The "uwu yasha housewife" crowd and the "yasha is a femme always in sundresses" crowd and the "people that fucking annoy and bore me to tears" crowd are a venn diagram that is mostly a circle but what gets me so mad is that it IS possible to do housewife yasha if you're not regurgitating r*dfem rhetoric. Remember Izumi from Fullmetal alchemist? The fucking fighting master who regularly wowed people with her strength and prowess and, when asked what she was, proudly bellowed "housewife?" That's Yasha, except Yasha's bigger. Stop doing bioessentialist t*rf work for them. Housewife doesn't mean tr*dwife. It doesn't mean she gave up the strength she's proud of, it doesn't mean she was only ever strong because of trauma and yearned to be some waifish slip of a girl. It's not hard. And you don't have to put every f/f couple into a butch/femme lens, but that's another post I've already made.

Hey liv! Do you know any fics that have Draco (or Harry) as a bartender or that are set mostly in a bar? Thanks in advance! :)
Hi anon! Sure thing, here are some recs:
Thanks for all the Fish by dracogotgame (T, 2k)
Harry's latest break up with Ginny gives him food for thought.
The Mispronunciations of Draco Malfoy by daisymondays (T, 4.6k)
'Muggle AU where Harry is a barista and bartender and keeps running into his most stuck-up customer’ aka ‘All the times Harry managed to mispronounce Draco and the one time he got it right.’
Pub Night by sdk (E, 7k)
In a cramped loo at The Bitter End, what Harry and Draco do is only about one thing: getting off. ...Isn't it?
An Aching Soul by writcraft (M, 14k)
Draco Malfoy escapes to the Muggle world to avoid his parents, memories of the war and Harry Potter. However, some things prove harder to escape than others as Draco realises when his favourite Muggle haunt is rudely invaded by a post-war Harry who is struggling to cope with grief, growing up and the battle with his inner demons.
It's Friday (I'm in Love) by punk_rock_yuppie (E, 16k)
At first, Draco only hangs out with them on Fridays after work; then he starts shagging Potter after pub nights. Then all the rest of the gang tries to befriend Draco and even worse, Potter tries to date him. It’s an absolute disaster, if you ask Draco.
Take These Lies by pennygalleon (E, 20k)
There’s a portrait of his godfather in Draco Malfoy’s potions shop and Harry needs to know why. But that’s not why he keeps coming back.
Midnight in the City of a Hundred Spires by shiftylinguini (E, 25k)
Harry Potter is a missing person. Draco Malfoy is a vampire. They are the last two people one would expect to bump into each other in a Creature Bar in Prague, yet to Draco’s absolute shock that is definitely Harry fucking Potter sitting across from him. Even more surprising is that Potter may have a case for him.
Saviour of the Seas by Booktopus (E, 45k)
For the 10th Anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic has chosen to celebrate with a cruise to Norway to view the Northern Lights aboard the Savior of the Seas. Did they actually think Harry would want a bloody cruise ship named after him?
The Pure and Simple Truth by lettered (G, 65k)
Harry, Draco, and Hermione go to a pub. Harry, Draco, and Pansy go to a pub. Harry, Draco, Pansy, and Hermione go to a pub. Harry, Draco, Hermione and Ron go to a pub. Harry, Draco, Hermione, Ron, and Pansy―you guessed it―go to a pub. I could go on. In fact, I did. Harry, Draco, Hermione, Pansy, Ron, Blaise, Luna, Goyle, Neville, and Theodore Nott go to a pub. In various combinations.
Chasing Shadows by manixzen (E, 93k)
The murder of Lucius Malfoy seems impossible—no cause of death, no traces of spell-work, no potions in his system. The only leads Harry and his partner have are the trail of missing wizards the deeper they go. That and the help of the victim’s estranged son who now spends his time bartending at a queer-friendly Muggle pub.

Hi!!! I hope you just how much I adore and love “It’s A Recipe For Disaster”. 🥹 I have a thought that keeps plaguing my mind that I’d like to share but please feel free to ignore if you don’t feel like writing this! ❤️
What if one day Sid and Eddie were supposed to have their usual band practice at home and you were really looking forward to seeing him, but then you overhear Sid on the phone with Eddie telling him he can’t come over because he’s sick? But then you miss him so you decide that won’t stop you from still seeing him! So you sneak out and head over to his trailer and just take care of Eddie. 🥹 And he just acts like a confused lovesick fool the entire time because wow??? Somebody wants to actually take care of him??? Somebody gives a shit about him???
Your choice if you want this to be a continuation of the smutty blurb where they dropped the L bomb, or a continuation of the latest one you put out earlier where they became official! Or if you don’t wanna do this at all that’s perfectly okay. ❤️
I’m such a sucker for fics where Eddie takes care of the reader but that silly dorky boy also deserves to be loved and coddled and taken care of!!! 🥹❤️
hello hello my darling angel.
this literally made me so happy you don’t even know!! 😭
IARFD is honestly one of my favorite series i’ve put out behind SDK, so to hear it means so much to you as well literally makes my heart SING.
i’m working on finishing this request for you and i’m so sorry it’s taken me so long. 🥺
my brain has been a mess lately.
but hoping to have it out by the end of this week/weekend 💕

X-Files Collector’s Edition: Christmas and Emily’s Fate
Christmases... what do they mean for our intrepid heroes? Umm... ghosts and death, particularly the death of Scully’s daughter. So! We’re celebrating with an assortment of fics dealing with Scully and Mulder’s hopes and dreams: the good, the bad, and the mostly merry AUs. 
