You've Got to Know When to Hold'em - A Tedbecca Fanfic Recommendation

Summary: Ted goes back to Kansas to his son and his ex-wife and life should be happy, right? When it isn't and Ted finds himself in the midst of a panic attack with no one to turn to, he calls up the only person he can think of: Rebecca. When both Ted and Rebecca end up reaching their breaking points, Ted has to find his way back to happiness with the one person that always makes him happy. He's built a lot in Richmond, but he finally gets the chance to build a life with the woman he loves.

Post-series Fix-it fic that gets Ted and Rebecca together, gets Roy and Keeley back together in the background, and gives Ted the happy ending he deserves surrounded by the family he built.

2023 FFRC - June

Hello friends! I hope your June was beautiful and full of things that made you happy. My mom came to visit for a week. It was nice to have her here, but we were not sad that her visit came to an end. We also took our kids to see Blink-182 last night and it was amazing. We've now seen them three times and they do not disappoint! 🐰

As far as the @fanfic-reading-challenge - I'm 10 tasks away from finishing the whole thing - (4 of which I can't finish until December) so that's neat. Do any of you have a suggestion for a fic where someone is writing or has written fanfiction? (That's the only task I still need help with because the rest are number related). Hit me up if you have suggestions. :)

June 2023

Anyway - I read lots of really great stories this month. 6 new pairings. 36 new authors. As always - I've gathered a couple recs for you! Try these - I hope you enjoy them. 🖤🖤

You've Got to Know When to Hold'em by @irollforinitiative (TedBecca - E 12/12) Notes: A post-series fix-it fic that gets Ted and Rebecca together, gets Roy and Keeley back together in the background, and gives Ted the happy ending he deserved surrounded by the family he built.

A Solitary Raven by Agmo (Wenvier - T 10/10) Notes: This is a canon-divergent fic, where Xavier is able to slide into Wednesday's first vision with Goody Addams when she tells her that Ravens must be alone... and he calls bullshit. This is ABSOLUTELY wonderful and the character growth is *chef's kiss*

--*--

Anyway - I'm happy you're here! I hope your summer is glorious! See you back here in a few weeks! Happy reading - and Happy Canada Day!! 🍁🤍🍁

S'wawsome santa gift for shipping_and_tears! Bitty's got a lot on his plate during the Fall semester of his Junior year. Between hiding his relationship with Jack, missing Jack, and not being able to give hockey 100% anymore, the additional worry of what to get Jack for Christmas is just too much. So, Bitty finds an outlet for all that stress and worry: the Better Bitty Booty Bureau. Bitty works on his behind, Ransom and Holster fret like mother hens, and a comedy of errors ensues.

Mystrade Fic Recs - Drag!

Based on a comment by @sherlockedcarmilla​ in a previous thread stemming from the Lady Bracknell GIFs, here are a few good fics where our boys dress in drag. (Please note, these take the approach of performance or costume - there are also some wonderful stories about being trans in various ways that I did not include.)

What if Greg and Mycroft were both performing drag queens, when they could get away? (And I could so see Mycroft in that outfit for that number!) "Don't Stop Me Now" by Snuggle_Puff (15K, E) https://archiveofourown.org/works/22496299

Perhaps Mycroft likes seeing Greg perform in drag (to Kirsty MacColl, excellent choice!), particularly when Greg comes to his rescue "The 12 Trope-y Days of Christmas" (ch 12) by 221b_hound https://archiveofourown.org/works/17044100/chapters/42354215

Perhaps Mycroft bids on Greg at a drag auction "Look at What the Met Dragged In" by AtlinMerrick (2K, M) (I love the line: "When presented—in less than one second—with the evidence that he was attracted to someone so hard he couldn't speak, [Mycroft] accepted the obvious") https://archiveofourown.org/works/789469

Perhaps Mycroft enlists Greg to go undercover with him at a Tarts and Vicars party, with Mycroft as the tart "The New Normal" by bookjunkiecat (4K, M)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/13306239

Perhaps Greg likes the idea of Mycroft in a dress, on stage, and asks for a re-creation "The Perks of Wearing a Dress" by Irollforinitiative (3K, E) https://archiveofourown.org/works/544386

Perhaps Greg likes the idea of Mycroft playing Lady Bracknell, and perhaps that helps him break through Mycroft's reserve after the Final Problem "ACT I: Lady Bracknell" by KesaKo (8K, G) https://archiveofourown.org/works/9503618

And one that is wonderful to read, although Mycroft in drag as Cintia is mentioned only briefly in passing, but also inspired me to make this list "The Riots" by CarmillaCarmine (1K, G), in which John and Sherlock live in NY at the time of the Stonewall riot https://archiveofourown.org/collections/PRIDELOCKED_2021/works/32236918

Within the course of one week both Sherlock and John's lives are forever changed.

Thank you, 2017

It’s time for us to say goodbye to the Homeless Network for now. We’ve enjoyed our time together so very much. We’ve made new friends and got to see old ones. All of you make the time and work such a joy.

New Location in 2018

If you haven’t heard we’re at a new hotel next year! But don’t worry! We’ve still got your backs. We’ve got recon plans to check out the hotel and the surrounding area. Let us know all of your questions and concerns so we can address them before April.

We’d like to thank those who made our lives easier this year.

To all of the volunteers who helped out in the suite (and throughout the con). I wish we had gotten all of your names this year. Without you we literally could not do this.

@lostandhufflepuff and @allthethingsjensays who put the Guidebook together again this year! Without you no one would know where to go or when!

@itemfinder for channeling the Snapchat all to one place once again.

@dragonsbain for donating water and snacks to the cause.

@jennally for donating her wonderful marshmallows and @dkwilliams for the eyeballs and mustaches at our tea party.

Thank you @irollforinitiative, @loriarty, @dailydoseofnerdiness, and @favabean05 for organizing and hosting the tea party! We still don’t know how you got a hold of so much donated tea!

@consultingcrafts for making con drop care kits this year and donating some to us and the suite.

@thedepthsofmyshame For the paper crafted skulls, slippers, and orchids. We were honored to display them. Here’s to hoping we have another craft room next year!

And last, but never least!

Thank you to @threepatchpodcast for planning and providing for our joint event Bachelor Pad Casserole. It was a huge hit!

The biggest thank you to @221bcon​ for creating this amazing gathering that allowed us to make some of the best friends we’ve ever had. We love you more than we can say.

We’ll be around for a bit longer reblogging all the post-con love, but we wanted to go ahead and get this out there.
