Zanni WIPs of 2024

See what I'm working on under the cut ♡

Star Trek

❄️️ Fathom - Star Trek AOS - Jim Kirk/Spock + Jim Kirk/Bones

Jim raises his head and tries to stay on track of the conversation. “Always?”  And what he means is, ‘In every reality?’ Spock inclines his head in a subdued nod. “All that is, is yours.”  Est. 30k

❄️️ Wonderful Boy - Star Trek AOS - Jim Kirk/Spock + Jim Kirk/Bones

Jim wakes up in the new version of reality and he’s trying to find his place. Meanwhile, his relationships with Bones and Spock are strained as he works to reconcile the shift in status quo. Bones doesn’t stroke his hair back at night just to see his eyes better. Spock stands a little too close and keeps making abortive movements like he’s about to reach out. Jim can sympathise, but it’s still weird to have affection cut off from everyone but the one person who’s always given him a cold shoulder. OR AOS Jim wakes up in a world where his father didn't die on the Kelvin, his crew are polite but not personal, and he's never stepped foot on Tarsus IV. Oh, and he's got the wrong size science blues hanging up next to his gold shirts. Est. 60k

❄️️ Untitled - Star Trek AOS - Jim Kirk/Spock

A military AU set throughout the Bell Riots, Second Civil War, Eugenics War, and WWIII. Est. 200k

One Direction

❄️️ Cherry - One Direction- OT5 (starts off Nouis-centric) - ABO

Louis Tomlinson is probably the bureau's least impressive employee (and that's including janitor Stan 'the Man') but when an anonymous hook-up leaves him the best person to infiltrate a crime ring, he's forced into the field with a fake identity. Can he seduce the members of The Pack well enough to bring them down? And by the time he uncovers more than just their secrets, will he want to? Est. 45k

❄️️ If I Could Fly- Larry - Spiderman!Louis + Uni AU

Louis is busy coming to terms with being a superhero, but that doesn’t mean all the other responsibilities that come with being human are suddenly put on hold. The sanctuary of the education system won't last forever, and with Harry-- his lovely, beautiful, sex-god of a boyfriend-- a week from graduating with Masters, it's time to start thinking about the future. Their future. If only Louis could get his past to stay in the past. How long can Louis keep spinning lies until he’s caught in his own web? He's hoping at least a week. Est. 25k

❄️️ The Goodbye Scene- Larry - Authors AU + Enemies to Lovers

Louis and Harry are in the midst of co-writing a novel. Everything is fine, except for how they kind of can’t stand each other right now. Harry’s a romantic, wants everything to be perfect with the glossy sheen of pornography. Louis hates that. Things aren’t always perfect, and he wants to show how sex in reality can actually be kind of lack luster and awkward. He might be a bit sour since he’s still getting over his ex, but so sue him. He’s right on this, okay? It culminates in a heated debate as Harry insists the extravagant can be sexy and romantic when done right. Louis doesn’t believe him, and he’s not putting it in the book until Harry proves it to him. Which means Harry decides to prove it. Thus begins their trials to see who’s right: can sex be just as sexy and lust filled as the most harlequin romance novel out there, or will these grand ideas fall flat and lead more to injury than ecstacy? Est. 20k

❄️️ Black Silk - One Direction - Larry - ABO + Crime Thriller

Louis is a drug mule for designer narcotics that gets caught in a messy drop-off that leaves him on the wrong side of a corrupt deal. With nowhere to go and a city full of gang-lords and millionaires on his tail for the lost product, Louis seeks haven with the last person he even remembers having a conversation with. Only Niall the friendly omega is out of town, and in his place is a grumpy cat-sitter who doesn’t appreciate convicts bleeding on the rug. Est. 30k

❄️️ Ride or Die, Sweetheart - Larry - Bike Racer AU + Exes to Lovers

Harry bleeds diesel. He exhales red desert dirt and sweats motor oil. After twenty-six years he’s discovered two truths of life: He was born to race. He will love Louis Tomlinson until the day he dies. A case could be made to say there's a third fact: Louis’s hate for him burns hotter than an engine in the sun Est. 40k

❄️️ Who Hung the Moon - Larry - Time Travel + Exes to Lovers

After the second worst day of his life, Harry is sent back in time to the most horrible-terrible-no-good-very-bad week of his existence: The week Louis Tomlinson shattered every dream he had and broke his heart. Est. 25k

