Rooster: Do you think there's someone out there you could love as much as Ice? Maverick: Well, Bradley, that's hard to imagine. Rooster: What're you gonna do? Maverick: Well, I'm gonna get out of bed every morning... breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out... and, then after a while, I won't have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while. Rooster: What was special to you about Ice? Maverick: Oh, kid...how much time you got? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched him. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was giving him a hug on the tarmac, with a hundred people around, and I knew. It was like...magic.

Back to nighttime ventures with Smallest Dog. She headed off to the Big Shed to do her thing ... and I?
I got no more than about ten paces from the back door before I spotted the slug related wheelie bin top assignation.
Ah the romance of it all.
I'll meet you at the top of the green wheelie bin ... make sure you head up the side where the handle is. Catch your breath, and then just slither about 8 inches due south west across the old abandoned duvet cover plain. I'll be waiting at the small twig cafe.
Not quite Sleepless in Seattle and the Empire State Building, and it's hard to tell who's playing Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, but still ... romantic as heck.
Do you suppose they exchanged numbers? ...

through the valley, part i
ellie williams x reader
through the valley masterlist
summary: what if Joel didn’t lie? what if there was more people immune? more people like ellie? more people like you?
word count: 7.4k
warnings: this fic doesn’t follow the original plot from tlou part II. canon typical violence.
The weather was nice in Seattle. If it wasn’t for the feeling of revenge that ran through her veins, Ellie might have even liked the visit. But it was hard perceiving anything that weren’t clues to find them.
Even after weeks, all Ellie could see when she closed her eyes was Joel lifeless body dumped on the floor of a basement. She remembered everything. Remembered every face that was there when it happened. Remembered the face of the one who did it. How she didn’t seem satisfied afterwards, but either did she seem to have any regrets. Ellie couldn’t wait to crash her skull.
What she didn't expect was ran into a weird cult from nearby Seattle to make things more complicated for her. She tried to not get too close to this seemingly fight between the wolves and these scars. She didn't care of their conflicts and fights. Ellie only desired and craved to finish this hurt inside her chest, killing Abby and returning home, back to Tommy and Maria. Back to Jesse and Dina. Back to Joel.
When she woke up the third day of being in Seattle, everything changed. She followed the marks on her map, ending near the Old Town, where she thought one of the men from the WLF was hiding. Although, when she tried to get inside, she found out it that it had to be something bigger than that. The building was deeply secured, guards were present at every door, and before she could turn away, something triggered inside her chest. Did Owen ask for a backup? Was the other woman there with him? Was Abby there with him? She had to make sure of it. Of whom was hiding inside those walls. So she grabbed her bow, and chose to discover it by herself.
You have always loved the moon. How calm everything was at night. All the sleepless hours you spent listening the wind blow and watching how bright the moon was, somehow helped you to mourn your mother's death.
You missed your mother. You missed her singing, her calloused fingers caressing your hair. But she was gone. Those fuckers murdered her. And she wasn't coming back. It's not like you could do much, either. Being the leader's daughter only made you be kept away, not letting you out of the island on any circumstances. Your mother didn't like you to go out alone, anyway. She always said, the lord gave you a gift, and you shall accept it as it is.
Being always kept away and guarded had some benefits as well. Through the years, you developed some strategies to gain some time alone. Like passing through the guards and ending up in the roof, watching the stars at night. You were pretty good at being sneaky.
So that night, as always, you climbed up to the roof, and hanged around for a couple of hours. The wind danced around you. You saw some people from the community guarding around the zone, the same people as always. You looked at the north gate, August laughing at something Constance probably said. Around the high walls that guarded the Haven Max, Moira and Peter watched for any possible threat. Zachary and Karen were changing positions with Duncan and Celia at the south gate. The east gate was guarded by Ricky and Emmett, who were calmly chatting. When your gaze laid on the west gate, you gasped, brows knitting together with worry. Henry was on the ground. Where was Eva? You needed to alert the others. Someone entered inside the gates.
