yeah, yeah,” Niall waves his hand. “But fame is also what’s right now preventing me from throwing me hat in the ring to be Holmes Chapel’s next jelly wrestling champion.”

Heartwarming, that is the perfect word to describe this fic because even though it is very short you are able to fall in love with Niall and Harry with every word. It's fun and portrays Narry perfectly, showing how important is for your partner to be your best friend as well.

Winter Light Spectacular — @reminiscingintherain

2.631 words / @girldirectionfest / Harry x Louis

‘Coming Soon! Winter Light Spectacular! Starting Friday 11th December, 5pm, Golden Botanic Gardens. Entry free.’ Louis blinked as she read the poster in the staff room. “Uhh… what is this?” she asked, looking around with a raised eyebrow. ~~~~ When head gardener Louis has the plans of a light show dropped in her lap, she's instantly protective of her gardens. Can coordinator Harry change her mind?

This fic is simply wonderful. Louis’ sassy character swearing up a storm, but still being kind and good natured rings so very true. Give this one a read if you’re looking for a sweet fic with good banter! You can also listen to this as a podfic here!

Dine with me — cyandiamond

2.689 / Harry x Louis

Harry’s ready to close up the shop and go home after a long shift, until an unexpected turn of events makes him rethink.

Some fics you read in order to be in a new world and this is one of them. This fic has such a wonderful and vivid sense of place. The imagery brings the cute story to life and a smile to any reader’s face.

Worries, Kisses and Surprises — @neondiamond

3.105 words / Harry x Louis

Harry and Louis are hosting Christmas dinner with both of their families for the very first time. Harry is a little stressed out about it, but for a good reason.

The domesticity packed in this fic is just perfect! It’s sickeningly sweet and a cozy read for a cold winter evening.

I don't care about the present — littlejo_ana

3.522 words / Harry x Louis

“You're not really saying that Michael Bublé's version is better than Mariah's." He said, raising his eyebrows, but Louis just smiled. “That's exactly what I'm saying," he answered, crossing his arms over his chest, his blue eyes focused on Harry as if daring him to contradict him. “Well, you're wrong then, Mariah Carey's version is a classic, and it's iconic!” He said back, crossing his arms over his chest as well, because two could play that game. “It's overplayed and everybody's tired of it," Harry gasped dramatically. “Now, Michael's version, it's new, romantic and engaging.” or the one where Harry and Louis compete for the best version of "All I want for christmas" and somehow, they both win.

This fic is a frank and fun discussion of Christmas songs. It’s wrapped in some cute banter and friendly competition that in the end both Harry and Louis win.

santa, won't you bring me the one i really need? — @alwaysxlarrie

5.539 words / @1dchristmasfest / Harry x Louis

This Christmas, Louis is going to ask for new friends, because his are the worst. That's the only possible explanation for how he's been dragged into dressing up as Santa and taking photos with strange small children at the mall for hours on end. I mean, Christmas is a season of being cheerful and all, but this is ridiculous! …although the handsome guy who his friend somehow managed to persuade to play the elf is at least a small perk of the job.

This fic is extremely cute and funny, perfect to start getting into that chilly Christmas mood, almost like a Christmas romcom!

Christmas won’t be the same this year— @dearmrsawyer

7.473 words / Liam x Louis

Liam is a suburban dream. Louis hates him and his Christmas lights.

One part new neighbors, two parts jealousy, one part attraction. Add some Christmas sparkle and stir generously, and you’ll get this crazy, fun fic about rivalry and redemption. Liam will warm your heart. Louis will have you groaning into your hands. But when they come together, it’ll leave you cheering.

Avoiding every mistletoe (until i know it’s true love) — @stylesthebrave

10.315 words / Harry x Louis

Even as the day comes to a close, Louis isn’t afraid to call the man sitting next to him on the sofa, watching snowflakes fall outside as the scent of sugar cookies fill the flat, the love of his life. Through his anger and sadness, never once did he stop loving Harry or regret loving Harry. If anything, he’s afraid of a world where he isn’t loving Harry. So, yeah, his heart is pretty content right now. Or, the Christmas exes to lovers AU.

While a chilling snowstorm builds around them, Harry and Louis attempt to talk about what broke them up and slowly rekindle the warmth that used to burn between them. The feelings are relatable and the hope is contagious in this sweet story of ex-lovers getting a second chance.

Happy birthday Maddy!!! 🌻🌻🌻🌻 Aahh i hope things are going well for you, that you're putting a button on a good year and about to start on an even better one! I was scrolling through some of my old likes this week and came across a couple of your Animal Crossing posts and remembered the gazette you used to post, which was just so adorable 😂 i'm so glad i got to make friends like you in a place like this where such whimsical things can happen. I'm wishing you the very very best for your next year and am so glad we remain connected even as life twists and turns! 💕

JAMILAAAAA !!!!! 😍🥰🧡

I never post anything anymore so I genuinely didn't expect anyone on tumblr to remember, I'm so touched!!! :')

As it so happens, I had a LOVELY pre-bday day yesterday, where we did a photoshoot with some of our actors and it was SO FRICKING FUN and everyone looked sooooo gorgeous and I really wish tumblr was like livejournal (a.k.a with friends lists) so I could post some photos without fearing a stranger would link my tumblr life to my "real" life! One of our actresses looked exactly like Margot Robbie/Harley Quinn in her makeup and I kept staring at her like 😍

Today I'm exhausted but thankfully there's no super urgent work to be done (which is kind of a lie because we've been working SO HARD lately, such long hours, but things are finally moving forward and we're finally seeing the path to making enough money to pay ourselves, it's very exciting!) and my parents' are inviting me to one of my favourite restaurants tonight so it should be another lovely day.

Also I realized a couple weeks ago that I'd spent the last year thinking I was 41 instead of 40, so I've decided that this year I was 40 again, coz I want to properly enjoy it! Looking forward to it (and to then jumping straight to 42 coz it's such a pretty number).

Thanks again and I really hope things get infinitely better for you very soon with the house and the works and the work and the weather! You're one of my favourite people in the world and I feel so blessed you're never giving up on me despite my utter inability to share anything on here anymore <33333
