Shirecorn's Ponyverse Masterpost

So for the last 2 months I've fixated on doing redesigns based somewhat loosely on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I've had so much fun filling in the gaps and extrapolating until my version is less of a redesign and more of an AU.

"Ponies" are three species of sentient hoofed creatures that populate Equestria. They worship giant goddesses that fill the sky and ferry the moon and sun across the world.

All Time Favs

I began reading fanfic in my teens during the original run of the show. There were lonnng breaks from it, but coming back to the fandom in 2017 reignited my interest. I now keep a spreadsheet as well as a "to read" list. I already have almost 600 logged (not including 5 years), so I wanted to share my top favorites. Divided into my 4 favorite genres (AU, casefic, angst + romance, and smut + romance) and in no particular order...

*Alternate Universe*

I used to wonder why someone would choose to read AU. Then I read one of these and was completely blown away.

Katherine of Ireland by Jenna Tooms (gossamer)

Katherine, princess of Ireland is married to Walter, king of Angora. When Walter is killed during battle, Katherine is taken by the enemy, FitzJames. William is FitzJames right hand. When FitzJames orders her to be beaten (even after discovering her pregnancy) William devises a plan to save her, heal her and get her back to Ireland. Will William always be seen as the enemy or will Katherine come to see him for who he truly is?

By the dim and flaring lamps by @sunflowerseedsandscience (ao3)

Civil war AU’s are my jam and this was one of the first ones I read.  When Mulder discovers (disguised boy) Scully bathing in a waterfall by darkness and realizes what he is dealing with will remain etched in my brain forever.

In darkness by DKSculder (ao3)

What if Scully was married to Daniel?  What if Daniel was a serial killer?  What if Mulder was a VCU agent still?   This is an unfinished work, but the idea is unlike any other I’ve come across.

Blinded by the white light by DashaK (ao3)

Need I say more?  When Mulder and Scully find each other after colonization, will they remember each other and will they act on it?

The second side of light by @scapegrace74-blog (ao3)

Oregon Trail.  Mulder is leading scully and Melissa across the trail when Melissa dies.  They end up getting very close to one another on the journey.

Paracelsus by profuckslove (ao3)

Another amazing civil war AU.  When Mulder goes looking for his lost son and comes across a pregnant scully what will happen to them?

This is an unfinished work.  College AU.  Mulder has a crush on the library girl, will she return his advances?

A companion unobtrusive by @slippinmickeys (ao3)

A college AU where scully is looking for a roommate and Mulder is looking for a room.  Melissa introduces them and the rest is history.

The countess/the earl by @slippinmickeys (ao3)

When scully is to be married to an old duke in order to save her family from financial ruin, a strange, alluring earl steps in to save her.

*Case*

There is nothing quite like a casefic. It's classic x-files and I am here for it. Writers in this fandom are so talented with their abilities to create a fic that rivals/trumps actual episodes.

Perchitor by @aloysiavirgata (ao3)

A little girl goes missing in the mountains with the superstition of Jenny Greenteeth to blame.  Mulder and Scully investigate while navigating a new physical relationship.

Omens by @lepus-arcticus (ao3)

I read this one as a WIP and was anxiously checking for an update every night.  There were several lines in this fic that made me gasp.  Cancer arc angst. Give me it alllll.

XII by fragilevixen (ao3)

A killer that romanticizes every victim.  His next target?  Guess who.  *coughSCULLYcough*

Hearts desire by malibusunset (ao3)

While in a small town scully runs into an old BF and starts wondering why she doesn’t prioritize her dating.  She decides to go for it.  The author makes me like Scully’s old flame.  That says something.  When the MSR convo finally does come, I thought I’d die from the slow burn.

Under Kersh, Mulder and Scully are assigned to a VCU case Mulder worked in Utah in 89’.  The killer was put to death and then revenge began.  Local mines and children involved.

*angst + romance*

This is my crux. Angst in any way, shape, or form. Add in some slow burn/ust and finally the rst *chefs kiss* particularly fond of Ethan fics and cancer arc.

Contact high by penumbra (gossamer)

Still feeling the residual effects of the spores post field trip, our agents try out Mulder’s new waterbed.

Early on by @sunflowerseedsandscience (ao3)

One blue line by sarie_fairy (ao3)

IVF arc.  Scully is defeated by a negative pregnancy test.  When Mulder tries to comfort her, she suggests having sex.  I just remember wondering if I was reading or actually doing the act myself considering how detailed it was.

Salt by anjou (gossamer)

I remember reading this and being like WTF is happening to only have it all make sense at the end leaving me speechless.

Triptych by @iconicscullyoutfits (ao3)

My favorite FTF, post bee, how the f*ck did they get out of anarctica fic.

Snowbound by malibusunset (gossamer)

After missing their flight and being snowed in their rental on the side of the road, discussions lead to their relationship.  Once they’re recused they are put up in an inn with 1 room.  Dun, dun, dunnnn.

Mulder’s POV looking over Scully’s transformation from girl to woman and how all of his senses perceive her.

Caught in the Act I by parrotfish (gossamer)

Although the whole series is amazing, the first part is my favorite.  I love when scully lays into the review panel about being sexist.

The things she carries by @edierone (ao3)

One of my favorite cancer arc fics.  When Mulder confronts Scully 3 years later on the porch I literally stopped breathing.

Set throughout season 5.  My favorite season. Say no more.

Five years and one night by Shalimar (gossamer)

When Scully transfers to LA and Mulder finds more babies like Emily, can they work together again to get to the bottom of this conspiracy?

