I have enough Hollywood Cali stuff *Adds another fic on the pile*

I really love it it's Such a concept

The whole seeking fame and fortune

And probably leaving his friends and family and other states behind

Only to eventually fail and fade as alot of people in Hollywood seem to do

Have it end in Tradegy this perfect little thing he has and can boast about and it's killing him inside but no no he can't admit it

Coming back only to have all those people he ignored disliking him

And he deserves it

And I think it would start the whole pity party spiral and desperate attempts to be better then everyone while hiding his own faults

Because he has to look and act and think and be "perfect"

Or at least make it worse

And then turning a that bitterness onto other states

Like an ass

Wouldn't it be something if someone had to make him fail cause he's immortal and all like probably not but what if

Christmas Wishlist

Damian: So, what are you getting me for Christmas?

Jason: Nice try, brat.

Jason: Actually, no, terrible try. What was that? Where’s the subtly? The cunning?

Damian: *shrugs*

Later

Steph: Just out of curiosity, were you expecting that to work? At all?

Damian: Not really, no.

Steph: Then why bother?

Damian: It’s all part of my plan.

Steph:

Damian:

Steph: Are you going to expound on that, or…

Later that week

Oracle: Robin, there’s a burglary taking place on 5th and Jefferson.

Nightwing: I’ll be there in like three minutes, Robin, just wait for me.

Robin: I have it handled.

Red Robin: Just wait for Nightwing, you dummy.

Robin: Unnecessary.

Spoiler: You’re going to make Nightwing sad.

Oracle: Or you’ll get hurt.

Spoiler: Yeah, or that.

Robin: Tt. I’ll be fine. “He will win who knows when to fight and when to fight harder.”

Red Hood: That is NOT how that quote goes.

Everyone:

Oracle: Hood, I thought you were in California this week.

Red Hood: I felt an insult to humanity preparing to take form.

More later

Cass: Did you tell Jason what you wanted for Christmas yet?

Damian: I’m working on it.

Several days after that

Tim: Why are you in my room?

Damian: You left the window open.

Tim:

Damian: The philosophers are very clear on what to do there.

Tim:

Damian, a little louder: When your enemy leaves their WINDOW open.

Tim: And are you achieving what you are hoping to achieve right now?

Damian: Unclear.

Tim: You know, you could always write a letter to Santa like a normal kid.

Damian: Absolutely not.

Tim: Yeah… Probably for the best, actually, considering past dealings and all…

Christmas Morning

Damian, opening his gift:

Dick: What’d Jason give you?

Damian: *proudly holds up a signed copy of The Art of War*

Tim: Okay, that’s got to be fake, right?

Everyone: *looks at Jason*

Jason, shrugging: The Flashes owed me a favor.

Bruce, eye twitching slightly: Do I have to send the time travel safety presentation out to everyone again?

Jason: Don’t worry, they already fixed the parts of the timeline they broke.

Bruce: *very lengthy sigh*

Damian: Thank you, Jason.

Jason: You’re welcome.

Jason: Now there will be no more murdering of quotes. You have no excuses.

Later

Damian: My plan worked.

Steph: And just asking was too hard because…

Damian: What’s the point of that? Where’s the cunning? The subtly?