Loose Chronological order below~! 
Mainly Canon-Compliant 
Amatia‘s (mulderscreek) The Seventh Day (mulderscreek)  
““Her three-month mark was almost up, and I knew that once she reached that mark, they would drop her, as they'd dropped all the others, from the Project. Fill her full of mind-wiping dope, plant the chip, and unhook the baby, therefore setting off the chip's timeclock.
For three months, Clone 1-SDK had lived in a tank of nutrient fluid, connected to her mother by the alien umbilical cord, and some wires that wound around it. The moment that alien cord was severed, the chip was activated so that if it was removed, the cancer would begin. Clone 1-SDK was also programmed, programmed so that if her treatment was stopped, a different form of cancer would begin.””
Scully’s captivity draws to its close as her soulless captors-- along with none other than Alex Krycek-- is there to prep her and her baby for the next stage of their unwitting lives. 
@foxanddanapetrie​‘s (Ao3) Don’t Let Her Get Hurt This Time 
““She has a daughter. Mulder has envisioned just about every scenario of their life together.  Scully and him dating, them getting married, them having kids - a daughter, a son maybe.  Adopting a kid they might have stumbled across on a case. He’s imagined them buying a house - in the city or in the country.  He thinks about what they’d decorate their house with. He’s decided that he’ll let her decorate. Probably with some things from her mother’s house.  He’s imagined her as a mom, him as a dad watching their kids open Christmas presents while she holds a mug of tea to keep her hands warm. But he never imagined this.
He’s driving 20 over the speed limit in the 1992 rental car he snagged for cheap on his way out of the airport.  He doesn’t care if anything happens to it.””
Mulder speeds to Scully and Emily, making wild plans of their future together. His hopes and anxieties only increase after he meets her.
@kateyes224‘s (Ao3) 
Things You Said - Chapter 2 
““It took three days, but she finally stopped hanging up as soon as she heard my voice.  Something was wrong, I could hear it in the crushing silence on the other end of the line before a =click= signaled that the call was dead and I was left staring at the receiver, dumbfounded, growing angrier by the second at the interminable drone of the dial tone....
When had she ever not had words for me?”” 
Mulder’s hurt and dread builds after Scully’s aborted call; but it vanishes when she finally loops him into the tragedy unfolding in California. 
Unnamed  
““Scully thought, not for the first time, how gravely serious her daughter was.  How little she smiled.  Emily lifted a small hand to Scully’s face.  “It’s okay, I’ve been to the hospital before.  My mommy used to tell me secrets on the way.  Tell me a secret.” Scully swallowed hard, closing her eyes before meeting Mulder’s gaze again in the rear view mirror.  She tried to smile at Emily, brushing the girl’s damp hair back from her face.  “Okay…well, you know my friend, Mulder?” 
Emily nodded silently.  “He doesn’t like anybody to know this, but his real name is Fox.”
Emily’s forehead scrunched.  “Fox?  Like Robin Hood?” This time, Scully’s smile was genuine as she heard Mulder chuff a laugh from the front seat.”” 
Emily wakes in the car on the way to the hospital; and Scully bonds with her while very aware of Mulder’s quiet vigilance. 
Donna’s (Gossamer, mulderscreek) 
I’m On My Way (Gossamer) 
““She was definitely not okay. "An X-file?" He tried to make his tone light, but knew, at least with this woman, he had failed.
"Apparently so."
That stopped him again. For her to admit something like that . . . his stomach hurt.””
Mulder’s fairly relaxing Christmas is turned upside down by Scully’s tearful call. 
His Emily Thoughts (Gossamer) 
““Emily was a special needs child.  He'd done his research.  The child would never be well, would probably not live to a ripe old age.  And Scully would be hurt again.  The question was should she endure the hurt now or later.  Either way, it was inevitable and that thought was devastating to him.
And he would not be there to help her.  Oh, he'd be there as much as she allowed, but this was Scully.  She would want to take on this burden and not admit she needed any help.  His help.””
Mulder’s stomach is in knots as he sits on the Scully couch-- feeling ominous about the future and hurt thinking he’d be shut out either way. 
Feeling Safe (Gossamer) 
““Safe.  A strange word, especially now, but it seemed to be the correct description for what she was feeling.  She was watching his hands gripping the steering wheel - so strong, his fingers lean and tanned.  He wasn't looking at her, concentrating instead on the road, but she knew he was totally aware of her.  He was trying to give her the space he thought she wanted.  For that she was grateful, much more solicitousness and she would explode.
That was why she has chosen to ride with him.””
Mulder is driving her home, and Scully feels safe-- so much so that she plans to fall apart with him once she arrives back at her place. 
