Farm witch friends, you have done the coven proud.

We've got so many good recs it's going to take a few weeks to share them all!

Starting with these that were recommended more than once, if you haven't spend some time with these fan favorites, you should check them out now! And leave the authors some love, of course.

========

Everyday Magic (houdini74/@mostlyinthemorning)

Each magic story is so unique, so sweet, so... D&P! 

I couldn’t pick just one of these wonderfully variable scenarios that all include just a little (or maybe a lot of) magic added to the perfect scene setting and banter. 

Favored Nations (@blueink3)

ALL OF IT! It’s my go-to when I’m feeling down, when I need to revise our boys. The characters, writing, and plot are all amazing. 

Amazing world building, very in character slow burn.

The ultimate slow burn, the perfect love story set amongst the wonders of Broadway and NYC.

It’s just so, so good!�� I am a sucker for secret romance fics, and this one has that and so much more.  Add in some Shakespearean theater with a twist and just the right amount of angst and sexiness, it’s just perfect! I love it so much.  

This author knows David, Patrick, and the NY theater world inside and out. The volume and level of specificity, volume, tenderness, anxiety, and love of these characters and worlds is astounding. The characterization is so vivid, it's the easiest fic to forget isn't canon.

Fifteen hundred miles (morehuman)

I go back to this fic a lot! I just love the idea of them both challenging themselves and finding out what they are capable of.

The most incredible journey, a gift to go along with them in it.

I carry these heart-shapes only for you (@ladyflowdi and @ships-to-sail)

I love this transportative, visual feast of historic fiction. Luscious WW2 Paris is so vividly portayed and David’s wild, wealthy, LGBTIQ+out flamboyance juxtaposed to the farm-boy turned military-man Patrick is sexy and sweet. It undoes me every time. I actually first came to the piece via FairManor’s outstanding podfic. Both the text and the podfic are high art. It’s not just one of my favorite fan-fics. It’s one of my favorite stories of ALL time in any genre. I read/listen and I am at the Gaston, riding on the back of Patrick’s motorcycle, kissing in windmills, eating crepes, touring junk shops & dancing naked to 40’s blues. I’d give anything to see this as a film with Dan & Noah & cast. I want a leather bound print copy of it. Also - The epilogue is progressive, heartbreaking thoughtful genius. I’ve just finished rereading & listening to it again. Each time there are new Easter eggs to be found. Joyous. 

It's just the most beautiful piece of writing ever written. Descriptive, lyrical, hot, stunning, heartbreaking. It has everything. 

I’d swing with you for the fences (@nontoxic-writes)

Achingly sweet and fluffy all set in the perfect baseball/famous AU with secret relationship AND musician Patrick. I come back to reread this one a lot!

What isn't there to love?  Baseball, long distance relationship, sex, songs, coming out to the parents, coming out to the team, coming out to the world, excellent use of side characters....I could go on and on.  There are so many amazing fics out there, but I've read this one at least a dozen times! 

Incorrect (@lisamc-21)

You can hear David saying it, but now picture the Maldives.

A beautifully written story of our boys meeting on vacation. Their trip is so sweet and so hot, and when they say goodbye, it's heartbreaking. The twist- they are both famous in their own worlds but don’t recognize each other so don’t realize who the other has hooked up with. When their week ends, they try to maintain a long-distance friendship as they learn who the other is. What was a hot hookup becomes a slow burn, and it’s amazing!!

The Last Rose Video (@distractivate)

Gorgeous writing, the perfect mix of canon and AU, clever plot, great dialogue.  The fic I read over and over.  It’s as comforting as a warm blanket. 

Swoon. SWOON.

Strike Anywhere (@madlori)

Hot firefighters. Hot sex. Hot romance. But like in a Sandra loves Keanu sliding out of a speeding bus kind of way.

Hot hot hot!  That’s the first work. Then- the author developed a prequel that is also hot but is also funny, loving, sweet. Love fireman Patrick!

This enemies-to-lovers-to-secret-husbands story featuring Patrick Brewer as a firefighter, is deliciously tropey and blazing hot, but also it’s written with such authentic emotion and perfect banter that it keeps me coming back to read it whenever I need a mood lift. 

Such great heights (@likerealpeopledo-on-ao3)

Great story, the very best jokes, and the wedding date chapter is so good it would work as a stand alone fic. 

It's got the mother of all fake dating scenarios, and Stevie in this in among the best I've ever read her. It's also very very funny. All the times when they say Feel The Air crack me up every time!