The letter by Shalimar (gossamer)

Post TFWID, scully goes searching for more clues to her and Mulder’s past lives when she comes across a letter in a local Apison museum she sent to Mulder.

*smut + romance*

It's hard to have just smut when it comes to MSR, am I right? these two idiots are so in love that my smut category must also be romantic.

Undercover swing by 2momsmakearight (ao3)

What if Mulder and Scully go undercover as a married couple interested in swinging?  Can they both keep their jealously in check?  

Be kind, rewind by OnlyTheInevitable (ao3)

To help catch a suspect, skinner requests our agents watch porn together.  While watching, conversation leads to critiques about the performance and comments about personal preferences.

[aziraphales-library]

Hii im looking for fic that looks at Crowley/aziraphale from an outside perspective for example the other whickber street traders being confused about where Aziraphale has gone and asking Crowley or other civilians noticing aziraphale and Crowley in general. Not looking for a particular fanfiction.

I do love a good #outsider POV fic...

Eavesdropping by IneffableDoll (G)

A patron of the pub overhears a bewildering conversation between a grey suit (Gabriel) and a beige suit (Aziraphale) in which their adoring descriptions of their respective goth partners are extremely…concerning.

The Mystery of the Missing Mr. Fell by treatsnsweets (G)

"Aren't you investigating? Keep the rant about the confusing relationship with Sunglasses in a separate thing." Phyllis spoke out loud, reading the notebook. "Hey! I'm not done with that yet. It's still my first draft and I needed more evidence." Trixie huffed as they grabbed her notebook back. Or Two teens decided to investigate why "Mr. Fell" has disappeared after the events of season 2.

Sanctuary by Scheissemann (M)

Days were hard for the shopkeepers on Whickber Street, Crowley was drinking, and Mrs. Sandwich just wanted to have a cigarette undisturbed.

What You've Lost But Never Had by BlackUnicorn (NR)

Mr. Fell, for that was all everyone knew to call him, was a peculiar man. He owned the bookshop next to Frank's record shop – A. Z. Fell & Co. it was called – and it had been there for as long as anyone could remember. Why, if Frank's mother, may she rest in peace, was to be believed, the Mr. Fell who had been around when she'd opened her own establishment was the very same that was still around now, over 70 years ago. That couldn't possibly be true, of course, and yet sometimes Frank wondered. He remembered Mr. Fell, of course, from his own childhood, his own youth, the kind man living next door, a little reclusive, perhaps, but always willing to offer a cup of tea and some nice biscuits to anyone in need of a cheer-up. 

A Table For One by WaitingToBeBroken (T)

There is a couple that has been coming to Justine's restaurant every third Wednesday of the month for more than a decade. Now, they are suddenly gone. Justine decides to ask around the neighbourhood about them. Everyone has a different theory.

amaranthus cruentus by jilliancares (G)

“It’s not my plant.” “Okay,” says Nina. “I mean, it wasn’t my plant. It was given to me. I didn’t pick it out.” “Right.” “I don’t even like flowers,” Crowley continues. “I like leafy plants. Leafy plants make sense.”

Or: Crowley and Aziraphale navigating their break-up, through the eyes of everyone else. Or: 5 times Crowley and Aziraphale deal with their heartbreak, plus 1 time they actually do something about it.

All of This is Completely Normal Here by TogetherAgain (G)

The events of an entirely ordinary day for one particular police station in London towards the beginning of summer in 2019. ~ ~ ~ Lonnie Clarke was talking to a lunatic. To be fair, that wasn’t really unusual. It was a standard part of police work. This particular lunatic was a special sort of insane, though. Crazy like a fox, this Mr. Fell. Or, just absurdly lucky. Clarke was just finishing up with him — confirming his contact information, thanking him for his time, and so on — when an entirely different and more familiar lunatic came swaggering in with their hands cuffed in front of them. “OI! Who sent a rookie to pick me up all by herself? That’s hazing, ‘s what that is. Thought you lot were above all that.” Ladies and gentlemen, A.J. Crowley was in the building.

the best of the world in the palm of our hands by middyblue (T)

Crowley seems to be going through a bad breakup and Maggie just wants to help. Apparently, the world is also ending.

Imagining the Shane Gang + Junjie playing Lethal Company

Pronto's definitely the "Man in the Chair" (Ship Rat) - Navigating the crew and accidentally locking them out when he hears a sus noise outside

Eli is the defender - Always has a shovel or sign, if no other equipment is available. Has died about 8 times to snare fleas because he can't find his items afterwards and the others panic and run every time

Trixie & Kord are the loot runners/most paranoid - They always have flashlights, and at least one of them has a radio at all times so they can have Pronto (poorly) navigate. Often get chased by hoarding bugs because they find the nest and steal the items which makes the bugs very upset

Junjie the chill - Junjie is the guy who thinks the others are exaggerating about how scary the game is because he has literally never encountered the monsters. He's in and out easily, always the most profitable. The others spend days laughing after he's FINALLY killed by the Bracken

Christmas Fics 2023 (Part 9):

Anything by MissiAmphetamine (Kaleidoscope) - T, one-shot - Just a fluffy little one-shot written while recovering from Christmas lunch, based on an accidental prompt by Pidanka, 'Anything'. Draco Malfoy, Auror, is assigned an unwanted partner; Hermione Granger, formerly working in the Artefacts and Evidence Department.

mercy in the snow by hauntedopal - M, one-shot - A work trip on Christmas Eve goes awry. “This is all your fault,” Hermione hissed. “You’re quite right, Granger,” drawled Malfoy. “It is my fault we found this pathetic excuse of a cabin to shelter in during this snowstorm. How horrible of me.”

