STAR TIGER

On January 30, 1948, the Tudor aircraft Star Tiger and its twenty-nine passengers suddenly went missing in midflight. It was the first of three unexplained disappearances within a year that gave the Bermuda Triangle its notorious reputation.

Shortly before their estimated arrival in Bermuda, Robert Tuck, the experienced radio operator on the Star Tiger, relayed information about the planes position to the highly qualified Captain B. W. McMillian. They were right on course and would arrive on schedule. Their arrival time came and went. The Star Tiger was never heard from again. An intensive search revealed no sign of the craft; no debris, oil slicks, wreckage, or passengers were ever found, in spite of searches in the craft's last known location.

In order to avoid the typically strong headwinds, Star Tiger had been traveling at around 2,000 feet when it vanished. No structural failure would have caused any problems at that altitude because there would have been no cabin-pressure loss. It was concluded that the Star Tiger could not have fallen into the sea due to being deprived of its radio, direction, or fuel. Prevailing winds would have brought the Star Tiger within thirty miles of Bermuda even if two of her four engines had failed, and it was highly improbable that the plane lost three engines. The weather was stable and the visibility clear, and there were no electrical storms. The investigative report closed by stating that no more baffling problem had ever been presented for investigation.

Prompt 284

“Oh little storm,” the being cooed, hands that are both large enough to crush the world yet small enough to hold his face gently running through his hair. He was being held by lightning, by stars and space and everything in between, cradling his form like he was something oh-so precious. “A surprise to be sure,” the being crooned, purred, rumbled, cracked, some noise of the depths of space mixed with something indescribable. “A surprise, but a welcome one.” 

Billy had never felt so small, yet so loved, like the world itself was holding him against its heart as the whispers of the gods bled away in something akin to awe. The being smiled, distant storms letting loose and ending droughts, even more distant stars bursting into being. “A little marvel of existence,” they hummed, hissed, cooed, whistled, hair- or strands of galaxies- melding into the abyss around them. 

“A surprise son. A child of the Cosmos. Yes.” He was held so gently, space itself dancing and flickering around him, suns pressing hundreds of freckled kisses against his head. “Welcome home, little storm. Welcome home, my son.”

Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (05/13/2024)

Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms.  Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.

*this week’s data likely has some errors due to code changes - they should resolve themselves next week*

Overall:

Over 1,000 Fics:

Over 5,000 Fics:

Over 10,000 Fics:

I damn you star wars, how is it that we don't have a image, or at least a physical description of vine tigers.

This is something very important, this is is because of ...important scientific reasons -coughs-