Chapter 4 - Dick

The front door slammed open causing both Jason and Damian to jump from their seats at the kitchen island, their puzzle pieces scattering to the ground. “Guess who?” Dick stood at the doorway a large smile on his face, he was wearing an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, swim trunks, a round pool floaty at his waist, and he was holding three duffel bags along with water guns under his arms, “Uncle Damian! Uncle Jason!” Mari floated over her dad and flew forward to wrap both her uncles in a crushing hug. “Remember, Mari we must be gentle, Damian is still recovering.” Kori copied Mari, floating over Dick to reach them, her hug was much more gentle. Dick tripped on the doorway, dropping the items he was holding, the water guns slid towards the group in the kitchen. Kori noticed the disaster and went over to help her husband. “We are going to have so much fun!” Mari yelled her hands clutched under her chin, “We’re in California!” “Mari, we are here to help your uncle recover.” Dick’s admonishment fell flat with the deflated pool floaty limply hanging off his hips. “Yeah!” Mari squealed, “We brought the fun with us!” She gave Damian a peck on the cheek and rushed off to explore the house, soon claiming a room for herself, Kori followed in her wake. Jason gave Dick a look. Dick rubbed the back of his head, laughing lightly at the chaos. When his eyes landed on Damian, they turned serious. His brother had crouched down to pick up the puzzle pieces off the ground. “How is he?” He whispered to Jason. “Better,” Jason said, “I’ve prepped enough meals for the whole week, try to stay away from the cereal.” Jason walked up to Damian, they had a whispered conversation and then he patted his shoulder. He stood and walked out the door waving his hand over his shoulder in a goodbye. Dick watched his littlest brother place the last of the puzzle pieces in the box, his heart wrenched. He rushed forward and enveloped his little bat into a tight hug, the image of him being rushed to surgery hadn’t left him, still making him feel raw. “I’ve missed you little D.” He whispered between his younger brother’s shoulder blades. “Get off me Richard.” Damian feigned annoyance but did not try to get away. “I’m so glad you’re doing better.” Dick let go of Damian, wiping the beginning of tears from his eyes. “Tt, you’re here with your family to have a good vacation, stop your bawling.” Damian rolled his eyes, it didn’t escape Dick’s notice that he rubbed at his chest absently. “We should show Mari the beach.”

The week had gone relatively quickly, Damian had made every effort to seem normal, joining the twelve year old’s shenanigans. She had put her family through their paces with her never ending energy and cheerful disposition, bringing out a genuine smile from her uncle once or twice. Dick had noticed though, when Mari was distracted a wistful smile would replace the one he displayed. Nonetheless, Mari had been ecstatic to have her uncle play with her, she had missed him while he had been away. Now in the wake of her excitement, both twelve year old and her mother had fallen asleep, shortly after the projector had been set up to display an action movie that Mari had been adamant to watch outdoors. Dick was nearly falling asleep as well when he noticed Damian stand and walk towards the stone bench that overlooked the ocean. With a grunt he stood, he was nearly 40 now and even though he was still extremely fit, age made his bones hurt. He approached his little brother casually and took a moment to observe him, it always surprised him that he had grown a couple inches taller than him, heck he still couldn't get over the fact that Jason had grown so much. He felt a petty sense of relief that at least Tim was still the shortest. “Thanks for making Mari’s stay so fun, little D.” He sat next to his brother and bumped his shoulder against his. Damian grunted in response, his gaze lingering on the stars. "Bruce wants to know if you're ready to come home." He watched his demeanor for any indication to the negative. "I'm not sure," he looked at his older brother with a troubled expression, “How would I know if I’m ready to go?” “Well how do you feel, physically, emotionally?” “Better, I guess,” Damian sighed, gripping the edge of the bench between his legs, “The operation wounds are healing nicely, I don’t think I’ll have any obvious scars and I don’t feel the way I did at the beginning of my healing. It’s just…” Damian rubbed the back of his neck and looked at Dick, his green eyes serious, intense, “I know it was Hanahaki disease that put me through this.”