A Christmas Confession by vellichorwrites - E, one-shot - “Gran—Hermione.” Her name sounds like a vow on his tongue. Sweet and earnest and desperate. Christmassy Dramione.

(And at Christmas you tell the truth) by Sienna_Black - E, one-shot -Muggle AU where Draco and Hermione meet as teens, fall in secret love at first sight, but are both convinced they have been ‘Friendzoned’ by the other. It all comes to a head when a handsome sports star enters their lives four days before Christmas.

EVERGREEN by fleurdejasmine - T, WIP - Instead of going to Azkaban, Draco Malfoy is sentenced to manual labor. Banned from using magic, he takes odd jobs to meet the requirements of his punishment. Like a muggle. The last place he expects to work is at Hagrid’s Christmas tree farm. He’s humiliated, exhausted, and bitter at the world. Hermione Granger’s frequent visits aren’t helping, either.

Cheap Wine by Lia_Redrose - M, one-shot - Draco and Hermione Malfoy have been married for some time now. They have to attend a gala for Christmas. Surprises await :)

Ashes & Soot (The Santa Clause au) by undercoverdrxco - T, one-shot - “I’m Draco Malfoy. Not Santa Clause.” He insisted while shaking his head, looking back up to her face. She didn't falter at all, her consistent smile began to irk Draco entirely. “Obviously.” “Old Santa is gone and someone must step up. You were obviously chosen, Draco Malfoy.” Trixie told him with a sparkle of magic in her eye. Draco swallowed a laugh that would have been loud and in her face as she continued, “Please, put on the suit.” - Or the one where Draco Malfoy becomes Santa Clause

Mind The Gap by SunflowersXx - G, one-shot - How on earth did Hermione Granger end up in the same tube as Draco bloody Malfoy, two weeks before Christmas? In which Hermione runs into Draco on the tube and they spend the next two weeks crossing paths on their morning commute and it all feels just a little like their knitted strings were meant to tie into a neat little Christmas bow.

Life Changing Mistletoe by MidnightPhilosopher - T, one-shot - Draco stumbles upon Hermione out in the garden during the Yule Ball. They get caught under an enchanted mistletoe. Draco tried to convince her that a kiss would be the fastest way out of the situation. It also puts them in a whole different sort of situation. Last fluffy day of Tumblr 12 Days of Christmas

A Perfectly Normal Christmas by Kayka - T, one-shot - Hermione should have realized Christmas was doomed when the mistletoe spontaneously caught fire. This was all somehow Draco Malfoy's fault, and now she can't seem to stop running into him everywhere.

The Malfoy Clause by d_read64 (76ducky64) - E, 7 chapters - Draco knew that, upon his father’s death, he would have to take over the Malfoy Estate. What he did not know, however, is that included in his newfound responsibilities is becoming the pinnacle of a muggle holiday once a year. Or: Draco discovers he must become Santa Claus to save the Malfoy Magic all while navigating his enormous crush on his holiday-loving friend, Hermione Granger. Inspired by The Santa Clause!

Darry Christmas by Starlight934 - G, one-shot - Draco Malfoy spends his first Christmas at the Burrow. He is nervous but he has Harry at his side and nothing could make him happier. Come with them and the Weasley family to enjoy a Darry Christmas

[karin-gespenst]

CtM CS 2023 first rewatch and further thoughts

early foreshadowing for Mr. Sharma: he says "I can find my own way." he's clearly referring to his navigator skills.

Angela's teacher promised her "house points" for making the scrap book. Can somebody tell me if "house points" is a common thing for teachers to use? I've only encountered the term in fiction books.

Fred calling Angela treacle was very sweet. Now that I think about it, Fred probably sees more of the Turner children than of his own grandchildren, or Violet's. He always organising something for the kids in the neighbourhood, from running the cubs to joining the bus ride to see the Christmas lights and sending his paper boys to the clinic for working children, and now he's the lollipop man. Good on him!

Tim passing his driving test reminded me of the giant bills I've been paying in the last few months for my kid going to driving school. And then I noticed that Shelagh still does not drive. Chummy learned and Sister Winifred and I'm sure by now Delia has taught Patsy as well. On the other hand, Patrick is always using the car, Shelagh would have to get her own vehicle if she wants to drive.

Meanwhile, Miss Higgins is aquiring new premises for the clinic, and shows her best no-nonsense attitude while the badminton match is going on behind her. It's hilarious.

Sister Monica Joan is not impressed by Apollo

her complaint about Patrick is exquisite: "Can you not remove this man? He seems to be pleading the case for eternal life."

Trixie in her hostess gown! Opinions? I like the gown better than her new hairdo.

Matthew cooking a festive dinner for them - good on him!

Geoffrey! So much to unpack there, he'll get his own post. What's his profession again? something with the expat community in Malta?

Brenda and Toni together in the maternity home, being honest but kind and sharing their fears, that is just beautiful. Having family around is lovely, but the kind of support and understanding that young mothers can give each other is really one of a kind.

Mr. Sharma in the hospital deserved more real attention instead of just well-meaning words from the staff, so they could maybe have lessened his fear and avoided his running off out through the snow without understanding why he's feeling so unwell. Without Cyril's patient kindness and the respectful trust he established this could have gone much worse.

Filming in the ambulance must have been exhausting. Birth scenes are always strenuous, but with three or four adults and several babies in the cramped space, I don't fancy being the cameraperson. The only other mother in labour who had Patrick sitting behind her as support was Shelagh, so Brenda is expertly looked after at this point.

