In honor of Miike Snow being at Coachella 2025 (apparently), i would like to remind everyone that this gay-ass perfect work of art exists.

That's okay! Someone just went through a series of mine on AO3 and left emojis on every story in their comments. Just that: three heart emojis. Every story. I could follow a timeline on how long it took them to get through each one. And at one point, they apologized for leaving only emojis--but you know what? Those emojis were worth their weight, because it was so much fun seeing them through in time, with longer gaps for the larger stories and shorter gaps for the one-shots and drabbles.

Kudos are great, I love that kudos email, I will never fault anyone if their only spoons are spent on kudos or likes or reblogs. Spoons well spent! But if you've got the spoons for emoji, we love those too.

I think there's something that needs to be said about encouraging readers to leave feedback.

For me it's not about "tell me my writing is amazing and stroke my ego"

It's more about "please engage with me so that I can experience your joy secondhand and foster a connection with you"

I understand that not everyone wants this in their reading experience, some people are shy and a million other reasons why maybe someone wouldn't want to engage and that's perfectly fine!

But what I'm trying to steer away from is being a passive content creator with passive consumers. What I want to steer toward is fostering a community that is essential to fandom. I want to see your reactions because it makes me feel like I'm a part of something.

On encouraging reblogs —

I understand that not everyone is comfortable reblogging, especially explicit content. This is ok!

But just consider that the only reason you were able to enjoy a fic or fanart is because someone else shared it, and by not sharing it yourself you are potentially robbing someone else of the opportunity to enjoy it as much as you did.

As OPs our reach only goes so far and this website relies on reblogs in order for anything to truly get seen by a wider audience.

So that's really it! That's why I encourage these two things at the end of every story I post. Not because I'm trying to be demanding and "make people feel bad" if they don't do it.

I know most other social media sites encourage mindless content consumption and that's just the way of the world nowadays, but I am from a time when community was at the heart of fandom and I just don't want to lose that.

Not a Fairy Tale Kiss, Chapter 29

Pairing: Bucky Barnes/Avenger!OFC (2nd person POV)

This Chapter word count: 3.1k ~ Total Story count: 130k ~ This chapter is rated Mature. Chapters posted Tuesdays, Thursdays, and most Sundays.

Summary: When you and Bucky are both accidentally hit with sex pollen while on a mission, you're determined to keep your relationship status at friendship, even if you’d like it to be more. Even if you think he feels the same. Even if you accidentally end up pregnant. Even if it kills you.

(Spoiler Alert: it might actually kill you. Good luck with that.)

Trigger warnings for later chapters include discussion of abortion, failed pregnancies, deaths of both mom & baby--not the MC! Full warnings on AO3. Happy ending is guaranteed, despite warnings. Please see AO3 for full A/N and tags.

Chapter Summary: In which you and Bucky find each other again. Almost.

Your fingers are tight around Bucky's hand. The nightmare slowly fades; with every breath you take, everything feels a little more real. “Wish I could help more,” he whispers. “You are. Just being here.” You take a shaky breath. “I miss you.” He does squeeze your hand then, just a tiny bit. His eyes crinkle a little, and he smiles, as if you’ve said the words he most wanted to hear. “I’m right here.” “But you’re not. You used to sit next to me on the Quinjet and you’d take my hand when we were running and you haven’t done those things in months.” “That’s not true.” You shove against him. “It is."

Read the rest on AO3.

We're so excited to publish our latest article: @aba-daba-dooo on teaching fic writing to middle schoolers!

Fanfiction does something that my traditional English classes cannot. It teaches students about our role in the creation of media, culture, and history. It invites students not just to analyze the role of a text, but to partake in its deconstruction and recreation on their own terms. It places the power in the hands of the student. After all, what English class asks you to transform a text into something you want to read? 

Read or listen to an audio version via the link above—and to support more in-depth fan culture journalism, consider becoming a patron!

every time i see someone call kirk and spock the oldest ship, i'm filled with the urge to go "hmm actually the holmes and watson girlies have been here for a hundred years now", and i refrain because i know the natural conclusion of this game is gilgamesh and enkidu

The point of fiction is actually to put that guy in a situation™️, and he might try to tell you the point is to then get him out of the situation, WRONG, second situation

Rated E - 28 chapters - Complete & posting weekly(ish) - Banner art by @keirgreeneyes

Mycroft has always done everything right. This is not hyperbole. He has attended the best schools, taken the broadest courses of study, achieved the top marks, engaged in the most suitable extracurricular activities for developing a network with all the ideal people. He has said the right things at precisely the right times, and excelled in every one of his endeavours... From this vantage point he can see how this belief in his own brilliance concealed the flaws in the architecture.

A story about losing a job, making a friend, and deciding what defines a life.

When Mycroft's career nosedives after the events at Sherrinford, he doesn't cope as well as he might have expected. Greg Lestrade has known Mycroft for years as Sherlock's brother and the British government. He'd never have guessed they'd get on so well, but Greg's not one to deny a good thing when it follows him to the family cabin. But when his past comes back to haunt him, Mycroft will have to defend himself while protecting the man he loves.