“How. When. You weren’t supposed to find out until after you had recovered a bit more, you were in a really rough place.” Dick stared at him, his mouth slightly open. “Tt. I checked Jason’s phone after he fell asleep one night…” Damian shrugged, his gaze going back to the stars, ”convinced him to stay with me.” Dick shouldn’t have been surprised, he was a bat after all, he laughed and threw one arm around Damian’s shoulders. Jason had messaged them the morning after, concerned, about his little brat’s vulnerability, if he found out, he was going to be pissed about the trickery. He decided then, that it would stay between them. “I had to know Richard, this sense of loss, it was all consuming and I didn't know.” His voice grew fainter with every word, “Didn't know why I felt this way. I had no Internet, no access to the outside world, I guess for a normal person this type of recovery could have helped, but I needed to know.” “We were just worried about the repercussions of too much information.” Dick squeezed Damian closer. Damian nodded and continued. "The problem was after I found out that it was due to unrequited love. Love, Richard!” He looked at Dick, astounded, “It nearly killed me. How weak…” “It is never weak to love little bat, you know this. I love you and I’m stronger for it.” Dick rubbed his cheek on Damian’s head, nearly tugging him on his lap, Damian didn’t resist. “The doctor said I would lose some memories and that most would come gradually back. It's true, no idea about the memories I might have lost, but I remember most everything, even the part where I sat in the hospital room getting ready for the operation, it gets a bit fuzzy after that.” Dick hesitated, “Do you have any memory of who could have caused the disease?” “Nope, none.” Damian shook his head, “I think I remember all my friends, I remember having dinner and hanging out with a couple of them. I remember the last case I worked on. I remember college and doing projects with some of my classmates, maybe it's one of them," his shrug was constricted by Dick’s arms around him, "but I guess it doesn't matter anymore, since for the life of me I can't even think of who could make me feel so strongly that I contracted a disease.” He scoffed, “It's ridiculous really, embarrassing.” They stayed silent for a bit, Damian clutched Dick’s shirt, he could hear a bit of sniffling, but he gave him the privacy to let him feel. “I can't remember who,” Damian mumbled into his shirt, “but it feels like I should. A part of me hates me for forgetting. My chest is empty, even though I can feel my heart beat. I don't remember the constriction of the thing that nearly killed me, nor how it looked, the only thing left of it is the burning in my throat and that is already healing.” He pulled away rummaging in his pocket until he found the smooth object the size of a coin. He took it out and tried looking through its opaque surface, the moon caught it in its light reflecting a soft green. “I guess, in the end, it's for the best.” Damian whispered. Dick looked at his brother, the silver light of the moon casted enough light on them for him to notice his puffy eyes. “Yeah, I think I'm ready to go home.” Damian said with determination. “And, if you find that you aren’t, when we get there, you can always come back. I’m sure Mari wouldn’t mind returning.” Dick smiled.

Glue Song

summary: your leaving nockfell to go to california for your moms job, but want to sing your song with sal, one last time.

A/N: so, i saw this vid by @/frankoceanshrine on tt with her singing glue song with her boyfriend before she moved to cali. Thought i’d use that as an inspo for this

CW: angst?? Reader is GN, shitpost, reader and sal both cry, present AU, no use of y/n

Very short, sorry ml

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ”ive never known someone like you” me and sal sang, a sense of familiarity coming with what we were singing, this being our song

“Tangled in love stuck by you, from the glue” we kept singing. Sal strumming his guitar expertly, while my eyes started to fill up with tears. This was the last time we would sing this until I moved out of state to for my moms job.

“dont forget to kiss me, or else you have to miss me, I guess in stuck forever by the glue, oh and you” now, the tears were streaming down my cheeks, my nose was running and sal looked like he was about to cry to. Sal looked at me with a sad smile as we started humming the melody beabadoobee was singing come this part if the song. My voice was shaky as I hummed, and Sal looked as if he was trying his hardest not to cry, but it wasnt working.

I started crying a little harder, it being a bit hard to calm down as we sang the next few lines. “Findin’ the right words to use for this song, I have you in mind so it want take so long”

I make eye contact with sal and now hes crying. Tears are streaming down his scarred cheeks as he looks at me with a bittersweet smile as we carry on singing.

“Never thought i’d find you, but you’re here and so I love you” that one hit hard. Because I wouldn’t be here come tomorrow.

“Im not lyin, when I say ive been stuck, by the glue onto you” i scoot closer to sal and rest my head on his shoulder. Seeing him strum his guitar while I cry, tears falling off my cheek and into his shirt, dampening that part of his shoulder

“ive been stuck by glue, right onto you, I’ve been stuck by glue.” We now cant sing a single line without it sniffing and crying.

“Ive never known, ive never known someone like you, ive never known, ive never known someone like you” as we finish the songs, I think deeply about the last lines. Ive truly never known someone like sal. The things hes been through, his style, his mask, his story. Just him in general. I had never met someone like him, and I dont think I will again.