What kind of care did the specialist give to Brenda during her pregnancy? apart from that one palpation he's just parading around and celebrating what he sees as his own achievments, when the development of fertility drugs is a joint effort of many people and the mothers are bearing most of the actual load.

I've noticed Nancy is more comfortable now reassuring mothers who share some of her experiences. Having a safe space to live together with Colette has given her calm and happiness.

I've had a two-hour-drive today in the dark and I did not like it. Phyllis driving home in pain through the snow makes me want to reach through the screen and pick up her car like a toy and place it safely in front on Nonnatus house. Glad to see her snapping many, many photos at the Christmas party.

Tim at the church organ made me smile. The entire scene is magical, brimming with detail, and everyone playing their parts proudly. Apart from maybe baby Mark, who was not quite aware of the backstory.

[neotriobrainrot-reborn]

Imma rant about my Symbiote!Feenie au for a bit:

Also, since the au takes place after prison of plastic:

PRISON OF PLASTIC SPOILERS BELOW!!!!

I imagine that she willingly keeps the symbiote for a good while considering how fast she became friends with Rick only moments after meeting him. It's not hard to earn her trust

She tells Molly and Trixie about "Elixir" as soon as she can because of her trust with them. While both of them are rightfully cautious, they don’t take action as Phoenica seems mostly fine with it and even protective of the thing to a rather concerning degree. But nevertheless, they both do keep a watchful eye out. Well, mostly Trixie since Molly currently lives with Giovanni and Crusher

It's rather difficult for her to navigate around her life with it because of it's weakness to certain sound frequencies. She's managed to get a better handle on it rather quickly and hide her pain at the sound of a school bell, but she does still feel pain regardless.

But even outside of that, Trixie can't help but notice something odd about Phoenica. She starts referring to herself with plural pronouns like "We" and "I", which seems odd since Phoenica never used them when only referring to herself before, but it's small enough for Trixie to not ponder on it for long. Phoenica had a weird amount of strength and nearly ripped a door off its hinges by accident, which was a little harder to disregard.

But what they couldn't dismiss was Phoenica’s strange care for that...thing. It wasn't unusual for Phoenica to automatically trust others, but she took it to an extremely not normal even to her. She spends almost every moment with it, and when Trixie had tried to talk to her about it, she just said: "It makes us a better Magical Girl!" but it wasn't even teaching her magic, just how to use its weird powers some more.

Trixie didn't know what was going on with Feenie, but they were getting to the bottom of it

[callofthxvoid]

WHO: Trixie Vos and Lance Cerulli ( @backmaskcd )

SUMMARY: Trixie and Lance promised to have an actual conversation about their relationship. This is that conversation.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: References to alcoholism, sex-as-coping-mechanism, and a smidge of horniness

It wasn't often that TRIXIE voluntarily spent an evening sitting with her emotions, but that was exactly what she had done the night before—she had sat down with a cup of tea and a notebook and really thought about how she felt. What she wanted. What she expected. What she was worried about. As difficult and uncomfortable as that had been for her, she was grateful for it now as she curled up on the couch with her hands in her lap, silently running through her notes in her head.

"You know, after we agreed to have a proper conversation about us, I realised that I never actually asked you how you feel about me," she started, glancing down as she idly played with her own hands. "But I also haven't fully expressed how I feel about you. So I'd like to start with that." She took a deep breath and looked back up at him. "I love you. I love you and I'm in love with you. I had to practice saying that without stuttering my way through it, but here I am, and I'm saying it, and I'm in love with you. And you're right." She continued fiddling nervously with her hands. "That does scare me."

Sitting across from Trixie had never been uncomfortable - and while that's not how LANCE would describe the way he felt now, it certainly held more weight than any past conversations did.

"You didn't," he started, but didn't want to completely derail her when it seemed like she'd already geared up to go first. At her admission of practice, Lance couldn't help but smile a little. "Of course you did." He shook his head slightly. "I know you better than most people, Trixie. That's why I never pushed you, or told you how I felt." He paused for a moment. "I like you a lot. I do love you, and I need you to listen to me before you completely freak out again. I know I can be in love with you - but I'm not there yet. I couldn't let myself fully fall in love with you if I thought you were going to bolt the minute you saw it on my face. You're not hard to love; but I'm just as scared of getting hurt, too. I want to fall head over heels in love with you, and if you let me, I'd like to do what with you instead of at you." He frowned a little. "Does that make sense? I just - I think us being together in a more defined way would be the first step."

"You know me better than anyone," TRIXIE admitted. It wasn't that her siblings didn't also know her very well, but Lance had lived with her for years, had seen her practically every day, and that kind of exposure to another person was difficult to rival. When he spoke, there was a brief second of sheer panic in her eyes, but he asked her to listen before completely freaking out; and because it was him, she did.

"It makes sense," she reassured him with a small nod. "And I want to. I want to let you, and I want us to be together. I am scared, but... I'm a lot more scared of hurting you than I am of getting hurt myself." She paused to consider her next words. "I don't mean that in a self-deprecating way. What I mean is that the roles of 'person who helps you with your sobriety' and 'person you are in a romantic relationship with' are both very important and can sometimes be at odds with each other. And I don't think that's impossible for us to navigate, but I do think it has to be done purposefully, you know?" She took a deep breath. "I also think that us both having family around helps. You and I were basically each other's only support system for a long time, and that's... A lot. To put on a new relationship."

No matter who LANCE was having this conversation with, he needed to navigate it carefully; but it was important that it was Trixie. He felt bad. She deserved his love. But as he explained, he was fairly certain she understood where he was coming from and why he hadn't been able to fully let himself fall for her.