After Emily (Gossamer) 
““He took the stairs down to the basement, ignoring the elevator.  He was in a hurry.  The door was open and the light on.  That startled him and he slowed.  Who would be here this late?  For sure they didn't belong.””
Mulder is pulled up short by the sight of Scully crying in the office after closing hours. He understands, and assures her she is not alone. 
XP1′s Still Waters 
““I’m not expressing...myself...correctly. Or very well. Or even…” He sighed and brought his hands to her biceps, stepped a bit closer. He whispered to her so closely his words stirred what loose strands of hair she had at her crown. “I...I need you to know that there’s...meaning...behind this, what I’m saying, or, asking...that this isn’t…”
She put a hand to his chest and patted once, then rubbed. He wasn’t sure who the touch was meant to console. He couldn’t watch a child die, he thought, and ... he could not watch her do the same. He bit his lip to still some of the depths of his feelings. His breathing was ragged, but she moved closer, rubbed the tension he was putting on his jaw.
“I know.” she told him, tipping her head up. The tip of her nose brushed his chin. “I know you. I know.” His jaw clenched and the lids of his eyes were hot with the promise of tears.
“Relax”. She asked of him. He tried, took a breath. “Relax.” she repeated, and so he was, after a moment.””
Mulder is brimming with anger and stress in the wake of his custody testimony; and desperation for solutions leads him to propose to Scully. He is appalled that she rejects: not at her rejection so much as his perception of her defeat. In a beautiful moment of absolute honesty, Scully lays out for him the sad realities of Emily’s impending demise, using her pain to save all three of them.
The characterization and dialogue in this piece is next-level. Mulder’s speech is phrased exactly how he’s acted on-screen; and Scully’s gentle honesty, while hard for her to admit, saves her and Mulder and Emily from more pain. 
Highly recommend reading! 
Fialka‘s Soliloquy 01 - Bill Scully 
““You took one of my sisters, then you almost took the other. Now she's sitting on the couch, crying her heart out, and what do you do? You just sit there, talking about nothing. Oh, you say, but she's not crying. That's what I mean. You don't know her. Dana doesn't cry with tears. She cries with silence. Mom knows that. Lookat her over there, fixing coffee for all of us. She's waiting.””
Bill internally directs his hatred at Mulder, darkly reminiscing about all the times he’d taken up for his sister. He settles into simmering resentment that she shuts all but her partner out.
stellar_dust’s (Ao3) Family (Ao3) 
““Wait!  I need to  need to take a sample, we've got to get this analyzed ..." her voice trailed off as she searched frantically in her pockets for a vial.
"Scully, no."  Mulder reached out and grasped her hand, stilling it. "Don't do this to yourself ... let her go."  
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, heaved it out, swallowing.  He was right.  "All right."  She nodded.  "Give me give me one more second.””
Mulder stops Scully from taking a sand sample from the coffin, kindly affirming her choices and reflecting more deeply on the ones that his parents had made.
@baronessblixen​​‘s (Ao3) 
Unnamed Prompt #24 
““She's had to say goodbye to Emily before she had the chance to properly say hello. Baby Matthew might never know he had a cousin named Emily, once.
"I should go inside," she says, opening her eyes and biting her bottom lip. Inside, they'll look at her, pity her, watch her with curious eyes when she holds her nephew. She is not ready. What will she see once she turns to Mulder? Is that how he’s going to look at her, too?””
Scully is in the throws of grief after Emily’s death, and dreads walking back inside seeing everyone’s pity and sadness. Mulder understands and knows how to support. 
Unnamed Prompt for cuddle fic  
“““I’m sorry, Mulder. I didn’t meanto-” Scully’s voice is dull, is teary, is too much. Mulder listens with hisear close to the answering machine. Another click – the message is over. He rewindsthe message again and again. Something is wrong. The lights still off, Muldergrabs his coat again. The food on the table is forgotten, as are the files. Hisonly thought is Scully.””
Mulder receives a morbid, unfinished call from Scully on New Years, and rushes over. She just wanted company for the first holiday after her daughter’s death. 
Dashing Through the Snow 
““"Scully, look." Maybe it's because his voice is full of wonderment that she does follow the direction of his finger. The park across the street looks like a tiny winter wonderland with its snow-touched trees and meadows. That's not what Mulder means to show her, though. Scully watches as children of all ages sled down a small hill and she'll blame the cold wind for it, her eyes start watering.
"We need to get back to work, Mulder." She doesn't want to see this.””
Mulder helps Scully navigate her complicated pain around children; and the two end up borrowing one of the park kiddies’ sleds.
@frogsmulder​​/Brynstein‘s “I’m right where I belong” (Ao3) 
““In unison, they make their way to her couch, like they’ve always done it like this: him entertaining a little three year old whilst her mother cooks up a feast of spaghetti bolognaise fit for kings; telling her stories of mothman and bigfoot whilst she drew her interpretations with the crayon in her chubby toddler hand. And of course the Mr Potato head impressions that had her in fits of giggles and rolling around on the floor much to her mother’s delight. Like he didn’t play the part of domestic husband, washing the plates and dishes and cleaning up the crayons, whilst Scully had bathed her daughter and put her to bed.””