I look over to sal, hands covering some of my face, and I ket out a small whine before I start crying. Hard. I lean down to sal and he quickly puts his guitar down, his hands coming down to my back and stomach as he held me, pressing his face into my neck as we both cried together. Knowing, this would be the last time we would be able to do this again. “I love you (name)” sal said quietly to me, sadness lacing his voice, and it was clear he was crying just as hard as me. “I love you to, Sal. So, so much.”

how did you first get into Jeremy Jordan

good question—and one i very recently asked myself when the inevitable "how did i become this person" reflection happened 🫣.

i think there were many different factors (most of them not that good) that caused me to dive into obsessive mode so hard (and so quickly)—and it's definitely a "i see it now, but i couldn't back then" kind of situation. however, i'll spare you from those details XD.

the simple story is that, similar to you, i watched tangled the series and instantly fell in love with varian.

i love him

funnily enough, varian was the reason i started watching the show to begin with (coupled with the fact that i love tangled, and rapunzel, and eugene, and pascal, and max, and- 😆). i actually listened to the tts songs before watching the show 🫣 because my sister had gotten hooked on it years before. however, i only listened to the songs with mandy moore and zachary levi 🫣🫣 (cause i was like "who are these other random people, i want rapunzel and eugene"). then one day i listened to "through it all," in which varian has one line (plus an "eh" which i love now, but couldn't tell was him when i first listened XD)—and i was instantly just like: who's that.

have i listened to this one line on loop? you bet.

so i started watching the show—and loved varian from episode one—so naturally, i decide to look up the voice actor. it was jeremy....surprise. except...i didn't actually become obsessed right then. if anything, i was a little weirded out that this tiny boy was voiced by a 30-something year old man 😂 (but it's voice acting, so i was just like: wow, he did a great job 🤩...i'm going to go resume loving varian).

okay and then he sang. i knew he was good from his one line in "through it all", but wOW. adfasjkjaskfjd, on repeat forever and ever.

yes he was

that's not when i became (jeremy) obsessed either XD.

okay...and then a bunch of life stuff/circumstances kind of collided, and let's just say that i was feeling extremely lonely while also struggling with grief. i think there was about a two week period of this before i started actually bouncing back, and i had just reached the end of s1. now tts was doing a good job with bringing much needed happiness in my life, but...s2 had a very noticeable varian-shaped hole in it 😒.

that's when i turned to jeremy jordan youtube. it started off (the first hour) pretty mild—just some of his disney medleys, or the greatest showman video, or just the ones with millions of views—but it very quickly turned into a full out jeremy jordan youtube spiral™️ XD.

i must put this in your face again

i think in part, i latched on so quickly because jeremy and i are actually very similar people in general. i think at the point of extreme change that i was in at the time, it was just nice to "know" someone who was like me—and it definitely helped that there was easy access to extensive jj content. on a slightly different note, this is absolutely the reasoning behind the fact that if i had a chance to see jeremy live, i would choose one of his concerts over, say, gatsby—i am obsessed with jeremy jordan as jeremy jordan XD (hello akp).

literally me (i grew up in california by the way XD)

anyways, fast forward ~3 months, and i joined tumblr 😆...and we all know what happened after that. honestly, not a bad decision in my mind (at least so far), despite being very anti-social media my whole life. i've gotten to chat and obsessively geek out with so many great people, and i'm just so grateful for that 💕.

i've still only watched s1 of supergirl...and many youtube clips

[starsapphire]

like the writing in tt03 is bad from a narrative standpoint but johns also made so many weird continuity mistakes that make me wonder if he actually read the preceding comics within like. 5 years of writing tt?? i mean there's a lot to be said about just his incapability of maintaining or understanding characterisation alone, but also things like "i used to hate that dog" while talking about a totally different dog, or st elias being a co-ed school in california when it's a girls' school in pennsylvania... geoff. did you read superboy? did you read young justice? did you read impulse? did you consider leaving comics and becoming an accountant so nobody has to read your piss poor attempts at writing fiction ever again? just wondering