"I'd like us to be together, too." He paused for a moment before sheepishly admitting, "I was really jealous. When you told me Ven was here. I got... worried. That maybe this thing that was happening between us would fizzle out." He chewed on his lower lip in thought. "I'm not sure... I'm wondering if you should be both. I know you can, because you're stubborn. But maybe it's not fair of me to ask you to be both. It's your decision either way, but I really want you to think about it. I don't want to put you in a position where you feel like you can't be something you want to be because I'm putting you in between a rock and a hard place." Another pause. "It's a little different. I don't let my siblings support me the way you let yours do. I feel guilty. But I'm trying to find someone else to lean on other than you all the time. You already filled that role for me for the longest time. I want to try something new now."

TRIXIE felt a small smile tugging at her lips at his admission of jealousy. Not because she wanted Lance to be jealous, but because the way he expressed himself was endearing to her, and it made her want to reach out and pull him close. But she knew that if she did that, she wouldn't be able to focus on having the conversation that they needed to have. "I had a feeling that was why you kept asking about him," she admitted in return. "I don't know if you're still worried about that, but just to be safe... I meant everything I said then. About the right person being someone who makes you want to try even when it's hard. For me, you are that person."

She paused, thinking over his words carefully, before slowly nodding. "I can be both, but I don't think I can be both one hundred percent of the time," Trixie reasoned. "And I'd rather be your girlf... Your g..." She grimaced slightly, a soft chuckle slipping out, knowing full well how ridiculous it was that she couldn't even say the word. "I'd rather be with you than be your sober companion. I'm probably always going to be a little of both, but I do think it would make me feel better if I know I can prioritise being one over the other." She paused, and this time when she felt like reaching out for him, she did—gently taking one of his hands in hers. "I'm not going to tell you what you should or should not let your siblings do. You are still first and foremost my friend, and you'll always have me to lean on, but... I like where this is going. You and me. And I want to be able to commit to that without being scared of dropping the ball elsewhere."

"Worried isn't exactly the right word," LANCE protested, a soft flush across his face. "It's not that I don't believe you - it's just weird when someone you were very serious about suddenly shows up. I don't know how to feel, and I know you wouldn't lie to me, but it doesn't make the situation any more clear."

He bit back a smile as Trixie tried and failed to say she wanted to be his girlfriend. Baby steps. "You're so fucking cute, you know that?" He had to interrupt, leaning in to give her a brief kiss; not quite chaste, but determined enough to keep it to just that one. "You can be whatever feels right. It's not fair to say I'm not a risk - especially since part of this whole thing kicked off because I was worried I'd start drinking just to feel something - but I'm a lot better than I was back when I was first trying to get sober. You can be more of whatever you want to be instead of more my sober companion." He gently squeezed her hand. "I like where this is going too. My siblings... it's different. You're the middle kid. I only have younger siblings and then Eric which is... a work in progress. But I've also got my AA group, don't forget." He paused for a moment. "You're my friend first and foremost, too. You don't need to be scared of dropping anything but my feelings for the foreseeable future."

TRIXIE nodded. "It might be something that can only really be resolved by time," she mused, and while she did not like the idea of not being able to do something now to make him feel better, she knew that it was simply something she might have to accept. "You know, Ven and I met in college. I've known you for twice as long as I knew him. And I'm more than twice as serious about you now than I was about him then."

It almost surprised her how easily she admitted to that; but she knew that she meant it when she said it, and she hoped that Lance did too. She felt her cheeks flush from the kiss, instinctively chasing after him when he pulled away, before catching herself and pulling back as well. "You are a lot better," she agreed with a small smile, squeezing his hand back. "I'm always going to worry about you, but that's because I care about you, not because I don't trust you. I trust you to lean on the people in your AA group. And I trust you to be honest with me if you're struggling." She paused. "Speaking of risk, I... I do recognise what a big risk you took in addressing the elephant in the room first. And I know I'll probably need to move things forward for a while because you are, rightfully, worried that I'll freak out if you do. I accept that. I don't think it'll be easy, but you're worth it to me."

Admittedly, her telling him that did make him feel better. Trixie was always so guarded, and any moment LANCE could get her to open up and say something deeply genuine, he counted as a win - even if it was over his insecurity surrounding her ex boyfriend.

His smile widened when Trixie tried to keep the kiss going, but he opted not to address it. "I know. You saw me at my worst. I expect that you'll always worry about me because you know how bad it can get." Lance bit the inside of his cheek as Trixie continued, nodding very slightly. "Yes. I appreciate you want to know how I feel about things, or you, but it's.... hard for me. To convince myself to open up like that when I've seen how scared you get of it. I don't - I don't want you thinking I'm placing the whole pace of this on you, or that I'm blaming you for anything. I just need you to recognize that because of the way you react, I can't take the traditional first steps I would in any other situation. It doesn't mean I don't care about or for you, you know." He flushed a little, picking at the hem of his shirt. "That's really sweet, Trix."

"It's okay, I don't think that you're placing everything on me, or blaming me," TRIXIE reassured him, lifting her free hand up to briefly cup his face. There was a soft smile on her lips as she brushed his cheek with her thumb. "And I know that you care about me. Because you know what I'm like and you still took that risk. Because you can see me struggle to say the word girlf—girl—goddamnit." She ran her hand through her hair and chuckled. "You said that I can be whatever feels right. I'm committed to you, Lance. I want the label. I want to be able to say it, I want to be able to scream it from the rooftops, but clearly, I'm struggling a little with that." She sighed. "I wouldn't mind if you did. But I know you won't until I do. And I accept that as well."

