DontStopHerNow
Selfie, Eliza/Henry, 1100 words, no archive warnings apply
This is a hysterical texting fic with sharp, funny character voices! And it makes excellent use of timestamps and emoji to add to the story.
A gentle man and a scholar byisevsianne
Our Flag Means Death, Ed/Stede, 7500 words, no archive warnings apply
Modern AU consisting of a series of emails about letters. Contains outrageous flirting and even more outrageous obliviousness. Very cute and fun!

Delightfully charming and fun post-canon letter, featuring excellent puns and an excellently frothy Chirp voice.

Stede Bonnet unearths potential evidence that his 18th century ancestor could be the Gentleman Pirate, and contacts a top pirate historian Edward Teach, an expert on the dreaded pirate Blackbeard, to get to the bottom of it. An email correspondence sparks something more than just academic research.

Making it through with tea, puzzles, puppy cuddles, and gay hockey romance
Dec. 5th, 2025 10:20 pmscintilla10Some things I've been up to:
Also, I got to cuddle an eight-week old puppy recently! What a bundle of wriggly, fluffy mischief.
- Watching Heated Rivalry, and having a complete blast! I enjoy escaping into m/m hockey romance books on occasion, so hearing that one was being adapted made me excited for the show - and it's been SO great so far!
- Holding off on watching Stranger Things Season 5 until I have time to watch properly. I'll probably be diving in this weekend.
- Feeling a bit wiped out at work, and so ready for the stretch of time off I've got over the holidays (soon, SOON).
- Enjoying two different advent calendars: a mini puzzle one we bought several years ago, and a tea one!
- Eagerly anticipating ficinabox collection opening tomorrow :D

Rec-Cember: Rec #1
Dec. 2nd, 2025 07:30 pmscintilla10Kicking off rec_cember with a recent femslash fic (written for rarepairexchange 2025) that blew my socks off. (Cross-posting this rec to womansplace who are hosting a reccing event aligned with rec_cember.)
All Summer in a Day byLuna
True Detective: Night Country, Liz Danvers/Evangeline Navarro, 3000 words, rated e, no archive warnings apply
Post-canon reunion (or is it?). I loved the lyrical rhythm of the writing, and beautifully vivid descriptions of the landscape. Liz's sharp, cynical narrative voice is excellent, and I loved the thoughtfulness and depth of the characterization and the focus on their spiky, intense relationship. (And hot! It's very sexy, too.)

Liz stops sleeping.
Some nights, she's busy trying to claw her way out from under an avalanche of paperwork. Some nights, she just can't keep her eyes closed. She can put on a sleep mask or bury her face in the pillows, but she's still aware of the light glowing out there, and the absence of anyone warm in the bed next to her.
(Or: six months later, a reunion.)