Customer: NICK NAME DMV: TT=PENIS IN TAGALOG, NO AUDI HAS DODGE Verdict: DENIED

[roseworth]

hi tumblr user roseworth im desperately trying to figure out how old rose and eddie were by the end of their tenures in tt03 / how long they knew each other and it is... difficult especially because sooo much happened dc-event-wise during tt03. do you have any canon sources or noncanon thoughts on their ages beyond eddie being 17 in part of tt03 and rose being 14(?) when lilli dies ^_^

hiiiiii <3 unfortunately i dont have a great answer for this bc. comic timelines. but ill do my very best

so for rose the only time we get anything about her age in tt03 is in issue #0.5 (when she gets taken by slade) when it says that lili and slade met 18 years ago

so i assume that makes rose ~17 when she join slade (since lili would've been pregnant for 9 months after this)

we also get this panel saying that lili died 18 months before rose joins slade, putting her at around 15 or 16 when lili dies. iirc she was 14 when wintergreen sees her for the first time, so we can assume a year went by between wintergreen meeting lili and lili's death (if tt03 is to be believed! but deathstroke 1991 (annual #4) mentions that shes 14 when her mom dies)

anyways this also means that roy hired her as a live-in nanny when she was 16 years old which is really funny to me. but none of that matters; point is she was 17ish at the start of tt03

this is just my personal headcanon but i assume that the time between titans/yj graduation day -> infinite crisis is around a year, and if rose joins up with slade a little after graduation day then shes with him for just under a year

HOWEVER if we go by what slade says in nightwing #112, rose has only been with him for a few months

so based on that, rose is 17 (probably closer to 18) when she leaves slade

then infinite crisis happens and we skip to a year later! so shes 18/19 now. we dont get any specifics on her age but just for funsies we can assume that shes at least 18 since shes smoking and cyborg doesnt have a problem with it (he confiscates her alcohol but not her cigarettes), and the tobacco age in california in 2006 was 18

THEN it gets complicated. i dont have a source for this but i think theres supposed to be a year between oyl -> final crisis, making rose 19/20 by fresh hell (the secret reason she got kicked off the teen titans was because she wasnt a teen #adulthood)

also in fresh hell, she orders alcohol at a bar in canada (in the northwest territories where the drinking age is 19) so theoretically that makes her at least 19. though she never actually gets the drinks because she gets in a fight 2 seconds after this so she doesnt get carded so who knows!

from there. i dont have much. i assume that a full year doesnt go by from fresh hell to the end of the universe (if anyone knows how long bart & kon were dead for that might change things, but i assume we're not given any exact info on how long it was), so i would put rose at ~20 right before the new 52 happens!!

as for eddie, ill use the same tt03 timeline that i used for rose

like you mentioned, hes 17 in tt03 #42 (for reference rose is 18/19 at this time)

he didnt join the teen titans that long before this, we see him asking to join in 52 #51, which is like a week or two before tt03 #34 (the first tt issue after oyl) so its safe to assume that eddie is 17 when he joins the team

anyways after #42, i dont think we get any mention of his age? which is honestly kinda weird since his age is Very Important given that hes selling his soul to neron at 20. we should have an eddie's age tracker at all times

if we assume that hes 17 when he joins the teen titans and oyl -> final crisis is 1 year, then hes right around 18 or 19 when he dies

when he loses his powers then tries to make another contract to get them back in tt03 #68, kid eternity mentions that he'd have "a few years of superheroing," so him being 18 around this time makes sense

then he dies in #74 </3 no mention of his age anywhere but id say hes right around 18 when he dies

take all of this with a grain of salt bc a lot of this is just me making up timelines. but i personally think rose is 15 when her mom dies, 17 when slade takes her, 18 when she leaves slade, and 19 as of tt03 #34 (oyl). and eddie is 17 when he joins the team and 18 when he dies!

Ghost Helpline Part 5

“Tt-” Damian opened his phone as soon as he received the second notification, his ‘colleges’ were making too much insipid noise.