LANCE often spent so much of his time worrying about how people would react, he didn't actually give them the chance to do it. He was so anxious that Trixie would feel like she's the only reason this relationship couldn't work, he barely focused on the fact that Trixie was well aware that she told him everything about how she'd run from every past relationship. "I can; and it's very cute," he pulled her in for another kiss, this one a little longer; but he was determined to stay on track. "You're worth the risk to me, too. That's.... Why I keep sleeping with you," Lance admitted. "After the first time.... I don't know. I knew something shifted. But I didn't want to say it because I liked the way it felt. Not the sex - though no complaints there - but it just felt really nice. To be close to you like that."

TRIXIE felt her cheeks go an even brighter shade of red when he repeated that he thought it was cute. She was about to protest when Lance's lips collided with hers, and she let out a soft noise of surprise before kissing him back eagerly, looking a little dazed when they broke apart again. "I should be used to how that makes me feel by now and yet," she mumbled, shyly dropping her gaze and waiting for her face to stop burning. Clearing her throat, she looked back up at him with a small smile. "I felt it too," she admitted. "It was different with you. And I kind of knew I had feelings for you when I realised that I kept wanting to be close to you like that, not to run away from whatever issues I have that I don't want to deal with, but just... Just because. Just because I wanted to." She paused. "I don't think I have the healthiest relationship with casual sex. I told you that once, that I pretend like I'm having fun but I'm not, I just feel empty. And I don't want to feel empty anymore. I want to feel like I do with you." She took a deep breath. "I guess this is my way of telling you that I'm not going to be sleeping with anyone else. I know you're in your whole sober slut era, so if you want to keep doing that, I... I'm okay with that. I want monogamy but I don't need it."

"I know what you mean," LANCE admitted. "I feel like my temperature rises every time you kiss me, and like my heart is gonna beat out of my chest." He bit back a smile as she kept talking, feeling a strange sense of pride while Trixie picked herself apart - but in a more productive way than he was used to. "You don't - but it wasn't really my place to say anything before. You had to figure that out." Both his eyebrows raised at her last statement however. "I - Trixie." Lance gave her what could best be described as a disappointed brother face. "I don't want to start whatever this is like this. If we're going to trust each other and open up to each other, that includes setting boundaries. If you don't want me sleeping with other people, even if you can't say what label we have yet, but are willing to acknowledge we have something more than friendship here? Say it. I'm not going to react badly to it. Yeah. I just started it, but I'll find something else to keep me busy. It's not like trading alcohol for sex was the smartest choice I've ever made."

TRIXIE did her best to shy away from cheesy metaphors for infatuation, but when Lance described what it felt like when she kissed him, she could have sworn it felt exactly like butterflies were fluttering in her stomach. With a smile, she leaned forward and kissed him again, running her hand through his hair and then all but forcing herself to pull back so that they could finish their conversation. She knew that what they were talking about was important and she was determined to do things the right way between them. If there had ever been a time for her to learn how to approach a relationship with honesty, and with trust, it was with Lance. "I do mean it when I say I'm okay with it," she started, before taking a deep breath and nodding. "But yeah, you're right. I would prefer if you didn't. I'm not trying to be like, possessive or anything, I just... I think I would be more comfortable if we were exclusive. I like it just being us."

LANCE loved the way Trixie's fingers felt in his hair. If he was being transparent, he just loved the way it felt when she touched him full stop. He was trying not to smile too widely when it was easy for him to tell that it took a lot of effort for Trixie to cut off the kiss before it turned into something more. "That's better," he playfully tipped her chin up to give her a soft kiss. "It doesn't make you sound possessive, Trix. It makes you sound like someone who wants to have an exclusive relationship. That's normal. Really. I like it just being us, too."

TRIXIE felt her cheeks flush again when he tilted her chin up and kissed her. There was a light, giddy feeling in her chest, and she didn't know what else to do with it other than let out a soft giggle. "I'm sorry, I'm just—I'm happy," she said, sounding surprised by her own statement. It didn't surprise her that Lance made her happy. She was just unused to the feeling in general. "I'm happy we're in an... exclusive... relationship." She sounded out the words slowly, but she did at least manage to say them, which she took as a win. "Us. You and me. Me and you. We're in a relationship."

If it were anyone else, LANCE probably would have made a borderline condescending comment; it was just his sense of humor. However, it was Trixie, and he knew what a big deal this was to her. "I'm happy too," he gently tucked some of her hair behind her ear. "We are in a relationship. And I'm in it for the long haul, so just please, talk to me if you're feeling overwhelmed or scared. You've always been there for me when I needed you. So let me return the favor. Let me be the one to reassure you when you're convinced the entire world is about to crash down around you."

TRIXIE took a deep breath. She wouldn't say that she wasn't scared, but she was a lot less scared than she thought she would be, and a lot of that had to do with how much she trusted Lance. She believed him when he said that he was in it for the long haul. She believed that he could reassure her in a way nobody else could. "Okay," she said, nodding slowly. "I think I can do that. I want to do that." She briefly dropped her gaze before looking back up at him with a small smile. "The entire world crashing down around me doesn't seem so scary when I'm with you."

"That's all I ask," LANCE gently reassured her. And it was. There was very little he actually needed from her. She'd been the most dedicated friend he'd ever had for the last seven years. The progression from best friends to lovers seemed so obvious, and yet somehow had blindsided them both. "I think we deserve a reward for actually talking about our feelings instead of ripping all our clothes off instead," he paused before giving her a look that was something between mischievous and bashful. "I suggest that reward be ripping all our clothes off."