Sustineo (@rockinhamburger)

This is a perfectly paced one-shot AU that builds a world in which David is a brilliant, stormy, reclusive artist whose whose treatment by the press (and one Sebastien Raine) has made him unwilling to engage with the world…. Until he meets an intuitive and kind art writer who sees him for everything that he is (and can be). All of characters here are perfect and I love the descriptions of David’s art. 

Incredibly hot art fic.

You can fall (sweetsirius/@wordthieve)

It takes the David and Patrick rescue each other theme of the show and makes the stakes even higher. Plus it's just a genuinely beautiful piece of writing.

The story arc and pacing are fantastic. I love how David and Patrick's relationship develops and how Patrick learns to open himself up again after grief. It's incredibly well written. I've read it so many times, from full read thrus to dipping in and out of my favorite moments and chapters.

Patrick is so heartbroken, but then he meets David. So romantic, and feels lived in.

Starting something, finally !

Hey everybody - here to start a (small) series of short TFs, similar to my past airplane seat series.

(This will not be a long series, as I do not have enough time to post daily and have a lot of submissions, so I really apologise in advance if you do not get the chance to participate due to slots being taken)

Now for the subject ;

I’ve came up with an idea : a parking lot. I’ve put vehicles that you guys will choose from in order to be transformed into a new body. Each slot can and will only be used one, thus making it hard for everybody that will submit to get a story.

RULES :

Just pick the vehicle that you want, add a little text (personalise it, but not precise or any specifications on your future body. Only on your previous, actual one or other stuff) and send it to me in my Inbox!

For the people who don’t know a lot about cars & bikes, I’ve created a little sum-up.

CARS :

Ford F-150 : Big pickup-truck.

Nissan Sentra : Small, economical sedan.

Mercedes-Benz S-class : Big, luxurious prestigious sedan.

Ford Mustang : Sporty, powerful American coupe.

Chevrolet Tahoe : Big SUV…with a little twist.

BMW M3 : Sporty, sleek sedan.

Tesla model X : Big, electric full-of-tech SUV.

Toyota Camry : Midsize, average sedan.

Dodge charger : Powerful Sedan. (With a twist)

Porsche 911 : Sporty, luxurious coupe.

Toyota Prius : Hybrid economical small sedan.

MOTORCYCLES :

Kawasaki Ninja : Powerful sports bike

BMW GS : Big, touring motorcycle (long trips)

Yamaha R1 : Excessively quick sporty motorcycle.

Yamaha MT-07 : Average, sporty motorcycle.

EXTRA :

Trek bicycle : Expensive long distance professional bicycle.

[punks-never-die205]

In a modern au what kinds of cars do you think the big four would drive? I headcanon the Victoria to be a tricked out van with obnoxious bumper sticks like “this vehicle makes frequent stops at your mom’s house” that the crew uses to go bar hopping and go to local punk shows 😂

I know the Victoria different for you in your A Light Touch fic so I’m curious about your thoughts!

XD

For better or worse, Victoria will always be a 1957 Bel Air to me - specifically a nice oil slick black with crushed velvet seats. She's a classy bitch and demands some proper respect.

Then there's The Beast - which is a big pick up truck that's probably reinforced enough to crash into a marine base, if we're being legit. I think it's technically Wire's car, but Kid likes to drive, so he's usually driving it. (Wire's apathetic about driving I think).

Killer's ride is a motorcycle - I'm not sure if it's an older Goldwing touring bike (they're hella comfy for long distance rides) or a Harley of some flavor that he's actually tamed down enough it's still loud, but doesn't shake itself into needing maintained every three weeks cause the rattling shakes the bolts loose >.>

Heat's car is that one from Supernatural.

TTPD Notes - The Anthology

TTPD Notes Glossary

“imgonnagetyouback”  

Not sure of the timing on this one  

But you know who rides motorcycles? Harry. Not Matty.

Also, this song gives me major Grammy Feb. 2023 vibes. God, what a night that was. ::stares wistfully into the middle distance::  

Also, I just think it’s funny to make yet another joke about him wrecking a vehicle. lol. 

"The Albatross"  

Definitely written pre Eras Tour  

To meeee this one smacks of the Olivia Wilde scandal and Taylor being the first one to jump up and clap for Harry when people started shouting Beyoncé should have won the Album of the Year Grammy instead of him. 

Interesting that whole thing ended up hitting Olivia way harder than Harry, if it even hit him at all; I'd argue it did not. Fucking sucks to be a woman. (“Life was always easier on you than it was on me.”) 

I tie the secret message for 1989’s “Wildest Dreams” (“He only saw her in his dreams”) to this one because of the line “But I’d visit in your dreams/And they tried to warn you about me.”

"Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus"  

I believe we’ll learn someday this what written pre-Eras Tour  

The hologram with the multiple people running fingers through the persons hair reminded me of the music video for “Lights Up.”  

I was immediately reminded of “Exile” at the line “you saw my bones out with somebody new (Calvin Harris at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards) who seemed like he would’ve bullied you in school/and you just watched it happened.”  

Side note: I love the play on words with “you saw my bones out” as in the action of watching versus the action of sawing. Genius.  

Also, is she talking about herself as bones because she was at the height of her eating disorder then? :/  

Also also, this song gave me a tummy ache. I need hospitalization after this album.  

“I Look in People’s Windows”  

I think this was recorded pre-Eras Tour.  

I adore this song; I just wish it was three times as long  

I don’t think it’s Peter’s perspective, as some have theorized. I think it’s Taylor’s.  

I do think this is a strong contender for a pining Haylor tune. They shared a city for a long time.  

“The Alchemy”  

Clearly not Travis. Once again, I feel like everyone has lost their minds and ability to comprehend words. The football references are just metaphors, coincidental in hindsight.

She’s talks about someone, likely the muse, seeing her like heroin, but this time with an E, like a heroine (get it?).

And she talks about getting together with someone from her past. Not meeting someone new. “This happens every few lifetimes.” “What if I told you I’m back?…I haven’t come around in so long? I’m coming back so strong.” “Hey, you, what if I told you we're cool? That child's play back in school. Is forgiven under my rule.” This is a ex who fucked up when they were young that she feels like she belongs with, and she is running back to after a long time away.

I had thought at first this was about Matty, but he’s not on much of a winning streak. H is, though. Also, @foxes-that-run reminded me of Harry’s old “sign in his heart” (his the love banner tattoo).

Also: Alchemy…gold rush?? Come on, guys.

"Peter"  

I think this was also written pre-Eras Tour, probably pre-Joe break up, too  

A call back to “Peter losing Wendy” in “Cardigan”  

Also reminds me of the pining in “Ivy” (“The old widow goes to the stone every day. But I don’t. I just sit here and wait, grieving for the living.”)  

Ongoing references to the moon and space between these two...“We both did the best we could/underneath the same moon/in different galaxies” 

More thoughts on Peter

Makes me want to die

"Robin"  

Another pre-Eras tour track, I’d wager  

I think this is also about the muse of Peter Pan. I have seen people say it's about Robin Williams or a child/Aaron Dessner's kid, but she put it on her Apple Music "Denial" playlist. Also, the "slow ticking clock on a string," like the one Peter Pan uses to bait the crocodile? I think it's just another song about how Harry won't grow up but their group of friends all love him and coddle him anyway. Now, to me, that makes sense on the denial playlist.  

Interesting that this song and "Fresh Out the Slammer" both talk about swing sets.  

Also, the trampoline reference reminded me of Harry's line from "Little Freak," "golf swing and a trampoline, maybe we'll do this again."

Best Touring Motorcycle Jackets: A Comprehensive Buying Guide

Touring on a motorcycle and going on road trips means covering long distances, often through unpredictable weather and varying road conditions. This means you need good gear, and a quality touring motorcycle jacket offers both protection and comfort, making your journey safer and more enjoyable.

The mode of transportation may affect the road conditions in Thailand

INTRODUCE

In the past two months of living in Thailand, transportation has remained an essential part of my life as a student.And during this period of life, I discovered and felt that transportation methods may have a certain impact on the road conditions in Thailand.Especially after buying a motorcycle with friends and riding it for a long time for the first time, this feeling becomes even more pronounced

So next, let's follow my understanding and perspective to take a look at this issue together

I will roughly divide it into three points based on different modes of transportation to write

1.WALK

In Thailand, there are almost no locals walking here, except for some foreign tourists and guests. Local people also walk unless the distance is relatively close, which is quite interesting, unlike my hometown in China

I remember a long time ago when I came to Thailand for tourism, a local tour guide told us that because walking in Thailand may indicate that he is a poor person (except for situations where the distance is short), people are more willing to ride motorcycles, cars, or bicycles

Moreover, due to the hot climate and variable weather, walking may not be a good choice

In this way, there are fewer people walking, and the impact on road conditions may only be to focus on the main road management and management of vehicles, reducing the scope of management and saving a lot of time and effort to some extent

2.motorcycle

This may be the most commonly used and common mode of transportation in Thailand, and it should also be the most popular.Motorcycles can be seen everywhere in the streets, alleys, and traffic lanes of Thailand, with an extremely large number. This is something that my hometown may not be able to compare, and the local motorcycles in Thailand are the purest, with no other mixed and modified varieties.

Even as foreign students, we have to buy one because it is very convenient to go anywhere and saves a lot of money on taking a taxi

However, because of this, it may be necessary to plan and manage the roads that allow motorcycles to pass, in order to avoid unnecessary accidents, or to improve traffic light times appropriately. Of course, don't forget to wear a helmet when riding on the road. Safety always comes first

3.CAR

Cars are currently the most widely used mode of transportation worldwide, and Thailand's transportation roads are no exception. People can also use cars in many places for daily travel, and compared to motorcycles and walking, cars have more advantages such as the ability to install air conditioning, especially for the hot weather in Thailand. However, the cost of a car is relatively huge, especially when buying one. I think the number of cars in Thailand is average, with motorcycles being the most expensive

Of course, I think there is still a lot for cars, especially car drivers, to improve and correct in terms of road conditions. For example, driving habits and speed may not be able to seize the road that originally belonged to motorcycles or force other cars and people to change lanes, which is unsafe. My friends and I have unfortunately experienced several accidents caused by this, but fortunately it didn't end up being that serious, but we still feel very bad. So I think drivers should be educated and trained before driving, and have their own morals, instead of just being able to do whatever they want with their so-called international driver's license. This is also responsible for the property and life safety of others

So the above is my viewpoint, welcome to read, point out problems, and discuss!

All image sources are from: Baidu related topic image search

[master-jarrus]

So about the bikes separate from the poll just so that post doesn't become all jumbled with photos and I can make sure I am completely up front because I want to be genuine

So bikes are cheaper and cars keep being extremely problematic for my husband and I

We don't have kids and it's just the two of us so two motorcycles are actually a really convenient  and viable option for us

(They are also more eco friendly if you take care of them right but that's for another day)

So no matter what way the vote goes I am getting a bike

However, bikes are still more than a grand and while we can afford it, we can't afford it.

It's one of those weird spots of like yes we can. But everything else will be tight

That's where the vote idea came in from

I am unable to find jobs that are actually hiring

AND my career field of costuming, sewing, etc is dying. No one has these skills anymore unless they are really old or weird gremlins like me. So sewing shops that would hire me are impossible to find

So I thought hey I know how to cosplay and I'm professionally trained (it was actually a certificate I was pursuing they just refused to offer the last 2 classes) in it

Maybe other people would like to see me actually cosplay and watch and learn how to make good quality costumes and props from scratch/as scratch as possible

This happened to coincide with us looking at bikes and an tiny event on tiktok where I got yelled at by cosplayers for saying I wasn't a professional so I decided to ask if people would be interested in a cosplay that combines everything together

The vote isn't over yet but so far (I voted just to see the votes but it doesn't skew the results I promise) everyone seems in favor so unless a bunch of people suddenly vote no I am going to start setting stuff up

In the meantime here are the update bikes we are looking at

2008 Suzuki, owner already responded. They are active duty military and is on a training thing so when they come back we be looking at the bike

The silhouette is already pretty close to Lloyd's main thing I would need to do is paint. And then I would probably change the tires to handle touring (long distances). I may also make the mirrors bigger. This will make my ability to see better and also aids in the cartoonish look

Older bike that might make it harder to find parts if it ever needs a repair

Clean title

*my husband is also active duty and this may give us good negotiating leverage

2018 Suzuki, owner has not responded and some of the pictures appear to be stock photos which makes me a little wary because that's unusual for a non dealership seller

Same cosmetics as the above bike

Newer bike if it needs to repaired we can probably find the parts. But it may require more premium gas

Clean title

2005 Kawasaki Ninja, only recently found it. I will be showing it to my husband when he gets back from work. I haven't contacted the owner yet because my husband is not in the loop yet

Would just need paint, bigger mirrors and the touring tires

Older bike might make repairs difficult

No titled mentioned

Those are the 3 bikes, because the title isn't mentioned on the ninja it will likely get removed.

Unfortunately theft is common in my area and my husband and I have even had a vehicle stolen from us so anything that doesn't have a title is sketchy

Anyways I hope this was informative and not just me rambling and I will be working on that youtube video today if my internet likes me enough

P6 Idea : Sunken Atlantis

After Caprona's incident ended, the heroine learned from the sports girl that she would introduce a car repair shop, and they would set up exclusive vehicles for each character. The heroine's vehicle is a touring motorcycle, which can travel quickly between different utopias; the sports girl's vehicle is a technical vehicle, which can destroy obstacles in front of her.