A happier reality with Emily alive and love blossoming is followed up immediately by the harsh reality of Scully’s loss and their mutual pain.
Piper’s Pajamas 
““I stand against the wall, silently bearing witness to this ritual of closure.  I don't respond to her statement - somehow I don't think that she expected me to.  There's really no reason for me to be here.  As experienced as I am in self-torture, today Scully is beating me by a mile.  All I do is keep vigil as she stubbornly insists on boxing up the clothing that she bought in such blind hope for Emily, now about to be worn by some Goodwill kid who doesn't know even know how lucky she is to be alive.””
Mulder silently witnesses Scully’s grief as she packs up Emily’s clothes for donation, both knowing that her death crushed both of their dreams.
Alanna’s Fortress 
““We're on a freeway, heading somewhere.  Driving around in circles, mimicking our souls.   Cars zip around us but I barely notice the road.  I need to touch her, to make sure she is still there inside her shell -- that she hasn't slipped away from me altogether.  So I reach my right hand over and lay it gently on the back of her hand, painfully contracting my arm muscles so that I might not hurt or startle her.  She turns toward me and the traffic is sparse so I hazard a quick glance at her, my eyes meeting hers. 
And then her hand moves under mine and her palm meets my own, her fingers twining into mine.””
Shattered Mulder decides to keep driving so he and Scully can have time to bind up their compounding wounds. He is relieved he opens up on their Tijuana detour, heartbreakingly honest though it may be.
@greekowl87​/@darkesttimelinestuff​ ‘s (Ao3) Drabbles Collection - Chapter 2 
““He hugged her tightly, ignorant of the potential older brother danger as she cried harder. He closed his eyes, wishing and willing to take all of her pain away.
“I just wanted a chance, Mulder.””
A case keeps Scully longer in San Diego; and finally she breaks. Mulder comforts her in her purgatory.
@the-spooky-alien​ ‘s Day 10 of Fictober  ““''Sometimes I think it would be better if you stayed away from me.'' It sounds weak in the air between them. Every words shake under the weight of his guilt. His eyes never leave the road. She wishes he would look at her.”” Scully insists Mulder pull over so that she can instantly squash his self-loathing; however, she still can’t fully admit why she chose him.
Diana Alexander‘s Introspections 
““After my cancer was cured, I had to get used to actually *living* again.  I was so prepared to meet Death with stubborn will blazing in my eyes, and a straight spine that I hadn't really prepared myself for the chance that there would be a cure that would keep me in this world a little while longer. I was lost for a long time afterwards, and now, at Christmas, I get the biggest blow since I discovered the cancer that was lodged in my head.””
Scully had been prepared to lose the fight to cancer; but can’t seem to recover from the painful loss of her daughter. She retreats internally to lick her wounds.
@starbuck09256​‘s (Ao3) Hope  
““Everytime she closes her eyes she sees a scared little face begging her to stop the tests. She sees Mulder clutching yellow flowers too tightly as his own sorrow for her pours from his eyes. He knows what this tiny child was to her. He knows that she wanted another life another path, not because of him or their quest. But because fate had chosen her to live on, she had been returned survived the incurable and yet her destiny wasn’t to find the joys that she had forsaken it was as if she was being punished for fighting.””
Mulder barges into Scully’s apartment, refusing to let her shut him out. His comfort and common sense make all the difference.
Sheryl Martin��s
Tradition 
““Dropping the suitcase by the stairs, she walked into the kitchen and put the kettle on; making a mental note to call Dana in a few hours and see how she was feeling. She had looked pretty rough in the car. Hadn't slept a wink on the flight, although she had put her head down on Mulder's shoulder for most of the time. He hadn't said a word, just put his hand atop hers and looked quickly over for approval. A smile was all he needed, and a slight nod of her head. He'd take care of her as best he could. And she had faith in him.””
Maggie adds Emily to the family Bible because she was her granddaughter no matter what.
A Mother’s Thoughts 
““Whatever the mystery behind her existence, she was still my grandchild - maybe the one I'll miss the most. But no matter how much I talk to the priest; how many candles I light and prayers I say for all of them, I still don't understand why. Specifically, why me. Why Dana. Why Fox.””
Maggie’s pain over their combined familial loss in Emily’s death bleeds into her doubts and constant questions to God. It’s a hard road trying to trust in His plan. 
Gillian Leigh‘s (mulderscreek) Sleepless Roads  
““Stepping into the living room, she stopped short of saying her daughter's name a third time when she found her sitting on the couch, sound asleep with her laptop open on her lap. There was a large postal manila envelope on the couch beside her marked with the words "Films Included: Do Not X-Ray". A quick glance at the screen of the laptop showed her that her daughter had been researching adoption. Puzzled, she gently shook Scully's shoulder to wake her.””
Maggie is the quiet glue keeping Scully together; but she makes time to drop in on Mulder and make sure he’s getting some sleep. She convinces her daughter not to shut him out; but isn’t privy to the bigger bombshell that Scully reveals to Mulder later.
@i-gaze-at-scully‘s (Ao3) 
Chapter One: Protect  
““On a plane to California, Mulder considers briefly if the ova he carries in his pocket should be allowed past airport security. He’s a federal agent, so no one really ever asks, but he wonders. He turns the cylinder over in his pocket, the smooth surface spinning, spinning under his fingertips. She has no idea. Tens of thousands of feet in the air and he knows he’s about to drop the biggest bomb on the person he cares most about in this world. He hopes it is the right decision.””
Mulder’s developing thoughts throughout the episode crescendo in love and happiness when he finds a cure for little Emily. He assures Scully she won’t be raising her alone. 
All I Want for Christmas (Ao3) 
““Scully is not a last minute shopper. She has all her gifts purchased, wrapped, and packed by 9 AM, December 24. She’ll drive to Annapolis on Christmas morning, early to beat the traffic, and spend the day accepting her mother’s well-intentioned pity. Dana, could you help me in the kitchen? Dana, would you ask Tara to grab your brother? I want to take a picture of you two. Maggie knows. 
Mulder, Mulder knows too.””
Scully is so grateful that Mulder distracted her from the painful reminder of last Christmas that she gets him an extra special gift. 
Mystic‘s Beautiful Release
““Her eyes stung as she wiped at them and looked back to the window, not able to sleep without dreaming about Emily.
She sometimes wondered just why the girl had affected her so much. How she'd been able to become attached so quickly to her.  
She tried to stop herself from thinking her name, but it didn't work.  It had etched into her mind as had countless other moments and names in her life.  She could only make Emily go away by thinking of Mulder and that brought her pain too. ””
Mulder and Scully finally make that next step when a case stirs up a painful Emily reminder. 
AUs 
Jennifer Brady’s December 
““Scully brought my world down in the simple words she spoke. "Mulder, I need you," Maybe those were'nt her *exact* words, but that's what I heard. You know me, when Scully needs anything that I can provide, I'm all over it. So here I am, out the front door, heading to my partner's side. 
I really would'nt have it any other way.””
The devastation of Emily’s death pushes Mulder and Scully closer together. 
Maidenjedi’s Would That I Could Travel Both
““She went to California a single lady in her thirties. Hard not to think about her age and her marital status in one sentence like that; she'd been thinking too much about families and love and her place in the world. And then Bill and Tara were standing outside the terminal waiting for Dana and Maggie, Tara as big as a house and a year younger than her sister-in-law. It was a lot to take.””
Amidst many assorted AUs, Scully leaves the FBI to become Emily’s mom, much to Mulder’s resigned and pained disappointment.
@leiascully​‘s (Ao3) Unnamed
““Under observation, they spend several days with Emily.  Mulder promises to take her to Disneyland in the summer.  Her face lights up.  The social worker smiles and makes notes on her clipboard.””
Mulder and Scully rush into marriage to adopt Emily and quit the FBI. Fortunately for them, Mulder is independently wealthy and ready to re-prioritize his life.
@scapegrace74-blog​​‘s (Ao3) Wraith
““Perplexed and perhaps a bit put off by the fact that Scully was entertaining a guest in her pajamas with no make-up, he made his way cautiously to the kitchen.   An empty cereal bowl and a half-drunk glass of orange juice were laid out on the table, but there was no other sign of occupation.
Scully stood by the doorway, her bloodshot eyes shining brightly, and gestured toward the empty kitchen chair.
“Mulder, I’d like you to meet Lily.””
Scully is gradually descending into madness-- or Mulder thinks so, until he arrives barely in time to see a wraith drowning her.
Donna’s (Gossamer, mulderscreek)
Trick or Treat (Gossamer)
““This wasn't happening.  He wasn't having a conversation with Emily, Scully's Emily.  Even if . . . if Emily had lived, she'd be older.  And she hadn't lived.  Okay, the body had been stolen, but she had been dead.  He'd been there.
"For Halloween."
"Oh."  This was not happening.  Who was this little girl, and where were her parents?””
Mulder is shocked to see Emily’s spirit within eyesight everytime he tries to meet up with Diana. The little girl has some sage advice for him and his relationship with Scully. 
jeri‘s (mulderscreek) Ersatz Matriarch 
““Scully studied the paper carefully. "Do you think it's really over? Could we possibly lead normal lives?"
"Only one way to find out." He dropped the sheet and held her hands tightly in his own. "Marry me, Scully. I mean, like next week. Before the boys are born."
Scully blinked. "What?””
Mulder and Scully decide to use their downtime under Kersh to pursue IVF-- after faking a marriage at the clinic and failing at their first round, they scrounge up a successful surrogate and begin the rocky road to parenthood (while being deluged with weird X-File info about the pregnancy from Marita, congratulating a newly-married Byers, and avoiding Bill’s newest tantrum.) Skinner even manages to make their New Years the best yet.
sohmer‘s discrete edges 
““i'm not unhappy, she thinks suddenly. mulder coughs beside her and she blinks several times in rapid succession in an attempt to refocus her vision. her surroundings click into place.
the thought comes again, louder. it hurts her like vertigo, like ice on naked skin. not unhappy, she tells herself. discomfort comes to mind, or perhaps loneliness. i hadn’t felt lonely with emily.””
Scully’s repressed pain over Emily builds and builds after a trip to Skinner’s Christmas Party. Mulder bides his time, slowly peeling the words out of her. 
@ghostbustermelanieking​/skuls‘s (Alt. Ao3) 
Christmas Ficlets - Chapter 2 
““She's felt sick on and off these past weeks, growing dizzy and nauseous and eventually having to lean over the sink the night before, but she never expected this. Never thought she'd actually faint at work.
One minute, she's standing by a festoon of Christmas decorations in the hallway (the FBI has Christmas decorations?) and arguing the authenticity of Mulder's toxic slime theory, and the next, her vision is spotted and her legs are weak, the room spinning as she falls and darkness falling like a curtain.””
Requiem--Scully faints at the office; but the panic that gripped her and Mulder melts with their shocking pregnancy news. They barely contain themselves before telling Emily back home. 
where the love light gleams  
““William wants to know about their mother. “Did you ever know her?” he asks Emily one day, shoving away the copy of Peter Pan. He’s been asking questions tiredly for the past couple of weeks, and she’s been avoiding them, doesn’t want to let him down.
She thinks she had parents, a long time ago, but they can’t be William’s parents because they died. She remembers that. And her mother always told her she was adopted, so that must mean she has a different mother somewhere. She thinks she remembers someone who sat with her on the floor and colored, who whispered things about how they might live together someday. She thinks that the woman had bright hair like her, eyes and freckles like hers and William’s.””
In an alternate universe, Emily was shuffled off to a compound run by the CSM; soon to be joined by a captured William. Following the few and vague memories she has to rely on, the two are able to escape and try to find a way to West Virginia (with help from an unnamed woman who seems to recognize them.) 
Lapsed_Scholar’s Family Stories
“““It’s Picture Day next week,” explains Emily, still serious. “Mrs. Martin gave us forms. I want to be pretty for the picture, so I need a pretty dress.”
“You look pretty every day, sweetheart. You don’t need a special dress for that.” She’s trying to reassure, but Emily looks up at her, small face conveying disapproval, so she hurries to clarify, “But picture day is a special occasion, and a special occasion does deserve a special dress.”
She’s still fairly new to this—parenting. She wonders if parents who have more experience are more prepared for these conversations, or if it’s something that you always just sort of fumble through.””
This series deals with Mulder and Scully navigating the uncharted waters of parenting Emily-- as new parents, then as parents on the run with their children, then as parents of a teen girl with a rambunctious little brother. But they wouldn’t trade it for the world. 
Wheeeeeew! That’s over! Hope you all have a merry feast of angsty fics~. 
Enjoy!

so we’ve got these terrible security cameras that run off a pci card. the software and hardware is very proprietary and hasn’t been updated in years, to the point it has to have windows xp 32 bit to work. the software also is hardcoded to not be able to export video recorded after december 31 2020.
in an effort to find Something Better, i found drivers for the specific chipset on the card. the drivers are for a tv tuner card, but surprisingly they actually work, and allow me to get video from the pci card into other software, but only on input #1 (the pci card has four composite video inputs) if i put the tv tuner card in “fm tuner” mode, it shows video from input #2
the video is looks like higher quality. or maybe it’s just raw composite video now and the awful dvr program does some kind of terrible compression to it before even showing the live preview
plain simple vidcap32.exe from the windows nt sdk is the only thing ive found that lets me switch the inputs on the card and configure the video source, it’s changes stick though and are retained by other programs, but it still leaves me with only one usable input at a time, and i haven’t found any way to access inputs 3 and 4
no security dvr software i’ve found supports a card with multiple inputs like this. most of them are just as poorly designed. why do they all have their own weird ui with huge shiny buttons instead of using the standard windows interface.
i found one dvr software that had a nearly identical horrible ui to the original, just changed to more modern aesthetics. i thought this might be what the camera manufacturers licensed and slapped their name onto and it might be compatible. it’s not. that company has a similar card available too, but it seems to act as a dongle and without it the dvr software will only work with ip cameras.

Near Term Future of Generative AI
Ark Invest forecasts a massive drop in the cost to train generative AI models and a massive increase in the size of AI models. AI models will increase to hundreds of trillions of parameters. The limitation will not be the training cost. The limitation will be the training data and those with better and proprietary training data will be the winners.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The increase in model size is currently trending to limits in the quality and accuracy of the AI. However, thousands of companies and billions of dollars are being spent to surpass current limits.
The current foreseeable limits seem to be near or beyond human capabilities. This will make the future AI very economically valuable and impactful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The human brain has 100 billion neurons and more than 100 trillion parameters in a biological-neural-network system. In 2022, Graphcore laid out a roadmap to IPU technology that will be used for an AI supercomputer to deliver the following capabilities:
Over 10 Exa-Flops of AI floating point compute Up to 4 Petabytes of memory with a bandwidth of over 10 Petabytes/second Support for AI model sizes of 500 trillion parameters 3D wafer on wafer logic stack Fully supported by our Poplar® SDK Expected cost: ~$120 million (configuration dependent)
Graphcore has been funded with $682 million.

Master The Flick Of The Wrist With These Climactic Solo Sex Positions
Let's master the flick of the wrist.
Kiarra Sylvester
May. 10, 2019 06:31PM EST
Optimal positioning is … well… optimal for solo sex. It seems like lying on your back is enough but we deserve so much more than the bare minimum. After all, if we don't make our own pleasure priority, then how will we demand that others? Just like with actual sex, there are some positions that can reach a little bit further than others, and you'd be foolish to rollover without getting the most out of your masturbation time.
Every time I switch it up, I'm amazed at how much more thrilling the intensity and sensation is, and I almost never regret it. The best part about switching it up is that I, personally anyway, feel that I'm able to simulate an intimate type of pleasure derived from partner sex. I can hug breasts while I ride the grooves of my toys. I can speed it up and I can slow it down. I can pretend I'm riding an actual dick, should I be in the mood for the real thing. 
There are so many small wins in switching up your positions while you sex yourself and we could talk about those all day. In honor of May being National Masturbation Month, I thought it'd be more interesting if I gave you the 4 positions likely to wear you out as I master the flick of the wrist. 
1.The Titty Twist & Armchair Straddle
I stan all standing positions for masturbating, but this one is a real one because it promotes titty play. My breasts are my hotspot, always have been. The only thing that saddens me is that I'm not able to do more for them, but I do what I can making sure that I caress and arouse them as much as a man would (a man without a tongue, of course). Additionally, standing for masturbation is a jackpot position bound to make you light up.
2.The Squat-and-Rock
If you really love girl on top, this one has your name written all over it. You'll feel the burn as you would if you were dropping down and getting your Eagle on and rock while playing with yourself.
3.The Invisible Man
One of my personal favorites. I often use this one to imagine I'm having the most unimaginable, mind-blowing sex with the man I don't have. Sometimes I straddle my knees further apart to expose my uber innie clitoris. I also prefer to use this position when I'm using my rabbit, which allows me to ride, but make no mistake I'll ride the hell out of my bullet too. This or anything semi-doggystyle are some of my most preferred methods of getting off.
4.The One Person Three-Way
When I peeped that was an actual position, some part of me got really hype. I suppose I should know by now that it's all been done before but in the moment that I'm doing it, it feels so odd and creative. Still, it's one of my favorite positions when I lift my legs up in this way.

Apparently a subset of people are theorizing happily that Fearne won't feel as close to Orym when she hears about Bor'dor and not only is that a bad faith reading of their dynamic, what show have you been watching? Fearne considers Orym her moral compass. If anything, hearing Orym let Laudna kill someone will result in Fearne making a mental note that murder is sometimes okay and brainstorming under what circumstances she can do the same.

HP Rec Fest, Day 27
Omg day 27 already?! I can’t believe this fest is almost done :( today’s prompt for @hprecfest is fun but also challenging for those (like me) who read way more canon-based fic than AUs. But I do love a good challenge so I decided to go full non-magical AU instead of picking a “Draco in the Muggle World” AU. And since I’ve been sick in bed with a lot of time in my hands I thought why not rec 2 Drarry fics + 1 rare pair. As you’ll see I love rivals to lovers a normal amount so that naturally makes Sports AU my absolute obsession jam. I’m so happy to include in one single post an old fave, a recent fave and my favourite rare pair. Run don’t walk!
Day 27) a Muggle-AU fic:
Drarry
🏒 Mad Blood Stirring by provocative_envy (E, 3k)
It's not like they've been angrily hooking up on the sly since meeting at a Juniors skills camp in fucking Manitoba four years ago, except that's exactly what they've been doing. ALTERNATIVELY: Draco and Harry really need to talk about their feelings.
fucking finally, the perfect excuse to cheekily include my fave sports/non-magical AUs and scream non-stop about them! I couldn’t care less for hockey, and yet I’ve reread this classic more times than I care to admit. this is superb rivals with benefits to lovers (my fave!), super hot and hilariously chaotic as all Drarry things should be. PE nails both characters in a non-magical setting perfectly - their voices are a delight and the constant flirting bickering made me lol every 3 seconds. they are so deliciously crazy for each other I could stay in this verse forever just watching them pine, play & fuck throughout the season - make sure to go check the FlintWood piece here, it’s equally brilliant! def a classic sports AU to reread over and over.
🚣‍♀️ Our Objective Remains Unchanged by @citrusses (E, 46k)
Harry Potter, returning member of the Oxford University Boat Club, has two goals for the spring of 2005: beat Cambridge, and beat Draco Malfoy. Perhaps not in that order.
an instant 2023 fave, this is the rowing AU I did not know I needed but boy, am I happy it found me 🙏🏼 citrus got me shooketh from beginning to end, I am awed by the world building and the whole Oxford way of life especially the classism aspect and the training ethos. everything is so vivid and refreshing and unlike anything I’ve seen in the fandom so far. the fic incorporates many canon elements and balances dialogue, world building and character development flawlessly. being in Harry’s head is an emotional ride, he’s a wonderful and relatable character and I just wanted him to be happy so badly. Draco’s arc is equally moving (I was screaming at his reappearance) and this is peak rivals to lovers!!! I was very invested in the competition and the romance is so so lovely and real. I felt incredibly sad and lost when I finished this fic because I wanted to stay in this universe forever. fun, inventive, sophisticated and surprising in the best ways, go read it now
Rare pair
Shut Up and Kiss Me by @unmistakablyoatmeal (Harry/Teddy, E, 7.7k)
There's a reason Harry walks an extra ten blocks to go to the shops and it has nothing to do with onions.
smitten Harry my beloved!!!! I’m so weak for this ship and this shop AU is the cutest thing you’ll read today, I love swooning Harry daydreaming about Teddy and being an absolute dork around him. it’s so funny (and mildly embarrassing) to watch him pine over this cool, charming, and confident young Teddy who’s not afraid to get what he wants 🌝 the clubbing scene deserves special kudos for its depiction of ageism in queer spaces and how older folks sometimes struggle to fit in. for all their differences I love how Harry and Teddy instantly click, the casual-not-so-casual flirting flows smoothly between them until the UST breaks with deliciously hot smut as per sdk’s usual. a sweet AU to check before the year ends!

What is Flutter and Why 2024 Is the Perfect Time to Learn It?
Tumblr media
Mobile applications have become more and more common this year. Fortunately, developers who wish to make them have access to a wide variety of programming tools. Flutter is one of these tools that has been making waves lately.
Flutter: What is it? Google announced Flutter, a free and open-source mobile user interface framework, in May 2017. To put it briefly, it lets you use a single codebase to generate native mobile applications. This implies that you can create two distinct apps (for iOS and Android) using the same programming language and codebase.
Flutter is made up of two key components:
A set of tools called an SDK (Software Development Kit) will assist you in creating applications. Included in this are resources for converting your code into native machine code (iOS and Android code).
A Framework (UI Library based on widgets) is an assortment of reusable user interface components (such as text input fields, sliders, buttons, and so forth) that you can customize to suit your requirements.
You will use the programming language Dart to work using Flutter. Although Google invented the language in October 2011, it has seen significant improvement in the intervening years.
Dart is a front-end programming toolkit that may be used to create web and mobile applications.
Dart is a typed object programming language, for those who know a little bit about programming. The syntax of Dart is similar to that of JavaScript.
Google's UI toolkit, Flutter, allows developers to create stunning natively built desktop, web, and mobile applications from a single codebase. Search engine, flutter.dev
Why would you want to learn Flutter? I've chosen a few of my favorite Flutter features and the reasons I plan to use it in the upcoming year. Details and my thoughts are provided below.
Easy to use and understand You can sense that Flutter is a contemporary framework! Using it to construct mobile applications is much easier. You will note that Flutter differs from Java, Swift, and React Native if you have used any of these. Before utilizing Flutter, I had little interest in developing mobile applications.
I adore Flutter because it makes it possible to construct a truly native application without writing a ton of code.
Fast compilation for optimal output You can alter your code and witness the real-time consequences because of Flutter. It's known as Hot-Reload. Once you save, updating the application itself just takes a little while. You must reload the application if there are significant changes. However, when working on projects like design, for instance, you can alter an element's size instantly!
Suitable for MVP launches Flutter is an excellent option if you want to present your idea to investors as soon as feasible.
My top 4 arguments for using it for your MVP are as follows: Since you don't have to make and manage two mobile apps—one for iOS and one for Android��developing a mobile application with Flutter is less expensive.
To design your MVP, all you need is one developer.
You won't be able to tell a Flutter app from a native application because of its performance.
t's gorgeous; you can quickly customize it with the widgets offered by Flutter to produce a useful user interface for your clients VS Code and Android Studio-compatible,  Flutter is accessible through a variety of IDEs. For development with this technology, VS Code and Android Studio (IntelliJ) are the two primary code editors.
Android Studio is a fully functional software that comes with everything pre-integrated. To get started, you must download the Flutter and Dart plugins.
VS Code is a little application with configurable features thanks to third-party plugins.
I use Android Studio since it requires minimal configuration to function.
You can select the IDE of your choice!
Are you attempting to create a fully functioning cross-platform application that provides an enjoyable user experience? Now there's another place to search! As a reputable Flutter app development firm, we have developed feature-rich apps for companies and startups worldwide. The skilled Flutter app developers at Mobantica are dedicated to bringing your idea to life and offering the best possible mobile app solutions. Hire Flutter developer to validate your business idea, and get in contact with us right now.
Conclusion: So, what are your thoughts on Flutter? Next year, are you going to begin studying it?
I hope you were intrigued and inspired by this introduction. If you enjoyed this post, please consider sharing it. 
You may follow me on Twitter, where I tweet about web development, personal growth, and my path as a full-stack developer if you want to see more posts like this one!