Would you care to recommend a cat puzzle or two? A friend of mine has a new kitten who needs ~spoiling~ entertaining

Sure! Even a small kitten could start learning the easier parts of these boards.

1) "Bugging out" has 2 types of sliders, great for hiding crunchy treats:

https://www.nina-ottosson.com/products/all-products/bugginout-puzzle-play-cat-puzzle-game.html

2) And this "fun board" by Trixie is good for testing manual dexterity- lots of different obstacles to navigate

https://www.trixie.de/en/cat/toys-for-cats/strategy-games/fun-board-strategy-game-1001092656-1001097402

Both of these can be ordered from various places online. I find each occupies Dexter for about 45-60 minutes.

Most boards are some variation of these -- the only major mechanic missing is this board by AFP I showed the cats today -- it has holes in a case where they have to fish their paws through.

Also a good choice, as it has an adjustable difficulty level.

C I N E C R A F T

Nixon Copour, the ever-elusive brother to Trixi, made quite the impression on Tuesday evening at the CineCraft Academy festival. Known as the ultimate dream for indie directors and producers, this festival marked Nixon's first attendance. As expected, he kept a low profile, displaying a shyness that seemed almost out of place given his experience under the spotlight. Despite being no stranger to the flashing lights, Nixon opted to walk the red carpet alone, engaging with no one in particular. His latest film, "Boys Like Me," about a group of teenage boys navigating the tumultuous journey of self-discovery, garnered significant attention. Though it's not his first film, it is the first to earn such prestigious accolades. While Nixon didn’t snag the coveted Best Director of the Year award, his movie took home Best Picture, a monumental achievement in itself. Interestingly, Nixon was a no-show at the after-party, leaving his cast and crew to bask in the glory of their win. But when red carpet photos of Nixon hit the internet, fans couldn't get enough. The comments section was ablaze with admiration, with one fan capturing the sentiment perfectly: "Nixon Copour exudes an effortless elegance and raw talent." It's clear that despite his reserved demeanor, Nixon Copour continues to capture the world’s attention with his undeniable talent and classic charm.

Happy Pride Month!!

So for pride month, I decided to shoutout a nice little LGBTQ+ game.

The game is called "The Testimony of Trixie Glimmer Smith" and I just love the subtle but spelt out themes of self-esteem, confidence and self-identity that is jam packed into this visual novel.

You follow a Rat character, who is a trans MtF, alongside her female friend. You have to navigate through cults, Satanists and otherworldly being all the while trying to navigate your own sense of self, this story has comedy and drama alongside the horror.

If you may, please check out the creator, Digital Poppy's Itchio page as there is also many different games that you may prefer more if you don't like visual novels.

Also check out her friend, Mia Cain's page!

And finally, please check out the LGBT section of Itchio games!

OH GODS I SAID A THING™ AND NOW I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD:

Probably because of the Announcement of the Animated M9 Series, but...

"Wildemount. The final Continent. This is the story of a rag-tag band of mercenaries and sellswords. Their five year Campaign? Prevent a reality altering relic from falling into the wrong hands, discover new conspiracies between warring nations, and boldly go where no one has gone (for good reason) before."

I call this abomination of an idea: DEEP SPACE NEIN!

And yes, it's every bit as cursed as you can imagine a CR / Star Trek crossover to be!

Everyone needs their space on the UNSC-1909 "Mighty Nein":

Fjord "The Unwitting Face of the group" Stone: Captain. That one's obvious.

Beauregard "Beau" Lionett: Number One. Because she gets physical and FUCKS. You can blame Ryker for this one...

Yasha "Worf WISHES he hit this hard" Nydoorin: Security. Nuff said.

Caleb "my phaser doesn't have a Stun setting" Widogast: Navigation. Keen Mind once again comes in clutch!

Nott/Veth "The Brave" Brenatto: Engineering. Yeza helps as well! She's still CONSTANTLY smashed and that's how she does her best work!

Genevieve "Jester" Lavorre: Comms. This one is primarily because of the Message spell... During their travels, she finds a sterile Tribble she names "Sprinkle". Hilarity ensues.

Caduceus "Earl" Clay: Ship Doctor. Always a bit of tea on hand to talk about somebody else's problems. The crew knows better than to ask why he gets a new batch of tea whenever Spurt gets killed, though...

Mollymauk "Nine Eyes" Tealeaf: The hot bartender who illegally smuggled himself into the ship to escape a past he himself doesn't remember... Sees EVERYTHING. Knows everyone's secrets.

Essek "The Hover" Thelyss: That ONE guy in the Transponder room that energizes the teleporters. He seems unimportant until he gets promoted to Series Regular halfway through Season 2 due to his unexpected Political connections and insight.

He accidentally invented hover boots while messing around Engineering and now NEVER takes them off...

Bonus:

+ Pumat S.0.L: Ship's AI voice. Occasional holograms of him show up to manage the built-in shops, respectfully.

+ Kiri: Baby on board. The Wesley Crusher of the show. She and Luc get along quite well!

+ Shakaste: Chief Science Officer. Don't even give him LaForge shades. Have a little robotic Hummingbird called the Grand Duchess scan the area with sonar and directly transmit the info to his brain!

+ Calliana: Pilot. She flies the ship. Whether it's smooth sailing or crazy, death-defying acrobatics depends on her mood that day.

+ Spurt: The Red Shirt. It's always him. The same one. He always dies and comes back next episode like nothing ever happened. Nobody acknowledges this. "It's been 11 days since Spurt last went Splat".