❄️️ Broken Wishbones - Larry + Narry - ABO + Accidental Bonding

It was Louis who spent Christmas morning with Harry, and it was Louis who received birthday blowjobs, and it was always going to be Louis who got on one knee with a ring. Niall didn’t have a part in any of that. Which is why it’s so fucked up that the teeth marks on Harry’s neck don’t match Louis’s mouth. Est. 20k

❄️️ Honeybee - Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson

Sex, Drugs, and Rock n' Roll during glamorous 70's. Est. 200k

Teen Wolf

❄️️ Hope You Get This Message - Teen Wolf - Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale

Had anyone actually seen him recently? When was the last time you spoke to him? Did any of us really know him?  When the man known as Peter Hale disappears, Stiles is just one of a group of strangers that come together during the investigation. Pretty quickly it's clear that things don't quite match up to what everyone thought they knew about him. The one thing they can agree on is that everything they know about Peter might have been false, but there’s no way he’s guilty of what he’s being accused of. Right? The longer the case goes on, the more apparent it is that Peter wasn’t the only one with secrets. Est. 60k

[evelything]

As we stand on the threshold of a new year, I can not ignore the hatred, violence and failing democracies that I have witnessed in the last months and marked the times we live in. While I don’t seem to find any reasons to celebrate, my heartfelt wish for the coming year is immediate PEACE. A profound and lasting Peace for the world.  🤲���💖

"Two men. . . My specialty."

Zanny, 2024

[arriascianna]

Just fyi there's a change.org petition demanding Sean Zanni apologise for his comments to Stray Kids at the MetGala. Whether it'll be useful or not isn't important. What's important is making companies, and Zanni himself, aware of just how many people he's angered. Hopefully if it reaches a large enough number companies will think twice before working with him. Wishful thinking I know but one can try. Now someone get #justiceforskz trending on twitter :D