Ellie didn't expect the break into the settlement to be so hard. She got inside the gate, but injured. And people were coming from everywhere. When she was hiding from two men, she heard them scream for backup at the top floor. Was there where Abby was? They had to be hiding something. Something bigger than she thought.
After fighting with god knows how many of those soldiers, she noticed how they were quite different from the ones she fought before. Those didn't have jackets from the Washington Liberation Front, but all of them shared certain characteristics, same clothes, same hairstyle... But what creeped Ellie the hell out was the scars they all had marked on their faces. She then slowly started to realize how wrong she had been to enter those gates. This had nothing to do with Abby. This was way worse. With all the strength left in her body, Ellie tried to run away from the soldiers that were coming for her.
Despite the bleeding in her abdomen, she succeeded to kill all of them. The night sounded quiet again, only the noise of the rain could be heard. She took advantage to rest for a while, trying to stop the blood with some cloth and alcohol. When the sun came up again, Ellie was ready to leave that fucked up place before more soldiers came. She grabbed her backpack and her bow, and started her way back to Abby. However, a loud grunt left her mouth when a bat hit her head. After all, you were pretty good at being sneaky.
The next time Ellie opened her eyes, her two arms were chained up to a wall. She was inside a cell. There were no windows, so she couldn't think how much time may have passed. She doesn't even remember how she ended up there. Her head was still hurting, and the lack of water and food made her only weaker.
It wasn't until hours later that a figure appeared in front of her. A young girl, marked with the same scars, wearing the same clothes as all of those soldiers that now were dead because of her. The girl knelt in front of her, eyes empty, and no emotion seemed to came to the surface. Ellie only looked at her, no words coming from her throat. The girl, as a response, spitted on the redhead's cheek. Still, neither of them said a word. Ellie didn't seem mad either. She felt misplaced, confused and dazed, sure. But she didn't felt angry. That only appeared to make the other girl more irritated.
You didn't know what to do. All of your friends were dead in front of you, Max, Ricky, Moira, August... All of them. When you find the guilty person who did it, you didn't believe it at first. A girl around your age, alone? Only with a bow and a gun, she had taken away the lives of countless trained soldiers?
You were alone at the building now. Only her asleep body retained inside the other room, making you some kind of company. You were sure more people from the community were coming, but you weren't sure when. You searched the whole building looking for more people that may have come with her, but she seemed to come to the island alone, and didn't seem like a threat. No WLF signs anywhere. Just a map of Seattle, some stupid trading cards, a comic and two more guns was all this girl had inside her backpack. No food nor water. If this girl did come alone - which you sincerely doubted - she had to be here for you. She knew who you were, what you were.
But when she woke up and looked up to you, she seemed unconcerned, almost indifferent. If she didn't know who you were, why was she here? Her calm gaze only made you angrier. You spitted on her face, and she still didn't seem to mind the situation she was in. You didn't want to speak to her, she didn't deserve to live, anyway. She murdered all the corpses that still rested around the area. Still, you needed answers. You needed to know why she'd done it. Why was she here. Who she was. So you asked, only to be answered with silence.
"Fine by me" You murmured, standing up and closing the cell once again, and leaving her in the dark. Patience wasn't one of your virtues. Defiance was. And if this girl wanted to challenge you, she was welcome to do it.
so excited for this fic!! please comment your thoughts!!

Heya!
I've read a LOT of GO fics in my time, but I can't remember if I've seen crossovers/AUs of the following movies with Aziraphale/Crowley, can you help please?
So my favourite rom coms of all time are the following, and I'd love GO versions (if they don't exist I may have to write them)!
French Kiss (Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline)
You've Got Mail (Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks)
When Harry Met Sally (Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal)
Runaway Bride (Julia Roberts and Richard Gere)
Never Been Kissed (Drew Barrymore)
I won't bother asking about Pretty Woman because I've read so many versions with either of them in either role lmaooo (and I have loved Every. Single. One.)
Or basically any late 80s/early 90s rom coms with Meg Ryan (except Sleepless in Seattle because I find it incredibly boring) or Julia Roberts!
Thank you so much for everything you do! You've helped me discover so many amazing fics and writers and it is much appreciated!!! 💖💖��😎
Hello there!