+ Keg: A down-on-her-luck space smuggler the crew encounters on occasion. She's almost never followed by good news, but she's good for her word, and (with some "persuasion" from Beau) will usually help the crew out of a pinch.

+ Nila: She and her family were diplomats/emissaries for a pacifist race, but when her husband and child get kidnapped by Keg's old partners in crime, the Iron Shepherds, Nila proves to be a formidable spy on top of a ferocious fighter...

+ Reani: Still a vigilante, plain and simple. She goes from planet to planet "rescuing" people with her own lethal brand of justice. Her abilities as a shapeshifter and her interest in biology make her a valuable ally though, not to mention that she knows just about every shady person on any given sector...

+ Twiggy: The ship's resident Archeologist, albeit the most eccentric member of the crew. She specializes in identifying where magical artifacts come from, and dragging the crew on "archeological escapades" for "Science". Her pet squirrel Trixie and Caleb's cat Frumpkin seem to be good friends, but neither of them feel comfortable around Sprinkle for some reason...

+ Yussa: The Negotiator. Not because he can smooth-talk anyone, that's Fjord's thing. No, Yussa's the negotiator because of how EASILY he can figure out what everybody wants. Although he keeps a calm exterior, he has a habit of taking EVERYTHING regarding anything that resembles a puzzle or a mystery as a challenge, and his hubris WILL get the crew into trouble more than once...

Occasional antagonists include:

# The Iron Shepherds: Led by the dreadful Lorenzo, these low life slavers make their credits pulling the most despicable jobs... Regardless of who pays for them, so long as the job is paid for.

# Captain Avantika: Obligatory femme fatale with a thing for Fjord. Whether it's a relationship born of convenience, manipulation or simply blind worship towards the same thing, nobody can really tell. The pirate captain of the "Squalleater" is OBSESSED with releasing an entity which she believes to be an ancient god, hidden in the farthest reaches of space... And only the crew can stop her from achieving her malicious goal.

# Obann and the Unkillable Family: Much like Avantika, the God-releasing MO stands, but rather than getting their followers by power of charisma or duty, the crew of the ravager ship "Angel of Irons" directly controls the minds of the people they believe might help them accomplish their goal... Including the Nein's own Chief of Security for a time.

# Special Guest Star Matthew Mercer as "The Traveler": He's Q. That's it. He's JUST Q. There is no joke, there is no agenda other than wanting to become a God himself, but taking such a liking to Jester that he can never endanger the crew to continue his schemes, so he finds ways to trick them into helping him out... Mostly by pretending to be a sterile Tribble and arousing chaos wherever he goes.

And that's what I've got! Let me know what you think! I'm not very good at AUs, but I couldn't get this idea out of my head!

Guardians Of Africa: Rebels Shall Rise

Hello World!

Recently, I rewatched Ms Marvel (2022), Hawkeye (2021), Spiderman: Far from Home and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. I got me thinking that I really love teen superheroes in the MCU. Trust me, I would give me soul to Captain Marvel and Iron Man, but it's really cool to see relatable, kickbutting teenagers in Marvel movies and shows. It got me thinking that maybe I want to do that, create my own teen super. What better way to make a teenager character when you're an actual teenager? Since I can't draw 😔😔😔 I'm just going to write my ideas and add some photos from my good friend Pinterest. Any artist who wants to contribute is free to do so 😁😁😁.

_________________________________________________________

Long ago, a horrible disease spread across Africa called the Great Plague. It made people sick in bed for days and meet their demise in a week. Thankfully, the disease went as fast as it came but not without side effects. Survivors of the Great Plague now possessed superhuman abilities and dedicated themselves to defense their nations. They were called West-bloods. 

A hundred years later, young West-bloods are trained in special academies to hon their powers and become Guardians of Africa.

Nancy Chidinma Godwin, the main character, began her training at ten under her brother James and her father Alex, a powerful West-blood called the Mindbender. Nancy adopted the persona of the Cat Burglar, a master thief and gymnastics prodigy, striving to please her father even at the cost of her own interests and friendships.

After failing a mission to retrieve a stolen gem, Nancy becomes a disappointment to her family. Her father becomes distant, her brother ignores her, and her best friend Tiffany betrays her by dating her brother. In her despair, Nancy decides to stop seeking approval and starts rebelling, cutting her hair into a spiky buzzcut and adopting a new style.

At twelve, Nancy gains super intelligence and electrokinesis, developing a passion for science and coding. She creates fingerless gloves that turn electric energy into physical matter. Despite continuing her training, she loses interest in missions and drops the Cat Burglar alias. Her relationship with her father deteriorates, and she finds a new role model in her aunt, Doctor Beatrice (Trixie), a brilliant engineer who also faced family rejection.

Now fourteen, Nancy begins her first year at the Guardian Institute, an exclusive academy established by the Renegades, led by her father. The Institute, which only accepts 30 students, is divided into three houses: Regal House, Aether House, and Alpha House. Regal House, the most prestigious, is coordinated by the Mindbender. Aether House, the second best, is known for its optimism and being the voice of reason. Alpha House, nicknamed the ‘Rebel House,’ is known for its rule-breaking students and rivalry with Regal House. Despite being offered a place in all three houses, Nancy chooses Alpha House, preferring it over a toxic team.

In Alpha House, Nancy reunites with her old friends Dani and Moses. As she navigates her new life with frosty friendships, awkward Sunday dinners, and constant competitions, Nancy is determined to fix her past mistakes and heal the pain, all while investigating sinister activities within the Institute that may be connected to villains targeting Lagos City.