Sport Expo Week a Verona. Proseguono gli eventi della settimana dello sport

Sport Expo Week a Verona. Proseguono gli eventi della settimana dello sport. Dopo 17 edizioni, l'evento quest'anno si è fatto ben più grande: la consueta tre giorni presso la Fiera di Verona è preceduta infatti da Sport Expo and the City che, da lunedì 11 marzo a venerdì 15 marzo, sta portando lo sport capillarmente nel tessuto cittadino con diverse iniziative dedicate a bambini, bambine, ragazzi e ragazze dai 3 ai 20 anni. Oggi, giovedì 14 marzo, in agenda appuntamenti al Centro sportivo De Stefani per il torneo di Calcio a 5, mentre dalle 15 alle 18 apriranno le proprie porte Veronascherma SSD e l'A.S.D. King Rock Climbing. La settimana di Sport Expo Week è iniziata con il convegno dal titolo "La tregua olimpica. Quando lo sport ferma(va?) le guerre", che si è tenuto nella mattinata di lunedì 11 marzo 2024 al Teatro Camploy. Sul palco, davanti a una platea piena di studenti provenienti dalle Scuole secondarie di secondo grado e dal corso di Scienze Motorie dell'Università di Verona, sono intervenuti sportivi e sportive, insieme a diverse figure istituzionali, per parlare del ruolo dello Sport come agente diplomatico e motore di pace, riflettendo sulle dinamiche dell'attualità in vista delle prossime Olimpiadi parigine. Tra gli ospiti erano presenti Diana Bianchedi, Campionessa Olimpionica Barcellona 1992 e Sidney 2000 e ora nel team di Milano Cortina 2026, Cristiano Musillo, Consigliere d'Ambasciata Ministero dello Sport, Giampaolo Mattei, Presidente Athletica Vaticana, Sara Simeoni, Campionessa Olimpionica Mosca 1980, e Simone Perrotta, Consiglio direttivo AIC Onlus e Campione del Mondo 2006. Sempre lunedì 11 marzo ha preso il via Fuori Expo, Open Days di sport poco diffusi organizzati dalle diverse società sportive direttamente nelle loro sedi e dedicate ai ragazzi e le ragazze dai 15 ai 20 anni. Negli scorsi giorni le società sportive coinvolte sono state A.S.D. King Rock Climbing, Fondazione Marcantonio Bentegodi, A.S.D. Taki No Kan, Esercito con l'85° RAV Verona, l'APS Equestre Horse Valley ASD, l'AICS Eventi ASD, l'Accademia Crown ASD e l'ASD CUS Verona. Giovedì 14 ad aprire le proprie porte, dalle 15:00 alle 18:00, saranno Veronascherma SSD e nuovamente l'A.S.D. King Rock Climbing; venerdì 15 spazio a pugilato e football americano con Associazione Pugilistica Scaligera e ASD American Football Verona. I giovani, Allievi e Juniores, delle Scuole Secondarie di Secondo grado, sono stati coinvolti in settimana anche in tornei sportivi organizzati in collaborazione con l'Ufficio Scolastico Provinciale. Martedì 12 più di 150 studenti, proveniente da 7 istituti diversi, si sono sfidati a pallavolo presso il Centro sportivo Le Grazie. Con loro anche 3 giocatori del Verona Volley, Lorenzo Cortesia, Leandro Mosca e Andrea Zanotti, che hanno premiato le squadre vincitrici. Oggi, al Palazzetto Gavagnin, per il torneo di Basket 3V3, sono attese più 36 squadre per disputare oltre 70 partite. Con gli studenti anche Falilou Mbacke e Petar Kuzmanic della Scaligera Basket. Domani l'ultimo appuntamento al Centro sportivo De Stefani per il torneo di Calcio a 5. A premiare i vincitori ci saranno Alessandro Berardi, portiere Hellas Verona, in gialloblù da 6 stagioni consecutive, Alessia Rognoni Attaccante HVW, e Silvia Zanni, centrocampista HVW.                              «Gli studenti delle scuole secondarie di secondo grado hanno accolto queste iniziative con grande entusiasmo, disponibilità e curiosità - dichiara Francesco Todeschini, Referente provinciale dell'Ufficio Scolastico per l'Educazione Fisica e Sportiva -. Quanto proposto con il Fuori Expo e con i tornei studenteschi è stata per noi una vera e propria sfida e molti ragazzi e ragazze hanno colto l'occasione per provare a capire e avvicinarsi a sport altri, nuovi, diversi. La trasversalità a livello di competenze motorie è una degli aspetti più interessanti e avere al nostro fianco in questo percorso l'Università di Verona con Scienze Motorie ha certamente un forte valore per comprendere la ricaduta sul territorio di eventi come questo in termini di iscrizioni a nuove federazioni e risultati sportivi. Il convegno è stato molto apprezzato e gli studenti sono intervenuti con molte domande, complice un tema che ha colpito, con un valore educativo e formativo innegabile. Credo che questa edizione di Sport Expo segni la maturità dell'evento con un cambio di passo importante, una crescita sia in termini numerici che di consapevolezza, grazie anche al coinvolgimento degli studenti più grandi». In contemporanea, per i più piccoli dai 3 agli 8 anni, sono stati attivati nelle diverse circoscrizioni, da lunedì a giovedì, Playground per l'avviamento all'attività sportiva dalle 15:30 alle 18:00. Domani, per l'ultimo appuntamento, sarà il turno della IV circoscrizione presso la Piastra Tirso e la VII circoscrizione presso il Centro Ca' Bianca. "Positiva la prima esperienza di Sport Expo nei quartieri - commenta Rita Andriani, presidente della VI circoscrizione -. Abbiamo avuto un'ottima affluenza di bambini con le loro famiglie, un'importante opportunità di provare alcuni sport, magari meno usuali, per tanti giovani." Sport Expo - Il programma del weekend Nel fine settimana, da venerdì 15 a domenica 17 marzo 2024, sarà riproposto il consueto appuntamento in Fiera per i bambini dai 6 ai 14 anni che in un unico luogo troveranno diverse discipline sportive da scoprire e sperimentare. Qui i padiglioni numero 10, 11 e 12, per un totale di 60mila mq, accoglieranno i giovani e le loro famiglie per promuovere l'inclusione e un sano e corretto stile di vita, fondato sulla pratica sportiva e sulla corretta alimentazione, grazie alla partecipazione di federazioni e società di Verona e provincia. Il venerdì sarà dedicato alle scuole e gli istituti del territorio veronese e veneto, già 90 le classi iscritte, faranno visita all'evento, mentre sabato e domenica sarà dato spazio alle famiglie, con un calendario fitto di eventi articolato tra sport tradizionali e altri più innovativi. Sempre venerdì 15 marzo, alle ore 11:00, è in programma la cerimonia di inaugurazione di Sport Expo con le istituzioni coinvolte nel progetto. Expo QRcode La novità di quest'anno è l'Expo QRcode, per rendere più facile a bambini e famiglie ricordare gli sport provati all'interno dell'area espositiva. All'ingresso in fiera verrà consegnato a ogni bambino un braccialetto con un QRCode numerico casuale che non contiene alcun dato, mentre a ogni stand sportivo un volontario scannerizzerà il braccialetto e registrerà lo sport provato da ogni bambino. Al termine di Sport Expo verrà inviata una mail agli accompagnatori contenente tutte le informazioni sui vari sport praticati dai bambini, attraverso la quale sarà possibile accedere alle pagine correlate a queste attività. Per tutte le informazioni e per iscriversi direttamente online sono attivi i siti www.sportexpoandthecity.it e www.sportexpoverona.it. Per ulteriori informazioni contattare il 3351360554. L'accesso in Fiera sarà da Re Teodorico, su viale dell'Industria, e il parcheggio dedicato è il P7 - Re Teodorico.