Worldview: This utopia is derived Atlantis in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Atlantis is an exquisite and luxurious underwater city. Every day, political and business celebrities come here to watch and invest.

Atlantis is managed by Captain Nemo. In the real world, he is a promising college student. Due to his elite education from his family, he continues to communicate with various dignitaries on the premise of inheriting the family business.

Captain Nemo wants to become a marine biologist more than inheriting the family business. He is idealistic and sees through the ugliness of politics and business. Therefore, while inviting those people, he secretly plans to bomb and sink the underwater city to harm them.

Design: Atlantis has elements of BioShock, and the shadow guards here look like Big Daddy.

Gameplay: Once the player enters the base of the underwater city, some areas will be unable to pass due to flooding. At this time, the player must find the password and turn off the ballast to allow the water to recede.

Boss: The player confronts Nemo, and he will send the mechanical crab and lobster from a long distance to deal with the protagonist and others. After the crab and lobster are defeated, Nemo will open the mechanism on the floor and release his persona Kamohoalii. The shark in the water will ambush the protagonists on land. Since they cannot move on the water, they must use a persona to defeat the shark.

End: After defeating Kamohoalii, Nemo realized his wrongdoing and decided to join the protagonist and find the correct way to deal with bad political businessmen during the adventure (Nemo is the same person as the advisor boy mentioned before). In addition, the protagonist learned about Volva for the first time from the mouth of the advisor boy. He was very concerned about his close friend joining Volva.

Return: The advisor boy's vehicle is a jet ski, which can easily pass through flooded terrain. If we return to Atlantis, the shadows of corrupt bureaucrats are planning to have evil intentions, and the heroine must work together with her friends to punish them.

Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Gets Aurora Colour Variant At Rs 2.20 Lakh

Royal Enfield has widened the Meteor 350 range by launching the new Aurora variant of the cruiser.

It gets a couple of changes over other variants of the bike and comes with a price tag of Rs. 2,19,900 (ex-showroom, Chennai) which places it between the Stellar and Supernova trims of the Meteor 350.

RE Meteor 350 Thoroughly Overhauled

The new Aurora variant of the Meteor 350 comes equipped with spoke wheels and tube tyres, unlike other versions which get alloy wheels and tubeless rubbers.

Moreover, the engine case, exhaust system, and a few other components have been bestowed with chrome finishing. All of this is done to enhance the retro appeal of the bike.

Astral trim now gets Royal Enfield’s Tripper screen for navigation as standard fitment.

This unit is paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The same powertrain is found on newly launched Bullet 350 too.

Meteor 350 is underpinned by a dual-cradle J-series chassis which is suspended on 41mm RSU telescopic suspension at the front and twin shocks at the rear. Anchorage duties are handled by a 300mm front disc and a 270mm rear disc which are aided by a dual-channel ABS as standard.

In terms of features, it comes with a semi-digital instrument console, a USB charger, circular LED DRL and a side-stand engine inhibitor, among many.

Speaking about the new range and enhancements on the Meteor 350, B Govindarajan, CEO – Royal Enfield said, “As we reflect on the remarkable success of the Meteor 350 in India and international markets it is evident that the Meteor has struck a chord with many long distance riders and motorcycling enthusiasts. Its dynamic cruising ability and dependable performance have resonated deeply with our riders.

The Aurora range is a result of our constant interactions with our community of riders, where we witnessed a strong inclination towards retro-inspired cruisers. The new colourways and features are sure to elevate the pleasure of pure retro-cruising among our customers.”

Sorry, not a girl, but still want something. Could we get special train cars that transport motorcycles so that motorcyclists could travel long distances to new touring areas more safely? Pros are the following:

1. We conflate two non main stream means of travel and by doing so move more people away from cars.

2. People can now use smaller vehicles to travel long distances, for example, currently the only bikes able to go new york to LA (comfortably) are huge highway touring bikes, Streetglides, Goldwings, GS's and the like. But with train compatibility, a tiny 250cc dirtbike that gets 100mpg could get you anywhere coast to coast.

3. Motorcycles are small. I don't know much about train car sizes, but with some clever packing you could fit a whole lot onto 1 train car!

4. Safety benifits, motorcycles are dangerous trains are not, by making long journeys mostly train we save lives.

Girls, what do you want from a train service and how can Amtrak improve over the next 10 years to better serve you.