Did you know there is a whole collection from the Good Omens Rom-Com Event that was run a couple years ago? You might find what you're looking for there! (Some of the fics are unfinished so keep that in mind)
We have previously recommended a bunch of You've Got Mail/She Loves Me fics HERE, so check those out.
As for the other ones you've asked about:
French Kiss AU:
A Bit of Crumpet by Fyre [E]
With a handsome, successful fiance and a respectable home in Manhattan, Aziraphale Fell thought his life was more than adequate. He never expected to be jilted in a long-distance telephone call and so he sets out for England to find out exactly what's going on and gets a lot more than he bargained for.
When Harry Met Sally AU:
it had to be you by curtaincall [M]
“What I’m saying,” said Aziraphale, looking fixedly ahead, “and please don’t take this as a personal insult in any way, is that an angel and a demon can’t be friends.”
“Why not?”
“Because,” said Aziraphale, firmly. “It’s against the order of things. You’re supposed to tempt. I’m supposed to thwart. We can’t go being friends.”
*
A canon-divergent AU inspired by When Harry Met Sally.
I don't know of any fics with your two last wishes but there is also:
Notting Hill AU:
Soho by Lurlur [E]
Aziraphale lives a quiet kind of life, running a quiet specialist bookshop in one of the liveliest districts of London. He's content with his lot, happy with his friends, tolerant of his probably-human housemate, living vicariously through the gossip pages.
One day, a chance encounter with Anthony Crowley, lead singer of wildly successful rock band The Demons, threatens to turn his whole world upside down.
Music and Lyrics AU:
pop! goes my heart by attheborder [E], WIP
When has-been musician Anthony Crowley is recruited by pop singer Anathema Device to write a song for her new record, he jumps on the chance to resuscitate his career with a hit. There's only one problem: he can't write lyrics to save his life.
But a chance meeting with a stranger by the name of Aziraphale, with a poetic streak that's a perfect fit for the song, changes everything for Crowley. Together, they'll create something beautiful, fight the forces of the music industry, and perhaps even find a way back into love...
A Music and Lyrics AU for the GO Rom Com Event, complete with all-new original songs written and recorded by the author!
Kate & Leopold AU:
Until by Nadzieja [T]
“I don’t want to go home.” Half-asleep Aziraphale murmurs into his ear and Crowley's heart clenches. His grip tightens reflexively around the warm soft body in his arms, around the smell of old books and sandalwood.
“Then don’t.” He’s trying not to sound like he's pleading, but his throat is tight and his voice hoarse.
*
Crowley lives his average life, working in a high-end advertising company at London that pays just enough to get him a room in a shared accommodation. That's just his luck that he ends up living with a literal witch. One day she brings home an even more eccentric man that has a taste for 19th century fashion, as if Crowley didn't have enough things to worry about. Little he knows that the man will turn his world upside down. Literally. And that's just the beginning of his problems.

hi there! I want to start off on congratulating you for the success on P4. needless to say that it was very well received by the levi community.
that being said, I have some thoughts I wanted to ask about. was the ending to P4 the ending you originally had in mind or did it flow to you while you were writing the series (hopefully that makes sense lol)?
I speak for many of us when I say that I’d love to see a sequel. there are so many questions left unanswered. does the chemistry between reader and levi translate irl? does reader tell annie about levi and how does she react? does levi meet porco? ugh so many thoughts, so many possibilities
whether or not you decide on writing a sequel, I want to say that this my favorite levi series by far. I’ve never stopped thinking about this fic since I read the first part 🫶
Helloooo! Thank you so much for the thoughtful message, this means a lot. 🌸 The ending of P4 that you read is, in fact, the ending I wrote in my outline prior to posting part one.
For me, I struggle with finales. It took nearly nine months for me to even remotely entertain an ending for my longfic, SU. My goal with P4 (I actually wrote the idea a year go? i think?) was to have a definitive amount of chapters so I wouldn't just go onnn and onnn and onnn with a story. There are a lot of unanswered questions, and I know several people have already said they're upset Levi/Scarlet didn't actually hook up, but I think tackling the idea of navigating something parasocial to something real deserves a multitude of chapters in and of itself. It's a nuance I didn't want to sacrifice for the mysticism of this Sleepless in Seattle-esque story, so I chose to end it there as intended and stay true to my outline.