I'm watching The Daily Show 29x01 "February 12, 2024 - Zanny Minton Beddoes"

[wack-ashimself]

If jon stewart has to unretire and do probably the only honest news in the usa, to deal with all the bull shit of the us, that's a bad sign lol

[falsegoodnight]

this is part two of my december fic rec! this list encompasses the fics i’ve read from the 18th to the 28th!! it’s also my birthday today which makes it even more special! i can think of no better way to spend today than spreading positivity! :)

you can find part one of this month here

✰ there’s happiness because of you by @hadestyles | NR | 1k - (so soft, tender, and beautiful!! rori’s writing amazes me always! and this was written for my birthday because they’re an angel <3)

Thursday mornings have always been their favourite.

✰ and it gets colder and colder by @hadestyles | E | 2K - (another rori fic!! once again, beautiful prose! made me feel emotional!)

Harry wants to take care of Louis. Things take a turn.

✰ make my wish come true by @soldouthaz | M | 3k - (drabble from this series) (so cute, lovely, soft, amazing!!! made my heart so happy! this is also dedicated to me which :’) sarah angel chant)

The taste of Christmas cookies fresh out of the oven and peppermint hot chocolate is still heavy on his tongue. Harry’s sweater provides some warmth and it still smells of him from before he left for his internship two weeks ago, but it’s nowhere near the feeling of his arms wrapped around him. Louis shivers despite the blankets.

✰ spirit meets the bones by @hadestyles​ | E | 3k - (i had to edit to add this because rori wrote another beautiful little fic for me :’) beautiful prose, beautiful emotions, so so so beautiful, gosh. pure poetry!)

The action shouldn’t fill his eyes with tears but it does. These small gestures mean the world to him. A steady reminder that Harry does notice all the tiny, seemingly insignificant details that make Louis him.

✰ 29 Blows by @quelquesetoiles | E | 4k - (super hot but also so cute!! love the concept of the birthday tradition in this one!!!)

For over a decade now, Harry has had his little tradition. It wouldn't be a Louis Tomlinson birthday without his best friend finding new, ingenious ways to make his life more difficult.

It's cute, it's funny, it's theirs, until Harry takes it a step too far on Louis' 29th birthday.

✰ calm me down (before i sleep) by @erodiansunflower | E | 7k - (a pwp and super hot, but also super cute??)

Prompt 24: Harry is a sex shop owner that has a crush on Louis, the shy customer who flirts with him while buying cute buttplugs, lace panties, and collars. One day, Louis asked Harry to help him put on a corset (they end up fucking in the dressing room). Things escalate quickly from there, so they start seeing each other seriously while trying other sex stuff.

✰ You’re Never Alone With a Moon This Bright by @helloamhere | T | 8k - (part one of this series) (WOW this was incredible and i am ENTRANCED! this author is an all-time favorite and idk why it took me so long to get to this series but i’m here now!! and loving it!!)