“What just happened,” Hal held his head in his hands. He really thought nothing else’s could surprise him anymore. Monsters, magic, hell Hal dealt with aliens everyday… yeah right he dealt with aliens every day. Different cultures, values and morals. And after all what’s an interdenominational demon but another type of alien? Hal settled down next to Barry, this wasn’t bad. Right this wasn’t bad at all kids an are still just kids no matter the species.

Clark took control of the meeting outlining everything that had happened and going over the next steps with the magicians. Constantine insured everyone that there was such a thing as ‘good’ demon, but that they were not the type to want to involve themselves with humans … like at all. Which left the group at an impasse.

“I’m not saying she’s evil or anything! She might just be a sweet girl but she is still dangerous. Demons are known for their greed and deception. Even if she isn’t strong enough to fight any of us she can just as easily trick one of you idiots out of your lives.” John hated all of this. He hated working with the justice losers, he hated himself for dragging a kid into this mess and he was just so tired.

Red Robin fingers were clicking quick and sharp, making a file on Konstelacio. Writing down looks, personality and of course theories. “Tim! You can’t just put in “ex-criminal” or “disease” maybe her skin is just like that!”

“Then why wasn’t any of it on her face?”

“Tt- unlike the rest of you, some of us are actually doing something important here.”

“Robin we are trying to strategize-“

“Yes well I am am trying to zero in on her location.”

The room quieted.

“Robin report.”

“She was in Wisconsin a few minutes ago, some forest in the middle of nowhere. I’ll share the coordinates.” Dick was absolutely appalled, “When did you put a tracker on her?!?! Oh my god what if she figures it out and comes back to hurt you! What were you thinking?” Wait… no, oh damn it Damian, “It was on the handkerchief wasn’t it?” That’s why Damian had been so ready to part with it. He would admit that it was clever, but this was his little brother! Dick had every right to worry.

“Well where is she now?”

“Pismo, California where else.”

Barry felt Hal tense next to him, “Bear, Bear please tell me that isn’t where the dragon is.”

——- —- —- —- —- —- —- —— —— —— —— ——

Billy Batson boarded the javelin, missions with Dr. Fate were the worst! He missed Nelson. The man had a way of making conversation, of keeping Nabu silent. This new Dr Fate just didn’t know went to stop, and was just so uptight! No wonder Klarion hates the guy.

Billy sighed at least he’d be home soon. Well one of them at least… he wondered if his family would be done moving into the new house yet. Ugh Gotham

Historical AU, 70s AU, Strangers to lovers

Summary

The year is 1976. In November, Jimmy Carter will take control of the White House. Americans are meeting Laverne & Shirley at their apartment in Milwaukee. Hotel California diverges from the reign of Kool & the Gang. And the FBI is still reeling from the repercussions of Watergate, the tragedy at Wounded Knee, Operation Family Secrets, and the strategic terrors of the anti-cult movement.

That's what Special Agent Harry Styles has been told is the basis of his mission to an abandoned farmhouse in rural New Hampshire.

With his hair grown out long and his shirt untucked, he's going undercover to do reconnaissance on suspected cult leader Louis Tomlinson, who has led a group of people out into the middle of nowhere, leaving no record of the life he'd had before. All Harry knows is what the agency gave him: Tomlinson's name, and instructions to figure out what he's doing with the eleven people he brought with him.

In the year that Harry spends undercover and under Louis Tomlinson's wing, he learns more than he ever expected.

What I liked :

This story is perfect : masterful scenario, well crafted characters, and a very special and absolutely unique atmosphere, all to achieve about how a remote place can help you find in someone the home you were looking for...

Established relationships, suicide attempt, hurt/comfort

Summary :

After a failed suicide attempt and a three month long coma, Harry wakes up.

What I liked :

Suicide, depression… It's not an easy subject… And yet the author comes up with a story that is all sensitivity and emotion. They describe perfectly what it's like to go wrong, even when you love your husband, even when, from the outside, everything seems to be going well. The distress of Louis, the husband who almost lost his love, is also palpable and poignant.

Both characters are amazing, and it's literally impossible not to fall in love with Louis, who reminds me TTS Louis, a marvel of solidity and devotion to his other half.