I'll be candid: I did not anticipate the response this story got. I literally wrote this story for @sixpennydame and @nube55 after the two of them were so encouraging and excited about the idea.
I don't mind sharing my bulletpoints, actually, if you'd interested in them under the cut - it's the same ending, but I changed a lot around re: order and how we got to the final dialogue.
(A lot changes between two months + actually sitting down to write a story and that's why i love writing as i update, because i can get influenced on the dime to change a dynamic/dialogue choice/etc. If this helps anyone see how I initially outline, then I'm happy to do so!)
i also talk to myself in the outlines, so. witness my insanity lmao.

7 Comfort Movies
Thanks for the tag, @dreamingofmickeywaffles @reyestrandd and @lemonlyman-dotcom 🥰🥰🥰
1. Clue- there isn’t a second of this movie that is wasted, every single part of it is wonderful- the costumes, the dialogue, the over the top spectacle of it all- every single person in this (it also has the perfect amount of characters, I don’t know why this is a thing for me but it is) but all of them bite into the scenery and do not let go for 97 minutes and it is SENSATIONAL. I wish I could go back to 1985 and tell the people who said it sucked what they’re missing (and tell them about the multiple endings I can imagine how confusing that was in a pre social media world).
2. The Producers (the 2005 version) it’s impossible for me to watch this movie and be in a bad mood. Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane play off each other so well and I relate to Leo Bloom on a spiritual level (the line “you’ve mistaken me for someone with a spine” - MOOD). I haven’t seen the original so it may be rehashing but this just makes me happy.
3. Emperors New Groove- Aka the most underrated Disney movie in existence- Lordy do I love this movie. Every single of line is this is so goddamn funny even from the characters that aren’t necessarily supposed to be (I love Pacha’s wife- “UGH! I gotta go wash something”). And the fact that they wanted to do a villain as a young person backstory and picked Cruella over Yzma- a TRAVESTY. GIVE ME MY YZMA CENTERED PREQUEL DISNEY- I MEAN IT! (Sorry for all the shouting. Probably shouldn’t have filled this out after back to back shifts lol).
4. Sleepless in Seattle- this movie is just like a warm hug to me. Not even that it’s romantic- like it is but it’s so much more than that- it has just the right amount of characters and it does a good job of being a movie where they tell you don’t base your life around a movie but still being one of those movies and Rosie O’Donnell’s character is friend goals and Tom Hanks- he really is that charming- it’s one of those movies where I just think about it for weeks after I watch it (particularly the part at the end where he finally gets to Jonah and tearfully tells him “you’re my family. You’re all I’ve got”. Also the father-son stuff is top notch.
5. The Goonies- I’m still not over that Ke Huy Quan mentioned Jeff Cohen in his Oscar speech- but they are just the cutest group of kids and Brand is the cutest older brother in the you are so annoying but also you’re not gonna get hurt on my watch way and Chunk is adorable and I love all these goobers so much
6. Mary Poppins- this movie is just so wonderful. It’s beautifully shot and the songs and in between dialogue is amazing and I’m always embarrassed to tell people how much I love this movie cause I’m much too old and might cry about how much it means to me.
7. Muppet Treasure Island- MARGARITAS AT THE MIDNIGHT BUFFET!! This movie is really funny and also really sweet at the same time? Like I think about the there’s got to be something better song once a week but then there’s Gonzo whispering “I believe they prefer visually challenged fiend” and Jennifer Saunders as the innkeeper who can always hear them- “I’ll be fine boys- run for it!” “How does she do that?!” And Tim Curry- Tim Curry is having so much fun in this movie (“Satan is heating his pokers for you, you… blasphemous heathens!”) If I had two hours left to live I would put this movie on.
No pressure tags - @elevatehearts @hydesjackiespuddinpop @manicpixiedreamb0y @poppy-in-the-woods @baubeautyandthegeek @ellena-asg @draculakells @paperstorm

Love Affair (1939)
A French playboy artist (Charles Boyer) and an American night club singer (Irene Dunne) fall in love onboard a ship bound for New York and make plans to meet later at the top of the Empire State building. An accident leads to one of them failing to make the appointment...
I'm slightly surprised that I'd somehow never gotten around to seeing this one before today, as I love Irene Dunne and Boyer has been good in just about everything I've seen him in too.
The film was remade going on 20 years later with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as An Affair To Remember, which seems to have made a far greater impact on the world and directly inspired the film Sleepless in Seattle, but I would say this original is told with considerably more skill and authentic emotion.
The acting, particularly at the lengthy climax to the film, is so subtle and wispily delicate, with Boyer making devastating moments out of the smallest movements: his inability to find a place to sit on the couch; the sadness and obvious hurt undercutting his polite gentlemanlike demeanor; the slight hoarseness in his voice at the door, preparing to leave, saying just the word "..well..."
To tell the truth, up until this point I would have rated the whole film lower and considered it a very pleasant and charming romantic comedy only a little better than average, but these Lubitsch-like touches in the final act help it to reach something more lasting and magical and capable of bringing a tear to even my eye.
★★★★★★★★☆☆

i don't know why the complaint about fics with the use of bucky after all it's around when chris is young and most fics have him around 7 or the age when they first met each other it's honestly just a nick name
I personally just think it’s weird because I’ve seen it used in fic where Chris is as old as he is now, like codas from season 6 or even older in things where it flashes forward.
It’s not a thing at all from the show, and like I know that fic can be super imaginative and you can do whatever you want, but having a 12 year old kid call someone “Bucky” when he never did in the show even as a small child is just weird to me.
I’ve read on here that it also slightly hits the infantilism of people with disabilities, I’m not the right person to talk about that, but people who are have mentioned it and I’ll agree with them.
I think the only time I’ve been okay with seeing “Bucky” said is when it actually is a meaningful part of the story. I read a Sleepless in Seattle/Affair to Remember fic (can’t remember the name or author rn sorry), where both Chris and Eddie call him Bucky because they don’t know his name or who he is. Could the author have used Evan? Sure. But the Bucky name there didn’t irk me because it stood more of a purpose than just a random nickname from Chris.
Tldr: If it were canon originally I don’t think I’d mind as much, as long as it was when he was younger or if they still had him saying it onscreen now. But because it’s not canon, plus Chris is older, it just makes him feel too young and it takes me out of it, personally.

What We Know About Netflix's Eric Starring Benedict Cumberbatch
"Benedict Cumberbatch is a man of many roles: he has played the world's greatest fictional detective, a superhero, a fire-breathing dragon ... and now he's set to play a puppeteer.
The actor will headline Netflix's next, a thriller series penned by "The Iron Lady" and "Suffragette" writer Abi Morgan, from "Chernobyl" producer "Sister" and a stellar cast has been roped in. The six-part limited series follows Cumberbatch as Vincent Anderson, a famous puppeteer who struggles to come to terms with his son having gone missing.
What we know about the story of Eric
"Eric" is set in 1980s-era New York and follows the "desperate search of a father when his nine-year-old son disappears one morning on the way to school." Cumberbatch plays Vincent, one of Manhattan's most popular puppeteers, with a children's television show of his own. His character struggles to cope with the loss of his son Edgar, and in an attempt to bring him back home, he clings to his son's drawings of a blue monster puppet that he believed lived under his bed.
Terrorized by the guilt surrounding his son's disappearance, Vincent engages in progressively volatile behavior, and his destructive attitude isolates him from his family and colleagues. He convinces himself that if he can bring Eric the puppet on television, his young son might return home. The synopsis further describes Eric as "a delusion of necessity, who becomes Vincent's only ally in the pursuit to bring his son home."
The series already feels eerie and one-of-a-kind — just the kind of project we'd expect Cumberbatch to get his hands on. Writer Abi Morgan described the show as "a dark and crazy journey into the heart of 1980's New York, and the good, bad and ugly world of Vincent." "Eric" is expected to be a tense thriller and an "intimate portrait of a delusional father" who will go to any lengths to look for his child.