Louis was a monster. But sometimes, even monsters get a Christmas.

✰ Be a Good Girl For Me by @sincetheywere16and18 | E | 9k - (really hot and cute!!!)

Based on this prompt: “AU where Harry is Louis’ older brother’s best friend. He catches Louis dancing around his room in panties and blackmails him, saying that louis has to do anything he says or else he’ll tell Louis’ family that he wears girly underwear. Secretly soft for him, Harry gives him easy tasks and uses the whole thing to spend more time with Louis. Eventually, the orders begin to escalate and Harry teases Lou about his secret, making Louis shy and embarrassed. Louis loves the attention though, and forms a crush on his brother’s best friend. Lots of feminization, secret relationship, and enemies to lovers. Thank you!”

✰ it’s hard to fight naked by @loustarlight | E | 11k - (LOVED this so much!!! a big fan of enemies/flatmates to lovers especially when there’s a walk-in involved!!)

Louis leaves dirty socks on the couch, Zayn does assignments while he's high, and Harry is hopelessly crushing on his roommate.

✰ Sweet Scary Creatures by @specklelouis | M | 13k - (jurassic park au!! so cute and fun!!! loved louis’ character growth in this in particular!)

They stare into each other's eyes for a while until Louis remembers this is too intimate and looks at Harry’s hands on his thigh. It spans a big portion of his thigh and Louis has always been insecure about how thick he is, so he loves that Harry has huge, dustbin hands that hold him and makes him feel smaller, safer.

✰ hereafter (ad infinitum) by @larryent | M | 13k - (this was absolutely beautiful!! the writing was incredible, the contrast between the old timeline and new one impeccable, and the letters!!! love them!! and vampire harry is always a win!)

"A legacy is every life you’ve touched. And you’ve touched mine twice."

On the coast of San Francisco in 2024 is when Harry falls in love all over again.

✰ Believe Me When I Say You Have It All by @helloamhere | T | 20k - (part two of this series) (loved this even more than it’s predecessor. not to be dramatic, but i’d die for the louis and harry in this series. this whole world has my heart)

Harry had never faced anything in this forest that had actually succeeded in scaring him. Louis was no exception.

✰ Yours to Lose by @loulicate-recs | M | 26k - (so cute and soft and sweet!!! louis and harry were both angels and IAN <3 little cutie!!! so proud of you hanis!)

Louis always gets distracted with his mummy duty and he eventually catches Harry's attention.

✰ But It’s Useless by @thinlinez | E | 26k - (this put such a big smile on my face!! so cute and lovely!! louis was a relatable and adorable menace and harry was a smitten idiot but they both got there in the end!!)

Omega Louis would never guess that he would be trying to hack into Alpha Harry's Wifi. That is until everything changes when he tries to get to know his enemy.

✰ Stuck On You by Writewhatiwant | E | 34k - (so so sweet! loved the aspect of stickers in this fic and how louis found joy in them!! really loved how both louis and harry (especially harry) grew throughout this story and how they found peace at the end!)

Louis’ life revolves around his stickers. Harry’s life revolves around his job. The universe has decided their worlds should revolve around each other.

✰ smoke between your teeth by @soldouthaz | E | 37k - (i think everyone knows how much i adore sarah and her fics but this one just might be a new favorite! loved all the psych stuff, the pining, the rom-com worthy confession <3 brilliant!)

Louis tries to stop his addiction to cigarettes and discovers he's been addicted to Harry for much, much longer.

✰ Your Life Worth Walking on a Bright Morning by @helloamhere | T | 38k - (part three of this series) (it just keeps getting better and better <3 so comforting and consistent and beautiful!)

For all its complexity, Louis sometimes reminded himself, life could always be simplified into a series of forks in the road. Even overwhelmingly big things were survivable when you broke them down to their choice. One path or the other, left or right.

✰ On The Edge by @zanniscaramouche | E | 47k - (so crazy good!! zanni is always amazing me!! loved the ice skating, the hockey, the misunderstandings, the multi-faced and beautiful characters and relationships - all so perfect!)

Figure skating is as vital to Louis’ identity as his DNA, so when his skates go missing right before the last Olympics of his career there may be a meltdown only vanilla bath salts can fix. Well, that and the stupidly charming hockey player he met on the plane.

