Challenge #6 of 

Snowflake Challenge promotional banner with image of white ice crystals/snowflakes on a dark green background. Text: Snowflake Challenge January 1-31

was to rec something created by someone else!

In honour of my slutty slutty fandom ways, I simply went to my AO3 history and picked some pages in random and collected 10 fics in 10 different fandoms, all which I remember enjoying for a variety of reasons. Please note that this is more like a sampler and not any kind of 'best of the best in given fandom' because I Read A Lot and am not that organised.

(Also, you wouldn't think to look at this list but I don't just read porn! And yet...)

Any time, any place, any way by yantantether (Guardian, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, E) - Zhao Yunlan is away on a conference and missing his hot bf. Initiating phone sex is such a great idea. Things escalate. This is happens to be the most recent fic I've read that fit the criteria! My id and the author's share the same gutter so pretty much everything she writes is Relevant To My Interests and this is no exception. It's a pwp but one with playfulness and tenderness in addition to the filthy sex (which ticks many things of my kink list such as bruises, manhandling, power play).

Dream A Little (Wet) Dream Of Me by skintightsocks (Glee RPF, Chris/Darren, Chris/Darren/Lea, E) - Told you've I've been on Glee nostalgia tour. I like this author's everything, would highly recommend pretty much all their fics. This one just happened to be on my randomly selected page. This one is a lot of banter and pumpkin-carving and sharing of sex dreams ("I had a dream Lea and I double-teamed you," Chris blurts out) and phone sex and it's just very... Easy? Angst free and fun (and funny) and I actually like how there is no traditional 'then they got together' ending here, just... Some hot young people having hot fun.

I don't gamble but if I did I'd bet on us by ships_to_sail (Schitt's Creek, Patrick/David, T) - A delightful AU in which Patrick is a DJ for local radio's folk hour and David has a car radio that's stuck and Opinions on the music he's subjected to during his late night drives. This is so cute with spot-on characterisation and genuinely adorable meeting/identity reveal. Also, the sound-track is pretty good and introduced me to some new music.

they'll say we're in love by psikeval (Hamilton RPF, Jonathan Groff/Lin-Manuel Miranda, E) - Genuinely sad there isn't more fic for this pairing and there's a part of me that is still playing with that bdsm!AU idea for this pairing but so far have resisted. Anyway, this is a lovely friends-to-lovers slide with flirting and pining and text-messages and it's just stomach-swoopingly wonderful.

Only When Spoken To by CaptainWeasley (Brooklyn 99, Amy/Jake, E) - This is one of my favourite canon couples and absolutely rife with femdom potential. Which is realised beautifully in this filthy, filthy established relationship smut with role play, rules and excellent verbal humiliation. As the summary says 'Amy is now a sergeant and Jake is definitely into it.' The fic is definitely hot, but the love and trust between the two of them is really what gets me going. Happy sigh.

Ryan Number One by quackers (Buzzfeed Unsolved, Ryan/Shane, E) - Shane accidentally sends a rather explicit text to the wrong Ryan... Ryan can't stop thinking about it. A delightful frolic through the 'oh wait, my bff isn't as straight or as vanilla as i thought and now i have some feelings' trope and listen kids, I Am Here For It, especially when it also includes some sexy, sexy first time d/s.

Follow You Down by kirk_spock_in_the_impala (ryokoyuy) (Witcher, Geralt/Jaskier, M) - This definitely incorporates book/game canon that I know nothing about but it doesn't really matter, because it's essentially a bdsm!au where Geralt is both a sub and a Witcher and he never thought that combination would have a happy ending but turns out Jaskier has a thing or ten to teach Geralt and his family. Hello, have you met me? 146k slow burn friends-to-lovers bdsm!au is like delicious crack to me. This is also angsty, has some trauma recovery, more family feels than you can shake a sword at and is just utterly, utterly lovely.

Love in all its Forms
by Branwen_Blaidd (Sense8, all canon relationships but Wolfgang/Kala/Rajan centric, E) - When the show solved the seeming love triangle with a loving threesome I (literally) screamed in delight. The fic picks up the morning after and offers a long and loving exploration of the new relationship dynamic between them (dating, parents, therapy, intrigue!) as well as giving time for all the other relationships and friendships and cluster love. Absolute comfort read with changing povs.

I’ll Never Let You Go (If You Promise Not to Fade Away) by rabidchild67 (Grimm, Nick/Monroe, M) - Groundhog Day AU where Nick keeps dying and Monroe keeps trying to save him. Fun and deliciously angsty version of the timeloop trope with some pining and happy ending. Much enjoyed.

The Birthday Muffin by Lily_Dragon (Broadchurch, Alec/Ellie, T) - They are such human disasters who in this share not just painful history but also a birthday, which they navigate with much awkwardness, accidental innuendo and pining.

Time for Swowflake Challenge #3

Snowflake Challenge promotional banner featuring a chubby brown and red bird surrounded by falling snow. Text: Snowflake Challenge: 1-31 January.

This was one asked me who I "would most want to have dinner with (or tea, or a random afternoon visit), And why? This could be a creator, an actor, a costumer, a set designer, a director, a character, a composer, anybody! What would you talk about? What are you dying to know?"

Okay, generally I'm NOT keen on idea of actually meeting real people I admire. So for example, there's a part of me that would fucking love to hang out with Lin-Manuel Miranda and hear about his creative process. Can you imagine going to the theatre with him? Detailed commentary! He seems genuinely warm and fun and like he would probably give awesome hugs. However, there is also a bigger part of me that is kind of cringing in mortification because my crush on that man's brain (and rest of him) is not small and what if I made things awkward oh god?

Shane Madej and Ryan Bergara from Buzzfeed Unsolved/The Watcher, however, cause no cringing. Maybe because they are ridiculous boys? (and so youngggg) So, yes, would absolutely sign-up for an evening of ghost hunting them at one of the castles or manors that litter the English countryside.

Oh, and also, a night out in West End and Soho with Craig Revel-Horwood and Bruno Tonioli? Yes, would enjoy.

Fictional character wise... Karaoke with the Glee kids? Academic conference with Shen Wei, Bruce Banner. Leonard McCoy, Rodney McKay, Radek Zelenka and Carson Beckett (please, just want to watch them intellectually slay everyone). (Tony got invited but he's probably flying with Sheppard and Kirk, while Zhao Yunlan is challenging them all into some kind of leaning/slouching competition to see who can look the sluttiest against a flat surface). Quiet pint with Jimmy and Duncan from Shetland, and then another with Lewis and Hathaway (okay but now I'm thinking that James and Duncan would hit it off because of the music, why is this not a crossover that exists?). Picnic with Aziraphale and Crowley. Orgy Dinner ORGY AND THEN DINNER with everyone from Sense8. Girls' night in with Tilly from Star Trek Discovery. Every single meal with the Hobbits? Clothes shopping with David Rose.

Phew. Okay, probably should stop there :D

So, Hamilton is out on Disney+ as of today. I'm holding out until tomorrow to watch it with H, because we were going to see it in London last month but then... Pandemic.

Whilst a live show is a live show, there is the compensation (primary attraction) of Lin-Manuel Miranda here and I just... I may... Uhhh...



*gibbers*

Listen, my Small Crush (Tiny, barely the Size of a Planet) is almost entirely due to his creative talent and smarts and personality. The outer wrapping is Nothing To Be Sneered At, don't get me wrong, but primarily I'm like "Sir, is there a way to just fuck your lyrical talent? Because That Thing You Do With Words is very appealing to me and I would like to bang it until all the words were in subscript (geddit?) and it would also be acceptable for you to be involved in that, let's make it a group project."

Anyway. That's the weekend plans.