Benedict Cumberbatch headlines the show as the "charismatic yet narcissistic" Vincent Anderson, who neglects his wife Cassie and their son Edgar. Vincent is shaping up to be quite a gray character, and it'll be interesting to see how the "Sherlock" star will tackle the role. Gaby Hoffmann ("Field of Dreams," "Sleepless in Seattle") plays the actor's on-screen wife, Cassie, who struggles with her husband's "womanizing and volatile" behavior. Young actor Ivan Morris Howe plays their nine-year-old son Edgar, who is described as "artistic yet deeply withdrawn from the world."
Other cast members include McKinley Belcher III ("Mercy Street," "Ozark,") who portrays leading detective Michael Ledroit, and Dan Fogler plays Lennie Wilson, Vincent's best friend, colleague, and fellow puppeteer. George Lovette plays Clarke Peters, Phoebe Nicholls ("The Elephant Man") stars as Anne Anderson, and David Denman ("The Office") plays Matteo Cripp. Wade Allain-Marcus ("Insecure," "Snowfall") plays club owner Ali Gator. Also joining the cast are Bamar Kane, who stars as Yuusuf Egbe, Adepero Odyue, who will play Cecile Rochelle, Alexis Molnar, as Raya, and Roberta Colindrez will play Ronnie.
There's no news about the show's trailer or release date yet, but you can watch this space for more information in the future!"
They're trying to do it, again! After screwing up his Oscar campaign, working with piece of shit, Sophie Hunter and Birkin, Netflix actually thinks this sounds original. He's already played a dad who loses a child. He's already played 'Charismatic yet Narcissistic '. He's already played men with serious drug problems who suffer delusions. So how in hell is this series, Eric, IN ANY WAY ORIGINAL?! They'll do the exact same thing they did with his last projects. Praise everyone else in the film, make sure their people get all the awards, and block Benedict Cumberbatch from getting any. Netflix can go to hell. I guess I should start warning Benedict's fans to expect more bullshit from this project, that every project he's forced to do with Netflix is tainted. Vincent, huh? Just so they can cross promo Eric with Stephen Vincent Strange. They did the same thing with Olsen's Wanda character by putting a similarly dressed and behaving character on Stranger Things.

Cinéma en fête, le penchant adulte de Ciné-cadeau sur Télé-Québec est un ensemble de films de Noël ou non, mais des films doudounes, réconfortants comme une vieille grosse couverture. Des films souvent en reprise chaque année pour le plaisir de se faire plaisir (1) avec du bon cinéma.
Cette année, j'ai plongé et me suis adonné à des moments libres à regarder des films comme : La trilogie du Seigneur des anneaux, Miroir miroir, Big, Le sourire de Mona Lisa et Le dîner de cons, entre autres... Cinéma en fête de Télé-Québec, à partir de 20h chaque soir jusqu'aux petites heures du matin... il en reste encore jusqu'au 5 janvier.
J'aime beaucoup Télé-Québec; c'est une chaîne éducative, créative, jeune et dynamique avec beaucoup de contenu original pour pas mal tout le monde. Durant les fêtes, c'est une tradition de présenter souvent les mêmes films, années après années, et à mon plus grand regret, ils n'ont pas présenté Ghost (Mon fantôme d'amour) cette année, mais j'ai adoré revoir Miroir miroir car je trouve Julia Roberts jouant avec comédie cette vaine vilaine Reine du conte de Blanche-Neige vraiment super bonne dans ce film. J'ai aussi regardé Le sourire de Mona Lisa qui offre une autre belle prestation de Julia Roberts.
Donc, beaucoup de films avec Julia Roberts et aussi Tom Hanks avec Big et La magie du destin (Sleepless in Seattle), c'est du bonbon et j'achète totalement.
(1) Comme aussi le plaisir coupable de regarder Ciné-cadeau et revoir La guerre des tuques, La flûte à six Schtroumpfs et Astérix et Cléopâtre quel que soit l'âge.