Harry’s too old to be the wonder kid and too young to be taken seriously in the NHL. As an alternate thrown in at the last second, he fights to prove himself on the national team at the largest sporting event known to man. Or he will, once he gets off this flight and can focus on something other than the fussy figure skater and his stunningly blue eyes.

A baggage mix-up skews both of their perfectly laid plans for gold, forcing the two to work together as the clock clicks towards the minute they’re expected to shine on centre ice.

✰ made for lovin��� you by @cuddlerlouis | E | 53k - (loved this so much!! touch depri/accidental bonds are my favorite and this was no exception!!! the characterizations, the tension, the misunderstandings, the tenderness, the fluff!!! so good!)

A quick, horny decision ruins Louis’ summer plans, but may also lead to unexpected discoveries. Featuring the road trip of dreams, misunderstandings, and a bit of fate.

✰ social cues by @outropeace | E | 56k - (so fucking good!! the slow burn in this was impeccable!!! pair it with friends with benefits, mutual pining, angst, misunderstandings... amazing <3)

To Harry, Louis was becoming as tangible and essential as music in his life. He still was a mystery but at the same time, he was one of the most real things Harry had. He just hoped he could live up to the image Louis probably had in his mind of him.

He could play the part, after all, what was published of him wasn’t as detached from reality. He didn’t think of himself as a rockstar cliche, although he couldn't deny he did sleep around, partied a lot, and did some drugs. But then again, wasn’t that what the majority of his friends back in his hometown were doing at college?

Harry wanted to impress Louis, he didn’t want to disappoint or leave his expectations unfulfilled, so he’d give him the full rockstar experience.

It was a very simple plan, what could possibly go wrong?

✰ dripping like spider milk by @raspberryoatss | E | 64k - (pip amazing me with her talent? a common occurrence. this was so wonderfully written and so well done!! loved the characterizations, the dynamic, the angst, the miscommunication, the pining, the HUMOR!!! it was all so amazing!!)

When he sees the alpha, his brown hair curling around the top of his neck and his broad back that’s filled out over the past couple of years, Louis freezes for a moment. The alpha turns around, Louis’ surprised expression mirrored on his own for a fraction of a second before he schools it into a big, yet shy grin and a wave of his huge hand. With his nostrils flared, Louis knows that he can smell him, too.

They never hired alphas, except for—

“Harry.”

✰ a taste of freedom and sweetened passion by @tomlinvelvetfics | M | 74k - (okay technically haven’t finished reading this one yet but i want to get this up early and i already know this is amazing because it’s LATE and she’s incredible!!! and, i mean, anne of green gables?? abo?? best birthday gift ever!! will be spending the day reading this in bliss <3)

“Are you mad?” he explodes, throwing his hands up, groaning. “I was so, so close to reaching my goal, and your stupid, stalking ass had to creep up on me, hm?”

Harry is trying to keep his laughter in, walking closer to him, eyes soft. He doesn’t like the way those eyes make him feel, an odd, dangerous mix of nervous and flustered, so he bends down to pick up the books, raising an eyebrow when Harry growls in protest.

“I wanted to pick them up for you,” the alpha pouts, and Louis glares at him, getting into position and lowering the pile of yellowed pages over the top of his head.

“I’m a functional human being, thank you very much,” he grits out as he begins to walk and mentally count the amount of steps he takes. One, two, three, for heaven’s sake Harry fuck off!, four, five. He doesn’t let himself be distracted as the alpha walks along with him despite the slow pace, green eyes focused on him in a way that would, in any other cases, compelled him to throw a book in the alpha’s face.

He doesn’t know why he doesn’t do it and certainly doesn’t want to think about the reason, whatever it might be.

If you read any of these lovely fics, remember to leave kudos and comment to show your appreciation!

B/S with the same RD music as Hannah and Ye

Kazakova/Reviya are competing against Davis/Smolkin this season. K/R earned Georgia 2 entries to Euros for 2024, but i believe Georgia has only 1 for Worlds, so every competition has extra weight for them. idk if K/R have a personal reason for skating to Schindler's List - it's a choice that comes with so much responsibility

the Taschlers's FD music-- there are two versions:

this one ⬇️ sounds more like what skaters choose and goes more with the other pieces, though this is the Taschlers, so ☺️🤷🏻‍♀️:
