There is something so absurd yet so intriguing with Harry Potter/Avengers xovers. I typically gravitate towards those where there are no adult relationships or Harry is somehow adopted/raised by the team—and even typing it out it sounds absurd, I know—but I can’t help but love it.

Your fave xover?

Tfw you get super into a fandom and learn what discord is and then life happens and you’re not involved for months only to read an announcement and find there’s been Drama and you don’t know enough about the channel to figure out where to go to learn what happened

🚨🚨ITS HAPPENING🚨🚨

It’s probably a sign that if the words have to be forced out that I’m probably doing it wrong 🥺

That or I don’t know where things are going and need to figure that out first

Idk why this is a surprise but apparently I now love medieval!royalty!Polin replete with dragons & relatively offscreen identity crises. Absolutely would read more universe expansion stories from this AU!

Took advantage of catching the Dungeons & Dragons movie on Netflix tonight before it left and while I knew Captain Kirk was in it, I had no idea Simon, Duke of Hastings was too! What a lovely surprise! 😏

This is the kind of surprise I love waking up to 🙌🏻

omg this is you?!?!?! I adore this!! I’m such a sucker for S1 AUs and yours set the bar high 🤩 I know what I’m doing today

I did this same thing except with corn today! I was nearly lulled by the general Sunday inclination to relaxation, but got it done. Go team people who freezer-prep their veg!

Been an incredibly long time since I could sit and write. Finally, I think I’ve found where this story is calling me: it will be an omega coming-of-age story for Penelope, alongside learning the true place of omega in regency society.

I’m actually kind of excited to see where this goes!

Finally got a chance to read it and I stg this fic has ruined me in literally the best ways

If you haven’t started this, you’re missing out on a masterpiece

Oooo vicious out the gate Cress so on brand this AU is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥

🚨omg snowokay just posted chapter 13 of buried in a shallow grave🚨

I know what I’m doing tonight

(So grateful they’re still posting. Came across an orphaned Polin work of theirs last week or so and nearly had a heart attack thinking they’d left us)

What a handsome and dignified old man 😍 Happy birthday, Strider!

This one hit. Bittersweet, aching; I love how the author ensured both of them grew to be fully fledged before they were ready for each other. Chef’s kiss. Don’t sleep on this one.

Finished Sugar this weekend. Amazing, incredible, loved it. 🤩 Literally never thought I’d enjoy it because the daddy/baby kink is not my kink (squick more like), & even avoided reading until now bc of it, but clearly I overcame those pesky issues 😅

Finding the time to write, to ideate, with young kids while working is really hard, so I just want to give a shout-out to all you amazing folks out there able to accomplish that

Also if you have any tips, I wouldn’t mind hearing them 😅

Happened across the new BOSS ad whilst scrolling the gram with my 10yo, immediately followed by a clip from s3, and I pointed out that it was the same guy and 10 goes “oh yeah no, he looked better with longer hair” 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tbh it’s not a terrible look, just jarring

I just started New Wolves today because I there’s only one chapter left and I couldn’t resist any longer and now I’m on chapter 38 and omg why did I ever think I could write ABO, this is so masterful jfc brb gonna go delete everything I’ve written to date

Got my hopes up when the page allowed me to scroll — only to realize that was just the pre-cached bits when the link k tried to open didn’t work 🥺

Man AO3 has been down for like four hours now

What do I even do with my free time rn idek

Honestly, I love the highly kudos’d fics just as much as everyone else, but I’ve been really enjoying finding these lovely works, buried through timing or tagging or who even knows, but they’re all completely underrated. I only hope you take a chance on them like I did and get to enjoy them too 🫶🏻

I enjoyed the last so much I went for their next! I like their pacing, their characterizations. Sketching without wallowing.

I cried. Normally I’m not a fan of celeb!fic, but in this it’s part of the character dev instead of the focus, which I really enjoyed. A classic tale of major loss bringing family back together.

Controversial take: I actually really dislike the teaching-Pen-how-to-flirt storyline in s3.

I deal with it in fics because it’s show canon now, but seriously, in this respect, the books were so much better

Completely underrated (maybe because there’s no smut? (but tbh i adore those almost more than ones with)). Worth taking the time to read tonight, 100%.

On my one year fic anniversary, I've tiptoed tentatively into my first Dark Polin fic. I know this is not everyone's kink so please read the tags! (There is NO sa/non-con or dub-con fyi).

I hope you give it a shot 🥺🖤

Soulful - Chapter 1 - Blibber - Bridgerton (TV) [Archive of Our Own] An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Such a sucker for a soulmate!AU. I loved them in HP and I love them in bton. I also enjoyed Gen and Remy in this. Glad to see Pen is a whole person in this, too, instead of super reliant on others for definition

Honestly? 3rdson!Spy!Colin makes a lot of sense, particularly how this author lays it out (though not entirely sold on his training but also am not a spy myself so). Really wish more fics explored this!