Enemies to friends to lovers

Fic post

Summary :

On the cusp of a promotion, Harry needs a little help with his image. Enter Draco Malfoy — who doesn't really do that, Potter — to whip him into shape… and make him feel things he hasn't for a very long time.

Featuring: odd jobs, surprising chemistry, lots of accidental kissing, the Prophet living up to type, owls exhausted by the carrying of dirty letters, a secret no one can talk about, a merry band of Slytherins (none of whom really approve), and an enchanted mirror (who really, really does).

What I liked

This is another one of those drarry fics where I fall in love with both characters and their stories, each so different yet so compatible.

Friends to lovers, Sharing a bed, Pining

Fic post

Summary :

When Harry decides to swap his house in London for a cabin in the Catskill Mountains for a week, he’s excited for the chance to take a vacation with a group of his closest friends. He’s positive that his long-standing crush on Draco won’t be a problem; he’s been handling it just fine for years, after all. Unfortunately, he wasn’t counting on those tiny swim trunks. Or the way Draco licks melted chocolate off his fingers. Or having to rescue him from a rogue shower. And he definitely wasn’t counting on Draco deciding to sleep in Harry’s bed. But it’s going to be fine. Right?

Featuring: gender fuckery fashion icon Blaise Zabini, Greg Goyle as “the dad friend,” Luna Lovegood petting wild animals that she absolutely should not be petting, and Harry and Draco not being nearly as subtle as they think they are.

What I Liked :

This fic is a sort of grand epilogue, set against the backdrop of a beautiful cabin in the Canadian woods, with a lake, obviously a shared bed, pining and a great bunch of friends. A lovely serotonin moment. I could have gone on for pages and pages.

No rules in breakable heaven, by @strandnreyes

Private chef AU, friends with benefits

Fic post

Summary

Carlos doesn't know what to expect when he takes a position as a private chef in the Hamptons for the summer. All he knows is that he needs a job, and one that puts a roof over his head, gives him a chance to practice his craft, and will look great on his CV is more than he could ask for. Turns out he has no idea what he’s in for.

What I liked :

I sincerely hope that the author continues to write for a long time to come, because every time, it's a joy to read. Carlos and TK are beautiful, moving and touching, no matter what reality they find themselves in, and this AU private chef is no exception.

Strangers (Or Enemies ?) to lovers, slow burn

Fic post (kind of)

Summary :

In the raid at Lindisfarne, Ragnar takes a blow to the head and is knocked unconscious. Thinking Ragnar is dead, his kinsmen leave him behind on the beach. When Ragnar awakens, he suffers from amnesia. He cannot remember why he sailed west, or what transpired at the monastery. Athelstan discovers his bruised body on the shore, and they embark on an adventure that challenges their faiths, their lives, and their love.

What I liked :

Years ago, I was really into the Vikings series. And all my interest collapsed when Athelstan died (I don't suppose I'm spoiling anything for anyone?), because G. Blagden was due to join the Versailles series. Here we are in 2024, I'm discovering Uppsalir on AO3 and omg it's a gem! It's a shame that such perfections don't have more readers, for lack of a more popular fandom…

My monthly reread :

We cant take the long road home, by @pinkcords

Road trip AU, strangers to lovers, pining

Fic post

Summary

Late afternoon seeps into the cab, just shy of too warm, and the breeze that crosses window to window tosses their hair in their eyes, around their faces. They ride in pleasant silence, the radio humming softly in the background as they speed down the coast, and when Louis looks over, Harry’s smiling to himself, a private happiness born from whatever’s going on in his head. Louis likes to think it has something to do with him, or at the very least, this adventure they’ve embarked on together, chosen to see through to San Diego.

Or, Harry and Louis fall in love down the coast of California.

What I liked :

I finished March by rereading this fic after watching a TV documentary about the Seattle area with my mum (Easter weekend). This is the third time I've reread it, and the third time I've loved it! It's got some of my favourite ingredients: road trip, pining, a lonely character whose heart gradually opens up, beautiful landscapes, pining, emotion… Really, We can take the long road home is one of my all time favourite fics.

What's more, there's a lighthouse and a sea glass found on a beach…
