🥰 If This Is As Far As We Go (BeauRadley) - 124K, stucky no-powers AU - after a year of being phenomenal hookup buddies, bucky ends their arrangement & throws steve into a tailspin - slow burn, angsty, oblivious steve slowly realizing his true feelings, good supporting cast
😊 Bunt! Striking Out on Financial Aid (Ngozi Ukazu & Mad Rupert) - cute graphic novel about art students forming a softball team to exploit a financial aid loophole
😍 Death in the Spires (KJ Charles, author; Tom Lawrence, narrator) - historical murder mystery set in 1905 Oxford - another KJC absolute banger: incredible sense of place, fantastic characters, perfectly done 'whodunnit' tension and a HIGHLY SATISFACTORY resolution. Loved every word
💖💖 +76K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖
The Man, the Myth, the Legend (sparklyslug) - Check Please!: gen, 2.9K - Holster's beatboxing skills brings all the a capella groups to the Haus - a short, fun, funny, outsider POV fic
Say it louder for the people in the back (redhook) - MCU: shrinkyclinks, 14K - reread, forever fave - sometimes you just get a yearning to reread the best glory hole fic ever written
In Focus (sparklyslug) - Check Please!: zimbits, 6K - Jack's photography eye knows what's up before his conscious brain does

And Then We Danced / და ჩვენ ვიცეკვეთ (2019), dir. Levan Akin
#ATWD amateur guidebook
Soundtrack Lyrics - Part 4 [go to: Prologue, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 5]
14. Davekhetebi Kuchebshi (დავეხეტები ქუᲩებᲨი)
"I wander aimlessly in the streets"
[Note: 1. mention about this music piece can not be found ANYWHERE but in the End Credits (that means I searched for it for few days straight with no effect) 2. according to both the fact it's placed between "Chrelo Pepela" and "Patara Bichi" and considering the meaning of the title - I assume it's the accordion music that can be heard right after Merab went out of the restaurant]
15. Patara Bichi (პატარა ბიჭი)
"Little boy"
[Note: This song lyrics was already mentioned in Part 3. It was refering to Mariam losing Merab then - but now it most definitely is describing Merabi's mood]
16. Coca Cola - DRO
Ola Ola Ola Coca-Cola Cola Cola Cola Uzi-Glock Hola Hola Hola It's summer Zola Zola Zola
Bikini and ola ola ola Coca-Cola Cola Cola Cola Uzi-Glock Hola Hola Hola Coca-Cola Cola Cola Cola
Drop Splash I Pay Cash Always Fresh Always Always Whoop Splash Always Fresh Balenciaga and ????
Whoop Splash Martini Sesh With Ice Splash Ice Ice Whoop Splash Summer Sesh Always Fresh Always Always
(...)
[Note: 1. Another example of Modern Georgian music by DRO (just like "Sakamoto" in Part 1). I would not look for any deeper meaning than the fact Merab can try to relax and not to think too much with this kind of music. 2. The whole lyrics you can find here]
ოლა ოლა ოლა კოკა-კოლა კოლა კოლა კოლა უზი-გლოკი ჰოლა ჰოლა ჰოლა ზაფხულია ზოლა ზოლა ზოლა

"As the sun peeks over the horizon, a scent of fog and dew begin to stir among the tall blades of grass. A pile of large acorns haphazardly stacked outside the teahouse entrance comes alive as soon as the first beams of light hit. The rugged, delicate door flings open and a figure tiredly stumbles out on to the large stepping stones just outside. The uniforms dull fabric resembles the moss and rotting wood surrounding the house. Large porcelain gauntlets shine with ornate incantations, continuing up one arm and the leg as intricate tattoos. Basil doesn't seem to care about the bugs waking up all around the ancient oak, tonight is the Moonlight market and there are preparations to be made. A magpie soars past and a scent of tea starts spreading through the leaves. Clouds enshroud the sky and a slight drizzle slowly replaces the bright sky, company wasn't expected on a day of preparations like these, yet welcomed. Behind the large glasses, drowsy eyes peer out with a hypnotic calm. The merchant offers wares and ingredients not often seen in this part of the land. With a suspicious gaze Basil decides a fist full of sleeping pills couldn't hurt. Beneath the robes of the merchant, a sweater peeks out as they reach for pen and paper, a sweater knit by a dreamer." -written by tottomori
